End of my days with cell phones...

Just so you all know I got rid of my cell phone, because it was getting a little out of hand with people texting me all the time. And it's just kind of a pain having to pay $50.00 a month, when there is a cheaper route. It was hard to give it up, but since I'm not going to be in study groups anymore and that sort of thing I just decided to get a track phone. Because all I really need it for is probably getting a job, and stuff like that. So just plan on e-mailing me and we should be fine right?
This is kind of a strange story...but you know how it always seems like when girls turn in mission papers and suddenly they get a boy friend? Well, it ends up that my old roommates brother has started talking to me on facebook and just like today was like "what's your phone number? because this facebook thing is really slow when talking to people." So yeah, I did just get a track phone, so I just said that I couldn't talk on the phone alot with it being a track phone. But it's kind of wierd that this guy is suddenly all interested especially since we'd only met once. It's the usual going on a mission scenerio though...since a girl that I met in the summer had got her mission call and everything to suddenly get a boy friend. But apparently this guy didn't like the idea of letter writing and waiting 18 months so they broke up and she's on her mission now. Interesting how that all works though!!

May 15 2010 is the day...

I wanted to do it earlier, but with having to pay for my own insurance I decided that I can't put any ealier then May 15 on my mission papers so then I will be able to have like five or six months to work before leaving. I'm ready to turn them in though like right now, since Marianne just got her mission call today. She's going to Guatamala and gets to learn spanish...kind of sad since I want to go to a spanish place. I probably will end up in Russia or some place that I won't need to know the laungauge again after finishing. Actually, I'm pretty sure I'll end up in the states or Canada, just one of those things that I wouldn't be surprised seeing happen. But it's kind of funny because I am going to take the same mission prep class again next semester and it's going to be the same teacher. I decided that I should do that since last semester I didn't really take it all that seriously, but now that it's closer and school won't be in the way I'm going to attempt to be more serious about it ;)

Marvin the teasing brother...

So I was trying to write a blog post and Marvin keeps teasing me and he's smiling right now because of it. So I'm not saying anything else today...except that Mr. Marvin is keeping me from being bored today...;)

Quite impressive...

So my roommate just tonight started telling me about her semester long chemistry group and how they've always got together, but just to compare their homework answers and to study for the tests. And today she got there to find out that no one in the group but her and done the homework, so these people in her group literally wanted her to just give them the answers. Yeah, and so I mentioned that it would have been interesting to see how this guy in our would have reacted if he'd been in the group...because he's in her class and she's studied with him before. And she was like "he was there actually and I forgot to add but he was the only one who wasn't trying to get me to give him the answers." Yeah, so later it came up again and I asked if the guy in our ward had actually told the other people that he didn't want the answers? So she said that he actually didn't really say anything, but she knew he wouldn't have taken the answer if she'd tried to give them to everyone. Because apparently this guy doesn't always finish the homework, but he'll just turn it in anyways even if he gets a C and he won't take answers from other people. So my roommate was just like "I guess he thinks it is more important to be honest then to get an A." But anyways, that most definately is the ideal attitude in life, because in a few years grades will be forgotten but if you learn to cheat that won't be forgotten.
Sigh.......I have to add that just the other day I was at work doing homework with the first graders. And this first grader was seriously trying to copy math answers from some of the other kids and I had to stop her. But yeah that's pretty sad for first grade, which of course leads to the same type of study habit for college...sigh!!
