Questions of Life and the countdown

*Random thought of the Day: We as human beings, often ask the question to many things, that is "WHY?" Small children and animals are often known to ask this so called "WHY?" Ok, so others ask too....Some of these questions are:
~Why do banks charge a fee for 'insufficient funds', when they already know there is not enough money?
~Why does someone believe you when you say there are 4 billion stars, but have to check when you say the paint is still wet?
~When we are in the store and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, 'It's alright?" Well it really wasn't alright so Why don't we say "That really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?"
~In Winter, Why do we try to keep the house as was in the summer, when we complained about the heat?
Wow. So we are all idiots apparently? Its interesting the way the mind thinks, or rather, doesn't think. That's why I at one point wanted to go into Psychology..to understand the human mind. Good thing I stopped right there! I might have gone nuts! Well-these were a great laugh anyway(: The End.*


My last couple of weeks have been good. Time is really going by super fast! 3 weeks from today, I return to Thatcher for school. I went down there last weekend and took my online astronomy final. ah...it was rough! I pulled a C in the class. That was rough too-kinda. Somehow I missed the fact that there was a study guide to use. I studied, but just my own stuff. Dumb really! Oh well, I passed the class and no longer have science classes to worry about. My teacher was really great and I learned a lot! It was fun to go to Thatcher. I got to hang out with my roommates and see a couple of other friends. I miss my bed!

This week, I went out to lunch and a movie with my mom. If you haven't seen "The Proposal"-I reccomend it! Its such a cute movie. Has Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in it! Way funny!
I also got to spend some time with my adorable nephew Nolan! His grandma brought him up for a few days so I took him for a few hours a couple days. He is a crazy kid and talks a lot! At 4 and a half-he has the mind of a 6 year old and will be starting kindergarten this fall! He had fun with his Uncle Dallas too(:





In other "school" news, I was able to get completely out of taking math again.
So, last semester, I took a math class that I'd already taken once. I got a D both times. Ridiculous really.....the thing is, I tutored a lot this past semester and still didn't quite get the whole math idea or something. So, after discussion with my EAC counsler and the Dean of Students, we decided I should take a learning disability test just to see if that was the problem. So, due to some connections of my mom, I found a "psychologist/resource teacher" and took a test for every subject pretty much. The results came out and I had some pretty low scores in a few things, particularly Math Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. See, I learn by repitition mostly. Things have to go over and over in my head for me to remember or understand them. At least with things like math. Give me a piece of music-I can memorize it in a week if needed. Math and science and some other stuff-not so much. So, I now have a "documented learning disability" in math. Kinda pathetic, but I'm ok with that because I have very little patience for math anymore. So maybe this is the easy way out, but really-I need to just chilax from math...for good(: I will be replacing math however, with a basic computer class. For this fall semester anyway.
Here is my entire schedule for Fall of 2009!
MON/WED/FRI
Computers 103
Music Theory III

I'm excited to start school...mostly(: I'll be returning to my same job working for the business department so that should be good. 22 Days baby!
Work at the theatre has been good. Unfortunantly they have cut everyones hours, but money is money these days and things are working out! Plus its nice having the benifit of free movies when I'm not working(: I've now seen every good movie thats out that I wanted to see! Free of charge!
Anyway, I'm glad I have the weekend off and some free time. I attended the temple again this morning and it was pretty awesome! I went with the youth, as well as my friend Rebecca, in my mom's ward. It was cool. I love being at the temple!
Hope you all have a wonderful week! Until next time......
