Starting School Just Perfectly

School starts again next week.  And you know what that means--I'm going to do something awesome. And by awesome, I mean slightly awful.  But that's okay.  Life is for having adventures.  And by adventures, I mean consecutive awkward episodes where people just don't know how to help you.

Awkward Episode #1

I was able to be a part of homeless week.  Yeah!  It's that wonderful time in Provo where students are required to move out of their apartments and aren't allowed to move into their new ones until a week later.  Awesome!

I didn't sleep in my car even though I really wanted to just to say that I did.  I slept in a previous roommate's apartment.  And, I went home for a few days.  And then, I slept at the home of my step-family's cousins.  My stuff is in a few places.  Also, I have too much stuff, so if you want a bunch of random junk, raise your hand.  (Unfortunately, I can't see you raising your hand, so you may have to contact me differently.)

Awkward Episode #2

I don't have a phone right now.  Below is the email that I sent to a few family members (the ones that contact me the most).  You'll have to click on the picture to see and read it.

Awkward Episode #3
I haven't really had another awkward episode yet.  But, it's me we're talking about, so I'm sure something will come up.  I'm sure I will do something weird.  We still have half a week before school starts.  That is plenty of time.

"Look for Your Spouse" Challenge Day #5-7

Sorry I was so bad at the last few days.  I wasn't home much.  I had typed up Day 5, but it didn't get posted.  So, here are the remaining days.

Day 5: Pray Really Hard

This is a concept that I used a lot on my mission to find people to teach.  I also learned from those experiences that praying doesn't necessarily get you what you want, but it does help you learn what God wants.

Today, I figured that I would pray really hard to find my spouse.  Sometimes people expect to find their spouse like a game that I used to play on the computer.  It's called Imo and the King.

Imo is given several challenges by the king.  One of the challenges is to pick out the king's daughter among a hoard of girls.  Imo met a genie on the way to the king, so the genie helps him pick out the daughter.  The interactive part of the story shows the girls with light shining in a circle around her.

If only finding my spouse was like that.  It would be the best to just be able to pick out a boy from a hoard and know who it should be with a circle of light.

Another story that I wish praying for a spouse would be like is the story of Rebekah and Isaac.  The servant prayed that whoever gave him water to drink at the well would be the wife of Isaac.  And, so it was. 

Day 6: Go to Class

I think this one can be summed up in a series of pictures.

Word of advice: don't save any general ed classes for your senior year.

Day 7: Give up

I didn't want to do this anymore, so I didn't do anything.  I don't think anyone was going to read all of the posts anyway.  Maybe I should have done something like bird watching except looking for men instead of birds. I give up.  Maybe someday, but seven days in a row is just much too much of trying.

Conclusion: I am bad at this whole looking for a spouse thing.  Maybe next year.
