Talking To Your Best Friend

I like to talk. Who doesn't want like their opinions and their feelings heard by their peers. Oftentimes we like to think that we are alone and insignificant that we fail to recognize that there are those who are truly our friends. Part of this liking to talk means that sometimes, I go over the allotted time I gave myself to be social. Like this afternoon, I got so enthralled with finding a clown for my nephew's birthday party That I forgot that I need to get dressed for work and not miss the bus. realizing this conundrum, I resorted to calling Katherine and having her take me to my work. Was there and awkward moment? Just a little. Maybe talking is a bad thing. I now have a student who dislikes me a little because I don't listen to her. Maybe I need to know that I heard it right so that I can make proper judgment. Anyways, the highlight of tonight was talking to Ammon for an hour and a half. Man, it feels good catching up with old friends and I think that a friendship has to have that part where you haven;t seen each other that long but still have stuff to talk about. Well, we are hanging out when I go to Utah next week for General Conference. Man, it is going to be freaking awesome! Talking and friendship to me coincide. One leads to the other and help you in the course of life. I think that it is really great that the Gospel provides a great back drop for that.

A Blogger Once Again

You really get what is coming to you especially when you stay up late. Last night was one of those nights. I spent a lot of it with Katherine. We talked about the gospel and how at some point you get tired of the monotony of living it. Between school and work and providing for her family, life has been pretty hard. I salute her for her efforts though. She wrote to me my whole mission and I saw her trials in the letters that she had written. I feel for her and now that I am back, I try to be a good friend to her. I am really glad that she feels that she can talk to me about her problems. To make them go away, we went to Wal-Mart last night and browse. I got home and finished some homework and went to bed around1:30am. I have an 8 o'clock class everyday and usually I am pretty good at waking up, but I had such a hard time this morning. This progressed throughout the day. Heck, I took a nap to and from work and was dosing off during my Book of Mormon class. Things have been going pretty well, I think. School is top priority- I work and do all these things to someday help benefit me in my schooling. I really enjoy it all. I love being in school again. It seems that that is what my whole life is about because after school, I got to school again. This time it is to help kids become better, though. Like, real life teaching opportunities. What an amazing thing. I just wish that one of these days, my kids will actually listen to me! To end the evening, I attended Institute. I kinda have to be there, but I really enjoy it. The big thing I gotta worry about as the Institute president is pulling off this Multi-Regional fireside and filling our October forum spots. Man, incumbency is never fun! I though that I would start blogging again- keep a journal again. When I am not so pressed in time, I would like to do a multi-lingual version. That is it today. And tomorrow is my Geography quiz. I have to study for that early so i will retain the exact locations!
