Ugh...

I'm overwhelmed with school, work, etc. Any suggestions on how to overcome all this and finish the semester strong?

Intramural basketball

So Powerade came out with its power rankings for Intramural basketball at BYU, and we're currently ranked 13th out of all the teams at BYU!

Ryan burying a 3! He hit 9 threes and ended the game with 34 points!

Dave with a quick steal and a reverse layup. He finished the game with 14 points.

My next adventure

Ive decided that my next adventure is going to be this:

Provo Peak

(its the snow covered peak behind the Y mountain)

Standing at 11068 ft.

I'm thinking about hiking in one Friday and camping in bear flats for the night, then starting out early saturday morning to cover the remaining 4 miles to the summit. Round trip of 12 miles, elevation gain of 6500 ft. Piece of cake!!

Climbing the Y summit

So my friend Dustin and I at the last moment decided to climb to the summit of the Y mountain. We leave at 6:30 in the morning, and first climb to the top of the Y. From there we take a small trail that shoots off to the right, and climbs up through Slide Canyon. It was steadily snowing and there was powder, up to 3-5 feet deep in some spots. In many spots, the powder was loose and the slope was so steep that to climb 10 feet took over a minute. So after almost 5 hours, we finally made it to the top! And the views that we were expecting to see...weren't there. There were near white-out conditions and we couldn't see past 20 feet. So much for the great views.

Heading up Slide Canyon (named for all the avalanches that happen there. We saw one happen on the way down the mountain.)

The struggle up the mountain.

Finally the top of the mountain!!!

Finally!!!!!!!!!!

Its snowing!!!! (obviously not in Orange County, but up in the San Bernardino mountains) So now, I'm faced with a problem. They're expecting up to 3 feet of snow today and tonight, and i have finals this week. So what do I do? go snowboarding or take my finals? Obviously take my finals, but, I can't wait to go snowboarding!!!!!!!!!!

Flying to Palm Springs today

Just an amazing flight to Palm Springs today. Here are a few clips of the flight


Around the Banning Pass:



After landing and re-fueling in Palm Springs, heading back was a little bumpy.

Palm Springs and Back

Jose and I flew out to Palm Springs today. There was a little turbulence on the way there and back, but overall it was an awesome flight!

Mt. San Jactino















Mt. San Gorgonio














Jose and I















As we were flying over March Air Force Base, A C-17 came flying past us on it's way to land! It was much closer than it looks in the video

Its gone!!

So, for the last few weeks, i have been debating if i should keep my hair long, or cut it. Its been nice having it long, it keeps me warm while i surf, i don't have to bother with it, but on the other hand, i do like it short also. So after weighing my options, i decided.
I'll just grow out a mullet :)






















But then i look like a redneck, so i quickly got rid of that and now my hair is short again.
:)

I need your opinion

I'm at a loss on what to do with my hair. Right now, its pretty long. Should i just keep growing it out, or cut it short?

Help me!! I don't know what to do!!

I know, I know...
