Gratitudine

Before it gets too late...

I'm thankful for FAMILY, and being able to spend time with them, and being able to remember how important they are to you when you haven't seen them for a while. (Sorry you didn't get in the pic mom but you don't like pictures! I'm also thankful for my mom.)

I'm thankful for stupid things that inspire you and keep you motivated.

I'm thankful that in this world of online and cyber-everything, we can still write things. And that occasionally when you flip through your old notebooks, you find little remnants of good times.

I'm thankful that I've been accepted to medical school! The process isn't over, so I'm still not for sure where I'll end up, but it feels good to know that someday I'll be a real grown up doing real things.

I'm thankful for good friends that inspire me to be so much more than I am. I'm thankful for times I will never forget.


Happy Thanksgiving!

Confessions.

Look out Usher, I've got some confessions of my own, but they are probably slightly different than yours. Ok deep breath...Lately I've realized I have crushes on a lot of girls sporting...in this order...




Black Red and Gray. If you're guilty of wearing these I am also guilty of probably liking them. Sorry...shoes that's so weird and why did this not happen like 2 years ago when toms first got big? Maybe my love of African children is just beginning.

Also I saw this vid a couple of days ago while I was getting distracted from schoolwork. It's of Michelle Obama in DC with kids supporting her "Let's Move" campaign (Which I think is awesome...at least in theory, even if it hasn't solved childhood obesity). So you don't need to watch this whole video, just go ahead to like 1:50 where black girls are showing their innate dancing skills, and then please enjoy the poor white girl at around 2:02 who is just struggling to fit in with her soulful sisters.

B-sides pt. 2

Back! After a rough week of schooling, B-sides pt.2 is here to debut...Blind Pilot! This duo is famous for having toured from Oregon..or Washington..or something...to San Fran. On bicycles. Anyway they are real fun. The first song is from their new 2011 cd, which I actually don't love except for this song, while the second song is probably their most famous. bam!

B-Sides pt.1

I've been finding some very B-side worthy music lately...stuff that's great because I just barely stumbled upon it, but probably wont be on heavy rotation a year from now. The first band is called Young the Giant, who I could see having a very successful career. These guys have the look of Vampire Weekend, with the sound of the pop version of "the used"...if that's imaginable. (Yup...that emo band from utah that was big 10 years ago). That's my best take on them. The first video is a music video for one of their standout songs, "cough syrup."



The second video is a cool little project they've done called "the open session", where they've played a bunch of their songs in random outdoorsy places. This is one of my favorites called "Strings"



Just a little fun listening, but nothing life changing for me at least. Tomorrow brings more B-sides!

Every once in a while I feel justified for wasting time watching SportsCenter

A Volte Si Parla D'amore...

This is the kind of blog post I try extra hard to never do. The kind that talks about serious things; the kind that spits out to the public (of like...4 people) what is rambling around aimlessly in my head. But I'll make it quick. And here it goes:

One of the most profound things I've heard in the last little while about dating and about love came from ELDER'S QUORUM. I know miracle right? Amongst the legions of 20-somethings flinging angry birds at walls and checking ESPN on their smart phones, my friend Robby Meldau related dating to pizza, and it totally clicked for me. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I shouldn't be surprised. Not only do I love food but since I did live in Italy as missionary and all... Anyway I can't remember the context of the conversation, but he talked about how we are always too eager to make a relationship work every time there's a little spark. Every time we feel anything at all, we get all overly excited and impatient about this one, being THE one. The analogy was that we often try to "pull the pizza out of the oven too early, before it's done." And it's so true. Be patient, let things run their proper course and the reward will be so great.

Also I'm hungry.

My second thought is something I'm sometimes guilty of, but I think a lot of us do it. The old saying is "don't put all your eggs in one basket," but sometimes I think that's the worst thing you can do in dating and relationships. Sure it's important to date around, to have lots of friends of the opposite gender to get perspective, but if you like someone, and you think it's right, go all in. The worst thing you can do is to be enamored with someone one day, and then worry about getting hurt and hang out with 4 other people during the week just so that if the first option doesn't work, you can pretend it never mattered to you that much anyway. We all need ways to cope with rejection and frustrations, but be brave, have hope, and most of all, be honest with yourself and those around you.

