Send Me On My Way

That's the song I'm listening to, it doesn't really have any significance. But at the same time, maybe it does. At least in those words.

Next week, I'm going to Hawaii for a week, and it's the week before finals. Honestly, I'm a bit worried, and I'm hoping I'll be able to pull it off. I think I can if I focus really hard. I don't feel as much pressure as I did when I was trying to graduate, but it still is pressure.

Hopefully soon I'll be able to get my mission papers in, as well. And send me on my way there. Every week, I go to my mission prep class, and Brother Smith gives us scenarios that just make me grin. I'm so excited to go . . .

In other news, band tour was excellent! I was glad for all the new friends I made. Right now, I'm feeling quite tired, and I'm not sure how I'm gonna pull of a 15 page research paper on Cirque du Soleil, but tomorrow I'll talk with Stacy to see how I can flesh it out. I'm particularly hungry right now, but I'm not going to eat anything because that's not healthy. I also need to start working out again. I've been slacking on my push-up and sit-up routine.

School's out in two weeks (basically) and I'm hoping I'll be able to pull off the GPA requirement for my scholarship. I'm also hoping they'll hold my scholarship, even though I'm getting my call so late after summer/fall registration. But I know that whatever happens is supposed to happen. I can always appeal before the school board, worst case scenario. But since school's going to be out soon, I've been looking for another job to pick up. I need something that will be fine with me working for only a few months, but something that pays halfway decent. I'm still keeping my job at Lekson, but I'm just under $3000 short for my mission, and I could easily pick that up (and a little extra for saving) in working a month full time for over $10.50 an hour. Maybe I'll do some freelance stuff . . . who knows . . .

Every second a second passes, and every 60 seconds a minute passes, and time continues to fly by. I'm trying my best to enjoy life, and have found that applying the principles I've been reading in "How to Win Friends and Influence People," really help to make me feel happy. So do the principles in the Book of Mormon. I'm striving, especially now, to complain less, and serve people more than I serve myself.

I often pause to look with my eyes, and occasionally what I behold is truly amazing. (Maybe I'm just turning this blog into a regurgitation of what's been going on in my brain for the past howeverlong. It is midnight, anyway.) All too often I take advantage of my senses, and I think my humanities class has really helped me to look around.

The song has changed now (actually long ago) to 99 Red Balloons. I don't really have much to say about it.

The other day, I had some flashbacks from my childhood. Living in Bogota, Columbia, as well at St. Louis. I'm not sure why I had them, but it was fun. And I'm pretty sure this post is just turning into a reason for me to stay up. But I don't really care, because I don't.

*laughing

Man, I'm going crazy. Life is great. And I've got tons of stuff on the mind! Is this what it's like to be an adult? It's not that I'm complaining, because somehow I enjoy it. Maybe I'm just tired. Maybe I should go to sleep. At the same time, I've seemed to forget how therapeutic blogging can be! I should probably start writing in a journal again, but for the longest time, I posted just about every day on this blog, and I kindof counted it as my journal.

Boy . . . . I can't wait for my mission. 143 days to the big one-nine.

Weekend

Wow.



That was hard.



Still counting down the days . . . 160 days, 6 hours, 56 minutes, but hopefully sooner than that . . .

Or, only about 230816 minutes.

Clocks keep ticking, and I'm trying to enjoy every second of it.

After A 99 Day Hiatus . . .

. . . I'm back. And blogging. :) It's been about 142,560 minutes since I posted last, and, due to popular request, I'm gonna start blogging again. Actually, it wasn't such a popular request, just my English professor. No one actually seemed to miss my blog, but today in class, Stacy said that I was lame because I stopped blogging, and I told myself that when someone complained that I was gone, I was gonna start posting again. So there you are Stacy! Not so lame anymore, am I? ;)

ANYWAY!

Let's see . . . . Life has drastically changed since I last posted. Lemme go look at my last real post. *goes to look. Ah ha! It looks as though my last post was about my new job! Which isn't so new anymore, but I'm still loving it. Take my word for it, doing tech support for a product that rarely breaks and basically works itself is a great thing! I'll be moving on in a few months though, because I'm currently in the process of filing my MISSION PAPERS!!! :D Within the next several months, I'll receive my mission call, and be headed out!

Currently, I'm dreaming of Cirque du Soleil, going to school, playing in a cover band, doing the occasional magic trick to a random stranger, as well as working. I've also been taking an evening mission prep class on Tuesday nights. I'm ready to go, but I'll leave when I'm supposed to, and where I'm supposed to go. Tanika keeps me motivated and focused, and she's such a soul for doing it, even though I make her feel bad sometimes. Right now, she's what I needed, and I'm really glad that I have her. :)

Other than that, I take care of my frog, and try to watch out for my little brothers. My instrument collection grows larger, and I read my scriptures every day now! It's a glorius thing!

We just came home from Tucano's and I'm full of meat, so I'm gonna go digest now . . .

Finished . . .

Well everyone, Blogging's been great, but when you don't post for a month, you know its starting to fizzle. I do like the layout of facebook though . . . .


Either way, I think I'm going to stop wasting my time checking this blog, so you should probably do the same. Maybe I'll start back up, and I surely won't delete it (I have way too many great posts here . . . .) but as for now, Contemplation Synopsis is retiring.

Thanks for reading! See you on facebook. . . . :D

This just about sums it up...

My friend showed me this quote, and its pretty much how I feel:

Blogging: never before have so many with so little to say said so much to so few.

Hmmm, who to tag

I see Mishy's idea behind this! She's tagging me cuz I havn't posted to my blog for so long. . . . heh heh, well, here's the 4th picture in the 4th picture folder on my computer:

This is a picture of my sister Lizzish, or Willow, or whatever else she likes to be called. :) I'm I have it becuase I like the memories from Scout Camp that it brings, and also that she cares for me. Awww how precious.

Anyways, now I tag ANYONE who reads my blog! *evil laugh
