Fantastical Daze

So I'm really excited for a few reasons:

     1) I'm having a Black and White PARTY on FRIDAY NIGHT (and I made sick-nasty AWESOME flyers :D)

     2) I'm adding Philosophy and English as minors!

     3) Intramural basketball season starts in two days!

     4) I'm LOVING MY CLASSES 

     5) I'm LOVING MY ROOMIESSS

     6) I love college :)

     7) Elder Anderson spoke today at devotional, and it was fantastic

     8) Life is hard but its way enjoyable.

Anyway yeah, good things are happening. I wanted to also share a bit of my ENGL 220 class with everyone (we're writing memoir pieces... so I'm trying to make my dull life seem interesting) and here is a short, complete bit that I'm actually pretty proud of... it's one of my only memories of childhood that are complete. Enjoy:

I was so excited to have a new chessboard! But concern was terribly concerned about three moves into the fifth game I’ve ever played. It was against my dad, I knew I couldn’t win, and yet I was bound and determined to try... one day, with practice, one day I’ll get the best of him.
Feeling excited for the journey between beginning and my unavoidable defeat, I pushed away the yearning of a few too many beverages from dinner to be released.
Five moves later. Complete concentration.
Five more moves later... oh crap!
“Uhm dad, I’ve gotta go to the bathroom.” I barely make it down the hall, and into the bathroom when while I’m pulling down my pants I pee all over myself. Crap. Crap. Crap. Not only am I losing this chess game, but there is no reason for me to sneak upstairs to change my pants and return to it!
A couple of minutes later my dad calls to me “Is everything okay?”
“Actually... I wet my pants...”

... and this is what I do with my life... oh yeah, and I study and stuff too... okay, I study A LOT, but whaterrr, I love it! :P

God is great, life is good and people are crazy!

p.s. only 321 days until I can start my mission papers!!!

Slowing Down

So it's a Saturday afternoon, and I'm taking the day kind of slow, especially since I was out so late last night. But right now is a good time to calm it down, prioritize and put things into perspective. They say that what matters most to you is reflected in how you spend your time. So after watching this I'd invite everyone to think about how they've been spending their time, and actually experiencing life.

Here's some awesome quotes :D

"If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most."
     - President Deiter F. Uctdorf  "Of Things That Matter Most" Oct. 2010 General Conference

"Everybody dies, but not everybody lives."
     - Nicki Minaj "Moment 4 Life"

t-shirts and love

So I slept in... again this morning. And decided that I should make a t-shirt, because I love those tees with awesome sayings on them and they're like 20 bones a piece, so making them on some white tees makes so much more sense right?? sooooo I've had some songs stuck in my head: Moment For Life--> Nicki Minaj
                Remember the Name --> Fort Minor
               If I Was You --> Far East Movement
               Too Much Time On My Hands --> Styx (WHO I GET TO SEE IN CONCERT IN A COUPLE WEEKS!!!!!!!)

So I'm makin 2 shirts this weekend and the one I'm doin today says: 10% LUCK, 20% SKILL, 15% concentrated power of WILL, 5% PLEASURE, 50% PAIN on the front. and on the back its gonna have my name at the top and underneath say 100% Reason to remember the name

I'm excited, pictures will come soon.

so yeah, that and some homework and some chill time with my kray kray roomie Laura are on the schedule for today, I"m so so so so soooo excited for fast and testimony meeting tomorrow! :D and also I need to keep a journal for my New Testament class, so I figured it'd be a cool idea to keep it on here and share my experiences with that class because I just KNOW its gonna rock the WORLD!!!... well at least mine.

God is great, life is good and people are crazy!
