A hello to new classes, a goodbye to an old friend

This is Jordan.

We have been best friends since junior high. 

After we graduated high school he moved to Alabama for school. 

He came home for the holidays. We had some wicked good times. 

Yesterday we (Mike and I) had to say goodbye again.

Boo.

I wish I got to see him more, I love this kid!

Good luck in Alabama buddy, you're awesome!

The new semester started yesterday.

I had 4 regular classes and 3 institute classes.

I started at 8:30...

I didn't get home until 5.

2 math classes, 1 chemistry class, and one awesome martial arts class.

Preparing for Eternal Marriage, New Testament, and Book of Mormon in Institute.

Today was easier.

Just one math class, and one institute class (Parables of Jesus Christ)

Only usually on Tuesdays I will have a three hour chemistry lab, starting next week. 

Yep, its started. 

Well, if we must...bring it on school, I got this. 

Until next time...I am already sleep deprived...

Something borrowed

This is an idea I'm borrowing (with permission) from the blog of a good friend of mine.

Sometimes there are things you want to say to people, but have no where to say it.

Well welcome to my blog, the place for ideas who don't have a home anywhere else. 

So with that, here are my letters, to various people in my life:

Dear you, I know, its amazing how two people so different can get along so well. Thanks for everything.

Dear you, I wish you would stop worrying and realize what a beautiful person you are. You have nothing to worry about.

Dear you, what a difference a day can make.

Dear you, you are too much fun, don't stop being your sunny self.

Dear you, you rock, but dishes don't clean themselves.

Dear you, I know its frustrating, but you just have to get used to it.

Dear you, I'm not sure how you feel about me, or I you.

Dear you, you are my hero and I can only wish to be half of what you are some day

Dear you, I owe you the world twice over.

Dear you, you have to be one of the most awesome people in the entire world. Don't stop.

Dear you, could we talk about food a little less?

Dear you, please don't give up, we're all here for you. If only you knew.

Dear you, I'm excited to meet you.

Until next time...sincerely, Me.

It happens

Today I slept through my first class.

Yep, my alarm sounded, I turned it off and just kept on truckin' (sleeping)

And I woke up at 10:20, literally right when my first class gets out. Weird huh?

My next class, not til 11:30, was canceled today.

At 12:30 I had math, but instead of going I used the time of my canceled class and math class to finish my math assignment that I didn't do last night

I got to class just in time to turn it in,

Then I went home.

Its a good day. I slept in, the sun is shining and its beautiful outside, and I got caught up on The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Community on Hulu. Now on to Modern Family.

At 5:00 PM we are having a Man Night. Mike, Eric, Zach, and I are going to Eric and Zach's place to cook and eat lots of meat and watch The Dark Knight, with our shirts off. (this is all due to recent trouble with women in each of our lives) Its gonna be awesome.

Until next time...bacon anyone?

...and now I can't get all of the paint out of my arm hairs...

WOOOO!!!!

PARTY ROCK!!!!

Dear Everybody and their dog,

Tonight was AWESOME! I went to a paint dance with my friends, got drenched in watery paint, then got into a paint fight with REAL paint, turned all green and looked like the Hulk, then went and got a slurpee with my roommates and the apartment next door, still covered in paint. It was a RUSH!

Well everyone, I need to sleep. Gotta wake up early tomorrow and take down the paint dance set up.

Until next time...I still have paint on my elbow...dang it...

It's so easy, a Caveman could do it!

Dear World,

       Its late. Really late. I should be asleep. But I don't feel tired. So I figured, hey, why not post at 3 am. The past few days have been awesome. Yesterday night I went up with Mike, Kevin, Jerrica, and Lauren to a cave Mike and I had found called The Green Door. Its actually more of a tunnel.

Anyway, after basically everything going wrong (not having meat for the tinfoil dinners, forgetting the firewood, losing each other on the drive up, passing the trail for the hike up, etc.) we made it up there. We proceed to make a fire with Mike's steel wool and after much coercing (and after Kevin got involved, as he would say), we were able to make fire. We felt like real men, HUH!

After putting the dinners on the coals we started taking lots of night pictures. If you don't know Mike, my best friend and roommate, I should tell you he is a huge photography lover. He's really good too. We took lots of night pictures involving steel wool spinning in circles, and "painting" with flashlights and LEDs. Here's some examples:

 

If you want to see more pictures by Mike, go here: "Endless Photography" Mike's Photo page

Anyway, after tons more pictures I haven't shown you, we ate dinner (with Lauren's various cards from her wallet, cause we forgot the forks. I ate with a Costa Vida rewards card), then took more pictures, and talked, and the fire started smoking us out of the cave, while the rain (yes it rained quite a bit while we were there), drove us in, so we sat just at the mouth until the fire died down and the smoke receded, allowing us to fully enter the cave. We soon get settled for sleep. I had an awesomely warm sleeping bag that Lauren (was it Lauren's?) provided me. Unfortunately Kevin didn't get one and slept with a funny train blanket we made fun of him for, and Mike had this super thin sleeping bag with a broken zipper that Kevin and I called a five year old's sleeping bag, because it looked really small for him.

I fell asleep rather quickly, as did Kevin. But apparently the girls and Mike stayed up later, even going for a stroll down the tunnel after we were asleep. They told me I talked in my sleep and snored. Wouldn't be the first time, right family?

Kevin woke up early and left cause he had work, and the rest of us slept til around 10:30. It was the first time I had slept in for two weeks. Its was awesome, even though my back said otherwise. We hiked down and had doughnuts for breakfast the girls had left in their car, then returned home.

Its was way fun, I loved sleeping a cave/tunnel, even if there were weird lobster shaped bugs that attacked us. I would definitely do it again.

Until next time...call me caveman.
