Julia Says...

Julia wanted some space to say a few words. I take no responsibility for these words.

On this day...

Yesterday 18 years ago the world was a dark and dreary place. Today 18 years ago the world suddenly experienced joy as a tiny new life entered spreading light, joy and happiness where ever she went. The following are pictures from the world-wide celebration of my birthday. As you can see those closest to me must look away at my joyous brightness. =)

Done, Done, Done!

We've Done It! 

August 31, 2010: Jen and Erin begin the adventure called Freshman Year of College. 

April 21, 2011: Jen and Erin take their last finals officially closing the chapter of their lives called Freshman Year of College. 

So yeah....

We've Done It!

P.S.  Jen and I will be moving into the recently

 vacated basement at 294 E 60N. Lindon, UT. 

Any suggestions for a name change?

P.P.S. If you'd like a slightly more sentimental 

reflection check out Call Me...Erin.

Valentine's Day - A mockery

Some people spend their Valentine's day with loved ones. Some of the rest of us clearly are not getting enough love living away from family. We have parties that center around the making and destruction of a man shaped piñata, that only gives chocolate when destroyed. This is our story...

Typical man made into Piñata.
Big Head and all.  

Editing

I am aware that it is now February, but January flew by so I still consider this to be the beginning of the year. Moving on.
As this semester moves along its way there has come a time for editing. Changing, altering, readjusting, anytime anyone starts something new this time period comes around, and this semester follows that rule. I had thought that with one semester under my belt I had a handle on college. However, this is one of those extremely rare occasions when I, Erin Hamson, am wrong. I know you are all furiously recording this moment in your calendars and journals, go ahead, I'll wait. Are we all back?

DU's Defense

The following is the email the sports editor for the Daily Universe sent in defense of the paper:

Dear Erin Hamson,

Thank you for reading The Daily Universe and for responding. It's always great to know we have readers out there who pay attention to what we're doing.

First, I want you to know right away that we at The Daily Universe have no intention of discriminating against women or treating them unfairly. But I think where your argument might be a little misguided is that you're taking a stand for women's rights, when really this is an issue about sports journalism and not sexism.

Thursday is now Tuesday

Apparently to The Universe Thursday is now Tuesday. Don't ask me why this is, it just is.
