Hard to believe

Michael McPhie is going to be leaving in the next couple days. He may not be back for a long long time. He graduated yesterday and now we no longer have the magical film genius to accompany us. take a look at this...

Finally

I think that I have had too many good experiences not to write them down here. Now, unfortunately I have to go through my memory and try to extract that which has happened over the last year and a half. Well, I'll try to work backwards.

I am moving out, kind of. I sold my contract for the spring/summer at campus plaza to Seth, my roommate. He can't buy my contract really though because he has one for fall and CP doesn't want him to buy mine. He's paying me under the table so my name is here. That means that I can stay here if I want to. Which I do. I like staying at CP. The problem is that there isn't enough space for me and my things here. I am moving it out and I'll be giving it to my mom for the three months that I'll be in VIENNA!!!

I'm sure that if I start doing something now I may actually come up with time to finish everything that I need to do. I just don't have much gumption so I think I'll spend my time equally wisely: I'm going to bed.

President Weipert

On the mission I had a hard time keeping up with all the different things I was supposed to do. I never disliked President Weipert even though it seemed like he was the one setting the "impossible" standards. I really did enjoy his company and his attitude toward the work. It was inspirational the way that he led the Paraguay Asunción North Mission. He worked harder than anybody and demanded that we give no less. It was hard to live up to his standards and although I don't think that I ever really did ,it was an experience to have had. I love the man, I love his wife Jen and I will miss him a lot. I haven't really communicated with them since the mission and I feel bad about it. I plan on at least sending an email every once in a while to Sister Weipert. She is one of the kindest people that I've met and she would like for all her missionaries to always keep in touch.
I have never really lost anybody that has been close to me. I would actually say that this is the closest friend or relative who has passed away. I was sorry that I couldn't get out to the funeral. I don't have the money to travel much, but when I can I will go visit his grave and also his family. I wish that there were more that I could do. I will just have to pray for Hermana Weipert and her family. I know that I will see El Presidente after this life. I will live a life that is worthy of the kingdom he is in with our Heavenly Father.

der 20 Januar 2009

So Today I woke up with 45 minutes until my nutrition class. Luckily I had finished the homework for that before I went to bed. I had two hours until my next class and I had to finish two papers and buy some things at the bookstore. I actually finished the second paper in class. I had to buy a scrub top and 2 name tags. That was surprisingly cheap. Then I went to my German class. I forgot the entire weekend to take a ridiculously easy quiz over the weekend so I finished it hastily before we corrected it and missed a lot.
In other news I am reading Voltaire's Candide and it's pretty hilarious.

I woke up this morning after having slept near the fan. I suggest that no person ever sleep near a fan because it will dry out the sinuses and in the morning the pain in the nasal passages will be unbearable. I still cannot swallow without a lot of pain and it's 6:30 pm. Right now we're having a break from my Art History class at the Salt Lake Center for BYU. It's interesting but I'm having a lot of trouble keeping my eyes open. Last night I went to bed at 4 and I woke up at about 9, so I'm beat to say the least.
Last night I was at home after family home evening and my friend left to get her phone. I thought she was coming back but when she didn't I texted her and told her I was going to the library to study. She ended up saying that she wasn't doing well and couldn't talk to me. I didn't know where she was or what she was doing and I was pretty worried. When I was in the library she sent me a message and I ran home to see her. She was really broken up about another friend of hers. I wish I could get her to see how good a person she is. She is having the problem of seeing herself as she thinks others see her.
