So I can understand that I've been neglecting posting something lately. I just want to say that I am sorry, and that it is not because nothing has been going on, but that I have just either been too busy or forgetful.
    But first of all, school. This is actually becoming more and more difficult, the more time goes by. I know it's only the beginning of the fourth week of school and all, but I mean... There is just so much actually stressing me out at this point in time. It's ridiculous. So far, all of my classes are going pretty decent. EXCEPT for U.S. Government. Let's just say that Mr. Templeton is my new least-favorite teacher EVER. Urghlblurhgl. I didn't do too hot on his first test that he gave us. Missed 16 points out of 66, which gave me a "D" on the test. It would help me a lot if he would actually teach the class instead of just giving us page after page of notes and making us read out of the book. I don't learn anything that way, that's for sure. And who on earth gives a test based on the upcoming election? We have no idea what's going to happen in this election, give us a break!
    Now, the rest of school is going alright. Weights is killing me, personally. Pushing myself to lift and move weights that often times weigh more than I do, myself, is really difficult sometimes. And as a result of being stubborn and determined, I often put more weights on than I know I can handle, and suffer for it greatly afterwards. Honestly, I didn't know my pectoral muscles could actually hurt this bad. It's ridiculous! All the muscles that you didn't know could hurt so bad, do. And even then, your teacher isn't satisfied with you. It gets to be pretty... well... aggravating. I'm pretty sure I'm donig my best, so if you aren't satisfied, back off. Holy cow.
    And then there is Myth and Symbol. Oh boy. Mr. Gibson is my favorite person ever. Except not really. He didn't even teach J-Writ last year, so I was, and still am, rather reluctant to be taking him this year, because I feel like I am not going to be learning anything in his class. Anyways, in Myth and Symbol we are watching The Matix, and I keep giggling all the way though it because I still find it so cheesy and hilarious. It's pretty bad.
    And band, on the other hand... well let's just say that I need to learn how to keep my mouth shut sometimes. Everytime Jordan (our drum major) goes "one, two, three, four!" to start the song, my brain always responds with "Woohoo", just like the song Black Horse and the Cherry Tree (or whatever it's called, you know what I'm talking about). And we constantly have to stand up or sit down during class, just trying to see who actually knows the music. One of my fellow band members did not like standing up, (she sits right next to me, by the way), and therefore said "I am not a sheep!" in referring to the fact that she doesn't like being a follower. We then proceeded to argue about whether or not it would be appropriate to yell "I am not a sheep!" "Let my people go!" in the middle of class. We came to the conclusion, eventually, that it would not be appropriate, but instead be mildly blasphemous to the church and religion. So we refrained there.
    Work on the other hand... not going to lie to you, Angie terrifies me. If you worked with her, you would be able to understand, hopefully. She's just this tiny, angry, hormone packed person. She gets mad at everything and anything. And she likes to yell and get mad at you for no reason whatsoever, and it scares me! She's what, five feet... maybe 3 inches tall? And she scares me. I do find it kind of funny as to how someone as small as her scares me, when I work with all these guys who are over six feet tall. But they're my friends, so no fright there. Ha.
    Other than Angie, work is going wonderfully. Lesley cut down my hours to just a few a week now, because she thought it would be best to reduce my hours and let me relax a bit instead of being so stressed out and overrun due to the fact that I have seminary, school, and work, as well as homework and chores to do. How thoughtful of her. Work is so much fun though! We get everything done (okay, most of the time with a lot of complaints), and make challenges out of the smallest things, like sheetouts or boxes or landing. It's great. I really do enjoy doing landing and counter, though. They're my two favorite jobs.
    The one thing that confuses me like none other about my life right now is my friends. I do not understand why someone, who means so much to you, and who was pretty much your first real friend, would just up and start ignoring you and ditching you for other people. I mean, I know that people move on, but a little more warning would have been wonderful, instead of just quitting the friendship cold turkey. But I do, fortunately, have several other marvelous people in my life, who are willing to stay my friend. Admittedly, all but three of them are male. What can I say? Men are so much easier to get along with then women. Women are silly, stupid people and I cannot stand to be around them for very long. Don't get me wrong, I do have a lot of fun with my female friends, but the philosophy on fighting is all wrong. When guys get mad at each other, they beat each other up and are friends again. When girls get mad at each other, they fight about it, ignore each other for two months, pretend they're friends again, but then hold a grudge for two, three, four years. I think that that is really ridiculously stupid.
    Working on the Neon with Dad on Saturday was really fun, and it reminded me as to why I really wanted to go to WDT in the first place. I really enjoy working on cars, and I think it would be a good idea for me to pursue that. I had wanted to go down to USU, but then I realized that if I stay here, I have a solid plan, and could easily get a job, I think. But if I go down to USU or anyplace else, I have no idea what I would do when I get there! I'd just be lazing around, doing nothing because I have no better purpose in my life! I have no clue what is in it for me if I do go down there. No clue at all.
    I think that we all should just take a step back and take a look at our lives. I know I need to do that. But I'm just saying that if we actually look at what is going on in our lives and what is happening constantly for all of us, we would be able to find all the problems that we need to change. I know that it is certainly helping me. I have had a lot of eye openers lately, and I realize that I need to change my attitude and my actions towards a lot of people and things, including myself. I just need to figure out a solid plan for fixing everything that is going on in my life, and I believe that after that happens, that I will be able to destress and relax a little more, simply because I am more at peace with myself. Yes, I sound like a hippie, but maybe they've got something right. Haha.
     In all reality, I really enjoy being around people. Like... a lot. I feel happy and overjoyed when I can make someone else's day just by being around and happy and smiling all the time. However, on days like this, when you have no idea why everything seems to be dumping on you all at once, and you are really tired despite getting a full night's sleep, you begin to question "why". In my defence, I have no clue why, I was just stating a fact.
    I do miss my wonderful seesters, who live so very, very far away from me. It is really quite sad sometimes, how I cannot just turn to them, or make cookies with them, or things like that. I know I complain all the time about women, but you just can't do things like shopping or baking with a house full of boys. They're more intent on eating the food rather than helping you make it. Don't look at me, I usually have an appetite to compete with an elephant, so I'm really not any better than they are.
    It is starting to get colder out. I am sitting in my classes, wearing a hoodie (it's actually the Winnie-The-Pooh hoodie that Emily gave me), and I am still freezing. Yeesh. I feel like it may actually be a cold winter this year, which I am perfectly okay with because I really love my sweaters and fuzzy blankets. Slippers all the way!
    This is it for now... Sorry for taking up so much of your time with my ramblings... Wait.. Nope. I'm not sorry, because you could have stopped reading at any time. Haha! I love you all, and can't wait to talk to you. Smile, it's good for you. Love, Me.
