It's official...!

So as alot of you know I was thinking of going on a mission, or in other words I wouldn't go on a mission but I got the very distinct impression to go on a mission back in July. Well basically I figured out what happened, back in July I got the very distinct impression to go on a mission. And after a few days I got all confused about it for a month or so and anyways kind of what it was was that I was previously planning to buy Marianne's car from her so that she could go and not have it sitting around our parents house. Well the thing is that it was like the perfect situation because it was going to be a really good deal for a car and I would buy it right after I graudated and everything. So anyways I ended up telling her that I wasn't going to buy it anymore and so she was going to give it to someone else and the thing was that she was going to wait though until I decided that I wasn't really going to buy it. (and really go on a mission) So psychologically I really wanted to buy the car and not go on a mission, even though I didn't really realize that this was the case. (yeah that sounds wierd but sometimes that happens you do want to do something in the back of your head but you haven't figured that part out yet) So anyways, I was over at Janae and Richards like a week and a half ago and they asked me if I was still going to buy the car? since they want to buy it if I don't because their car just recently broke down. And at first I said that I didn't know and then after a little bit it suddenly came to me that I really don't need that car and they really do need it alot more since it's edging on fall/winter in Cache Valley and they can't just bike around with little Jaylee in the ice and snow. So I went back and told them to buy the car because I can keep riding the bus if I needed too. Well, as it turns out the very next day I was on facebook and my nice friend Jessio wrote to me and was quoting these scriptures and all of this relating to going on a mission and then it was also the Oquirrah Mountain temple dedication that weekend and guess what once I forgot the car it was very easy to make a decision. Or in other words I wasn't confused anymore and I had the very distinct impression to go on a mission again and it hasn't left since then. So I am going to start filling out mission papers this week because just so you all know I have another story for you all.

Back in the day when I was attempting to move off of Darwin Ave I got the very distinct impression to move to Anderson. So I went and as things turned out I was in a freshmen type ward and I really didn't like it all that much, but I did have some cool roommates and so it was okay. But I did wonder more then once why I got the very distinct impression to move to Anderson when I was how old? So anyways, Holly my roommate from Anderson and I decided to stay roommates this year, but we also decided to invite a girl we met named Julia (she lived on Darwin last year we just randomly met her at a party). So as of right now we are all roommates, and guess what? Julia for the last year has been in a graduate program that she does not like at all, but she's just staying in it because she doesn't know what else to do. Actually that was as of last week, so Holly (the one I met in Anderson) started talking to her about how she's doing pre-med and all of that and very quickly Julia had decided in just a few days to drop her program and do pre-med. As of last week she completely dropped the graduate program and got into all these biology classes a week late. And now she is going to finish this semester and move back to Provo and go to BYU with her brother, which is where she should have been doing all along except that her graduate program was only at USU. (the only University in Utah that had the graduate program anyways, it's probably at other Universities out of Utah) So anyways the moral of the story is that if I had not followed the instinct impression to move to Anderson and I'd stayed over by Darwin I would never have met Holly. I would have met Julia but not Holly and to this very day Julia would still be in that program she didn't like, since the only reason why she dropped it was because she didn't know much about the medicine programs and it was because of Holly that she found out who the advisors were and pretty much just got someone to convince her to drop the graduate program even if she'd already been in it for a year. So the moral of the story is that due to this experience I will never ever again ignore a very distinct prompting to do something. Which means that I am going on a mission even if I'm how old? Because I will never ever ignore very distinct promptings again, especially in this case where I've had the same very distinct impression to go on a mission several times.

Not totally what I thought!

Actually I found out that they are doing December graduation this year, but this is the last year. I guess that they decided to be nice to us this year since alot of people who are graduating where probably planning for it, so they aren't making it official until next year.

Silly budget cuts

So apparently we have such a big budget cut now that they are cutting out december graduation at USU, well more like what they're doing is everyone still graduates but they are cutting out the commencement. Not like it costs anything, we're the ones who have to get a hold of the cap and gown. But get this, last night my roommate and I went to this school event, which was bingo. So while we're there they have this contest with two guys who have to eat pizza and then whoever is finished first has to call someone to bring them lucky charms and whoever has it first gets $400.00. Then they're doing something today where with some contest whoever wins get $1000.00 tuition wieved. Yeah, such a huge budget cut that they cut out fall graduation but they seem to be able to afford throwing money out like that. I have to say when I first heard it I was slightly sad, but not a ton since you know it's not like I'm not graduating I'm just not walking. But then when I heard about all of this other stuff I was alot more annoyed...grrrr. And the other thing that is annoying is that they spend thousands of dollars on remodeling the dorms as in totally gutting the buildings and completely redoing them. Yet they can't do fall graduation commencements. Anyways, if I really wanted to walk I'd do it in the spring, but we'll see if that happens.

