well seeing as how it's been about month since my last post I'll try to put up something interesting since then. ummm... what has happened.
well last Sunday i was finally ordained an elder after being 18 for 6 plus months. so that was cool.
umm.. i have been keeping up in my classes which include
math 1050 or also known as college algebra trig which i already took in high school
English 1010 or known as CP english which again i took in high school.
OSS 1400 or computer tech which i took again in high school
intermediate Frisbee which i'm surprisingly not the best one in that class
Connections which is already finished so that's done
Concert band which i really haven't signed up for nor will i sign up for in the future
so that's about it for me

Weird Dream
so today or rather this morning i had one of the weirdest dreams i could have ever had, now i don't know anything about symbolism about this dream but here it goes.
it started out just like a normal day in provo, everything was fine it was a nice cool autumn morning when i heard the news that grampa spencer just had to go into the hospital for some unknown reason to. now with this it brought back a lot of memories of the day that he went in to the hospital for the last time. so i continued on my dream not saying anything to anyone just to see if it was that day, and unfortunately it was that same day. now this lead me to a big problem in my mind. should i tell everyone what will happen or should i let it play out just like it did in real life. so the day continues we end up in the hospital and everyone is debating on how things should be done. for some strange reason dad asks me what we should do and at that point i tell him what's going to happen and then for some strange reason everyone looks at me, like i'm some voodoo doctor. and so i tell them the bleak news of what's going to happen and they could either continue just like it happened in real life or we could pull the plug then and save time and maybe save someone else.
at about that time i hear the door shut outside my room and i look out the window to see Thad leave for school.
now that was just a really weird dream for me.
anyone else want share theirs

why i hate the fourth of july
well now that i have your attention i'll tell you of some very small but very annoying reasons why this 4th of july was the worst i have ever had.
let me start this series of events at the beginning of the week. so monday I went to visit my band buddy's just before there big four of july parade on friday. so that day mainly consisted of me just hanging out and relaxing before i had to go to work on the next day. tuesday started and i had to go to work from 7am to noon which wasn't all that bad and it was another relaxed day of hanging out with friends. now it's weds and again i don't have to work so i sleep in as much as possible and just hang out until I go to a movie party. and i meet my fatty (aka spencer hatfield) who was in europe for a month and a half leaving me with nothing to do.
so thursday the third comes around, the busiest time for the grocers and i have to work from 7am to 5pm which is the longest shift. now this day the freight was supposed to have come in that morning but it didn't so the owners make a few calls and the freight was now coming in at 10pm that night so. and me being so dumb i make it known that i want to help with the freight. so i get off at 5 go home and eat dinner and then go to party until i have to go back to work at 10pm. now that it's 10 i start to work freight and I never had done grocery freight before so i was a newbe at it so anyways. the store closes at 11pm and were still unloading palets to put on the right aisle. so we keep on working and were putting out a lot of things so it continues like this for the rest of the night. now I get hot really easily so at about midnight i take off my shirt and continue to work,( working makes me hot). as we continue at about 2 i am still really hot so the next logical thing is to take off my shoes and i continue to work now there were 5 of us freight guys doing this so it was going to take time to stock the entire store. well we finish between 3 to 3:30am. after this we take a victory celebration at dennys and eat a milkshake and i'm in bed by 4am.
now friday starts with dad yelling at me to get up for work and then mom comes in to shake me to get up. now the time they started this was at 6:45AM so i got a total of about 3 hours of sleep before i had to go back to work. so friday was the dairy's milk freight day, where we get all the milk for the next 2 days. so we started that day doing that but the 7 am checker didn't show up to work so i had the opertunity to get off my feet for a while.
now this day is the fourth of july. most people who shop today are picking up the things they missed from the day earlier, mainly buns and chips. the morning was pretty relaxed until the parade stoped, then all hell broke loose. i was in the front of the store bagging for people for a good 6 hours out of my 9 hour shift. (my shift was again the 7 to 5 shift) now this day we were well understaffed makeing it really difficult for me and everyone else to do anything. now in this state of insanity i kinda made up my mind that i was not going to take my hour break and just work for the ten hours total. but i did and i took a nap upstairs on the very nice soft carpet. no joke it was like laying on a foam matrees. so i came home and then went straight to bed only to be woken up again by the parents for some festivities with the family for which i was gald for.
now it's saturday and i am still exhausted from the previous days but i go to work and i help with the frozen freight and this day was increadably slow because i'm pretty sure that everyone in the valley had a hang over from the previous nights festivities. so i was able to just kinda organize the back. and able to do what i wanted. now again i was schedlued to work 7 to 5 but i got the last two hours off so that i could go and see cousin laurie after she came back from italy. for which i am impressed on what she was able to do. so after that i came home and crashed again and slept for a amazing 12 hours.
so that is my reason why i hated this years festivities.
mainly because i wasn't able to spend much time with my family and friends.

