A Personal Post From Grant

Hi everyone! Yes, believe it or not, it's me, Grant, blogging personally for all to read! I'm sorry I've been a little dormant for a while here. I haven't been completely blog-free though. I had an assignment in my class last semester to keep a blog about my thoughts on the media in my life. I called the blog "Big House Media". You can check it out here and I would love to know your thoughts on the topics I addressed there over the last four months.

Speaking of media, I thought I would update everyone on my current plans for the future. Bri and I will be done with school at BYU in about a year, after which we plan to move somewhere in the US so I can attend graduate school. Of course, the exact location will depend on where I get accepted. Some places of interest at this time are Florida State Univeristy, Indiana University, Georgia State Univesity, and possibly BYU as well. I want to study Instructional Design at any one of these schools. It just so happens that BriAnne's grandfather is a world leader in the area of Instructional Design (no joke) and so I'm pretty excited and confident about my opportunities to go to a good school and prepare for my future profession.

Some other updates: As some of you might already know, I have been a member of BYU's 9-man a cappella group, Vocal Point, for the last three years. I have loved every minute of it, but next year I have decided to exchange my seat as their vocal percussionist for a new position, the BYU A cappella Club President. I love to sing and perform a cappella music and look forward to the opportunity to help other students on campus do the same. There is some incredible talent and enthusiasm here for a cappella. I feel blessed to have had recieved this responsibility and hope I can make a different, big or small, before I take off for grad school.

So, there you have it! That's the news from Grant! Keep a look out here for more updates on some projects I'm currently working on.

So, to end of a fun note: please enjoy this short commercial I made for my media class last semester.

Cool commercial thingy Grant! You are a brave man to go to grad school. Either brave, or insane :)

Nice job on the commercial Grant. I was thinking alien invasion at first. Mona's expression at the end is priceless.
