Holy Crap It's July!

Well I've almost made it. I've almost made it to the end of my first year in college......I feel like....old.
This semester have been full of fun, spiritually greateness, and even more great things. I really ought to make a book. I made it down last wednesday night because I figured I'd only be missing two classes, one each on Thursday and Friday, and then I'd have more time to be home. But alas, the friend I was looking forward to spending another 4th of July with went to California. Good news is, my other best friend is down till Tuesday and I got to hang out with her. Haven't seen that Kim monster friend since May. Man we had some fun for those few hours.
Julie you missed out, but I guess you're having your own wild party in California.
Did any of you see that amazing Sunset last night! Can you say sky on fire??
I would have to say that I enjoyed that more than I did the stadium's firworks. (Those were realy lame by the way, I'm writing a complaint ;))
And today topped it all off. I went to the singles ward that I'll be in when I get home, and I had a great time. I got to see a bunch of old faces, had some great lessons about the book of Psalm and visiting teaching, and then we all went to (I think) the Bishops house and had some great food where we all sat and talked some more. I think the better of the day was seeing old classmates: Brianna, Brian, Garrett, Logan, Matt, Lance, Taylor and a bunch of others.
I have to say I'm way excited to be done with my semester and be back home. I'm quite looking forward to it. But the one thing I'm hoping to do before it gets cold again, that I was introduced to last year, is hiking Maple Mountain. Such an amazing hike. And I've been working out so I won't be the one in the very back this time, I absolutely refuse. Heck I'll even race Logan up the mountain.......kidding...that boys a mountain goat and I'd lose shamefully.
But yeah, home is going to be a wonderful thing when I get back, and not only am I going to work, but I'm going to party like a Gator in the Bayou. Yehaaw! (Did I mention like a redneck?)
Good luck to all of you who are leavin on a mission that I didn't get to say bye to in person. You'll all do great, just don't lose focus on what's important.

Anywho,
Till the next time I remember I have a blog

SEe YaLL!

Boredom makes you do funny things

So I have about an hour before I have to get to my first class. So I figured I'd show you guys some cool stuff we've been working on in my creative writing class. It's called: De-familiarization. Where you take a subject and write somthing that makes people look at it differently.....I think..anyways we were given two subjects to try it on. Potatoes and.....you try and figure out what the last one is.
Here are my tries at them, tell me what you think.


Potato
The clump of starch sat on it's own.
Surrounded by darkness, the unkown depth daunting
Wishing for freedom from the cold endless abyss,
It continued to sit, forgotten, unthought of uncared for.




.............. (figure it out)
A thrilling happiness, a rude awakening.
Can make people drunk without intoxictaion or that burning hangover
The deepest hurt when broken and smashed
Many people wish and beg for it to come, some curse it.
Sometimes the only power that holds people together.
The greatest gift god himself can give

A new path to follow

This morning I finally had an answer among many questions as to what my future holds. For those who I haven't talked to in a long while, I have been pondering whether or not I should go on a mission. I don't know why, but about four months ago I had a notion that I should at least look into it and see what could possibly be in store for me.I've questioned, prayed, studied my scriptures, and asked advice, but have not had any kind of whisper or notion as to what I should do until this morning. As of these last couple of weeks as the new semester has started and I had trouble with my schedule and getting it fixed, the thought fell away. Because I had a few hours to relax this morning, I randomly decided I was going to look over my Patriarchal blessing for a moral boost to get me through these next few months. As I was reading through it, I had the question in mind as to what it is that I should ponder a little more so I can understand what it was the lord was saying about certain things; when I came upon a few lines that made my heart burn. I couldn't believe it. There was my answer. Those few simple lines that finally made sense. I teared up and knew that the wonderful feeling was what they say is the "burning of the bosom". And to top it all off, all the subjects in church today were about recieving answers, and stories of apostles and what they did to prepare themselves for their missions and what they do to better understand the promptings of the spirit.
I finally have my answer, and I have made the decision that I'm going to prepare for a mission. I know I have some years to go before I am able, but I now have a definate object to focus on and work towards. Yes I am in college and that's what I "should" be focusing on, but I don't know what it is that I want to do for my major and have been sitting her twiddling my thumbs about it. I'm praying by the start of next year, I'll have a definate answer.
We'll just have to wait and see what the future holds.

