This past weekend was fantastic. :) I had a lot of good times with Chris and my family. We watched General Conference, which I always enjoy tremendously. Had some good foodtimes. Played with sidewalk chalk. Played Apples to Apples. Had a barbecue. Dad played with his ridiculously amazing camera (of which I am insanely jealous)... which means, ( Read more... )

I often feel like so many demands are being placed on my time.

I am feeling very optimistic right now.

The semester is half over!! I can hardly believe it.

Thanksgiving is coming... I am really looking forward to this vacation. It's November 21-24... and I may stay through the 25th. That's right. I'm living for something that's a full month out ( Read more... )

So... I almost decided to just stay home and sleep this evening, but I decided to go ahead and go to our ward's opening social. It was really awkward... but I actually met someone that I had a lot in common with. :) So that was neat ( Read more... )

Stingray kills 'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin. Honesly? I laughed when Jess walked into the kitchen last night (as I was on the phone with Lisa) to tell me that it was a stingray barb that was the end of the fool. But as predicted, I am quite sad now. :( I'll miss him ( Read more... )

So now I'm all moved in... and fairly settled. It's pretty interesting. My roommates seem decent enough. My biggest complaint is that as far as I can tell, there is no heating. I'm trying to figure out if there is just no heating at night... or if the air conditioning is actually on... It's very cold. But I brought more blankets. D ( Read more... )

So, I went up to Evanston, Wyoming with my dad today. I enjoyed the drive. :) He even let me listen to my music which was pretty cool. And we talked, which was also nice ( Read more... )

I've had more dreams in the last month than I'd had in the entire year prior. It's so odd. Last night's dream involved a lot of different things, and it's kinda sketchy, but here's some of it ( Read more... )

Well, I was right about my grades prediction--five A's, one A-, and one B. However, I got the A- in a class other than I'd anticipated (i.e. Photo instead of Humanities). I'm fine with that, though. I'm the first to recognize that half of my prints were poor quality (there was quite a bit of dust on the negatives ( Read more... )

So I went to Institute this evening with Rico, Joe, Chrissy, and Mike. Wow. Long time no see. Anyhow, I also saw James (H! as recently mentioned). It was awesome. I also met another Brandon. Or Braden. ;_; I always get those two names mixed up. And there are so many of them, I could cry. I was so glad I went. It was really moving. Anyhow, that was ( Read more... )

James H. from Bro. Newman's seminary class last year just called me. :) Apparently he just got his mission call (to Portland, Oregon I believe). He was pretty psyched. I was surprised to hear from him, considering I've only seen him once since the end of last school year and he's never called me before... Anyhow, he's leaving May 31st, and he ( Read more... )
