Hello?
hello yes We are too good at this
Okay Second Place is catching up? What do we do?
Yeah, now he was only like 15000 behind you I have no clue, This guy is super commited
How is he going so fast? Do you think he has an accomplice too? Well eventually he is going to crack.
I dont know, but Its actually not that hard to get points fast, you just need to type a lot Like i just had a 15 min conversation with a guy and I racked up 25000 points
yeah seriously. Ok we just gotta keep this conversation going as long as we can and type as much as we can.
So it goes quick!
Yeah it does! You can get about 100K per hour if you type quality stuff.
but its true, this guy is moving super fast
Well he probably wont be up at 6am so that's our advantage. Literally last time the only competition was 1 and 2. 3 was like 5 million behind.
Man, I hope so. I guess we just have to be committed and consistent. That way we can outplay the other people
We just gotta wear him out. Seriously. It's gonna be a few days of hard work until we break the million mark and then I think it might die down
okay, I can do that. Like if I have a reason to do something, Ill go all out man. Heck ill wake at 5 for a couple days
Cause seriously  it's all about dedication. And we have a team. Se we have an advantage. Yeah I would get up at 5 too. I like the spirit of competition.
Thats true. Me too! I am a little salty that I am not in 1st place anymore. I really wanted the Glory dude, but I guess it doesnt matter that much anyway, so I guess the goal of this contest is to have interesting conversations right?
He you can still pull ahead. Seriously this 2nd place guy probably just has a lot of time right now. But he will give up soon. Yeah that is correct. Interesting converstaions for science.
So we should like pick one of our classes and like teach each other about what we learned in that class from the day before
Did you know that babies are born more symmetrical and attractive if they have healthy pregnancies? Okay yeah lets do your idea. I could talk about my chronic disease prevention class.
yeah, tell me a bit about that!
Okay! So basically this class is all about preventing disease Disease is linked to diet and lifestyle, as I'm sure you know.
ok
A little bit is genetic, but lifestyle definitely has more affect. For example, just increasing your physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight can decrease you risk of heart disease like 20 % Sitting too long is also bad for your health. So I guess we are not doing good on that right now. Trans Fats are very bad like don't eat those at all
Yeah, Homework gets me good with the whole sitting thing too Why are the so bad?
Something can have trans fats in it and still say it doesn't. The limit is .49 grams. If it has over that they have to put it on the label. So what you want to look for is the ingredients list. Look for anything that says "partially hydrogenated" Thats trans fats. And they are very bad for you. Just a 2% increase in calories from trans fats can increase your risk of heart disease by 23% So yeah. Really bad. But the good news is it that the FDA is working on getting them banned for good. What classes are you interested in?
So I really like my new testament class My teacher is super cool! He studied theology for years! He even went to Yale divinity school for theology So I like it because its a very spiritual, and very academic approach to studying the Gospels,
Nice. I took a new testament class and really liked it! What is your teachers name. Yeah totally. I agree.
Its Professor Combs
Oh nice. I don't think I've ever heard of him. BUt I'm sure he's great. What others classes do you like?
Well, accounting is actually not that bad.
Yeah I really liked that class! What do you like about it?
Like, it isnt the most interesting of subjects, But I feel like it is really useful knowledge
Very true. Just common business language and knowledge. How to read financial statements and infer information from them is useful in a lot of ways.
Really I just like the fact that I feel that it is useful. Like they always say that accounting is the language of business, and it reall kinda is
Especially in investing. Totally.
So, Its fun.
Who do you have for it?
But to be honest my classes arent super interesting this semester. My teacher is Porfesor Larson Profesor
Oh cool. I had Stice. But yeah thats too bad I hope you aren't super bored of them. Have you thought about what you want to major in more or not really?
Well I have definitely thought about it a lot, but Im not really any closer to really making a decision. I think Im going to at least audition to get into the commercial music majo, but I am very unsure If I would actually do the program, I just kinda want to see if I have what it takes to get in. Which to be honest, I think I totally could because one of the biggest parts of the application is the submission of a 3 piece portfolio of original musical works.
Thats a good idea. Well you know if thats what you really enjoy then I think it would be awesome. And you already have tons of songs so yeah you could smoke that section easy.
And I spent a ton of time over the summer learning about audio engineering and recording and I feel like I could totally record some sweet songs One of Adam's friends actually writes songs too and we started to record one of her songs last week, and it is turning out super cool! Its a super rough draft right now, but I know that it will be awesome when it is finished
Yeah you could! That would be sweet. I want to hear it when you are done! I mean is that something you can see yourself doing though?
Not really. Its like something that I would want to do on the side. Like have a home recording studio.
That would be sweet too!
