Mistakes

K so most of you have heard the story about how I managed to bust my phone at lunch one day. But that is only the start of some of the dumb mistakes I have made recently.

1. The phone- K quick recap. I'm standing behind Sean while he is eating and I'm talking to somebody while tossing my phone up and down like I always do. I got a little too distracted and managed to miss my phone once. Went for the saving grab as it plummeted straight at the ground. I was able to knock it but not grab it. Unfortunately, I some how knocked it right into Sean's pudding. He was glad that it took off all of his whipped cream, but my poor little phone didn't even manage to make it to my next class before dying. :'(

2. The headphone- So this one happened today and is eerily similar to the other one. I was standing in my kitchen helping prepare dinner by making the gravy. I was rocking out to a few of the new songs that I obtained over the weekend when my mom said something to me. I couldn't hear her so I plucked out my headphone and asked what. Plop! My headphone landed right in the gravy and I just started laughing because it reminded me of Experience #1. I wiped it off and checked to see if it worked... Nope. Now I will just have to live with music in one ear for a while.

3. The lunch- I was sick for the first 4 days of last week (counting Sunday). I came back to school on Thursday and Sam said he was going to go pick up some grub. Of course, he told me what he was going to get but it didn't seem to click in my mind that I might not feel great after eating it. Thats why I ate cookies and milk while still feeling a little sick and it might have affected my performance in my game that night. :0

4. Dreams- So this wasn't technically a mistake but they were definitely weird. This one would take way too long to explain so if you want more info just ask and I'm sure I can come up with a story that will blow your socks off.

5. Taken offense- I know this may sound absurd, but I consider this a mistake on my part. I believe that he shouldn't have said anything, but I agree with Elder Bednar when he talked about how we choose whether or not to take offense at things people say. I tend to make the wrong decision a lot, but this one stuck out in my mind. I feel like I need to protect the (somewhat) innocent still though so I shall not reveal his name, but it isn't any of you that read my blog at least somewhat regularly.

Ok so the only ones that were really decent were 1-3 and 3 was only ok. But you have to admit that #2 was pretty funny.

Replacement

So I have another post all prepared, but it had a lot of angry thoughts in it so I'm not going to post it (for the moment at least) in order to protect the innocent. Today was a good day besides what I just talked about. I scored in my soccer game, but it was amazingly lucky. I was able to get some stuff done I needed to, but I have still allowed this one thing get to my head. It seriously ruined my day. It would've been a good day if this hadn't happened, and now people are suggesting the extremes (which if things don't get better I might actually resort to) that could make things turn out really bad. If some people would think about what they do or care enough about what other people are going to feel about it, then none of this would've happened. Today would've been a wonderful day if it wasn't for this, but I've allowed this thing to get to my head and it's affecting the way that I act around and treat other people. Something must be done about my problem soon or else bad things may take place.

Sorry I can't really tell any of you what my problem is because it is extremely personal and something that none of you would really be able to understand right now. I truly am sorry and you would understand why I felt the way I do if you saw the other post, but I have to do my best to protect the innocent.

Short Term Goals

So I have come up with a few of short term goals recently. Here they are:

1. Make Jr. Class Vice Pres.- Most of you know that I ran in jr. high and was pretty sure I was going to make SBO Vice Pres. and it hit me pretty hard when I didn't so I really need to win this time.

2. Get back on to Josh's normal blog check list- I am off this yet Morganne and Ali (who haven't posted for longer than me) are still on there. For some reason that doesn't make sense to me.

3. Get at least a 3 on the AP Euro Test- I don't care about anything higher. To tell you the truth, with as little I have worked for that class I probably don't deserve a 3 even.

4. Jump in to the back of a moving truck w/o them noticing- Matt we shall succeed in this and our garbage can plan. (The problem is, how do we get back from where ever they take us?)

5. Kick some major soccer butt- I plan to nail at least one goal this season and hopefully lots more than that.

6. A major expansion of my iTunes library- so this probably means taking songs from Matt, Tanner, Josh, Sam, and anyone else willing to help me in my quest.

7. Figure out what happens in the next part of my story- this one is pretty self-explanatory.

Well those are the only ones I've thought of so far and, as I told you all yesterday, I haven't been getting very much sleep lately so I better head to bed.