Sorry if that got a little weird, haha. Just to ruin the whole mood of the post...sometimes planking makes me laugh, even though it's so dumb. Something about seeing a 7 foot man (Javale McGee) in a freezer (with PIZZAS. There's the connection!) just gets me every time.

Back from Nassau County; Happy Tuesday





Apparently this song was on the movie Real Steel, which i haven't seen but now I might, just to hear this song. It's great. I have to study for a test but NY info will come...

Halloween Costume

I know what I want to be.

Sometimes-

-School takes over your life. And you don't see your roommate awake for 48 hours. And you keep hearing the music playing at the library at night. And you stop exercising as much as you should. Yup, this is one of those weeks. But somehow I've still found a way to start thinking about which one of these phones to get when my phone contract is up:



And I have also recently been wanting a Kindle Fire so badly. What's up with me being so materialistic all of the sudden? Anyway, Guster is one of my favorite bands.(perfect segue right?) I could talk Guster all day long, but since I need to take a test in an hour and twenty minutes, I'll just throw up a video. (I tried to upload one from their last SLC concert I went to, but it was taking foreverrrr)
Anyway, put the headphones in and turn it up a bit, this one's fun.

Anyway, I got to meet these guys the second time I saw them live, and they were so cool. Just real normal and fun people that have families and make great music.

Hidden Gems

Sometimes you stumble upon things that are just amazing. Such as the reviews of Provo Movies 8 on their website:

User reviews on Cinemark Provo Movies 8

5
Great movie theater. My wife accidentally left her baby in the baby changing station in the super nice bathroom next to the luxurious hand dryers. We found out the next day and went to the movie theatre and they went through all the lost and found babies just to find it for her. It was groomed and potty trained and now we'll never have to use the baby changing station again. Great service, great management, great baby get away.

5
Great movie theater. My wife accidentally left her glass of milk in the glass of milk box. We found out the next day and went to the movie theater and they went through all the boxes of glasses of milk just to find them for her. Great service, great management, great theater! New hand dryers are the best I've used!

5
We accidentally left our dog there one time By the time we returned to pick her up (5 mins later), she was professionally groomed and well fed. Great hand dryers!

5
Great movie theater. My wife accidentally left her artificial leg in the theater. We found out the next day and went to the movie theater and they went through all the boxes of artificial limbs just to find it for her. Great service, great management, great theater! Also, they have new hand dryers. Oh, and they show movies.

5
Great movie theater. My wife accidentally put her sunglasses in the 3d glasses recycling box. We found out the next day and went to the movie theatre and they went through all the boxes of glasses just to find them for her. Great service, great management, great theater!

Giuseppina Morabito


Last week, I found out that my friend Giusy Morabito passed away. I met Giusy (short for Giuseppina) in the city of Sanremo in the fall of 2007.


I was working with the other missionary in our district, Anziano Hill, and we had decided to pray about where to go knock on doors. We decided on an apartment complex a little ways up the hill, and after ringing at a few doors, someone asked us to come on up. Giusy, who was around 60 years old then, was there with some friends, and it was really weird how friendly they were; they acted like we were supposed to be there for the party or something. Anyway they asked us a few questions, and we told them briefly about who we were and about our message, and Giusy said we could come back any time we wanted. We began to come back and teach her, and she began to warm up to our message more and more. When we would talk about repentance, she was visibly sad about things that she had done in her past. She began to come to church, and in February of 2008 she was baptized a new member of the Sanremo branch.


Giusy had battled with breast cancer in the past, and while I have yet to hear for certain her cause of death, I'm assuming it was related to that. I've always looked back on my time spent with Giusy very fondly-although I taught many people in Italia, she was the only Italian that ever joined the church during the time I was serving in the area. She had marvelous faith, and a great desire to come closer to God and to find peace in her life.

In my young life I have yet to encounter death come to those close to me. Occasionally I'll go to bed thinking about what it would feel like to lose someone, and thinking about how blessed I have been so far in my life to have my close family and friends with me still. I can only imagine that Giusy is at peace now, and that the many sufferings she dealt with in life have finally left her. I'm grateful for the great influence she was on my life and all those around her.

The video I posted above is by my favorite Italian artist: Jovanotti. Some of the lyrics to the song are:

"Ma l'unico pericolo che sento veramente,
E' quello di non riuscire piĆ¹ a sentire niente...
Io lo so che non sono solo,
Anche quando sono solo.