Room Cleaning
this is just a short little post
since graduating I decided to clean my room and get rid of all the things I was saving on to just in case I might need it later, and much to my suprise to me and my parents I was able to get rid of about 3 garbage bags worth of junk. so now it will stay clean for about 2 and a half weeks.
man, it feels good to get rid of all that stuff.

As a School Year Wraps Up....
first let me start this epic blog in the middle of april...
In the middle of april when i was a much younger person then i am now i got on to a plane that's desitnation was much farther then it's departure. but the story of this plane ride is not important, but the place where i ended up is the large and more important. this place that i ended up, was and is still called the nations capital. this part of story is about how the band went and performed at many a memorials and for a many people in this great city. on this great adventure we spent a total amount of 5 1/2 days in this city where we performed at nearly a dozen places and a total (including the parade) of nearly 12 million or so people. (and if you want me to go into larger detail if you would please talk to me, that would be great)
so as those days ended on that great saga a new one began... the quest to graduate.
but along the way to this great cause i was taken to other important tasks along the way, which included JR. Prom, Senior Ball, State Band and Choir and running track for timpview. along with working at Day's Market. so as you can see doing all of this in a period of one month can be a bit hecktic not only for me but also my parents.
Now lets start from the top JR. Prom
was a very hecktic day starting out, i decided to take a girl who wouldn't have gotten asked. but unfortunatly i had to ask 3 different girls before i could get a yes. now back to the actual day i had to wake up early to go to work at 7am and i conitued to work till 5pm where i then came home and took a shower and got ready for the date to come. unfortuanlly for me i was not able to take my date on a "day date" but i was able to get her to dinner with the rest of my group. after the dinner we then went ot the dance and danced the night away and finally getting her back home by 12:30 am so that was JR. Prom.
2nd Senior ball
this day was a friday the 2nd of may which seems like an eternty from now.
the moring i went to school to pick up my date and we came to my house for brunch and where we had waffles and fruit to our hearts content. after that we went up the canyon where were going to have lunch after playing in the park. but unfortunally for me and my date we had to leave to go to state band that afternoon. after that we went our ways so she and i could get ready. after picking her up and leaving for the dance we went to her mothers work so she could get a picture of us togther. Note: the time to get up to the dance for dinner was 7p.m. and at this time it was 6:50 and we were at roughly 2000N. and highway 89 in orem. and we arrived at sundance where this was being held at 7:06 on arriving we had discovered that the parking lot was full and the closest parking spot was up a hill and very muddy. well on arrival we had dinner which was well worth the 80 bucks that it cost me and my date. continued later with dancing till the wee hours in the morning, i later had to pick up my dates mom because she accidentally locked her keys in the car so i had to take her back home and bring her back. so she could go home. anyways i took my date home at the plesant hour of 1:30am that is the conculsion of that party.
Part 3
state band and state choir
as you have heard or read before state band was the same weekend as senior ball. in which we recieved superior rating ( the highest rating possible)
and for State Choir which was being held at our school of timpview. and also having the conflict of having my work scheduling me for the same time as this was being held. well we again got straight superiors and after that having to rush home to change and get to work an hour earlier. ( sometimes i wish i had clone of myself, but then again no.)
and finally
Running for our track team in which all of the track meets where held during a rain/snow/really cold days. except the final region track meet where i ran in the 400m "sprint" and the 200M along with doing the long jump. also on this day i had to sing in the choir concert. later that night in which i didn't have the opportuntiy of going home to change in to my tux. but i not being fast enough i wouldn't go to state and run so the final meet i went to was the last chance meet where i was able to run or participate in a total of 9 different events.
PS
inbetween all of this i was working at days mostly at night
