My 28th Day of high school.

Last week we went to a high school where all the colleges are, and I got info on them. Saturday, I played Warcraft II with Kevin Via the modem, and went to Trinity Hodges and Allen Cannons Baptism. My whole family exept me went to the ward campout. (I wish I went!)

My school had open house today. All my teachers said the norm. I'm trying to get into Pre-AP English. It's an advanced class and it adds 12 points to contribute toward your GPA. I want a near 4.0, and 20 or less in class rank. I want to go to a great college.

On Wednesday is our Temple Trip. I've been beating up on Russell harder than I should and don't think I should go, but Mom won't understand. She never does. Yesterday, During Stake Priesthood Mtg, Chris Hathaway said "You have a big pimple..." And I started laughing harder than I ever have. I couldn't listen to the talk because I was laughing!!??!!

Russell recieved the priesthood today. He went up to the stand like usual, but he looked at me. I puffed up my cheeks (showing he was fat) and gave him a mean look. I really don't like/love him. He's so annoying, fat, retarded, stupid, a nerd, geek, dork, crybaby, momma's boy, and has 3 friends. I HATE him. (By the way, he says NERD stands for Never Ending Radical Dude) I know, I'll like him when I'm older, but I don't think so. The only thing he's going to be good for is doing fast offerings, so I don't have to do them. When we were driving home, He kicked my suit coat, so I hit, kicked, and punched him. He was ballin crien' like a baby. Erik, Ben, and I were laughing. I was doing that baby voice I do to annoy everyone.

This morning, I went watersking. (again!) It was fun. We mostly went tubing, but I did go kneeboarding once.

Then, I got home and played Warcraft II on the computer with Kevin Roach via the internet.

After that, I went to dinner with Audrey Roach (16), Marla ____ (16), Gary Clews (16), Will Tetmyer (15), a girl (?)(16), Dayna Liddell (17), and Chad ____ (16). They're all a year or two older than me. But thats ok. I think it's fun. But the Resturant, Cracker Barrall, was terrible!

Soon After, I got a ride from Dayna (who moved to OK, but is back & visiting) and I went "to my First" church dance. It was fine, but... It was ok. I danced with Christy Artis a lot. She's really pretty. Bobby had a girl all over him!!!

I couldn't find Ronda, but the city she lived in was Midway!

My 18th Day of high school. In Debate, I didn't give my speech, (I wish I had) so I have to give it tommorow. Were writing a persuasive paper in English. My topic is how there should be another required course called "Cultural Learning." (Hint: It was the TAAS subject last year, and I got a 4 on that, so....)

Over 1 billion people watched Princess Diana's Funeral. Its so sad.

Today, I tried to find Ronda Embry. I just could not. The cities had no record phone number for her. I went on the Internet to find the actual city she was living in, which I think is Hillcrest, and found it. But then I called the city, and they didn't have a phone number. I just have to find her. She was so awesome. I don't want her to be a friend that I lose. I have to find her!

I'm REALLY Tired. This morning, I woke up a 4AM to watch Princess Diana's Funeral Parade. Then I watched her actual funeral. It really hit me that this is the first person that died, and I'm sad about it. I watched it over and over again on TV later at 9:00-1:00PM. Then I went to the Mall with Audrey, Kevin, and Connie Roach. Afer, we went to see Alicia Silverstones - Excess Baggage. (Dumb Movie) I'm really tired...

(I am watching Saturday Night LIVE!)

My 17th Day of High School. I went to the Library to pick up a newspaper because I forgot mine. But instead, I found newspapers reporting on Diana's Death. On one of the pages, there's a picture of Prince William. All the girls I've asked think he's a babe. He's 15 right now, and 6"1. I later took my newspapers on the bus, and everyone was asking to read one. One girl asked me why I collect newspaper. It's my hobby. Some people think It's weird. I want to meet Prince William One Day. And I will! This week, I've had what you might call a "Mormon Boost." I'm prouder to be a Mormon than ever before. Im reading a book called Ephraims Seed. Its about the last days of the Earth. Its a Mormon book. Seminary's going great. I actually like going to Seminary. And Tommorow, I'm giving a speech in Debate on perseverence. I'm telling the story of the Mormon Pioneers.
