I should become a blood donator!

It's kind of funny because I haven't had a single shot since I was 5 years old and so I really don't remember ever getting one. So I've always been freaked out by needles and so I actually got the donating blood coordinator calling two summers ago and I still wouldn't do it. Well I've finally been forced to get shots and so today was my second day of getting shots. And interestingly enough I don't think that I'm as afraid of needles as I thought I was. So just last summer I was talking to some girls in my ward about how it's the people who deal well with needles who should donate blood and the others shouldn't. So now that I know that I deal well with needles I should just start donating blood more often...don't you think?
But as for right now I basically just have to go to the dentist and find out blood lab results from the health and wellness center and then I am done filling out mission papers...! Actually I forgot one really annoooooooooooooooooying thing though, so I am kicked off of my parents health insurance because I'm to old for it now. But I have to have insurance for going on a mission, so I have to get my own health insurance and I don't know what to do about that. Since it's so expensive as it is and I need to be saving for going on the mission. But hopefully I find something before January, since that is when I'm turning the papers in...has anyone heard of a group plan? Because my bishop did tell me that I should do that, but I don't know anything about it. (it's probably the best option though)

11 more weeks

I normally don't try to wish the semester away, but this time I am because in 12 weeks from now I'll be graduated from college. (unless I do happen to go to graduate school) That's all I'm thinking of at the moment as I try to attempt finishing some papers today, but I'm so tired of homework I haven't started yet. Basically it's a very good thing that I'm not going to be doing anymore school stuff for a few more years because I've been in college for way to long...sigh!!

So it's kind of funny because according to the calender it is fall now as of last monday, but it's still boiling hot in Cache Valley. But the funny thing is that on monday the 21st (first day of fall) it was really cold, and then by the end of the week which is right now it is suddenly hot again. So it's like the weather is trying to prove that it's fall on the first day, but it can't keep it that way. The weather here is so strange, it's either really hot or really cold...that's why people get broncitis here right?

How many vote this is a scam???????

So I was doing computer stuff today and just out of the blue this screen popped up. At first I thought it sounded cool, and decided to look back at it later. So later came and I looked at it again but that time I noticed all the comments and all these people are getting thousands of dollars a week at this internet job. After reading that I had a very bad feeling that it was a scam...read on and then tell me what you think since it would be helpful at the moment to have a good job. Here's the website: http://www.news3insider.com/finance/work-for-google-from-home.html
Remember I need to know if you all agree with me or not, and if it's not a scam then I should get the job. Don't worry I won't be to depressed if you all agree, but I already kind of figure it's a scam. Mainly because it sounds a bit to unrealistic...but if it is a non-scam job you all should get it.

Facebook is over taking the world I tell you!

So today I found out that Marvin is doing facebook...I can't believe that my whole family is doing facebook now. Everyone but Janae and my Dad, it is realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly wierd I tell you. Well it's more wierd when 12 year old Tanner is doing it, 14 year old Marvin is doing it...so you know it's just kind of wierd how stuff like that snags everyone in. It seems more like a college student network, but now it's a everyone network. Strange isn't it?

Close call and the missionaries!

I came extremely close to losing all my classes this semester, to think if it had really happened I would be in a heap of trouble. So I got this e-mail yesterday saying that the deadline for tuition and fees is Sept. 17, which is like tomorrow. And I thought to myself "well that is strange that I would get an e-mail like that when financial aid normally pays tuition and fees." But for some reason I had this odd feeling that something was terribly wrong and I didn't know what it could possibly be. So I forgot about it until this morning in the computer lab and suddenly I remembered that e-mail so I went back and looked at it. But then I decided that it really had to be just an e-mail that got sent out to everyone, even though I've never gotten it before. Well, just minutes before a class I suddenly got an e-mail from financial aid saying that I had to sign this agreement form with their conditions on it that was on-line. Then I suddenly remembered that I had gotten that e-mail before but discarded it since I already have gotten financial aid, considering it is on my school account and all. So then today I suddenly realized that maybe I didn't get it after all even though it says I did in my account. Well, I ended up hurrying and finding this form and agreeing to the usual "I'll get a 2.0 GPA or higher to keep this financial aid" and whatever else is in that agreement from. Well, I suddenly realized that I must have read the account wrong and I never did get it, so right after the class I ran to the financial aid office. And guess what? I found out that I really didn't ever get it, just because I'd never gone and confirmed the agreement form. Which is pretty sad because I don't recall this sort of incident happening before. Maybe it is just a new thing, or I did that early enough in the summer other times that I have forgotten it. But to think if I hadn't of gotten that e-mail when I did I probably would be in college anymore as of tomorrow. Without paying $100.00 add fee to get them all back when financial aid did actually come. But that explains alot as to why I never got the extra that I usually get when tuition is paid. I just assumed it went to a wrong address or something...!

So I was kind of bad today and I went on a different path as to avoid the Elders, it's probably not a good idea normally. But I was in a hurry and they always stop me and start trying to get me to come up with someone who isn't LDS that I can hook them up with. It's kind of hard when I get stopped every other week and everytime I still don't know anyone besides the one person who is already taking the discussions and the one lady who is way into drinking to ever consider that. So I saw them at the top of the old main stairs and so I took a different route...bad attitude for someone who is supposed to be going on a mission right? (the Utah missionaries are slightly to pushy though since it's Utah and how much of the population is LDS?)

Funny how different schools are!

So I wasn't planning to work at the after school job again, but it ended up that it was one of my only options so I took it again. They had enough at the old school I was at, so I'm over at Ellis Elementary this year. It's crazy though because I was with the 1st graders last year and I am again this time too, but I was completely shocked today when a bunch of them came running over and wanted me to read books to them. Because last year the first graders didn't even want to read, they wanted to play more then that. And it's also strange because a whole bunch of them always want me to help them do their homework. Whereas last year they would always run to the other teacher, which they knew more since she'd been there longer then me. But it's just interesting that these kids are so into doing their homework and reading, and not just playing all the time. Another nice thing is that the teacher over after school is very much into it and isn't there because she has to be. And she is fluent in spanish, which helps since there are alot of hispanics in the school. So I've come to decide that it was a good thing I took the job again, since judging something by one time experience isn't always accurate.

One problem with electronic communication!

So I was talking to someone through facebook and this morning I replied only to find another reply to me from this person this afternoon. And apparently this person thought that I was all mad or something from the comment I made this morning, yet I haven't been upset today at all. (in fact today was great since I did really good on a test) So I don't have anything against facebook, e-mail, texting or whatever but it can be frusterating when someone reads you wrong when the conversation was through facebook. (and when you tell them you weren't mad they don't believe you because it was through facebook) So talking on the phone or in person often times is much better...don't you all think?
