It's Coming

So I was talking to my advisor after class today and she was looking over my classes that I had taken and are yet to take. She noticed that I was very, very close to being done and so she told me that graduation would be right around the corner. She told me that sometime next week I need to go back into her office and file for graduation. Now most of you are probably thinking "Wow Jaron! That's great! Especially considering we were never expecting you to get out of high school! Congrats!" Well while I am thankful for all of the congratulations that I hope will be coming my way it suddenly hit me that I am about to be out of here. I mean don't get me wrong. Everytime someone asks what I've been up to I say "oh you know...just school...trying to get out of this dang place." While that is true I have been so accustomed to going to school and being a bum that I have no idea how I am gonna survive making my own income and supporting myself. So when she told me that I need to file for graduation my stomach kind of turned over and made me realize that I am about to get out into the real world. And that sucks....Hopefully you guys will be there for support as I try to finish out this semester and then my last semester before I am done with this place. Dueces!

Just A Few Quick Points

So since I have nothing of real interest to blog about I figured I would just give a few quick points of things that have been going on or things that I have been thinking about.

• School is going pretty well this semester. Sometimes forget about my online class but I remember soon enough. Made a 78 on my first accounting test and after the first round of tests in all my classes I am not forced to drop one yet so that is always a good sign.
• Been REALLY enjoying the newest season of Scrubs. It picked up right where it left off and is still as funny as ever. In fact several of my favorite shows are back on including Heroes, My Name is Earl, The Office, and Entourage. Check them out if you have a chance. Additionally I watched an episode of Hell's Kitchen today with my roommate and I have to say that it is pretty cool.
• On Saturday I get to coach two basketball games which is gonna be cool. They are workin hard and trying to get better so its pretty cool to watch and be a part of. 
• Also on Saturday as soon as my game is over a bunch of us are loading up and in the Explorer and heading to Austin to hang out with my brother for the night. I haven't seen my brother in a long while so I am pretty pumped about hanging out with him again.
• Last weekend I drove to Kyle, picked up Nic and then drove to Bridge City to help him paint. As soon as we got done we headed back and got a night of sleep. We then got up the next morning and started to clean out his hot tub in his backyard that we found out eventually did not work. However even though I did more physical labor than I had ever hoped for I had an AWESOME weekend. It was great to get away from the college atmosphere and just hang with one of my best friends in the world. Thanks Nic and Jo for letting me stay and I am still missin you guys.
• Finally, I have been thinking long and hard about studying abroad next fall. I will be a college student with one semester left and absolutely nowhere to live so the only logical idea is to leave the country and study elsewhere. Hopefully I can find a program that will still satisfy the needs of my degree plan and is also affordable. So if you guys are lookin for something to add to your prayer list then feel free to pray about that.

Well thats about all I got for this time. Dueces!

Superbowl Ads

So as a Marketing major most of my teachers told me to watch the Superbowl commercials and see which ones I thought were successful. Other than the 3D commercials, which I have come to realize only the superbowl party that I was at actually had the 3D glasses, there were only a couple that caught my eye. So if you were lucky enough to have the 3D glasses and enjoy the full experience then here are the commercials that stood out....

I thought this next commercial was especially interesting. In order to catch the mind of consumers Miller High Life took out a lot of 1 second ads...I though it was a very interesting looking at it from a marketing point of view....
