Update Time!

So, its been a little while since I have updated anyone that reads this little blog, so I guess its about time.

Last you knew, I was getting ready for the semester to start and fearing it. Turns out that the semester wasn't that difficult, despite the efforts by my teachers to make it tough. My grades weren't the highest that I have had, but not too bad. Definitely room to improve. The best thing about the end of the semester was that I was able to finally be done with physics. Physics was probably the worst college experience that I have had so far, but I was able to finish it and have decent grades from it. I am just so glad that it is over!

I finished up my calling as a pledge trainer in my chapter of Sigma Gamma Chi (SGC), and then was extended an new calling on the Interchapter Council (IC) as the Campus Relations Officer. Basically the calling entails being a liaison between SGC and the rest of campus. I will also help out with any issues that the individual chapters might have. It will definitely keep me busy. The unfortunate thing is that this wont be the only thing I have going on over the next year. As of last week, I was called to be the 2nd counsellor in the Elders Quorum. Now I have been a counsellor before in the Presidency, and I didn't really do that much, but that was in a singles ward, not a student ward, so I might be a little more busy.

So, just to keep you up to date, that is 2 stake callings. To add to that, I will be continuing to be working at the Veterans Hospital, 20 hours a week, and As of last week, I will be working in a PT clinic on campus working with a Diabetes group. I will be responsible for logging blood pressures, blood sugars, and heart rates when the patients come into the clinic, and then before they leave, just to make sure they are within an acceptable range. This is going to be another 6-10 hours on top of my current 20 hours at the VA.

That brings us to two stake callings, and two jobs. As if this wasn't enough, I am going to have a full school schedule that is going to require a fair share of time in order to maintain a high GPA so I look good when I am applying to PT schools. That is another thing that is going to be keeping me busy during the summer, filling out applications for the various PT schools. There are a few schools that I am wanting to go to, but most all of them are due in November. I am also taking a couple classes from SLCC in order to get me ready for some of the classes that I will be taking in the fall at the U. They aren't too tough, but it kinda sucks taking classes during the summer. They aren't too tough, so I guess its not too bad. I can look at it as preparation for PT school, as I will be taking classes during each summer for the next 3 years.

So the last time consuming thing in my life is the most enjoyable one. I have been dating a girl for the last 3 months, and its wonderful! Her name is M'kynzi, and I just think the world of her. Hopefully this will be something that lasts for a while too, but who knows. I was joking with one of my friends, that if I got married, that would eliminate both of my callings! But since it has only been 3 months, that isn't really something on my mind. She is a great girl, and she makes me happy! We have been just having a lot of fun being sarcastic and teasing each other constantly. That's one of the best things about her! I can tease her, and she can handle it! Not many of the girls I have dated have been able to do that! I get it from my brothers, they were always doing that with me, and it has just become part of my personality.

I got to go to St. George a couple of weeks ago with some of the people from my ward and M'kynzi came. The main reason was so that we could go golfing. One of the guys that went, is the step grandson of a guy that owns a major part of a golf course down there, so we got to go for a considerable discount. While I was down there, I was able to see Mike and Danielle. Danielle has moved back down there, and was living with Mike even though they weren't married. By the time I got down there Danielle had moved out, and was just living life. I was so good to see them! I love them so much, and I worry about them so much, but I know that Heavenly Father will take care of them.

Overall, I am super happy and I love life! I have been riding my motorcycle (when the weather allows. It has been raining nearly everyday for the last month.) and loving it! I know that I will be busy over the next year, but I am OK with it. I know that if I put God first that everything that is going on in my life will go the way it is supposed to. It such a relief to know that. It takes away a lot of worries in my life.

Anywho, that has been my life for the last 6 months, and I am excited to see how the next year plays out! There will be some big things happening, and I am excited about it!
