The good, bad and the ugly....





Well, I'm now a week and a half into school. So far, so good. Strangely, the only thing I'm really having a problem with so far is getting up in time for my classes. I have a 7:30 class on mondays and wednesdays and an 8:00 class on tuesdays and friday. Sarah and I are planning on going to the temple every thursday morning so we don't abuse the ability to sleep in too much :)
Sad event of the week.... My family's dog, Sunshine was put to sleep on monday. She is a Golden Retriever and we've had her since she was a puppy. She was extremely friendly and very loyal. She was 14 years old and was just diagnosed with cancer. In the past few years she lost her hearing and had severe cataracts in both eyes. It was time for her to go. We will all miss her a lot but we know she's not in any pain anymore and probably enjoying her youth very much again. :)
This past week I was also called to be the 2nd Counselor in my ward Relief society. I am shocked and scared but know I can do it with the Lord's help. I know I will learn a lot and help me prepare for the next big step in my life-- preparing for a mission. I feel good about it and I'm hoping to leave by febuary.
This semester with school, band, this calling and preparing for a mission, is going to be extremely busy and probably stressful. (I've already felt the stress by getting a really bad cancersore on my tongue and by having this consistant twitching in one of my eyelids that's making me go crazy)
BTW, for those of my friends who are reading this that are not in my classes at school, all the links and stuff are for my technology class. We are learning a bunch of cool ways to share information and how to use all the resourses that are avalible for us online.
I can't promise that I'll write on here often but I'll try. Thanks for being awesome!
