I Don't Wanna Be Thankful!!!!!! (Day: Night)

So Thanksgiving Break came and went, and it was probably the best thing to happen this semester. Being home for a whole week plus 2 weekends was perfect. I went to back to Lone Peak for Lunch one day and for Radio the day after, I hung out with Shiloe and Jayce, saw relatives, hung out with my mom....a lot, hung out with my dad and Paula....a lot, played the Wii (which I hear hasn't been touched since I left it....which I think sucks but whatever), saw Daphne, Miles, Oliver, Will (7), and Dotty...a lot, plus other stuff. The only thing I missed out on was seeing Juliet Penelope LeSueur (Trixie or J. Penny-as I want to call her now). Suzy had her while I was driving home to Idaho. I was in Logan when I heard the news and wanted to turn around so badly but couldn't because my dad wanted me to go home and get good grades. But thanksgiving was fun, had a big turkey dinner where everyone was there plus some others. We went and saw Enchanted. We celebrated Oliver's First Birthday. Cory and Mary had an Open House for their house which was fun and we played the Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 which was fun. So life was good. I actually felt like I got time out of hanging out in Utah with this Break and it was well worth it. Now all I have to do is get done with the semester with good grades and then I can be home and life will be even better.

The process to being a Missionary (Day: Something)

Ok well there isn't really been much happening around here in Idaho. The only stuff I have been doing is going to class, trying hard to get good grades, hanging out with friends, going to Utah for the weekend....every other weekend, and then whatever else comes my way. The thing that is sucking right now is I am running low on money and still have to pay for more school. I blame being low on the ticket I got from the stupid accident, which was $75 with a $5 or $6 charge because I was using my card and doing it over the phone, and then I have gone shopping for some clothes a couple of times, and one time going through Wal Mart I picked up Transformers. So yeah....that's about it. Other than that the only other cool thing is that I ran into a friend of mine that I haven't seen since I was 3....and living in Merced, CA. And for anyone that has no clue where Merced is....it's near Family Camp. And if you don't know where Family Camp is, Merced and Family Camp are near Fresno. But yeah her name is Brittany De Lora and I found her through Facebook.com (which one of my friends talked me into and now I am pretty addicted to it which sucks) We have been hanging out and I took her to Utah with me with one of her friends so they could hang out with their siblings down there going to school. But it was awesome seeing her again for the first time in 15 years and the cooler thing was she remembered me when I was talking to her at first on Facebook.com so...everything is going well....I guess. Anyways the only thing that might be interesting that I have been doing is working on my Mormon mission papers (I say Mormon just in case anyone runs through and has no idea what I am talking about....because I think you can run through blogs randomly and just check them out and everything) so I did my dental work in Utah one weekend. It was alright but those fircken metal hooks which I guess they use to get rid of all the plaque and everything suck. I was sitting there just thinking "MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT STOP PLEASE!!!!!" So yeah but it was alright in the end. They got that like Cherry tasting goop and put it on that rubber spinner thing and started massaging my teeth with it and that felt good. Then today I went to go get my medical stuff done. Did the TB Test, Urine Sample (which was odd...they had step by step instructions of how you were supposed to fill this cup up and everything), and they did a Blood Sample. From that I discovered some stuff. Either I was never meant to give blood or I was stupid to watch the girl move and wiggle the needle around as she was doing the TB test and everything. I think I watched her put it in too but now I can't remember. But anyways I watched her do the TB test which she had the needle in there for a good long while compared to the last time I had it done in which they just took a little pricker thing and stabbed my arm and that was it. This one was like a fricken shot that was a huge needle that was probably like 1/4 or 1/3 of an inch big and yeah. Anyways this time was way different and hurt more than the last time I had that done. Then the blood sample thing...I knew if I watched her I would have freaked and crapped my pants and everything so I brought my iPod to distract me so I put Transformers on (which I picked up from home because people had gotten it...so now I have it twice) and then I put my hoodie up so I would be blocked from looking at it at all. This hurt a little too but I didn't flip out and everything like I used to with shots and so life was good....until she got done. She got done with everything and my stomach felt all weird and I just felt sick and then when I got up and sat down in a different chair....I started breaking out in a cold sweat and everything. The girl came in and looked at me and she looked really worried, I have no clue if I was just pale white other than I was sweating and I felt sick. She looked at me and asked me "Do you wanna lie down somewhere!?" Which I was like "If there is a place I can lay down then yes!!!" She got me a room and then I layed down and got all better and then she walked in and handed me a paper and said I was done and I could go to the check out. So everything is basically done for me on my papers for my Mormon mission. All I gotta do is go to a medical appointment at the same place on Monday where they will check the TB and hopefully just give me a couple of shots and check like my eye sight and all this other stuff and then call it a day and then I can get my Stake President Interview before I run off to Utah for Thanksgiving break (which is a week long and two weekends too) and then with some luck I can get my call sometime around the Beginning of Decemeber and everything which would be cool.

So that is life for me right now. Halloween was awesome. I went to a School Set Up Dance and Carnival and it was great......AND THERE WERE MANY HOT GIRLS AT THE DANCE...I got names and basic info but no numbers which I am bummed about now that I think about it and look back on it and everything. Then I had a little weird moment on like Wednesday or Thursday where I lost my truck for a second. I couldn't find it in the dorm parking lot and I thought someone took my keys while I was sleeping and moved it or maybe something wasw going on for this weekend (because Preference is tomorrow and everything) and so I was a little nervous but didn't totally freak out. Well I was like...I am gonna go check the parking around the Medical Center and the Girl's Dorms because I remember last being in that area with the car the night before. Well it was there....I thought I drove it back to our dorm Parking but I guess not and it was just left there all night. Which I mean I could park there without getting in trouble and stuff but still. I wonder if you can get Alzheimer's at the age of 18....and if you can...I blame Mom and Grandma for that problem (I'm joking....but seriously). Anyways that is it. So now I am gonna go hang out for a little while longer with people and then go to bed later. I figure the next time I write in here will be about my brother Darin and his wife Suzy's baby girl being born and I figure sometime around there (if I get everything finished by next week) I'll also get my call. So my next post should be about my call, my new niece, and my thanksgiving break....everyone wish me luck on getting my call and getting good grades for this semester and everything.

And heads up for anyone reading this that is still in High School or something.......COLLEGE REALLY IS DIFFERENT AND HARDER. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE STUDY GROUPS AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING OR ELSE IT IS NO FUN. This is kind of the situation I am in but it isn't all that bad because I still have 4 to 5 weeks left of school to make everything work.....BUT STILL.....HEED MY WARNING OR ELSE YOU'LL REGRET IT IN THE END!!!!!!!!

So again, and seriously, wish me luck on everything up here!!!!!!!!!!!
