thinking about things

When you learn from your past you better prepare for success in your future.
A comic from Bill Watterson illustrates this thought. But of course I can't find the comic online. It's from his 1992 editions thought and in my english text book.

posting for the sake of posting

i feel like i need to stay current on my blog. im doing better at writing in my journal about the atonement and such but right now its too dark to write by hand. Satan is so tough! he does things to make me feel like doing bad things are ok when i know they arent. hes such a poop. i saw my friends today: bj casie and iris. we went to chipotle and had a great time just chatting about life and the people in it. it was fun. then i went shopping with edison to our favorite places: target, barns&noble, ulta, starbucks, yummm. it was a good evening with my sister. i love my family.

ive officially decided im serving a mission. the study abroad is out. im going to work during spring/summer so i can help pay for mission stuff. im sooooo tired and will sleep now. thanksgiving is tomorrow!

saturday saturday

I'm at the Honda dealership and as I'm sitting here, waiting to get my wheels rotated and oil changed, I've stumbed upon a few interesting facts of my current life.
1) my workouts need to be a million times more intense if i want to get back into shape
2) clothes cost way too much money
3) i have possibly ruined my chances of passing my thursday night english class. i turned both of my essays into a program called digital drop box instead of turn it in. if my professor doesnt accept my papers then ill have to withdraw from the class and take it again next semester. i do NOT want to do that but if i have to then i have to. i retake too many classes in college. econ: 2x so far. blehh

As to other developments in my life I've planned out a few options for the next 3 years. If I do according to my plan I'll leave for a mission mid Fall or the beginning of Winter term. Till then I'll go home and work for the spring and do a study abroad in England for the summer. It looks really cool and interesting and definitely worth my time and money. And let me tell you a trip like this one requires a few bucks... I plan on doing more research so that when I talk to my family about it come Thanksgiving (2 more weeks!) I can give them accurate information. I don't know when else I'll be able to go on something like this. The summer is the only time I have to actually go exploring with a group of people. By the time I get back from my mission I could get married and by then I'll have less money and time than I do now! Growing up is expensive.

Last night the girls and I went to the dollar theater, a movie fanatic/college student's saving grace, and finally saw Inception! It was amazing!!! I need to see it a few more times to fully be blown away. I was pooped by the time it started at 10:30 and it was 1:00 when we got home so all that I did see wasn't nearly as mind blowing as watching amazing entertainment and Joseph Gordon Levitt. He's so attractive.
