Seminary

On Monday, I started SEMINARY! I have to get up a 5 in the morning. Let me tell you, I am extremely tired during the day. I nap on the bus and I almost fell asleep in seminary. Of course, my dad caught me, and I told him I didn't mean to. It's going pretty well and the same with school. I've already made some new friends. But looking forward to the end of the year. Only 174 more days left of school!!!! Yay!!!!

Update on HIGH SCHOOL!

Today was my first day of school which means first day of high school. It went very well. I was very surprised that I did not get lost at all. I had my handy dandy map with me the whole time. It was really nice because they let you carry around a back pack and you don't have to use your lockers. Not as many of my friends as I would like are in my classes. I'm glad thought that there are only a few smart aleks and butts in my classes. By the end of the school day I am exhausted, I'm not used to having to wake up at 5:30 in the morning (starting Monday 5:00). On Monday I start early morning seminary. Well I'm going to go so I can try to take a nap!!!

School

On Wednesday I start 9th grade and in Maryland that's your freshman year in high school! I'm sort of nervous of the change. I'm mostly nervous of getting lost. I went to an open house today and got my schedule and went around to all of my classes. Hopefully that's enough not to get lost. I hope no Juniors of Seniors pick on me! I'll post the first day of school for ya on Wednesday.

Boy oh Boy oh Boy!!!

With the money I got from Aunt Tina and getting from Grandpa I got something brand new. I got a 22" widesceen computer monitor. It is so cool. Grandpa got it for me so I could work it off the rest of the way.

A Couple Things

I just thought I would let you guys know what I've been doing this past week.

1. I helped Aunt Tina paint part of the townehouse. It was fun because I spent a lot of time with them and slept over for 5 nights. Chancy, McKay and I all had fun (I THINK!!!!)

2. I've been helping Grandpa with his buisness. I help him drill endplates for his cell. Though it is a little boring, I'm just glad I can help and he doesn't have to worry about the drilling.

3. Last night my dad, my dad's friend and I went to an IMAX theater that was about 2 hours away. We had decided to watch "The Dark Night." It was quite an experience. The whole theater was shaking with sound and it was intense and a little disturbing. Watching a 6-story screen Batman movie is pretty cool and worth the drive. I can't wait till it comes out on DVD!!!

4. Today we rearranged our family room so it would be more divided into seminary and living space. It looks a whole lot different than the old way.

5. Also today I went to my mom's "BACK TO SCHOOL PARTY." I had decided not to swim. We got there and Zane, Noah, and Stevie all hoped in. My dad and I walked toward the deep end of the pool just talking. I then looked over just in time to see Stevie jump into the water via the diving board. Now Stevie can't swim very well so we were all worried. Stevie just jumped off without a second thought and surfaced. She started to swim and then went under. At that point I had jumped in the pool with all my clothes on and my cell phone. I got her and with difficulty swam to the side. It's not easy swimming while someone is pushing you down and you're wearing jeans and tennis shoes. Well we made it to the side and my mom told me to go home and get my swimsuit and my dad to get floaties. That was very scary for me. I had never in real life had to do that.
