this weekend feels like a bit of a waste kinda. Well, mostly Saturday. Friday was lots of fun. But because of work i started hanging out at around 11:30, and didn't get home around 3. I slept in until 1ish, and have to go to work at 4:15, so there's not a whole lot i can do in between. I am probably going to get mad tips from yesterday though, so that's kinda nice, but i'm not really having any time to spend them, so yeah. I remember how this goes, but i figure once summer kicks in (in no more than 3 weeks) i'll be able to have tons of fun. i'm looking forward to it. I'm also looking forward to my pay check friday, i can't decide whether to buy a Wii or a Cell phone, but right now i'm leaning towards a Wii, probably by then i'll have enough money to buy a cell phone in tip outs, so i may do both. We shall see.

This friday is Spiderman 3, i really want to see it at midnight, but i have to wake up at around 6:30 the next morning to drive to laurel for a piano competition, so i dunno if that's going to work out. I'll have that friday off though, so i'll probably just see it during the day sometime or something.

Pergatory

That was, quite possibly, the most nervous i've been about anything in a long time. But as of last night i am nearly officially an eagle (some paper work has to go through dallas, but for all purposes, i have it, i even got to use the secret handshake). That was kinda scary, that whole unsurety about being an eagle. I think my Eagle scout is worth 45 dollar pants...we still might bring those back though.

Otherwise yesterday was pretty nice. I'm really happy. Wooo!

Last night i drove by mcnally's to pick up my cell phone and go shopping, at some point in there i lost my wallet, so i didn't go shoppping, but we (caitlin and he and i...that sounds pedantic) came home (my wallet turned out to be in the car) and watched LOST (which was crazy and awesome) and then i dropped caitlin off and went shopping and then dropped michael and made it home around 1 and fell asleep in my contacts and my pants.

because of that, today i accidentally skipped school, and didn't wake up till Ian came to borrow the frisbee, i went with him for ultimate, where we played the best 3 on 3 game imaginable. i didn't know 3 on 3 could possibly be good. Tonight Sal and Mookie's opens for reals so that's going to be crazy, i'm kinda worried, but it should be an adventure and some good tips.

It's a Hit

Man, today was a super day, not super enjoyable, (although i did have fun) just super productive. I have earned no less than 50 dollars today, and recieved nearly 40. I painted the house, played ultimate frisbee, hung out with friends, went to work, gave ice cream to children, gave more ice cream to children, worked a lot more, cleaned up a lot, finally made it home around 12 and ate dinner and now i'm needing to start on my english themes, but i'im finding myself short on motivation.

I need to go to sleep. I worked it out and right now i'm getting nearly 8 dollars an hour, which is crazy awesome. I hope it keeps going that way. It should have been even more but apparently some people are crappy tippers, and about 1/2 of my tips (and all of it when i'm not in the scoop shop) comes from the tip pool, i could make twice as much. So that's pretty sweet. The way it's looking, my next pay check i may be able to buy a wii. That would be crazy cool. Alright, i'm going to either do my project, or attempt to take a power nap. Power naps are dangerous, because there's a high risk of just falling asleep, but i think at the point i am right now i can't really think enough to finish my project. I can type this garbage, but this hardly takes thought. Apparently writing makes me make decisions, hopefully i'll be back up in a few hours, for now i'm going to power nap.

Starting with a bang, and then some

I'm now done with my first real day of work at Sal and Mookie's New York Pizza and Ice Cream Joint. It was hard. I was a server assistant, which meant i bussed, i pre-bussed, i brought in dishes from the back, i walked around a lot. I think there was about 1 moment of non hectic moving around. But that's ok, i like busy jobs, it goes fast. After i clocked out i stayed to help caitlin close up, which basically meant sal and mookie's got a free hours work out of me, but that's ok, it wasn't hard, and i got a good ice cream cone. Tomorrow i work on Togo, which, considering we're not doing to-go orders until friday, should be pretty relaxed. It'll be a nice break. My feet are sore.

In other news, i got the stipend from the U, which means college will be relatively free. I sent in my national merit stuff, so we'll see what happens there, and i have work study for 5000, and i may have a job up there in addition to that. So it's possible that i'll come out ahead in all this. I doubt it though.

I'm not going to school tomorrow, little freshman's or sophomores have testing, so i would be in the gym all day, and that's not cool. I wonder where the word sophomores comes from, it really doesn't make any sense. it's probably latin or something.

My Eagle Board of Review is thursday, i'm sort of nervous, if i don't get my Eagle i'll feel pretty thoroughly like a failure. So we'll see how that goes, i'm hopeful. Suddenly there's an annoying dog barking at something outside my house.

It's the littlest things that make my day nice.

it's been too long. Life has been going strong for a little while now. I've almost finished all my training for Sal and Mookie's, so that's pretty much awesome. I get my first paycheck tomorrow, and it should be around 100 dollars or so. Gonna spend some money.

Prom was good, dinner was great, and inexpensive, and prom was good, much better than last year, and i after party'd a little bit. Drinking isn't really my scene, so i left at some point.

Lets see, this week not a whole lot has been happening, but i've caught up on school and worked a bunch, and haven't really had a chance to hang out at all. Today was my senior recital, which was exciting, i didn't play my best, but i played alright, and got kudos of all variety.

