Steak Dinner
Janelle promised me a steak dinner after my last final. Here are pics of my delicious 16 oz medium rare prime rib. I have to admit that I like my steak a little red, well maybe a lot red. I feel bad for Janelle because she has to sit there and watch me. She likes her steak to look like charcoal.
As you can see. I ate everything.

It is Finished!
Walking out of my final today I could not bring myself to do anything crazy. I kind of got a little emotional knowing that I was finished. I know it is silly.
The whole drive home I found myself saying out loud, "I am a graduate! I finished! Look at me I am a graduate!" If anyone else would have been in the car it might have been weird. Fortunately I was alone.
Between work and school I came home and this is what I found:
Above is grad man. He was showing me how to dress.
It was a great surprise.

Final Final
In the morning I take my last final. It is open book, open notes, and open computer. This means that I will most likely fail the final because I will be spending time trying on ESPN or something else ridiculous.
In sports when you score there is a little celebration. In soccer it is after a goal and in football a touchdown. These are the sports where it is most common because scoring does not happen as often as some others.
For the past 6 years I have dreamt of this moment. I have been thinking about what my celebration should be as I walk out of my last final. I am tempted to try a back flip because of how excited I am going to be, but I do want to be at my BBQ on Friday instead of recovery at the hospital.
I will let everyone know tomorrow.
See you all at the BBQ!

StarStruck
The Jazz could have ended their series last not, but instead lost game 3. So instead of getting a huge break the team is headed to Houston which means this thing will probably drag out to six games. At least they won game 4.
While I was at the game I was standing in the team tunnel when someone came and started talking to me. We were chatting a little about the game, but I did not know who I was talking to because they were standing behind me. When I finally turned to address the person I realized it was Jeff Hornacek. We talked for almost the entire fourth quarter.
Since I have started my internship with the Jazz I feel that I have been very professional. I have not been awestruck by many of the players I have dealt with. Don't get me wrong because it is exciting to be around the players, but I understand that I have a job to do.
Talking to Jeff Hornacek was completely different. He is the one I watched in high school and was a part of the playoff team that went to the finals. For the first time I was really startstruck.

Relfection
I wanted to take a moment and reflect on the last few months of my life. As I am sitting hear there is only one thing that comes to mind.
How am I still alive?
As the end gets closer the motivation factor goes lower and lower. It is sad because there is still some work to be done. Like the ten page paper that is due tomorrow.
At least the Jazz won tonight and I had 4 goals at my indoor game. What a way to take my mind off the stress.

Playoffs Here We Come
Last night was the last regular season game for the Utah Jazz. Although San Antonio absolutely dominated, we are still in the playoffs.
Just after the game last night I got the opportunity to head into the Jazz offices and help prepare the playoff media guides. I was there until 5:30 this morning. It involved a lot of stat gathering, copy editing, and formatting. A lot of it was very tedious and we had to wait on the league to send us a lot of information. I did notice that my name is on the front page. What a great addition to my portfolio.
The only problem is that now I am running on two hours of sleep in the last 24+. I am now on my way to school which means there is no chance that I am going to be able to stay awake.
GO REDBULL!

I broke down and finally did it. I have just created my very own facebook account. I can see how it might become an addiction, but if my blog is any indication of how much time I will spend on facebook, then I have nothing to worry about.
