Whoo Whee!

Hello folks! It's certainly been an interesting few days to say the least!

Foremost, I've gotten some great pep talks from some of the awesome friends out here. Like I don't know how I would have made it through this week without the help of some of these awesome people. But alas! the week is just about finished, and all that really stands between me and a weekend of awesomeness is a dreaded chem test. We've been learning some rather interesting things pertaining to reaction equilibrium and thermodynamics, so this test will definitely stretch me. Hopefully it's not as difficult as I fear it will end up being. 

Then again, today is the last day of January, which can only lead to good things right? It's a new month starting in a little while, which - while not as significant as a new year or semester - is another great point to turn around and make some better habits. For example, I've not been the best about making sure I get to class this past month due to various reasons. A large reason has definitely been this crazy weather that we have around here, but another was just a plain lack of motivation to attend. Honestly, I think the weather here is crazier than Florida's, in large part because today it was absolutely gorgeous outside, while a couple days ago it was muggy, snowing, freezing, and just plain miserable. I don't know about all you folks, but I hate doing much of anything on days where it's so miserable outside that it usually leads to me feeling miserable, and it's tough to fight that. I think today was the first time in a couple weeks where the sun was actually shining and wonderful. 

On another random note, I passed my cleaning check!

Moving on, I went to my first NRHH (National Residence Halls Honorary) meeting tonight, and had a blast. We had a workshop about portfolios and the stuff that usually goes in them, while eating some delicious treats made by the NRHH President. The treats were probably the best part - they were basically an apple with the core taken out and filled with caramel, then chopped into bite sized pieces and drizzled over with chocolate and butterscotch :D After that we planned what all we're doing for the next couple months, so that we can hopefully be super awesomely productive.

On another totally random note, I work some pretty awesome people :D

Yet it seems as though my posts drag on forever right? Well… I’m sorry :P I just like typing so very much, and it’s quite fun when you type quickly – much faster than I write – because it makes it easier for my ideas to be transferred at almost the rate I think them up allowing my posts to be more of a dialog that I have with myself and less of a blah, blah, blah, boring whatever you wish to call it. Anyway, I recently learned the importance of actually doing things throughout the week and not procrastinating. It used to be that I was able to work incredibly fast and just get stuff done right before it was due… but I’ve recently discovered that no longer works due to homework taking many hours of work even at a feverish pace.

And because I really like random notes, here’s another one! I clearly know too many awesome people… because I was about to start listing them, but I realized it would probably add another 9 lines or so before I got through all the awesome people, even if I just wrote their first names. So, if I’ve recently told you you’re awesome this post/part of the post is a shout-out to you! Or those random people I’ve thought are awesome but neglect to tell them… because honestly that’s usually not in my comfort zone.

That’s all I got for tonight… I best be off to bed else I might not do well on my chem test tomorrow.

‘Til Next Time,

Kid History, RHA, and Monday what could be better?!?

Alright, it's been a week since I've posted anything on here... so I figure I best get on it. My post today will have a few different parts as they're my thoughts about a few things over this past week.

First, is Kid History. For those who have never heard about it, it's a youtube series where the kids tell a family story while the parents act it out. So, I bring this up because recently (this past Friday the 25th) I went on a date to the premiere of the newest episode of the series. Honestly, I've never been a huge fan of the series, largely because it's one of those things where it's only funny if there's other people you're watching it with that are laughing. There are a few parts that are genuinely funny, but they are fairly rare - so I wouldn't advise going through and watching all 10 episodes in one night alone in your room. But, the reason this is relevant is that the premiere was the releasing of episode so I got to see it before it was even published on YouTube (check the dates!). The premiere was quite exciting, but I have to say my date was definitely more enjoyable than most of what was happening at the premiere. She has a fabulous personality and is pretty easy to talk to, so I had a great time. The episode was quite hilarious in large part because of the giant crowd of people that were all in the Wilk Ballroom to watch it. Honestly, I think if the video wasn't even funny in the slightest the people there still would have laughed just because it's Kid History and they are expecting to laugh.

