To the pursuit of happiness, or at least 15 more minutes of sleep.

I know I'm not alone in this, but it seems harder and harder to wake up in the morning. It's summer! I am supposed to be relaxing by a pool, sleeping late, and enjoying not being in classes. Instead I woke up early on Monday to go to an IT committee meeting, followed by a follow-up meeting with some of the Student Government members. Happy Monday!

I love what I do, and I wouldn't give up all the opportunities that I have been given, but I do need a vacation. At least I'm not taking classes over the break. To those who are, I salute you. It seems that I will be one of those college students that takes four and a half or five years to graduate. Such is life. I'd rather take longer to finish than lose my mind to finish "on time."

I may be getting ahead of myself though. I guess an introduction is appropriate. My full name is Aaron Timothy "Jack" Wylie. Most people call me Jack, but I don't mind either. I grew up in Arvada, Colorado (I'm a 7th generation of Arvada). I began my college career here at Metro studying Music and Political Science. I have served as President of the Student Government Assembly (SGA) since the special election in the Fall of '05. Those are the basics.

To continue, I do love my job. The SGA is so important, and I hope that the sleep that I'm losing over it will pay off in the future. Sleep is nice, but no one ever gets remembered for being really good at sleeping. More to come...

Cheers,
Jack