Io lo so che non sono solo."

"The only fear that I really feel
is to no longer be able to feel anything at all
I know that I'm not alone,
Even when I'm alone.

I know that I'm not alone."

Awwww shucks

Yup it's been a long time again, one of those weeks-long-lulls where I either don't have time to write or I'm want for inspiration. I'm currently sitting at my kitchen table with all these books spread out, ready to be productive on a Friday afternoon and to study...but I figure, baby steps right? I don't want to be thaaaaat productive tonight.

So when I got home from Italy in 2008, I had all these high hopes of writing a sweet music blog. Needless to say, epic fail right? Not only do I not blog, half the time I don't talk about music either. Well, fear not, because this post will be devoted to soothing your need for the latest and greatest: music for dancing, music for running, music for late-night-driving; music to live to.

1)If I ever need to feel good about myself, if I ever need to pump myself up to ask a girl out, or just put on my fake ray bans and roll down the windows on a sunny-day drive, I simply toss my indie-cred out the window and turn this one up real loud: Philip Michael ft. Akon - "Free to Be" (no idea why there's no music video for this one)


2)I haven't gotten into a band's whole cd for a lonnnnng time, but recently I've been listening a lot to the band "The Head and the Heart." All of their songs are good, even if not a whole lot stand out. My favorite though is "Lost in My Mind," which I'm pretty sure was featured on some commercial I saw recently. Anyway, I've never been hip enough to get into indie-electronica (which seems to be what's in these days), but I've always had an affinity for an unassuming, quality indie-folk song. Did I just say affinity? Too many chemistry classes for me.



3) Uh oh, here comes more Indie-folk. This one definitely has a different feel though. I'll admit, this next video is a little dark for my liking, but the song is fantastic (ok it's a little dark too). This song actually came out a few years ago, but for some reason I just barely stumbled on it: Blitzen Trapper "Black River Killer" (Just pretend it's a halloween music video...)

Ok, I just watched it again, and it is pretty morbid.

4) Well I figured you'd need a pick-me-up after that one, so I'll throw a video on here that needs no introduction:


Last Thoughts:
-grab the song "nothing" by Young Man off of Itunes while it's still free!
-The new Blink 182 cd is actually pretty mediocre. I do like the song "Ghost on the Dance Floor," just get it edited
-I'm so excited about new B.o.B, and I really like "Strange Clouds" as long as you can successfully pretend that Lil Wayne Tha Carter IV is actually not on the song

If you have other music to suggest-let me know!

Days Away

Today I had my SECOND cavity filled in my life. And they did not use that ultra-long, lidocaine filled needle. I've still never figured out how that needle fits into someone's gums without poking out the back of your head, or your cheek, or something. Anyway, I guess I should be grateful that no needle was needed, and that my cavity was minor, but sometimes I wonder if I really have a cavity at all. Maybe every 10 years or so they just "fill" one even if you don't have one. Luckily my dentist is THE MAN (Dr. Wilkes-everyone go) and so I almost wish I had worse teeth just so I could go see him more. Okay I take it back.

I have ONE last med school application to finish. ONE. So far I've applied to these schools:
Georgetown (DC)
George Washington (DC)
VCU (Richmond, VA)
Chicago Rosalind (Miami, FL) (Just kidding)
Hofstra (Long Island, NY)
UC Davis (Davis, CA)
UC Irvine (Irvine, CA) - REJECTED
Loma Linda (Loma Linda, CA)
Midwestern U (Glendale, AZ) - Interview Dec. 2nd
UTMB (Galveston, TX)
UT Houston (TX)
UT San Antonio (TX)
Texas A&M (Bryan, TX)
Wright State (Dayton, OH)
UCF (Orlando, FL)

And I'm almost done with AT Still, in Mesa, AZ. I'm so sick of sucking up to other schools and trying to talk myself up, but thanks to my freshman year negligence, I cant really afford to just write whatever the heck I want and expect to be accepted. Woops. I love google maps-ing each of these cities (except Irvine now) and wondering where I may be living next year. I get excited for pretty much all of these places! I just love exploring, and I'm ready for adventures.