Moving on... Saturday was RHA (Residence Halls Association for those who don't know what it stands for) leadership retreat. It was at a place called Spring Haven Lodge, check out this link! SPRING HAVEN! It's a super awesome place, with an indoor treehouse (complete with a slide!), two pool tables (those were quite fun to use), an air hockey table, a foosball table, and an Indoor basketball court! It's a giant mansion basically. We couldn't get into the bedrooms, so I have no idea what those look like, but there is a giant lake outside. I think some people were taking pictures... but I personally was too busy having fun and learning things at the workshops to bother. I learned a ton about RHA, the people I'll be working with, and what awesome stuff I can help do! Honestly, it was just a wonderful day. The people were absolutely fantastic, and I think my favorite thing during that day was when the RHA president was teaching a workshop about programming and a giant block of snow fell off the roof right outside the window behind her. She screamed, jumped forward, looked behind her to see what the shadow and noise were, and then proceeded to freak out for about 30 seconds before realizing that we were all laughing at her reaction as we heard the noise and saw the snow (which she didn't see as her back was towards it). It was definitely a you-had-to-be-there moments of laughter, but now I can look back on it and laugh with those that were there. In other news, for lunch they served us Costa Vida (shameless advertisement coming up) which was totally awesome. I don't think there's any in Florida, but for those of you who see this in Utah you should definitely go get some in my honor. For those in Florida... go to Chipotle. It's tastier and more filling anyway.

Next on the list of things to reflect on is Monday (Today). It's definitely been an interesting day in quite a few ways. To start with though it begins yesterday on Sunday when I made the foolish choice to go Tunnel Singing at the time that it's always at of 10pm until 11pm. It was super fun - don't get me wrong, I really, Really enjoyed it - but it wasn't a great choice for a few reasons. Foremost, it was wet, and kinda cold outside. This, combined with the fact that I was walking there and back with some crazy friends of mine, resulted in quite a bit of snow being thrown around on the way there and back leading to being cold and wet for a while that night. Secondly, my roommate hadn't been feeling well that day, and there was a high chance I would be sick the next day already, so being out in the cold, wet weather late at night was not a good idea. Furthermore, I stayed the entire time - another bad choice, I should have left halfway through - compounding the problem as an hour of singing really wears on your throat (which wasn't good for me, because my roommate had a cold thing that made his throat hurt). So, as luck would have it I woke up this morning not feeling well and it took a really long shower, in addition to some meds after breakfast to make me feel well enough to go to class and brave the snow/ice that had fallen the night before. So, that led to me missing Chemistry, but I went to all my other classes today. Biology was enjoyable, largely because the TAs were teaching and they did a fantastic job explaining DNA to us, and I feel like there might be a post about Biology later this week. Later today I went to Mission Prep, and was recorded answering a few questions for some video that Deseret Book is making which was pretty sweet. In addition to that, RHA was awesome today as we planned for our program that's happening on the 8th. Then, since I was sadly unable to find anyone available to hit with me, I went and hit some serves for about an hour. Then went home and ate food and came to work.

Randomness doesn't fit me well...

Well, I wrote part of this post last friday, then forgot to post it so I guess I'll add to it today :P

1/18/13
Alright, hopefully I'll figure out what to title this post by the time I finish it... since as of now I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to end up writing about. Honestly, I wasn't feeling well today - took some medicine, slept a ton, and now I'm feeling significantly better so I figured I could write on here. We've already been through two weeks of classes, and what a couple weeks it has been. I'm really glad I ended up coming back for another semester here, because I feel like this semester might be my favorite one of college yet. I'm finally taking classes for fun, which as of yet has been a novel concept to me and lead to my burn-out last semester. Since I've been sick today I've had plenty of time to think, but most of those thoughts are probably just going to stay locked up tight in my head. My mind has been wandering from the most random topics to even more random topics a few examples include girls, missions, work, class, video games, Christ, The Atonement, Church, my lack of a calling, the confusing process of changing wards in-between semester while filling out your mission papers, and many many more things as I've done very little today. I've learned today that the most disgusting tasting medicines usually work the best, and how great it is to be able to afford those nasty things when I need them.

