Well, it looks like I'm going to turn nineteen tomorrow if I make it till then. Who knows, I may have some freak accident and break my neck before then. =) If I do survive long enough I'll turn nineteen during my Ultimate Frisbee game. What adds more to my joy is the fact that I'll get to miss some boring mission prep class because of the game. woot woot!
I think this weekend will go a lot slower then most of my weekends. A few of the guys I know went down to Provo for the weekend and the rest of us really don't have any plans so far. I would try to set up a date, but I really have no desire to do something on campus. It really does hinder a guy date wise not to have any access to a car... I did in fact go to a The Caucasian Chalk Circle last night as group assignment for my Humanities class. I really like plays. They're a lot like movies in that you can't really discuss them till they're over, but I may try to find some girl that likes plays and take her to one some time. Anyway, those are some ideas running through my head right now, so there you go.
I'm also thinking about messing with my hair style a little bit. I went to the temple and did baptisms for the dead the other day and saw myself in the mirror as I started to dry off. My bangs were completely pushed back and I had never really seen my hair like that before. It was rather interesting. Then at the play I was sitting next to a couple of my group members and two of the girls asked me if I have ever gelled my hair like this one guy in the front row. I said no and that I really never have done anything to it. They told me I should experiment with it and I might. Of course these are just random thoughts that are going through my head right now.

Busy Bee
Mondays and Tuesdays are my busiest days of the week. On Mondays I have classes till 3:00pm, then I study till 6:20pm, go to fhe, and then come back to the dorms to study some more. On Tuesdays I have class till 1:45pm, I then go to devotional from 2:00-3:00pm, practice Ultimate Frisbee from 3:15pm till 4:45ish, eat dinner, meet with my science group, and then finally get back to my dorm to study.
I don't mind the busy days much, but I would mind if I had a schedule like that every day of the week. So all in all I'm happily busy.

Snow
According to popular Intel Rexburg is going to get some snow either today or early tomorrow. In fact I saw a couple of flakes at 4:00pm yesterday. This news brings forth both excitement and dread to us residents. I look forward to seeing and playing with the fresh snow, but I also think it’s already cold enough. Oh well, it looks like I’ll be buying long johns or thermal underwear this weekend.
Speaking of the weekend, I have an ultimate Frisbee game at 9:00am Saturday. Like the snow I both look forward to it and don’t. I don’t have any sweats to wear under my shorts yet, so I’m going to be uber cold throughout the game. On the other hand my team, the Hawks, is playing some team that has two of my dorm friends on it. I truly look forward to crushing both of them.
I guess everything revolves around it being cold for right now, because I think I’m going to stop going to the gym early in the morning when the snow hits. I don’t know it’s worth the effort to get to the gym. However, I will still go to the gym during the day regularly.

Curfew is not a battlefeild.
Attention Biddulph Hall Resident:
Recently we have had issues with students staying out past curfew for reasons not condoned by the church or university. If you are a part of this group please understand that even though “no one is checking” the Lord knows the intents of your heart and it is not worth selling your soul for an extra thirty minutes of play time.
If you are aware of a roommate or neighbor that is having a hard time adhering to the honor code, please talk to him directly letting him know that you are concerned for his spiritual well being. If the situation doesn’t improve, or if there is a major concern, please discuss the issue with your student living coordinator, your bishop, with me, or you can talk to the honor office directly.
The following is from a devotional given by President Clark titled The Strategies of the Enemy: “The Enemy has spread fear of getting involved when someone is in trouble. The Enemy whispers, ‘Don’t get involved; it’s not your problem. Don’t tell; you will be a tattletale.’ You don’t need to be a more “righteous-than-thou” person. We are all sinners. We all have troubles. We have all been wounded spiritually. But you who have felt the redeeming power of Christ, you who know His love and His grace, you know He can heal all wounds. If you reach out in a spirit of love and humility, you can help the spiritually wounded find the Savior. If you need to, call for the medics: talk to your bishop, call the Dean of Students, tell someone who can do something that you have a friend in trouble. Don’t be silent. Don’t leave the wounded on the battlefield!”
Do I really even need to explain how silly this is?

96
Yay, Michael is very happy! I've been worried about my pre-calculus for some time now and last week we took our first test. The test was over a ton of content and only ten questions, also it was worth like 10% of my grade. Scary. Needless to say I studied a whole lot for a week. Anyway, today in class he handed us back our tests and I made a 96. Woot! It just goes to show you kids out there that studying helps. That and energy drinks. jk
