A Little Bit of Everything

To all my avid readers(if there be any) I sincerely apologize for not updating recently. I am still getting used to the whole blog thing. Two weeks ago I participated in the Relay for Life night at the Blackfoot High School track. I stayed all night with my team, and I only slept one hour. It was a lot of fun, and the money put toward the cure for cancer was no small amount. That is a great time for a community to come together. My next week was spent at girl's camp in Pasa la Coma. It was a very spiritual week, and it was a party. I guess that sums up every year at girl's camp. I had a lot of girl's in my ward who came thay are inactive and struggling in their personal lives. I found that all of these girl's seemed to change my life with their warm hearts and loving spirits. Lately, I have been playing a lot of softball too. This week we went to the Malad tournament and lost every game by a landslide. I still think I learned a lot and became better this week. It has been a pretty good summer so far, and I still have a lot to look forward to.

Cruel and Unusual Punishment

The one thing I hate most is when somebody tells me the ending to a really good book or movie before I have even gotten to that part. The other day, my friend Annie noticed that I was reading the Pendragon series. I had started reading them about a year earlier, but I ended up taking a break to read a book for a different class. I quit on the fourth book, and I was currently reading the fifth one.
Annie looked at the book and said,"That's a really good book series, but I hate the ending because it turns out that he is in a coma the whole time. It's all just a dream."
WHAT!? After I got over the shock of  the horrible ending, I tried to convince myself she was lying.  The whole book series is TEN BOOKS. I wasn't even half way. Needless to say I was a little more than irritated. Not only had she told about the ending, she had told me about a bad ending that would ruin the rest of the series for me. I believe this is a form of cruel and unusual punishment. I will be in agony just knowing that it's a waste of suspense and paper.
For all those who are ever inclined to tell someone the end of a good story before they have figured it out for themselves, save yourselves the trouble of losing a couple teeth and friends. There is absolutely nothing worse than having a good book or book series ruined.

Kicking Off Summer(Literally)

Freshman year officially ended on May 31st, and I didn't want to waste a minute of summer. That night I went to my friend Aubrey's house for night games. While playing capture the flag, I became injured. Let's just say that when somebody is using a large plastic table as a shield, you probably shouldn't start running full speed at them. The table was dropped unintentionally in my path, and all I could do was brace for impact. This is what it looked like after healing for a couple days.

If anybody wants to know what I was thinking, my thoughts were,"What are the chances of me missing all the protrusions they call legs??? Hey, maybe I'll get lucky...AHHH!!!" It took awhile until I limp off for treatment. Aubrey kindly cleaned up the wound with iodine, and gave me a big Band-Aid.'
Note to Self: Never run full speed behind somebody holding something with large protrusions, you will regret it. I only kicked the leg of the table twenty feet with my shin.