It's definitely been an interesting LONG weekend. I was super glad not to have classes today. So glad that I actually considered trying to get ahead on homework so that I could go on a date... yeah didn't happen quite to the extent I planned. Anyway, that was partially because I made some chicken today to try and figure out how I most liked my chicken. I think I decided upon breaded and baked/cooked some way largely because I'm just a huge fan of breading stuff. It is super easy to do, makes it more filling, cheap as can be, and incredibly tasty! I also discovered this weekend that I like pineapple... considered I had never actually tried it before I thought it tasted kinda funny at first, but I slowly got used to it. I also decided today that I spend WAY too much time at my workplace, even when I'm not actually scheduled to work, so I think I'm going to have to tone down how often I'm over there. Considering it is just a minute and a half walk from my apartment, and there's always one of my co-workers there, I understand why I'm there so often... but I seriously need to stop it. I think I might spend more time at the office than I do in class, which is definitely not good. Have I noted yet how awesome Patriarchal Blessings are? Well, I recently decided to start reading mine at least once a week, and it's definitely made a difference in how I look at things. It's almost a guaranteed way for me to feel the spirit super strongly, which is nice, but it also helps me see more of the big picture. Aside from that, it's been a pretty chill weekend. I read The Count of Monte Cristo again - still a super awesome book. I also spent some time with my roommates chatting about random things, which was nice since we're all pretty busy most of the time. Another random thing I did was get my Foodhandler Permit, which is just nice to have. I've had one since 10th grade, when I took my commercial cooking class, but it was about to expire so I renewed it so that I can cook for stuff again! I also discovered that my hands get dry really easily and even started bleeding at one point today (not excessively, just enough to make me notice it and put lotion on them). Well, that's all I got for now. If you have any ideas on stuff that you want me to fill you guys in on - my opinion on something, how to make tasty food, anything you think I know about and want me to talk about, feel free to send an email or write it in a comment :D

Tired... All... The... Time...

I have recently discovered great value in getting enough sleep. Well, that sentence in itself might reveal what these last few days have been like, but for those who don't know me all that well I guess I'll dive into a bit more detail.

After having a great (albeit full) third day of classes, I ended up going to bed at about 1am after getting off work shortly after midnight. I woke up feeling refreshed, and headed off to chemistry class. After chemistry, I chilled out with some friends in the TA lab then went to eat lunch before my bio lab. We took a pretest in lab, which I found out today I got a 39% on it, which isn't nearly as bad as I had expected since I felt like I know literally nothing it was asking. After Bio lab, I went home and worked on homework until it was time for university Chorale. I convinced my roommate from fall semester to come give it a try, and told him to add the class if he liked it (as of when I'm finally writing this post he has). After choir I went home and basically only had time to eat, take a brief nap to make sure I wouldn't fall asleep at work, and then headed to work. After work I crashed on my bed for as long as I could until I needed to wake up for class on Friday.

Friday was a pretty great day, if only because there was nothing all that bad that happened to me. I didn't have mission prep that day, I was convinced to join RHA (Residence Halls Association), and I got my homework turned in. Friday night I hung out with my roommate and his girlfriend at her apartment with all her roommates and one of her roommates' boyfriend. It was a pretty great night as we hung out and played Starfox 64, Mario kart 64, and watched movies (Thumbelina) until waayy too late with me spending time working on labs for my programming class throughout. I ended up sleeping in on Saturday pretty late (like 11:30am).

And so Saturday didn't start until the afternoon, and it was time to do laundry. After doing laundry, I ate some food and headed up to watch the men's tennis match against Weber State. It was a pretty entertaining matchup, but that was probably because BYU killed them until the final match (which I think pitted a freshman against a senior) where we finally lost a point (in the overall match - we had lost points  in the individual ones). That ended up taking about 4 hours from start to finish, so I was able to get a good gauge of how long those are going to be in the future, and it was definitely interesting to be able to see what level they play at in college. For some reason, I had always thought they were super good and could probably have gone pro instead of go to college, or dropout and go pro at anytime... but from what I saw they weren't that much better than I am, and if I actually played more than a couple times a month I could probably be as good as them.

After Saturday of course comes Sunday, which was a super awesome day. It was my second day of not having church until 2 pm  and it was absolutely fantastic! I was able to spend the morning doing various things to get ready for church and just chilling out. It was a pretty awesome day as after church I watched a devotional given by President Uchtdorf, which was pretty awesome about the importance of Truth in our lives. He made a great point that truth is true, even if nobody believes it. But, between church and the devotional I made some pretty tasty chicken (if I do say so myself) that was stuffed with cheese, and spiced to have a little bit of kick to it. I would have taken a picture of it... but it was my first attempt so it didn't look all that pretty even though it smelled divine.