Also I have had this thought lately, that it would help to learn how to at least pronounce some French, if not speak it. Because every time I get in the shower/use cologne I feel like I'm getting called things like "Gel Douche" and "Poor Homie."


Oh and there are 6 days remaining until school starts again. Right now I have mixed emotions, but deep down I know it's going to be the most fun I've EVER had, and I'm so excited.

California Sun

..is really what I've been needing all along. High 80's, low humidity, and a pool and a book (the Count of Monte Cristo-I really wish I had read it before having seen the movie). Honestly though, I had completely forgotten how much I love this place. Also, being at EFY all summer was AWESOME, but my body is so happy with me that I'm finally getting some sun, exercising, and not eating anything from the cannon center dessert bar. Tonight I went with my dad and my brother to see....

...and it was one of my favorite movies of the year. Granted, the only other movie I have really liked this year was Megamind, and woops that came out last year, but I didn't see it until it was in the dollar theater at the beginning of this year! Seriously though, tough year for movies. I'm rambling. I'm going to Disneyland next week with all of those great efy counselors out there. I don't remember if I like Disneyland. That's probably not something you say out loud though huh? I'm sure I'll love it-k goodnight!

Lint is a shell's best friend

Blog-a-log. I think I say that in my head every time I get on blogger...blog-a-log. Who knows why. This week has been tiring but great because I have run TWICE. Which isn't impressive, except with efy being so draining, those two times mark the first two times I have gone running ALL. SUMMER. It feels great.
I know I posted this on facebook but I have watched this video like 7 times today. And I keep giggling to myself every time and it is so nerdy.

I went to Arizona last weekend for Robby and Amanda's wedding and it was one of the best weddings I've ever been to. Besides being in Arizona and being so so hot. Sometimes you go to a wedding and it's like, "uhhh I don't know anyone and I've had so many of these chocolate dipped strawberries and fancy lemonades and this collar is getting really itchy...time to go." This was one of those weddings when so much is happening, no one seems too stressed, the bride & groom are actually enjoying the party, and there's a bit of a magical feel to the whole thing. That was last Saturday night in Mesa.

Oh and I decided I'm getting married next summer. I know that's a weird thing to decide when you aren't dating anyone but.... I think it's time.

Guess what I wear as a hat? A lentil!

11:45 pm.

Tonight was very reminiscent of being in high school for me: hanging out with people I love and going to In-n-Out for some late-night nutrition. So fun. But you know what I love? That drive home alone afterwards. And walking into my room and being alone and just having time to think. I was never one of those go-home-and-crash-in-two-seconds kids. I always stayed up for awhile, thinking about the night, thinking about life and the future. I'll admit that I often felt insecure in those alone moments in high school, but right now, I just feel at peace.

On my mind:
Harry Potter 7.5 comes out this week
Arizona on Sat!
My UC Irvine application is almost done
ipads. I want one
I just got Google+ but so far I haven't really figured it out

And as always, Italia....

My first day in Italy


These are my favorite Italian homies. The boy in the back's Dad died a few months before I met him here, and he gave me his favorite little matchbox/hotwheels car on the last day we came to their school to help teach English. I know those two things are completely unrelated, but he was the man...I loved hanging out with all of Francesca's class.

I'm going back next summer. Probably to teach English, but no matter what I'm going back. Anyone want in?


Saturday, July 2, 2011

Humbled.

Happy 2nd of July! I can't believe it's already July, and that I'm almost halfway done with EFY. Shoot. I'm just sitting in my old apartment now, (I'm displaced until efy starts again tomorrow!) and working on my application to UC Davis! These applications get old. I guess staying here in Provo without a job/career path would get even more old though, huh?

Can I just say that for as much as I couldn't stand listening to corny EFY music as a missionary, I really like this song. Granted, it would probably sit more comfortably on an Adele B-side album than an EFY soundtrack. We got to see the original singer perform it live, and it was great.


