Two In One

(I didn't post last week because most of Brady's letter was answering silly little questions from my family. A lot of my letters seem to be like that so you get the dissected version. ~Brady's sister Heather)

Letter 1
. . . Yesterday all of the companionship's got cell phones and I am in charge of ours. That's right, I have a cell phone. Next week is transfers. I'd like to go somewhere new but I like chinle too. i don't know what will happen . . .

Letter 2
Things have been great. I am anticipating a phone call from the Zone Leaders about transfers. I don't know if I will be or not but wither way I am excited. I have now been out 9 weeks and it has been crazy and cool.
this week I split my time between Chinle and Flagstaff. It was neat and I really enjoyed flagstaff. That's the real big news from me this week.

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 ...
