Nerves of Not-Quite-Steel

So this past weekend has been a crazy one. I had a lot of family visiting over the weekend for various reasons. On Sunday i had to talk in my homeward and this next week i have to speak in my other ward. Anywho, because this was my "farewell" talk, i had a barbecue after where family and friends came to eat and talk. It was great and i got to spend time with everyone including my cute little nephews. (pictured above).

The addresses for the MTC and my mission will be posted soon so don't anyone worry. Also if you want to know more, please e-mail me, you know my address. As of now i am spending time out of town with my big sis and am having the time of my life. Well, maybe not my life, but it sure is fun.

When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
