A New Meaning To "Preperation Day"

Well, today was a crazy day. As previously said, i am leaving on my mission earlier than i planned so things really had to be put into action. My mom woke me up this morning and took me shopping. Little did i know that by 3:00 we would have spent almost $500 and we haven't even gotten to the suits, shoes, and luggage, which are the biggies. At work to day on my lunch break, the manager and i got Chinese food from a local restaurant. Everyone know that the best part of the is the fortune inside the fortune cookie. It almost scared me when i read it because it said "Your path may be difficult but will be rewarding." I know, it's freaked me out because i knew it was true. The mission will be hard but worth it because then my wife will be more beautiful. I almost believed in fortune cookies for a second until my manager opened his and it said, "You will achieve perfection." Huh, i guess that i better hope that my outcome will be true at least.

I have heard the harder you work and the more faithful that you serve that your spouse will be that much better. That is awesome. I think that it is so true that it will be rough but I promise you that it will be rewarding. Good Luck bro.....Or should I say Elder Bro.

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. 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 ...