Monday was the start of a new week of classes, which means it should be better than the previous one right? Well... it kinda wasn't. I woke up late, missed class, didn't have very much time to eat lunch, and didn't have a very good morning at all. But, at least the afternoon was pretty sweet. My mission prep teacher was out of town for his calling (he's on like the General Sunday School Board or something), and so we had his Son-In-Law come substitute for him. It was definitely different than having the actual teacher, but he was still pretty awesome and I learned quite alot about different kinds of teaching. For example, a good teacher/missionary will focus on themselves - how they look, and various other things focusing on them - while a better teacher/missionary focuses on the message they're sharing - what they're saying, how they're saying it, if it makes sense, etc - while the best ones focus on the people they're teaching and what their needs and wants are and how to best fulfill them while still teaching something. After that I went to RHA class for the first time - it was certainly an experience - we started out with the basic college introductions - name, where you're from, major, and an interesting fact - then jumped straight into planning for the February program that we're putting on. It was actually quite a lot of fun, and felt kinda like I was back on the Stake Youth Council again (ah... the glory days). Sadly after that there was no Home Evening, so far as my apartment heard about, so I didn't really do much except for homework.

On Tuesday, after going to bed pretty early on Monday I actually got up on time for classes (the one time this week that has happened - except Friday since that day hasn't hit yet) but missed the bus because my nose started bleeding right before I was going to leave and took forever to stop. It was actually rather inconvenient, but I ended up getting homework done that I hadn't planned on doing until Friday evening finished. I also ended up going into work for a little while to help out and teach one of the newer people how to do a few things. I of course made it to University Chorale (I don't think I'll ever miss that class unless something comes up... it's soooo late in the day), and had a total blast there since we're singing some pretty awesome songs. I'll try and find some good videos and post the links in my next post. After choir, I went with my old roommate to the bookstore so he could buy the music, as he had decided to add the class after singing the right part (on Thursday he sung my part - tenor - which he doesn't like very much, he prefers baritone). After that I headed home and devoured some food in preparation for spending another grueling four hours at work on a tuesday night. Tuesdays are unusually busy, largely because all the Resident Assistants (RAs) have staff meetings throughout the building. After work I ended up not being able to sleep, and instead spent a couple hours cleaning and organizing my room - which in retrospect was not the greatest choice, but I did it anyway because the clutter and inability to find anything was really getting to me.

So, after staying up insanely late, I of course, woke up insanely late and missed class (it hasn't been a good week so far) and ended up using my new-found time to bake cinnamon rolls and snicker-doodles for my good friend's mission call opening that was to be later that night. I did go to mission prep and RHA, as those classes are fun and late in the afternoon, and then came home to finish baking. After that was done, it was time to go up to American Fork for her mission call opening, so I went over to my friend's apartment who was giving me a ride. We crammed the four of us into her little car, and headed to go pick up another person who was also going who lives over in Heritage. After picking him up, we started headed towards the interstate, but at the intersection of university and 450 East (by the Marriott center - worst intersection ever by the way) my friend's car started having issues - like the radio would randomly shut off and her lights would flicker in and out briefly - so we were talking about how her battery was probably dying (in addition to it having a crappy transmission so it didn't work all that well - thanks dad for not having crappy cars! ) and she thought since it didn't look like it was going to move anyway, it would be a great idea to try turning it off and turning it back on. But, since the battery died after turning it off, we couldn't get it to turn back on. And so, the pushing began, in the freezing cold weather, the other four of us got out to push the car out of the intersection and to try and find a parking lot. Luckily, because we're in Utah and not Florida, we happened to be on the top of a hill, so once we got it going it rolled away from us and the four of us pushing looked pretty comical trying to catch up to it. After the driver went past about 4 entrances to various parking lots by the stadium, we figured she was going to try and make it back to Wyview so we stopped running and just walked until we caught up to her. So, she eventually turns off into the stadium parking lot and proceeds to take up about four parking spots with her car parallel to the parking spots. We decided that four of us would run back to Wyview and retrieve the car of another girl in our group , but neither her nor her roommate that was with us had keys to the apartment and so they had to stop by my workplace to get one. After running back to Wyview (a total of about 1.2 miles of running from start to finish) we hopped in the car and went to pick up the guy we had left with the other car. We picked him up (and the treats) and left that car there taking up four parking spots while we headed off to watch our friend open her call. After we left - she got called to Lima Peru West by the way and it was super awesome to be there - we dropped off the fellow who lives in Heritage and went to jump the other car. We discovered - much to our surprise - that there was a basketball game that night and every single parking spot had been taking in the lot we left the car - except for the four it was taking up. Luckily we had left it with the battery on the correct side, and it was pretty easy to jump the car and head back to Wyview. After that wonderful adventure (it might have been the first exciting thing I've done since I got here!) I went to sleep in hopes of getting up on time for class today.

