Today as I was reading through the ams.org website (American Mathematical Society)... You know just keeping up to date with the Math world :) ... I came across an article that said "Top Job in America: Mathematician" with a link to an article done by the Wall Street Journal. I followed the link and found this chart...

Goodbye and Farewell


Today I was thinking how crazy this summer is going to be. There will be few to no boy's my age there because most all of them are serving MISSIONS! As amazing as this is, it is still going to be crazy! Especially not having my four of my very favorite guy friends there! Two of them have already left, (Steven J. and Cory) and the other two (Tanner and Steven H.) are going to be leaving in not too long! I'm so excited for all of them... but I'm afraid I'm going to have to find some new pass time this summer since I won't have my pranking partners and rock-band buddies around!!! Good luck to all four of you though! I know you will all be Outstanding Missionaries!
