MONKEYS!!!!

Haha....oh my gosh. The most funniest thing just happened here in the dorm! So me and my roommate Sunny (the oriental one...) were laying on our beds just laughing at each other (we do that alot) and I looked at my legs and said "I need to shave. I'm hairy like a monkey" I asked her if she knew what a monkey was (just to see if she had related the english to chinese) and she said yes...but still had a confused look on her face. So what do I do? Of course...the obvious! Haha. I get up on my bed and act like a monkey...scratching my armpits and all! Haha. I even made the sound effects. I forgot, though, that our bedroom door as well as the apartment door were open...and so were 202's. So Tycia was in the doorway on their couch and looked over right as I was doing this. OH MAN! She just started laughing...and crying b/c she was laughing so hard! Haha. Then of course everyone else came out to see what the noise was about and I'd already collapsed on my bed embarrassed...haha, jk I never really get embarrassed here, but more out of laughing so hard. Haha. Anyways, just thought I'd share that with ya guys!

Drawings, News, and More!

Hey! So the past week or so I've been teaching myself how to draw faces. As some of you know, I am an artist...and I have quite a few drawings, but I just don't like to sound like I'm bragging so that's probably why most of you guys don't know that I'm an artist. Anyways, when I get home on Tuesday or Wednesday I'll post the two pics that I've drawn of myself as well as one for Cassie's mom of her when she was around the same age of me when I drew myself. I just don't have a scanner or anything while I'm here at college.

More amazing news! Today was pay day at Skyline...the pharmacy I work at. I went in to pick up my check so i have gas money to get home and Dave, the pharmacist, told me that because I turned in my license a little while ago I get a raise! It was weird b/c I'm so used to Old Grist Mill where a raise was like a max of 25 cents...but Dave said he'd try to get me at least a few more DOLLARS!!!!! IT's crazy how different a professional setting is from a fast food setting.

I'm doing okay down here in Ephraim...just a lot of stress I guess with finals and friends and everything like that. Today I also had to clean the bathroom. They're doing a 'serious' cleaning check on Monday so I went and bought some heavy duty shower cleaner as well as a magic eraser. Let me tell you...those erasers are pure magic! Haha. But I think I inhaled too much of the cleaner cuz people've told me I'm a little loopy and I have a migraine now. Even more reason for me to keep laying here in bed! Haha. l

Anyways, so ya I'm coming home for Thanksgiving so if anyone wants to hang out or anything give me a text or something k? I'd love to hang out with anyone!!! Haha.

Mile Swim

Oh my holy crap! Never in my mind did I ever think that I could possibly swim a half mile...let alone a mile...36 laps (a lap is down and back)!! I've been stressing a lot about the mile that I was scheduled to swim today. For the half mile I got a little over a half hour(the time limit) so I was really nervous b/c if we went over the time for the mile (which was one hour)then we would get docked 5 points per minute. Ya...made me really nervous. Especially since my shoulder has been acting up and aching pretty bad. I started swimming the mile this morning and by about halfway through I could feel my body start to give out. I honestly started praying right there as I swam that I'd be able to just finish it. Well, I finished it, and my time was 55:37!!!!! I was only about a minute slower than the rest of the boys so that made it even better! So I got full points, as well as knowing that I am in great physical shape! I love swimming:)

Great Weekend!

So this last weekend I came home and was able to spend time with one of my best friends Cassie. We had a blast! No joke. I especially liked hanging with her little brother Colton, but me and Cassie still had fun. Sunday we were crazy so I bought (yes...I know...on Sunday!) some bubble gum so we could take pics. Anyways, here are some of the cute and crazy ones.

Guardian Angel

Since my blog is now private and the only people on here are the ones who I would share this with, I'll share it. This weekend as I was driving home I had the scariest, but most wonderful experience I have ever had! I was on the freeway on cruise control going about 80 mph (don't tell my mom! Haha. Just kidding). As I was passing this semi truck I got this deep sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that something bad was going to happen! I've never had that feeling so strongly before. Right then my cruise control went crazy. It was like I was going up a hill (where it zooms forward) but I was on completely flat ground. It got up to about 85 miles per hour and then it went back to normal. I hadn't touched the gas pedal at all! Right then I looked back in the rear view mirror and what I thought happened was the semi truck swerved enough into my lane that it would've knocked me off of the side of the road, and where I was going very fast it would've rolled me and possibly killed me. There really are people watching out for us...I know that there was someone was watching out for me. I have an idea of who it is, but I'll never know who saved me last night.

I don't know what went on, but all I do know is that last night was not my time to go...I still have work to do on this earth I guess. It just makes me think about a lot of things...especially about my mission on earth. I don't know what it is, what all I have to do, or anything like that. All I know is that there is more to do.
