Crazy Week

WOW!!!! I leave in 2 days. This is crazy. This past couple of weeks has been crazy. Since returning from my sisters house, it has been a week and a half of constant preparing for the mission. It is a lot harder than i thought that it would be. You have to go through and label everything and make sure you have everything six times so that you know nothing is missing, then you have to go to the store and buy all of the things that you are missing and from there you have to worry about all of the last minute little things. WHEW. Try saying that all in one breath.
Well from here on out, my sister heather will be taking over my blog because as a missionary i have extremely limited access to computers and cannot blog. I hope that she doesn't mess it up too bad. Just kidding, Heather. She will do a great job and will be posting most all of the letters and pictures that i send her. Wish me luck.

I do not think that Heather will mess up your blog too much. Her blog is too nice for that. I know that the past few weeks have been crazy but i promise you that mission will be crazy too. You will do great and it will be a wonderful experience for you and those you know.

Good luck with your mission. As you're walking around and worrying about all of the heat just remember that the winter months will be awesome and you will get to enjoy the area and the people. You'll probably come home a Diamondbacks and Suns fan, but I won't hold that against you as the Jazz beat the suns and the Rockies beat the Diamondbacks :)

#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 ...