This last week I felt so blessed. There was an AWESOME girl at efy this week, that happened to be from my hometown, who suffers from Conversion Disorder: basically she passes out randomly, and has to be revived by a "femoral artery rub"-which basically means you have to dig into their upper-inner thigh. I don't know all of the physiology behind how it works, but I was a little nervous all week about her passing out. Welp, she passed out twice this week. The first time happened on my morning off, and my awesome co-counselor Marissa brought her back that time. The 2nd time, I was in the next room over. When I got there, Marissa was trying to bring her back but she wasn't coming around after about a minute, so she asked if I wanted to try. I'd practiced the femoral artery rub approximately 0 times previously, because it turns out that rubbing someone's crotch who is not passed-out is not only extremely awkward, but could also be viewed as some sort of dodgy, illegal behavior. Anyway, I reached to where my best guess of the femoral artery would be and started rubbing, and in about 3 seconds she was back, and she just started sobbing; a mixture of embarrassment and frustration.

There are so many times in my life where I feel like I get blessings I don't deserve, and this was one of those times. I had no reason to be successful, but for some reason I was able to help this girl, and I felt a love for her in a way that our Savior must feel for us every day. That feeling I had to be able to heal is comparable only to the feeling I had to bring people into the church as a missionary in Italy. And I'm full of gratitude and humility, because I am so undeserving.

On a lighter note, this is what google offered up when I typed in "awkward" to make sure I spelled it right:

I lol'd. They are probably from Utah.

Summing it up

Well I'm on office duty at work right now, so I figured it would be a good time to post something before I disappear for another few months. Anyway this is my 4th week of EFY and so far each of them has been distinct...mostly for injuries and what not:

Week 1: knee dislocation week
Week 2: the flu epidemic week
Week 3: the on-stage seizure/first ambulance ride/15 year old fan week
Week 4: the lightning strike/MCAT week

I know I should talk about those in more detail, but I'm feeling a little too lazy to sum up all four weeks. But it's been so fun here! I thought I would definitely not be efy material, and not that I have become efy material or anything, but I've had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends. This week has been great, but it's been stormy! We had our games night at Kiwanis park yesterday which ='d pioneer trek a la 1846 hike from helaman halls to the park...it was so long! Luckily we have cars, but we had to hang out along the path and guide them up to the park, and it was windy and raining and lightning and thunder and all that fun. So then we did a few games in the wet and rainy park and then apparently lightning struck a gazebo thing where some of the counselors were and all the nearby kids ran under trees (aren't they boy scouts? c'mon!) so we reverse-trekked it back down to the dorms. Of course then it stopped raining. Anyway I wasn't near the park when the lightning supposedly struck but it sounded like a real interesting time!

Oh I got my MCAT scores back this week! I got a 32, which is a very average-accepted white kid score! So I think I'll be accepted somewhere! Sweet huh? I thought I could maybe do a little better than 32, but 32 is still very decent and like I said, is about the average score for accepted students. So no johns hopkins for me, but the real good news is: no trying to figure out other options besides med school either! Because for awhile now I have felt so so good about going; I've felt like it is really what I want to do in life. Now I have to finish my applications though, George Washington done, 11 (or maybe 14) more to go.

I also wanted to pay a little tribute to one of my sports heroes who just retired today - Paul Kariya. Kariya was my favorite player on my favorite NHL team, the Mighty Ducks (they were probably everyone's fav hockey team growing up, but at least I lived near Anaheim growing up). He retired after 15 seasons because of brain damage he received through multiple concussions, even though many teams offered him contracts to come back to play. Through his dedication to his rehab program, he "jumped from the 20th to the 80th percentile in brain function," which I admire so much. There are probably tons of people that would ignore the Dr's advice and just play, especially if they're feeling better, but it takes guts and a lot of wisdom to give up the more exciting life of playing a sport you love to focus on staying healthy. So admirable.


More stories to come? Yessir.

My new schedule

Now that I have devoted my summer to giving bandaids and claritin to emotional EFY-ers, Saturdays have become an interesting phenomenon in my life. Today we wrapped up the week at 930AM, followed by a Denny's run for breakfast with all of my great coworkers.(quick side note: Due to the marathon on University today, I slowed down and asked a cop where I could turn to get to freedom blvd. He asked, so I told him I was going to Denny's, to which he responded by asking if I was going there to eat. My possible responses: 1) "Yeah, why?" 2) "No, just going there to hang out." I was definitely in a tight spot there.). After Denny's, I pulled into the elms, and was greeted with that familiar musty smell of a 40 year old apartment complex in need of some serious renovations. After unpacking a few things, I jumped in bed and have been there ever since. And it's 6pm. And I feel great. Apparently the week of no sleep catches up with me every Saturday, and renders me immobile for the day. Anyway, I guess I've been here long enough. Time to enjoy my week off! On a super sad-for-Ross note: I lost my ray-bans. Yup, my fake, 7.5 euro favs from my senegalese homeboys living in Italy. Maybe that's the real reason I want to stay in bed.

