New glove

I got my new baseball mitt today, it is pretty nice, but definately not a Rawlings. I played catch with it today, and it is pretty stiff, but overall I think I like it. I did a powerpoint presentation today for my computers class, that was the last assignment in that class before the final. I have an easy A in that class, so I am pretty happy about that. The only class that I am pretty worried about the final is in Philosophy. I am not good at understanding everything in that class. From what he said today, the final is going to be a lot harder than the other tests we have taken. At least we have the whole week off the week before finals so I can cram as much as I can in my noggin.
Here are some more pictures:

Back to work

So, today has been a good day, I only had 2 classes, Institute, and Art History. So basically I only had one real class so that was nice! I dad and I bought my plane tickets home, and we got a good deal! I am going on jetBlue, and it is only costing $250.00! that is a steal compared to the other carriers. The next cheapest flight I could find was $383.00 from Delta. I am proud of my findings!! I only have 18 days left before I come home by the way! I got my film developed from my other disposable camera here are some of my favorites from that roll.
I dont know know what this orange stuff is... weird

Killer hat hair
The hill is a lot steeper than it looks

My day and stuff

I basiclly have run out of room on my hard drive, so I am trying to figure out how to fix it, but I am not smart, and I probably will do more damage than good. The basic problem is my music. I am doing a defragmentation right now, so hopefully that clears up some room for me. Thats about all I have to say about that.
I am back in VA and I spent a total of 13 hours traveling today. (including the 2 hours I lost in the time change, airport waiting, etc.) Pretty big day I would have to say.
So Dad and I got all the way to the airport, and I realized that I forgot my keys at home. Not a god feeling at all. We called mom, and she made a mad dash to the airport, and dad went and met her, and brought them to me just in time for me to wait in line for security and just make the flight. Pretty nerve-racking experience. I dont recommend it. I was close to pulling out hair, but it turned out to work, so no big deal.
The end.

My talk

Well I just finished preparing my talk. It should go pretty well, it wasnt a hard subject to talk about I think. I will fill you in on how it goes.
Last night I got some good sleepin'. I went to bed around 1:00 so that wasnt too great, but I slept until around 1:00. I was so happy becuase I usually dont sleep in very long. I was out like a light last night too, Kellen was playing nintendo in the other room, and I just was sick of it so I went to bed and I fell asleep almost instantly, which is almost miraculous for me. I always take forever to fall asleep. Anyway, I am glad I went to bed, because they stayed up until 3:00 playing a football game. They are crazy they are playing as we speak actually.
Tonight was the Stake General Priesthood Meeting. It was a good one, I enjoyed it. I it is strange how small the stake is here though, it only went to one overflow, and the stake center is the exact same church design as the Dunsinane church, so there werent many guys there. It make me remember that the last time I went to a Stake General Priesthood meeting back home I spoke! I had to speak to a lot more people than was there today, thats for sure! I had never spoken in front of that many people before. But I dominated, so it was all good.
I need to go to bed.
Travis sorry I didnt write back to you today, I always just leave the computer on so it looked like I was online, but I wasnt there. Too bad. I liked the song though, much better than the original!
ok bye

Some pictures of the leaves on the way to Richmond





Our soccer team lost today. They made it to the semi's but they lost. Everyone is good though because they are mostly all on the soccer team, and our team didnt have any soccer players and we went far, so that was pretty cool. I couldnt play the last 2 days of games because of my bum toe. Oh well.
I have been listening to a lot of like "chill" music lately. Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Matt Costa, Donavon Frankenreiter, G. Love and basically anyone that sounds like Jack Johnson. Good Stuff.
The End

MY TOE!!

So I was playing intramural indoor soccer on monday night and I did a slide tackle, which led to a very painful experience. Somehow my big toe got affected by this offensive attack. I did something to the ligaments. I had volleyball on tuesday, but I couldnt play so after class I had the trainer look at it (he is my volleyball teacher) Its almost a sprain but I dont know. He just told me to stay off of it for a while. Pretty weird. It hurts pretty bad, its way swollen and it is bruised too. I took a picture of it, and I will get that on here asap because it is cool looking. Now I kind of know why when football players sit out a game because of turf toe or something like that. It HURTS!! I cant even bend my toe at all. Its funny.

This is someone else's dirty grubby toe that I found on google, but you get the idea. It actually kinda looks like this but with more bruise

The Streak is OVER!!