I must have been inspired...

So I go stuck in the Village/Aggie Village for work this semester and so I get to drive around this little ice cream cart. And today I was going to leave and I back up but just a bit to far and so the back tires were on the grass and when I tried to drive the back wheels would just spin and I couldn't get the cart to drive back onto the side walk. So there I was and I needed to get to a class and so I got out one last time and I looked around and finally decided to just back up to the wide walk across the grass. And it ended up that half way across the grass I almost hit a tree, because there is no back window on those carts. So I had to stop before that happened and so I just turned around and got turned left and got off the grass luckily. Well when I got to the cart parking lot I couldn't get into my spot, because this golf cart was in the way. So I went around it and found that there wasn't enough room and so I hit the golf car, but I was going slow enough that there wasn't any damage and so it was wierd because I backed up and somehow got around that cart into my spot. And when I got out to leave I looked and it was very wierd that I even got into that spot, because there really wasn't room. So I guess that I was just inspired alot today to back up...because I barely made it on time to the class since it took 15 minutes to park the cart. But as it is I made a possibly bad decision...I quit that job today. Because Aggie Village is just to far away from campus for someone who is walking like me and so I will most likely be late to alot of classes if I continue working there. Luckily I have enough $ for the semester though, it's just later stuff as for next spring that I don't have enough for...but oh well it'll work out.

Being homeless....grrrrrrrrrrr :(

Do you know how annoying the moving system is in Logan Utah? So basically in the spring it is a little better because the place you move out of and the place you move to are closer together. But in the fall it is really annoying, because they make you move out the first week of august and the other place won't let you in until part way through august. So yeah, at the moment I am having to find people to stay with, as in until this sathurday. But my whole problem is that they're remodeling and haven't finished yet, so I'm stuck having to sneakily stay with people. It's a complete pain...but the thing that I've decided is that I'm never moving again in Logan. So I've been thinking about it and I've come to the conclusion that I should go to the applied technology center here in Logan and do dental assisting. Basically because I didn't make the wisest decision when I decided to do FCHD and so I really won't ever get a very decent job even with a bachalers degree. So anyways, I have decided that I just need to finish school and so it would be better to just go to Bridgerland and do dental assisting since it only takes a year. While alot of master degrees take several years, so if I'm doing dental assisting then I'll be in Logan anotheryear. So yes my plan is to never move again while I'm in Logan Utah...!

Not yet...:)

Well, I haven't gotten the pictures from Marianne yet...so you know how that goes :) :) Anyways, it's been fun because this summer I worked with some mexican girls and so they started teaching us how to make mexican food...such as salsa, tamalies and stuff like that. I must say even though I have worked at a cleaning job for the last three summers it has usually turned out fine. Because I've come to decide that as long as you get along with co-workers, roommates and such everything turns out just fine :)

You can tell that you've been somewhere to long when you start...

So today I was at the Logan City Library and I was walking along and then I glanced over to see that someone had left there wallet and cell phone (yes it was both of them) sitting on a table (actually the girl was down an isle looking at a book). I almost freaked out when I saw that...because I've been in Philadelpia for two weeks and if that had happened in Philadelpia that wallet and phone would have been gone in two seconds. I couldn't believe it...that someone would just leave there stuff just sitting there. But you know it is Utah and for the most part you can get away with stuff like that...! Except for one time when I was at the store I dropped a $20.00 bill and quickly saw that it was gone and went back to find it...but I never did find it. So anyways, that is what happens when you go somewhere like Philadelpia for awhile...which is that you come back to a place like Logan Utah and you realize that you do need to be careful about stuff like that.

Anyways, I'm messed up at the moment due to going to Philadelpia and then coming back to Utah...! Because Philadelpia is two hours ahead and so we had to get to the airport at 6:30 a.m. to get on a 8:00 a.m. flight in Philly. And so according to Utah time we got up at 3:30 a.m. and then we flew and then got kicked back two hours when we got back to Utah, and so we landed in Salt Lake at 1:30 p.m. And so we had to drive up to Logan and all of that, which was fine until I found out that I had to work at 7:00 a.m. the next day...along with working on sathurday. So yeah, I pretty much have been getting up early for the last two days...which has caused me to be extremely tired. (luckily I don't work on sunday)

But I have some Philly pictures that I'll have to post...when I get them anyways that is!!
