Hey Guys,

 

This has been a very exciting week for myself.  There are a ton of exciting activities that surround the university.  My class schedule is pretty crazy too:

 

Monday, Wednesday, & Friday:

8am – Economics

9am – New Testament (not Fridays)

10am – Chemistry

11am – Calculus (meets everyday)

 

Tuesday is a study and lab day for me and Thursday I have a class for my engineering program.  Following my classes in the morning I head to work.  I am working at the Processing Center in the basement of the ASB Administration building.  Pretty cool stuff.

 

There was a big barbeque that we went to on Tuesday (of last week) and we used our really nice swimming pool on Wednesday.  I went on a very cool date on Friday night and then Saturday was the football game.  It was fantastic.  There was a Regional Conference for Church on Sunday and we were visited by President Monson, Elder Wirthlin and also later that night by Elder Erying. Last night we went to another party and there was a ton of food, live music and some good times.  Today has yet to unfold.

 

Something to check out:

 

Cosmo Films – This is a special mini series that they are making around our mascot.  They are showing a new episode at each home football game.  They have all kinds of cool things on their website including the video and a video blog.

I thought I had other things to share.  I guess I will do those later.  School is fun and getting better.  I ride my bike everywhere and enjoy it.  I am also including some pictures.  There are thousands that I wish I could share.

 

Motorcycle – That’s how you can get where you need to go.  We got front row parking at the football game.  No problems with parking for us.

 

 

Party – Just a crowd shot at the party we went to last night.

 

 

Beard – Picture from the drive out to Utah when I still had my nice beard.

 

 

Football – This was at the football game.  Look close, the cheerleaders are doing something really cool.

 

 

Roommates – Those are two of my roommate, Mike and then Jaime.  We were walking to that party yesterday and I took a picture of the three of us.

 

 

So that’s all the time I have to share at the moment.  There are millions of cool things that I learn every day and things that I like.  My professors are all really good and I will talk with you soon.

Hey Guys, 

 

Happy Labor Day! If you did not know, this is Farook and I am currently at my apartment in Provo, Utah getting ready for another exciting year at Brigham Young University (BYU).  I got back from the mission in June and spent the summer in Fairfield with my family.  It was a great summer.  We did several “mini” vacations to San Diego, the central coast, the northern “lost” coast and also to Lake Tahoe.  Our family drove out to Utah this last week and got my sister and I moved into our apartments and also managed to enjoy the Swiss days in Midway, Utah.  

 

Most of my mission was spent in the country of Honduras and Belize.  We managed to visit Guatemala a few times while in Belize.  As missionaries we were able to learn many things about the people and cultures of Central America.  I also took many pictures and short videos that I turned into a film about my mission.  It looks pretty cool in DVD.

 

My apartment complex is really nice.  It is called King Henry and it is south of campus.  We have a very nice swimming pool, a hot tub that is under construction, large green fields that surround the whole complex, the prettiest girls in the nation and home to four of the coolest guys ever; Mike, Jaime, Bryce and myself.

 

I hope that all of you get this email and if you don’t want to get these emails just write me.  I hope that you all have a great day and I will try to write again soon.  I will send some good pictures too.
