Wintersongs Concert & The Last Week of Classes (Part 1)

     Hey Aggies! It's Me Ya Nephew, Ya Couzzin, Ya Kinfolk: T.J.

Here with another quick post!
   
      If your like me during this time of year you just can't wait 'till school lets out! I LOVE Utah State, but sometimes a brother has to go back home and be with his family =) but I have three weeks until that happens. So I will be on my grind, which means I will will be studying, knuckling down getting my assignments in, and staying focused in class and making sure I finish this semester strong! I honestly, have to keep reminding myself that I have to finish this semester first because my mind is already on next semester! I am always ready to take on the next big thing in my life. So speaking of this semester, this week is the Wintersongs concert. This year's concert will feature USU's Chamber Singers (who were nominated for 3 Grammy's last year) University Chorale, & Women's Choir. This will be a traditional winter concert with carols, holiday songs, & christmas cheer. I know I will be there will you?
So like I've said life for me never stops just picks up and slows down, but I am so glad you are coming along for the ride!!!

Be Encouraged! & Happy Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve, BDAY THANKS, & BREAD PUDDING!!!

Coming at you with another post. I just want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes, my Big 20 was great and now we are headed for the BIG 21!!! I hope all is well with all of you as well. Be Encouraged in the holiday season, I hope you are able to spend it with those you love and cherish. As for me I will be planning on a great holiday and some studying =)!

A Message 2 Future AGGIES, Some Sports, & It's My BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!

It's Ya Man, Ya Nephew, Ya Friend: T.J. What's Goin' On My Aggies?!!

I hope all is well with you and your family especially during this time of year with the holidays and Christmas Break right around the corner. I hope your working hard in your classes and trying to finish the semester strong! Shouts Out to all my High school Seniors & Juniors I hope your on top of your collegiate paperwork because Graduation is going to happen sooner than you think! So consider this a friendly reminder from me encouraging you to hurry up and submit your applications, write your essays, come up to campus for a visit, etc. and Hopefully I will see you in Aggie gear REAL SOON!!!

Baby Birthday Picture (Don't Laugh) =P

 
     As far as this week goes, the campus is really electric off of one of the greatest sports weekends in Logan that we've had in a while. USU Man's Basketball defended home court against the Courgars of Provo and the USU Men's Football came back with a stunning victory over San Jose State and now they are two games out of Bowl Eligibility. Man how I wish you were there, but let this post get you excited about coming to Utah State!

  
    Lastly, this friday is Diversity Day for high school Seniors & Juniors! I hope you've booked your ticket and I hope to see you there! I can't wait to met all the new potential Aggies of Utah State! Also, this Friday is my BIRTHDAY!!!! The day that only comes around once a year where I celebrate my gift of life! I'm so excited, I honestly don't know how I plan to spend the celebration, but I'm sure I will think of something fun. =)

Be Encouraged Aggies!!!

USU Volleyball, 11.11.11, Vetrans Day, and a tiny tiny bit of FOOTBALL

Hey AGGIES!!! It's Ya Bro, Ya Cousin, Ya Kinfolk, T.J.

     I hope all is well with all of you as it is with me. This was a bitter-sweet weekend because USU Volleyball ended another great season with their last home game on Saturday, Now their on the road then off to the WAC Tourney 2011 (GUD LUCK LADIES!!!) Moreover, with Thanksgiving 20 days away and Christmas about 40 days away you can't help but get excited. This is that time of the semester when you get ready to make that final push to finish this fall semester strong. Usually students start thinking about the holidays and going back home for break and this provides the living undercurrent for students working hard just to get done with this semester. So I hope your studying hard, getting your applications in, and writing those papers, etc.

This is the Cathedral of the Madeline in SLC (Pretty Huh?)

   

     This week is one of those once in a lifetime kind of weeks because this Friday is 11.11.11 which is really cool if you ask me. So if your like me (and your not going to make it to the BYU vs. USU Basketball Game) then you will be paying homage to soldiers, and others who fight hard to protect this country because it is Veterans Day. This year on 11.11.11 I will be performing at the Cathedral of the Madeline in SLC in a Veterans Day concert! The American Festival Chorus & Utah State Chamber Singers will be performing the Benjamin Britten War Requiem. 

Here's a link to the article the Salt Lake Tribune wrote about it, check it out!!!:

Be Encouraged Aggies and have another great week!!!

P.S. I have to say I've been an Aggie football fan since the beginning of the year, been to every home game so I think I'm well within my AGGIE PRIDE to say GO AGGIES w/ the upset of Hawaii (BOWL ELIGIBILITY WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE THIS SEASON ONE GAME AT A TIME)