Wow so it has been a few days since my last post. I have had a pretty busy weekend and stuff. Friday, we played b-ball, and then we went and watched Nacho Libre. Good movie. "Its the best, I LOVE it!" ha ha. Saturday I went bowling with a huge group it was way fun. There were 17 of us. I did increasingly worse after every game. Oh well it was fun. Sunday was a good relaxing day, and then we went to our coach's house and had dinner and watched football. That was fun to get together.
On friday, we had a baseball meeting, and one guy was 15 minutes late. Late = BAD NEWS!!!
Today we had to do ladders in the gym in under 27 seconds. That is absolutely impossible. I couldnt even do it. We did about 10 of those, and remember this is all at 6am. Well to put it mildly, we had about 5 people throwing up. Not fun. I broke my streak of 6 years without throwing up. It technically wasnt a real throw up, I did some dry heaves, and then on the last one, about a tablespoon's worth of stuff came out. DANG! I had a good streak!
The only funny thing about that is after dinner, I was telling Kellen about my little streak, and we talked about the Seinfeld where Jerry had a 13 year streak. Sure enough, that episode was on 20 minutes later!! What a strange coincidence!!
Another funny thing about that episode, a different part of that episode Elaine was talking about how a guy named Alex that sat next to her in Art History in college was annoying, and my friend Alex sits next to me in Art History, and he was watching tv with us!! CRAZY!!
Tonight is soccer. Pretty pumped about that.
Thats about all I have to say about that.
See ya.

LOST!!!

WHY IS LOST NOT ON UNTIL FEBRUARY??!!! I hate tv they do this to you on prupose just to make eveyone mad. I cant take it anymore. Man im going crazy, tv is all there is to do here! ha ha ha. Prison Break is pretty good so far, if that stops until february I will rage though. Stupid tv.
I am a little aggrivated with itunes. I preordered a cd last week, and I keep trying to download it but there is something wrong with it and it jsut says to try back later, but it still doesnt work. I dont appreciate it.
I think I am going to bed. I got a good nap in today after class from like 11:00 until around 3:30. It was a good one. I think that is a sign that I need more sleep though, because I was out. I usually dont take very long naps. So without further adieu, I am going to bed.

These are both from the State Playoffs against Jordan. I thought they were pretty cool.

So today I took a test in Art History. Not good. I definately didnt do good on it. It feels like i didnt even have time to study for it. Last week was pretty busy. But it was harder than the other ones have been. Everyone didnt think that they did too good on it.
Yesterday I drove to the airport again to pick up Alex. It was a good trip. I liked being able to be by myself for a while. It was a good way to relax and unwind.
Today was the first home basketball game, it was a good one. We won 90 something to 78ish. It was a fast paced intense game. It was our first win too so that was good. They are 1-2 now. It was cool because the gym is small and the ceilings are low, so it got pretty loud in there. Good stuff. Its raining right now, it rains like in a mist, but it just comes down way hard. Really different than back home.
I dont really have anything else to say right now so see ya.

Stuff



Well its been a while, but things are about the same around here. I have been pretty busy with homework and dodgeball. As soon as I can, I will put some pictures up on here, I just have to finish out my camera. My t-shirt for dodgeball is pretty sweet though! Friday was the first time that I didnt get really any sleep. I had dodgeball thursday night and that didnt get over until 12:00 and the, and I had to finish up a presentation that I was doing in Art History the next day and I stayed up until 2:00 doing that and then I had to get up at 5:30 that morning for lifting. I was so tired, I slept through one of my classes and I slept through the devotional. It was crazy! After my last class I took a really good nap though. It all works out.
Last night was pretty cool, we went to Roanoke and went to TGI Friday and then we went and saw The Prestige. That movie was AWESOME!!! I really liked it, I want to see it again so I can pick up some more things that I missed. It was a fun day. We had a pretty big group that went so it was fun.
Tomorrow I am going back to Richmond to pick up Alex, so that will be pretty interesting. I had a good trip when I went on Thursday, I actually enjoyed being away for a while. Pretty relaxing. I like driving long distances, I guess I get that all from Dad, becuse Mom doesnt like it. I think that is funny!
Time is winding down until I get home! I cant wait!!

I dont really have anything to write about. Hmmm tomorrow I am driving Alex to Richmond to the airport. It is a 2 1/2 hour drive. I am actually kind of looking forward to it.
