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.