Which of course didn't happen. It's just been one of those weeks where I haven't been able to sleep all that well during the night, and end up not waking up when I need to, either way before and going back to sleep or way after and freaking out because I miss class. So, after missing my first class today, I headed up to Bio and took a quiz and learned the stuff I had missed yesterday (Score!) from my TA. She's super awesome and actually helps us to understand what we need to, and I was definitely glad I went to lab. After lab, I hung out with my old roommate (who is in both my Bio section and choir with me) until it was time for choir. After having a blast in choir singing some incredibly fun songs (still planning on getting those links... this is actually still the same post that I promised that earlier in), I went to take a pretest - which I again got about a 40% on. Those have shown me the obvious need I have to attend class this semester - which I'm working on - I've started working with my roommate so that both of us actually get to class on-time, and after this depressing week it'll probably actually work. Anyway, after that I went home and ate some food and watched some HISHE (How it should have ended) videos before coming to work and spending forever writing this marathon post - terribly sorry about that by the way - and so I have finally caught up!

From here on out, I'll try to post every other day (maybe daily if I can pick a good time) regarding my insights, things I've learned, and done that were of any note at all. Anyway,
Until next time,
Jordan Nielson

And so it begins... again.

Well it seems fall semester has come and gone already, and with it comes the dreaded winter semester. Most of the stories I've heard about BYU growing up have been about how insanely cold it always is the entire winter semester and how that same cold made both of my parents independently choose to return to Florida instead of staying here. So naturally, as I returned to Provo I was expecting to pretty much die of freezing before I ever even made it to finals. Clearly though, I haven't frozen yet so y'all still get the chance to read my boring and usually lengthy blog posts about my highly uneventful life. My flight back out here was not all that eventful, though when I got here it was rather cold. After my flight I took one of the airport shuttles down to Provo and it wasn't too bad of a trip.

It ended up that I got the chance to work the night I got back, and the night after that as well. The next day was my favorite as of yet, since it was my first day of two p.m. church! I woke up eventually, hung out with my roommates, and made it to church perfectly on time :-) My new ward seems super awesome so far, and I even found a couple people I already knew there. After church, I made some snickerdooodles for man meeting, but I ever-so-slightly over cooked them so they weren't as soft as I had wanted. I actually went to bed really early Sunday night so that I made sure to wake up on time.

And so, the first day of classes begun. It started out like most days this semester will - freezing cold in the negative temperatures, but somehow I still made it to class on time. My first class on Monday was C S 142, intro to computer programming. That class (as evidenced by my pre-semester anticipation) is likely to be my favorite class this semester, and so it seemed on the first day when I found out that it actually has extra credit rewards for turning things in early. After that I went to Chem 112, and honestly I'm still not sure what to think about that class. At 11 it was time for differential equations, and my Asian professor makes me fear that I won't be able to get much from the lecture and will have to rely on the TA and book to get the material into my head, such a shame too because I was kind of looking forward to this class. After D.E. I head to Bio 100, where my professor somehow managed to find an excuse to play a clip from star wars (where Yoda is training Luke around the part with the x-wing) and a clip from the lion king all in one class period while wearing a Jedi robe with a $300 light saber :-) After a two hour break (for now... come march I'll have two hours of tennis there!) I headed over to mission prep and was totally blown away with how enthusiastic my professor and classmates were to be there. It would seem that everyone was super glad to be in the class that at one point had a waitlist of over 150 people for a 60 person class size, me included. Anyway, after that awesome class, I went home and chilled out until it was time for bed.