So today is my last day in Utah for this break. I'm a bit sad to leave the beautiful weather and my best friend Julie, but hey, I'll be back soon enough.
Who knew that being between semesters could be so stressful! Geesh!
Heck, I think I've been stressed more about going back to Idaho weather than anything else! It had better be in the 60's or I'm suing the weather man.
To all of those I didn't get to see while I was down, sorry. Hope life is good.
And you missionaries that will be leaving soon, you had better give me an address so I can write you all. I still need to track down a few addresses for those who are already gone, so if anyone has those, feel free to let me know eh?
WELL.....off to Idaho....another semester of BYUI here I come.

New friend!

I just couldn't bare to see that vase empty, I miss my Rambo so much, so I went to wal-mart after FHE today and took a good half hour deciding what fish I should get. I decided that I was being stupid and that I should just find a pretty fish to look at and get home already, so it came down between two. One a normal tailed beta, red with the end of his fins being a georgous clear white, and a crown tail, a silver red fined fish. Vanessa my roommate decided that she also wanted a fish,(I've started a trend, Charity went and got a beta a few weeks ago as well) and wanted the red clear fined, so I took the crown tail. My new fish companions name is Toshiro Hitsugaya (Toe-she-row (roll the r) Heat-sue-guy-ya).
Hopefully he'll last just as long as my Anubis and Rambo did. (Anubis came a few years before Rambo)
Good bye my Rambo! I will miss you. Have fun in fishy heaven.

*The blue fish is Ryuu (Ree-you). It means Dragon in Japanese. This is Charitys fish. I have yet to get better pictures of Vanessa's fish, and she has yet to name him. So there will be updates later so you can see why I had such a hard time deciding.

R.I.P

My beloved Rambo died today. It mad me a bit sad to have to say goodbye to my friend ,who was by my side at all times, even during long car rides from Utah to Idaho. He seemed fine this morning and last night when I fed him, but just a few minutes ago when I went to get something in my room, I noticed he was just sitting at the bottom. I went to play around with him by poking the glass, but he didn't move.*sniff...so it came that I had to flush my friend of almost three years down the toilet. Good bye my Purple and white friend! I will miss you!
Well....I guess it's time to find a new fishy companion. Wal-mart..here I come...well...actually later...after classes....

YAY!

Holy crap I'm so excited for thursday to be at work!!! Yes that sounds weird, but I'm putting my two weeks in!! I'm done! I will be doing nothing else but focusing on homework(like I should be right now...). I'm hoping to get a scholarship next year for either full or half tuition. Work has just been getting in the way of school so I came to the conclusion that if I'm going to get that scholarship, I had better be focusing on homework during those four hours on tuesday,thursday and saturday.
Plus I just hated working there. Two thumbs up!

Just an FYI

My phone screen is no loger working. Don't ask me why, I have no idea. No I haven't dropped it. So if you need to get a hold of me here's my gmail; drngfighter03@gmail.com.

The drive back to Idaho

I was talking to Julie when I took these pictures, I put the phone down don't worry. It was such a georgous sunset I had to take a picture. I was a little disapointed though, because I just missed the sun peeking through the clouds. All the same, I'm glad I got the pictures I did. You'll have to look at them from the bottom up, sorry I have no idea what I'm doing with this blog.

Yep

So I've been talking to some friends in the BYU-I ROTC, and it sounds like something I would love to do. It's training for the military without having to join the military, in a way that is. You can only train to a certain level, but if you want to continue past that, you have to enlist. So I can do all the military training in hand to hand combat, shooting, field call, and all sorts of other things that I've dreamed of, without having to enlist in the military and leave my family in later years. I will definatly be considering it for next semester and I'm way excited. Best part, I pay for almost nothing.

grrr

I've decided that this blogging thing is just plain confusing. I give up.
