hello!
Hi Mathyou. How are you this morning?
pretty good!
Awesome! did you get a good sleep last night? And did you do anything fun for halloween?
I don't think I can chat for long, I've got to go get ready for school, but I have a quick second
Oh wow you have school early!
I watched A quiet place with some friends
No worries. Oh sweet, I've never seen that. Is it pretty good?
ya, I have to leave around 7:30 but I still have to get ready How about you?
Is it true that there is no talking in that movie?
Ya, there is absolutely no talking i found it pretty interesting Have you heard much about it?
That is weird. And I just hung out with my wife and my brother came over last night and we had pizza and talked. We also passed out candy. Thats the about the extent of my hal halloween haha. And no I haven't heard much. But from what I've heard people like it a lot.
That works! Sounds like tons of fun though
Yeah it was fun! My brother was showing us all these songs that he's been working on recording. Do you have family up here?
When I got on this morning I honestly expected noone to be on. Haha. Do you have classes this early too? No I dont have family near provo They live about an hour and a half up north
Haha that is funny! I have class at 9 but I'm studying for tests that are coming up. Oh nice, do you visit them a alot?
Oh, gotcha! That makes sense. What classes do you have? I wish I was able to visit them more
A lot! I'm taking eighteen credits!
Its just really hard, seems how gas is expensive
Yeah. I guess an hour and half is pretty far.
I think I actually pay just as much in gas as I do most other things in my life right now. That even includes rent and tuition. Haha
No way! Thats crazy! What kind of car do you have? does it get pretty good milage?
Thats a ton of credits. Are they easier classes? If not that would absolutely kill me. I dont think I have slept a full night this entire semester and I have only 15 credits
Yeah it's a lot and most of them are hard. I'm almost graduated so I'm taking all the upper level classes. Haha try having a baby. Then you really wont sleep haha. But you get used to it.
No, I have a chevy blazer, and it gets like 12 miles per gallon around the city and like 20 on the freeway Have you just recently had a baby?
Yikes yeah thats not very good mileage! I'm sorry you have to pay so much in gas. Yeah just this last april.
That would make it even more insane with eighteen credits
It's really fun though! He is so cute.
Thats pretty sweet. Do you also work? Im just trying to figure out how you budget your time, cause that almost seems impossible to me haha
Yeah I work a little just on campus but I dont have time to do too many hours. So most of my money comes from scholarships and government aid. But hey, you gotta use it while you can! It is definitely hard to manage the time. But it's possible.
Thats true, thats similar to me. Maybe that makes a little more sense then, I work as many hours I can in a weeks which usually is about twenty hours. How many years have you been at BYU
Yeah so that would be probably just as busy! Where do you work on campus? And i've been here since 2013 but I went on a mission in between But consistantly since 2016 So I graduate in April. Where do you work on campus? Or is it an off campus job?
I work at the library, in the online learning department, we pretty much make all the online tutorials that you see, for the writing 150 classes and for the library I enjoy it a ton though!
oh thats cool! Do you know how to code then?
We sit and work on all these fun projects with the adobe suite No not generally although, I do know how to code and can help them when needed Which is sometimes frequent They do need someone to help them with code every once and a while.
Sweet. Sounds really fun. I've already wanted to get better at Adobe. I went to the software training classes that they have. Last semester and they were pretty good! It's cool that the library has those classes for free!
And thats when I generally come do something. But even at that it is generally just some javascript or html or something. As an online learning design team, its almost as if they stray away from the code development stuff
It would be fun to learn how to code too. It probably just takes a lot of time to learn how to do it right? How long did it take you to learn how to code?
That is pretty cool that the library does it. Ive actually gotta go now But it was good talking to you Have a great day!
Okay no worries. It was good talking to you to!