I don't have all that much to write about. Cami flew out today, that was kinda sad, but i'll see her fairly soon. I don't really know what i'm going to do this summer, cus my parents are probably moving and i have a job and all that. it's confusing. Anyway, i'm going to do nothing

until next time.

This Easter Morn

Ew, i'm updating this from Internet Explorer. It clicks when i click stuff. Anyways, today was a fun easter. There are our happy easter eggs. I worked really hard on one of them, and then the other three were pretty weak. We played King Egg, and i lost. I didn't win a single round. it made me sad, but i live. Lets see, what else.

Cami's in from Utah, that's fun, we're kicking butt and playing games, or watching movies and playing games...either or. I'm getting dangerously behind in my movie reviews, i have the illusionist, Men in Tights, Unbreakable, part of Superman, and some others, anyway, i'll take care of those later.

I already said i got a job i think, but i don't remember how much i talked about it. Orientation is on thursday, and a whole mess of people i know are going to be working there. It's awesome. I have to buy some shoes that don't slip on slippery floor. Here's a list of things i need to buy:
Cell Phone - I think this might be the first thing i get. I'll probably just hit up eBay or something
Cell Phone bill/other parental debt - Yeah, i'm in the hole quite a bit. Between phones bills, prom, and other things, it's a problem.
Watch - My watch is pretty busted up.
Wii - Originally i'd said this would be the first thing i was going to buy, but i think i need to do those things first, or at least the cell phone and some of the bills...
Wii games - that'll probably take care of one full paycheck.
Friendly Debt - I don't like being in debt to my friends, i owe josh 10, caitlin and meghan a few, and probably some others i'm not thinking of right now.
Presents - I know what i have in mind, it's just going to take a bit of Capital. I guess i should take care of this before everyone head stheir seperate ways...how sad.

That's about it. I'll think of more things while i have money, and i'm sure clothes and food will work their way in there. Oh, and part of my wages will be in daily cash tips from a tip pool. I like that.

That's about all i guess.

Easter Break Saturday Number 1/4


I love Google. I really do. The fact that they buy everything awesome is really just super convenient, because now i can do pretty much everything i'd ever want with pictures all with picasa. It organizes them for me, and then i can post them online, share them with friends, put them directly in blogger posts (like so) or do whatever. I have one account for gmail, blogger, picasa, hello, and the upload thing, as well as other things that i don't use but that i could if i wanted to, like froogle, and google chat, and all that. I chat through google, google desktop is pretty much the handiest thing in the world, so much better than windows search, i hope someday google will make a computer, cus then i'll buy it. It's like Google did what windows did except when Windows buys something it becomes crappy and awkward, while google makes things crazy awesome. Anyway, i think i've tooted googles horn enough for one little blog.

Today i went to see isaac in his play, The Bremen Town Rappers (seen right) and Slurping Beauty. That was pretty adorable, and it was worth the hour or so just for that picture. Luckily today i took the day off, so i could see it. Because murrah has it's moments of awesome.

Um, what else, in Seminary this morning we read something that i didn't know was in the Doctrine and Covenants, and that was cool, aaaand exerpt (what a silly word):

4. We believe that religion is instituted of God; and that men are amenable to him, and to him only, for the exercise of it, unless their religious opinions prompt them to infringe upon the rights and liberties of others; but we do not believe that human law has the right to interfere in prescribing rules of worship to bind the consciences of men, nor dictate forms for public or private devotion; that civil magistrate should restrain crime, but never control conscience; should punish guilt, but never suppress the freedom of the soul.
9. We do not believe it just to mingle religious influence with civil government, whereby one religious society is foster and another proscribed in its spiritual privaleges, and the individual rights of its memers, as citizens denies.

Anyway, in my semi-concious state of 7am i thought that was pretty cool, and decided i would post it on my blog because of that.
Well that's all, i'm supposed to do my homework to make up for missing school today, and i need to clean my room. Cami comes in tomorrow, so i suppose it ought to be presentable.

Cogito Ergo Rego.

Everyday i love you less and less

Nobody updates their blogs, it makes my life more boring.

I've been feeling very collegiate lately. I set up my U email account, and my U id account homepage deal. I joined the University of Utah facebook network, and i've started to come to terms with the fact that i know where i'm going to college.

All this looking forward to college though is making highschool worse and worse. Really only one month left, and then exams and then summer. I can't wait. Cami comes in a couple days, that's going to be mad fun. I got nothing to say, chow (or ciao, as those people who aren't dumb say)

Sunday, April 1, 2007

Well, conference today was good. I finished the things they carried, which ended kinda abrubtly, and too soon to keep me from getting bored in the two hours between sessions. Saturday i had MMTA, and i think i did alright in that. We'll see though. My last MMTA ever. crazy crazy.

Lets see, other news. I got my report card back and i'm somehow failing government, if i don't pull that up i'm going to have to do summer school, that kinda sucks. We'll see what i can do about that. Also, i think i'm going to ask Roberta to prom, she already has a ticket and it's just handy. I know it hasn't worked out well in the past, but i think this'll be different.

Still no word on the job front, they said they'd call me, hopefully i'll hear about that. I want a job a lot.