It would be fun and all, but its not something thats really scaleable. Like it could only turn into a self-employment type of deal And I think it would be a lot smarted to try to get into something that could grow into a real business Hey, but I just got an idea So, in my entrepreneurship class, one guy came in and explained how he really like the car dealership industry So he called up a bunch of dealerships and asked if he could just hang around and see how they do business. He told them that he was a student and that it was for his classes which to be honest, it was
Yeah? Then what happened?
Anyway, after spending a few weeks at a few dealerships, he noticed that a lot of them faced a similar problem.
Uh huh. What was the problem?
Customers would bring in the cars to get work done, and then they would come back and complain that their car got scratched or damaged while being worked on and that they wanted the dealership to pay for the damage.
Oh wow. Thats shady. So he invented a recorded device to see if the damage actually happened at the dealership then?
And there really wasnt a good system in place fro the dealerships to proove that the damage was already there.
Totally. That would be really frustrating.
SO he inventing this archway thing that a car drives in and out of when entering and leaving the dealership that documents every square inch of the car. That way that customer can ensure that the dealership didnt do the damage, and the dealership can ensure that the customer isnt lying just to get free repairs on their cars
Thats sweet. I'm sure it's pretty successful now. What is it called?
I don't remember, It is still pretty new, but yeah, it is going to take off
Yeah. I would get in on that company now and invest in it. Then you could make a good return when it does take off. You should look up what it's called. So are you thinking you want to do something like that? Be an entrepreneur?
Anyway, the point is, I should go call up local recording studios and see if I can just go hang out and see how they run things
Ohhhhh I see. Then you could see if they have any problems that need solving. I see where you are going with this. Good idea.
I can play the college student card and while im there i can look for common frustrations that people have in the studio. Thats the best way to start a business, am I right? You have to solve some sort of pain
Yeah you do.
Plus it is an industry that I am passionate about, so it would probably be super fun to work on
well you can solve pain, save money, or provide a better service. Yeah thats true. You would have a lot of fun. That honestly sounds like a great idea!
I might just try to do that
I would totally go for it.
I am getting really fast at typing This is good practice haha
Yeah me too. My wrists are kinda starting to hurt But no pain no gain
What about you, have you had any cool business ideas lately?
Yes Many of them
Do tell
So I've been thinking about information products a lot lately. You know, knowledge of some kind that people will pay to get. For example, Many of our friends spend too much money at the grocery store. Like 120 bucks a week.
Alright, im hearing you
We only spend like 40 a week so natually they are like, how do you guys do it? How do you save money?
Holy cow, how do you guys do it?
Well, a lot of people just don't know how to budget and plan. We just budget and meal plan. It's pretty simple.
Like, I spend more that 40 bucks a week
I'll spare the details for now, but if we create an online resource that teaches people how to budget and plan to save money at the grocery store while still getting great food to cook, then we could sell it as a course or ebook once it's made you can sell it as many times as you want It's free to store, free to copy, and free to distribute. So cost is really low. It's just a lot of time to make it in the first place.
wow, that actually is a pretty good idea And youre right, the consulting industry right now is growing like crazy!
Yeah and the ebook would also have ideas for how to be more healthy which would solve another problem. That people have bad diets in america and die or heart disease which is totally preventable. Yeahconsulting is good. But this isn't consulting because we don't actually have to do anything one of one with anyone. Just create the book, market it, and then put together some automated systems to sell it.
I guess you have a point, It is more one of those self help type of deals
Yeah. And like it  probably wont be as influential as the car dealership thing. But still I've had some other ideas for like physical products but I didn't write them down. I'm coming up blank right now. But yeah I love the idea of business and entrepreneurship.
Yeah, It is super cool.
My Dad and Taylor's Dad are both entrepreneurs and business owners so it's kinda in our blood if you want to think of it like that.
Again, I dont think that i would study it, but it is at least super cool
So why did I choose dentistry? Because it's half business half medical. So it's entrepreneurial without the same risk What would you study then? I mean you could lilterally study anything if you want to be an entrepreneur.
You got me. I have no clue
I mean you could do accounting and still start a busines. Then you would know all the numbers and tax stuff. Dad worked for a company for a while and then started his own stuff. So there's nothing wrong with getting a "job" and then doing something else later.
Oh boy. Don't get me wrong, I know that my accounting class is kinda cool, but I would never study accounting. I dont think that its my cup of tea
What is your cup of tea then? Camomille? Ginger Lemon? Raspberry Hibiscus?
And I know what you mean. I have definitly looked into other jobs, I just, well, havent decided
Yeah I get it. It takes a while to choose. What are your top 3?
Hey! But I think found a sweet minor that I would like to do if I get the chance! Its call Logic.
Which one? Logic?
Its like philosophy and kinda like abstract algebra. I don't totally know, but it definitely interests me a lot!
Haha cool! Sounds like fun! I like alegebra and philosophy. Algebra is so cool. Like you can literally predict anything with just equations That's what I do in my physics class.