Then came Tuesday, which as a general rule for me is a pretty chill day. I started my day at 10 with chemistry again (stupid daily classes.) then went off to staff meeting and work for a little while until it was time to go to University Chorale at 4. Then I went home and ate some food afore heading back up to work until midnight. Then it was time to rinse and repeat Monday's schedule on wednesday, but there were definitely some cool things that happened Wednesday as it was no longer the awkward first day of class. Foremost, in my mission prep class, Steve Jones (the guy from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ArIj236UHs ) Anyway, he was super awesome and had a great testimony of missionary work to share with us. Another cool thing that happened on Wednesday was that I experienced for the first time what it's like to have awesome teachers who have different sections of the same class later in the day then my scheduled class time. I slept in a bit late, and was able to start my day in chemistry, then go to computer programming, then bio, then at two I was able to go to Diff Eq, and mission prep at 3. I went to work later that night as my co-worker's brother was getting his mission call, so overall it was a pretty sweet day :D

Ya know... I think I'll stop this post here and let the next one catch up to today so that I can finally start writing about stuff other than my boring life :P

'Til I finish the next post,
Jordan Nielson

Changing directions

So ya know how this blog usually details all the fun little things that happen to me? Well, that will probably be changing a little bit at least so that I can use this to fulfill a requirement for my mission prep class :D

Hopefully that gets you readers as glad as I am, because it gives me an excuse to write on here at least 3 times each week! That means you'll get updates incredibly often, and you'll probably actually get some insights and things I've learned since I gotta find something else to start writing about if I'm going to be posting that often or y'all would get incredibly bored with my life story.

So for now I'll give y'all the good old rundown of what's been happening since my last post all those many months ago. I'll make it brief:

October: Video games, being social, working, baking, and such took up the vast majority of my time and my priorities started to slowly shift away from class and more towards having fun since I wasn't liking my classes.

November: Boy was I looking forward to that break, more so because of the lack of homework that had to be turned in than anything since I wasn't able to go home. It was definitely an interesting month as I saw my motivation wane and my desire to achieve fall into a pit and never climb back out.

December: Wow. This month was probably the craziest month I'd experienced yet here at college, filled with tons of sadness, grief, fun, tests, and insanity that I can't even begin to capture it in this brief paragraph. But! I got to go home halfway through the month and that was absolutely spectacular. I was super happy to be able to catch up with so much awesome family that is still down in Florida, and I even got my wisdom teeth out and lived to tell the tale!

And now I'm back to January! Magical isn't it? I just find it crazy that yet another semester and set of classes here at BYU has started once more. This semester I'm taking a whole new slew of classes, so here's the list including my pre-semester reaction to each:

1. Differential Equations [Meh. another pure math class... wahoo time for super repetitive homework and no fun in class]
2. Into to Chemistry Part 2 (112) [ Ah, so it begins anew - my fight with chemistry will never end will it? Perhaps I'll like this half more than the first half... I never was a huge fan of the microscopic anyway]
3. Into to Computer Programming [Wahoo! A 3 credit class that I can take for fun to actually have a marketable skill! Totally down with that - definitely looking forward to this class the most]
4. Bio 100 [meh, it's a GE so i might as well get it over with]
5. Mission Prep with Brother Wilcox [This class will probably be my second favorite as it's the most applicable to me now... what with getting started on my papers and getting ready to go and all]
6. University Chorale [Wahoo! I got into a choir class! This will hopefully be one of the more fun classes I take and relieve stress instead of adding it]
7. TWO Tennis Classes?!?!? [Scratch that. I'm most excited for these two classes, but sadly they don't start until March.]
8. RHA class [Well... I don't really have a pre-semester vibe for this class since I was just convinced and worked out how I could do it tonight]

In case you missed that... I'm taking 18 credits in a total of 9 classes, 9 credits of which I'm really looking forward to and the rest I hope to be as excited about once I actually start class.

In other news, I switched back to my summer apartment to room again with Master M (the awesome RA I was rooming with summer term). So, if ya wanna send me mail or anything (always appreciate it - you might even get a shoutout on my blog and on facebook!) my address is once again 1938 N 40 W #68 Provo, UT 84604.

Anyway, this post looks long enough to me for now, I'll probably write another one later tonight if I get bored that actually talks about the start of this semester from when I got back to Utah until whenever I'm writing it. After that though, I'll have to start incorporating random things that I learn and encounter throughout that seem interesting.

'Til Next Time,

Jordan Nielson