Signs of things to come?

34, 34, 32, 34, 34, 36

Those are the scores I've gotten on my practice tests this spring, with the MCAT this THURSDAY at 1pm. I love all of those scores. I'm trying not to get too overconfident for the real thing, because from experience last year, the real thing is a little harder than the practice tests, but still, I'm averaging 34! Which means I might have to change the group of schools I'm applying to... Anyway, this week has been crazy, with the test on Thursday, and then EFY starting this weekend. Did I mention I'm going to be a health counselor for EFY all summer? Haha yeah sometimes I think I'm the opposite of EFY material, but I guess we'll see how it goes! It pays well, and I don't have any other plans, so why not right? Just wish I has a week or two after the McAT to relax!

Ps, anyone wanna go to Oklahoma and noodle with me?!

I have the best part-time job ever

Sometimes I think I should just teach Italian forever. But I feel like my favorite part-time job might not translate as well to a full time career. MCAT a week from today!

004 professor white is awesome
004 I just want to say that Professor White was an excellent professor. I have observed other student teachers before and he is one of the best I have seen.
004 Professor White is the best Italian professor at BYU! He is very good at what he teaches (he sounds Italian!) and is willing to help whenever needed. I would most definitely recommend him to everyone wanting to take Italian.
004 Good teacher. Knows how to explain things correctly and in an efficient manner for all to understand. A lot of busy work but I guess you need in a class like this.
004 I felt that you did a good job of explaining things even though everything was in Italian. You kept your explanations simple and basic which helped. Also, I'm impressed that you stuck to speaking 100% Italian every class; I thought you would stray into English explanations more often to help clarify. But you didn't so that also really forced us to pay attention and learn quickly. The activities and frequent interaction with classmates helped to clarify new concepts and instill understanding. I loved learning a little about the culture and country itself, too (as opposed to learning just the language).

I do have one small suggestion that may or may not be good. I know we can email or talk to you in person, but I think opening up Monday class with any questions students may have had about the previous week's on-line homework would be a good way to make sure we understood what we learned. I know after I did the homework I sometimes had a question about something but forgot to email or ask you. Following up on Monday might help, I don't know.

Other than that I can't think of any other improvements. I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot. Thanks for all your time, effort, and enthusiasm Prof. White!
004 Great job Professor White -- you handled the class wonderfully. Grazie!
004 Professor White was an exceptional teacher. Learning a language is very difficult but he made it as easy as possible. I thoroughly enjoyed this class!
004 This class was great. I learned so much but never felt overwhelmed by the subject matter. Professor White is an excellent teacher. I have taken foreign language classes before and Professor White is one of the best teachers I have had. This class is well organized, well taught, and a lot of fun. I am excited to take the next Italian class.
004 This was one of my favorite classes this semester, and I really learned a lot!
004 Professor White is one of the best instructors I have had at BYU. I decided to take Italian for fun, and did not have much background knowledge about it. Through his teaching strategies, I was able to understand the course materials and do well in the class.

The Dog Days of the MCAT

Because hanging out in the library studying for the MCAT all day saps all the fun out of life, here's what's trending at Sophomore Skyline :)

1) Jovanotti: So I heard about this guy a lot in Italy, but for some reason he never interested me much. Just recently I've been listening to him almost every day!


2) My car hit 100,000 miles! I was getting excited for it for at least a week. And then it passed and I missed it. Anyway, I've had my pickup truck for like 7 years now, and I love it. It's been with me for many good times.

3) Deciding where I want to apply to medical school. Yeah, it can be a little stressful, but there's a school in Bradenton, Florida, that I think would be kinda fun to go to. School by the beach? That would be a nice change from the cold Provo winters. Anyway, we'll see!

Go BYU!

I love this. Brandon showed he's a real man and came to the game to support the team and cut down the nets after winning the MWC championship. Amare Stoudemire, don't be an idiot.

And do less of this:

The End.