The last couple of months i have been way into philosophy and humanities and art and stuff, but I also really like algebra. i dont know, It just seems like I would enjoy it a lot
It's fun to figure something out on paper and then do it in real life and then see it actually happen. Yeah thats totally true. Well, I will say that a job in the humanities is basically non existant. Unless you want to be a professor. But I do think that knowledge of the humanities is very good and makes you a well rounded person. The hard part about school is that your major doesn't really correspond to your job most of the time. Like I think the statistic is that 65% of college grads end up in a job that has nothing to do with their major. I think it's a much better idea to work backwards.
yeah, that makes sense
In other words, find out the career/job you want, and then ask someone in that job what they would recommend you do in school to prepare you It's nice because we have so many options here but that also makes it hard to decide. Like in bolivia you could pretty much just do construction or drive taxis. But here the opportunities are so wide that sometimes its stressful to decide what you want. Also just let me know when you want to quit. We can pick it up again in the morning or another day. But I think the mornings would be prime time.
yeah, that sounds like ecuador too So someone in the ward just invited me over to watch a movie, I dont really want to go, you know, because im going pretty strong on my movie streak
Of not watching movies?
But i probably will because i want to build up some stronger relationships in the ward! Yeah man! im on a roll
Haha well you don't have to. But yeah! I think you should go! But first.... Do you like Natalia?
But I still have a few minutes, but I also dont really want to stay up too late I dont know if I know her well enough to say that I like her, but She is someone that would at least like to get to know.
Thats a good step. You'll have to let us know how the date goes.
Plus like, you know how when you meet someone, Like speaking of girls, no matter how cool they are or whatever you can just kinda feel if something is there or not. You know, like theres chemistry or something?
Yeah I know. Some people are really cool but you hang around them and you like "no this would never work." But other's are more mysterious and you're like yeah I can see this maybe going somewhere.
So like, with most girls i meet, I dont feel anything, even if i think they are super cute and funny and whatnot And i think thats fine, thats just kinda how life it is
Yeah. That's good. There is more to a girl that cute and funny. You need to relate to her on a spiritual level. And your goals for the future need to align. But that being said, it doesn't hurt if shes also cute and funny.
But just hanging around at grandpas house, and in the car drives, and we also had a BYU cousins game night last sunday that she came to as well it was just something that kinda felt like it was worth at least trying. Its not very explainable, but then again, I dont think it is supposed to be something explainable.
Yeah thats a good thing to feel. And you may not know the ending but no matter what happens it's good to move forward. I understand.
I think its just something that everyone has to experience. I mean thats why we're right
Thats how I kinda felt with Taylor. Like I was like "this is a good thing and I'm willing to let it keep going to see what happens". And now we have Oliver haha
haha, anyway, we'll see yeah, dont expect that from us haha,
Yeah we'll see. Don't put too much pressure on it like just have fun. But also don't be afraid to pursue a good thing. Family and Marriage is AWESOME Like so fufilling And happy and just good. Lots of blessings. Like even more than the mission. Also lots of hard things. Like even more than the mission.
I know I know, But It also isnt the next step for me.
But such is life.
Haha, like the next step is to just get a second date
What do you mean it isn't the next step? Ahhhhhhh I see. Yeah! That's true!
If you think too far ahead you just get lost you have to watch the path infront of you, you cant just think about the destination
Good point! You will do well in life And with girls.
Hey, I found a friend to fix up my scooter. It is going to be awesome
Yeah you told me! The guy in your ward from the Engineering program. When is he going to fix it? I'm probably gonna stop chatting pretty soon.
Im not sure
It's been a long day. But hopefully I'm still in first. and we can chat more tomorrow. I really think this first week is critical. Like just one week of crushing it do get super far ahead and then no one will be able to catch us.
Alright sounds good! should we get up early tomorrow
I think we should try and go till 10 pm though. Ummm yeah lets try and do an hour tomorrow morning early. Thanks for being willing to do this with me.
dude, no problem. Like i said, I just like getting things done! You know, like working towards something! So ill totally get up and party I mean cht chat
Okay sweet! I'm glad you like working towards something! Lets do it! What time like 6am?
Yeah dude, ill do 6am!
Okay sounds Good. For the last 5 minutes we should try and write a story together. I'll write a few words and then you pick up where I leave and we'll just see where it goes Once there was an angry
man who lost a lot of money.
One day, in vegas of course, as he was coming out of the casino, he was suddenly confronted with
a very big decision. He had to
choose between using the leftover change in his pocket to buy lunch or
stealing from the old man crossing the street. However, before he could make up his mind
two strange men in black suites approached him from behind and called his name. They told him
to follow them because
they were working on an FBI investigation in which he was a prime suspect. The man was surprised because
he had never actually committed any crimes before (even though he was just contemplating stealing from an old defenseless man)! So he told the agents
that they must be mistaken. Then they handcuffed him and took him anyway. Alright. I got to go. See you tomorrow!
The end
