Dang it.
So I was planning a blogging my New Year's Resolutions the first day of the year but...
Yeah I kind of got distracted when I was about to, and ended up going to some apartment full of people I'd never met before...and staying there for 4 hours playing games, telling jokes, and being all sorts of ridiculous. Needless to say I've got some new friends.
But back to my point, its now January 2nd!
About 2 am...
So yeah, missed the deadline.
And now its late and I don't want to rush my resolutions post so...I'm gonna do it tomorrow, I mean today, later...today...
Hopefully.
Until next time...good night.

This is Halloween
I never know what to be.
For Halloween that is.
In my latter years I've always tried to be creative. Something original.
As a youth I had plenty of common costumes.
Vampire, Power Ranger, Ninja, Harry Potter, Soldier, etc.
One year when I was like 11 I went as the Phantom of the Opera. Now you don't see every kid dressing as that for Halloween.
Sometimes I was an odd child.
But in my recent years I've had to think more.
My costumes from teenage-dom til now have been better.
Most of them are inside jokes. One year I dressed up as my Dad. You'd have to know him (I love you Dad!). The next year I went as this super old pumpkin costume that my parents had made all eight of us wear as children. It was a little small on me but the family got a laugh out of it. Then I was a "chick-magnet", I wore a shirt with a magnet on it, with pictures of baby chickens. The next year I wore a "Nudist on Strike" sign over a bathrobe (Don't worry, I had clothes on underneath).
This year I was...what would you call it? I've had many names for it. The most popular one is "Walk-in[g] Closet". Basically I decided to put on almost all of the clothes I owned at the same time. Check it out:
Huh? Huh? Pretty cool right? I don't have a full-size picture yet or you could get the full effect. I'll show you later.
I even won "Most Original Costume" at my ward Halloween party. I guess they felt sorry for me and my 12 layers of clothes.
All said and done, a pretty solid Halloween. Except it's 10:15 and I'm at home...and we've had no trick-or-treaters...or gone trick-or-treating....
I did get ten doughnuts as a prize for my costume though. Yeah, I'd say that's a win.
Until next time...Cameron's costume 1, Lame Halloween 0

...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...

A very non-lazy Sunday
Wow, I am tired. What a DAY! I've been up since 7:45 this morning and I've been going going the whole time. Here's the breakdown:
7:45 - 8:45- Wake up and get ready (Sunday clothes and everything)
8:45 - 11:00- Leave to pick up my date for this weird blind date Sunday morning breakfast date that a good friend of mine set me up on at her and her husband's house. It actually turned out to be a really fun and the girl was really cool. Plus I got a real breakfast, so it's already a good morning.
11:10- 1:30- Rush back home to be there for my little brother Weston's Aaronic priesthood ordination, eat dinner (lunch) with the family
1:35- 2:30 - Rush back up to Logan and make it in time for Sunday School.
3:45 - 4:30- I teach the lesson in Priesthood, it goes really well
4:30 - 5:00- Stay after church to talk with the bishopric 2nd counselor, was extended and accepted a calling as the Ward Facilities Chairman (I open and close the church, and shovel the snow in the winter, among other duties)
5:00 - 6:00- Catch up with roommates and we all eat quick dinners (for some reason I'm hungry already by now)
6:00 - 7:15 - CES Fireside, speaker Dallin H. Oaks, it was really good
7:15 - 8:00 - Go home and catch up on Facebook, watch videos about 9/11 (under the guise of finishing homework)
8:00 - 8:30 - Ward prayer and socializing after
8:30 - Now (9:00)- Come back and start working on blog post for the day
So yeah, today has been HECKA busy...and the greatest thing is I have no reason to believe this week will be any different...ahhh, its just like the mission again, go, go, go. Its okay, its good for me. I've gotten really lazy in my months home so it good to have a schedule again. Alright, right now I think I'll go watch a Disney movie with the girls from J1. Maybe I'll go to bed early tonight. Maybe...
Until next time...quit rushing me already!!!

New friends, old friends, and "What was your name again?"
Question: How many people do you think I have met since I've moved up here to Logan?
Answer: Hundreds, maybe THOUSANDS OF-okay maybe that's an exaggeration, but I'm actually not exaggerating about the hundreds thing. Sure I'm not BFF's with every one of them, but I literally have shaken hands and exchanged names with dozens, if not hundreds of people. Now I'm not bragging, especially when you consider the fact that I remember the names of maybe 20 or 30 or those people, I'm only highlighting another aspect of college life: meeting new people.
Personally I love it. I've never branched out and been so social in my whole life, well, except for my mission. But that was different, most people I talk to here are actually happy to see me, instead of averting their eyes and hoping I pass them by. It really is quite exciting.
So the upside has been that I've pretty much done something social every night that I've been here, ranging from ice cream parties (with 100+ guests) to bon fires in the canyon, with movie watching, dance parties, and pranking other apartments mixed in between, among other things. It really has been a quite exciting almost 3 weeks.
The downside? My sleep deprivation habits have finally caught up to me. All those late night social events have taken their toll. Today by my last class I was DEAD. I could not stay awake. So I took a nap when I came home. If you don't know how I feel about naps you should know that we have a love/hate relationship. On one hand they're great for resting after a long day (or many long days), on the other hand I usually wake up and feel like I've slept into the next century, only to find that its only been an hour.
But all in all I wouldn't change anything. Already I have tons of great memories, and I've only been here 3 weeks! Whenever a week passes by I can hardly believe that its only been a week. My roommate Mike and I frequently catch ourselves saying, "Was that really just last week?" Its just that so much happens in a week, its hard to believe. I already have met several people who I know I'm going to be best friends with this year, in addition to reconnecting with a few old friends that I haven't seen in a while. Another exciting part of the college life.
Well, that's all for today. Until tomorrow....what was your name again?