Another Post! (and a better story)

I know most of you probably haven't read my last few posts. But I think that I need to keep this going for now. School, drama, and what not has been taking up my time, but the other day in English I started a story that I think I would like to keep going.

Greg stumbled out of his tent as the morning sun peeked out from behind the trees. He quickly scoped the area around him to make sure that nothing had disturbed camp and took the final shift of keeping guard. He slowly scanned the trees trying to sense any sign of danger. After seeing nothing he leaned back and slowly drifted into oblivion...

He was on the ship, the Ondre, which was pulling slowly out of San Francisco Bay. He looked back and saw his wife standing on the dock, crying, and waving her white handkerchief. He knew he was going to be gone for a while, but promised he would be back as soon as he could. The ship departed and he turned his back on his home, his wife, and his soon-to-be son. He was on his way to the coast of India where he was sent by his company to set up a branch... Now he was looking out over the rail with stomach wrenching and his hands gripping the bar as the ship fought against a storm. Next thing he knew the siren went off and the crew was yelling abandon ship. The passengers surged to the life boats and Greg was one of the last people to get in before the ship went under the water. He rowed with the others until they finally found a small piece of land where they landed and made camp...

An eerie screeching noise woke him up from his dream. He looked around him. He was still on the same island that he his lifeboat had come across two years ago. He still had many of the passengers with him, but a few were gone. Most of it happened that first night on the island when they were attacked...

Busy, Busy, Busy

K so my life has been extremely busy lately. I got a huge dose of high school drama the last week or so and it came just in time to be paired with school elections. (I'm running for Jr. Vice President) So I've been extremely busy and the blog just kept moving down on my list of priorities. I've had a little bit of time, but I've just used that to take naps because with all the happenings in my life I've been averaging about 4 1/2 to 5 hours of sleep each night. Through it all though I believe I have gotten through with nearly minimal complaining and venting though. I thought I was doing good until a friend (not to be named) kinda got mad at me today and we had a heated exchange of words (ok I guess they were text messages) that ended up in both of us leaving without the satisfaction that we were looking for. The good news is though that I made primary elections on Friday, and I hope to be finding more sleep soon.

Posting

So I haven't been posting very much lately because of many of the happenings in my life. So I need to get back to doing it so I will start again today.

10 Years Ago

Sorry about the lack of posts I have been swamped lately. Anyway, Kelsey tagged me with so here it goes.

10 years ago I was 5 years old going to first grade. I had Mrs. She was a very angry old lady and I got her the last year that she taught. We had a student teacher the 2nd half of the year. I hated doing these little eskimo diagram things we did back then.

What would I do if I were suddenly made a billionare?

Well I have already written about this today. I would start out by buying an extremely nice car, like a Lambourghini Revolutón. Then I would by a ginormous house with a slide that I could go down from my room to my kitchen. Once in my kitchen I would have a tongue scanner that would tell what the perfect meal choice would be for the day. My maid would then fix it for me and I would be able to party with all of my celebrity friends in the pool and jacuzzi sitting out back.

*5 places I have lived*

1. Farmington, Utah
2. I guess my cabin at Bear Lake
3. Farmington, Utah

New Experiences

New experiences are... interesting. Some of them are exciting to have and some of them you feel like you can live without. I have experienced both in an extremely short amount of time. So here are some of my experiences.

1. High school drama- Does anybody want it? No. Does almost everyone end up involved in it? Yes. I just had a big dosage of it and it was more drama than I need for the rest of my life.
2. ............- This is a very important one and there are very few people that will understand what this one is. It was a great experience and one I would like to be able to have again and again.
3. Teamless- You all know that I love playing soccer. I have just found myself teamless (most likely) for the spring season. 8 of the 11 players on my team that go to Davis made the high school team so that makes things tough on me... maybe I should have tried out after all.
4. Stuffed puffin shopping- Those things are hard to find! ;)
5. Codenames- This isn't exactly a new experience, but it is the first time I have experienced it to this degree. Marmolet, falcon, swan, goose, etc. (Idk whats with the bird theme)

There are more but I am too lazy to put them down so I hope you enjoyed reading about these.
