Summer Hiking!!

This is from the same hike, except that it is Becca that is in the picture, not Erika. And Zeeland the hiker dog, as in she went hiking with us.

Summer Hiking!

I thought that this was an awesome looking picture, as in the back ground, so I decided that it would be a good blog picture. During the summer my ward went hiking on the Crimson trail for FHE and this was at about the top of the mountain. The other girl besides me is my friend Erika and she saved me from dehydration...just kidding! Actually what happened was that my old roommate Leah had a back pack and so we put all of our water in it and anyways we got split. So I didn't have a water bottle anymore and so Erika had some extra and gave it to me, and then along the way we stopped and took pictures along with Becca...who is the trainer of Zeeland the dog. She like trains dogs for blind people and that sort of thing. So it was a fun FHE and I was very glad that I went to that one.

Biology lab!!

In my biology lab today we went conoeing at a lake out in Benson, which is fairly close to Logan. But the main purpose of this conoeing trip was to see the birds and I ended up on a lost conoe. So we missed half of it, because we were trying to find the group. But it was fun conoeing, since I've never done it before. It was cook though, because there was a group of pelicans and so that was cool.

Religion in Life!!

Today I went to Religion in Life at the institute and this guy that is in a wheel chair talked. Basically he told the whole story of how he ended up in the wheel chair and what not...basically this is the story: When he was 15 he went over to his friends house and his friends parents were gone somewhere. So his friend pulled out this gun and said that he liked messing around with it, because it was fun. Then this friend dumped out the bullets and pointed the gun straight at this guy that was giving the talk and bamb (there was somehow a bullet still in the gun) the bullet went straigt through him. Except that it stopped because it hit his spine, so he has been paralyzed from the time he was 15, so about 30 years. The very interesting thing that I found from this whole story was that it was an accident and everything, but of the two the one that turned out messed up was the guy with the gun and not the guy in the wheel chair. Even though it should have been the other way around. But the other guy ended up robbing a bank later on and has been in jail like 20 years. So I guess the whole point of the talk was that even if trials happen you shouldn't give up and follow the world, but do the exact opposite. But I must say that I sure wouldn't want to be that friend, like ever. (as in accidently shooting someone or something like that)

Days of School Life...!

I've decided that I didn't know how lucky I was when I was at Snow College and didn't have to work during the school year. Because I haven't been able to start my new job yet and it's the end of the second week. But due to that I am actually not behind in really any of my classes, and I have all this extra time. So either I have easier classes then I had at Snow, or I didn't manage time very well at Snow. But it's cool, because I still like all my classes...and the wierd one is actually pretty good now. More the fact that I don't want to read the book and I have to, so I read it really fast and write the papers really fast...so then it goes by fast. So that is kind of why I like that one, because with the rest I tend to read really slowly and it gets really long and boring.
Onto another subject: I've come to notice that college students tend to do this thing called they want to graduate and leave the school they're attending.
So as my friend Jessi was writing on her blog we need to enjoy the time we have and not rush through it in attempts to get rich, or get married or whatever. Because sooner or later we'll suddenly realize that we're like 50 and rushed through everything.
I've started noticing this lately because when I was at Snow I wanted to get through it really fast and go to Logan where friends/relatives were at. Then I came to Logan and was sad to not be at Snow anymore, but then I got sick of living at the first place I lived at in Logan so I wanted to move somewhere else, because it sounded funner. Well, I moved last spring and now wish that I were back there in that ward, because it was actually better then I thought it was at the time. So it's best to not rush things and actually appreciate what you have. That's my life lesson of the day...hehe!!
