Due to popular demand, and a little extra time,

I am giving another update. I was just gonna hold off on those cause I'll be home next week but I guess people start to worry when I don't send an email out or something. I've just been busy. This week I had two tests, one in Cs 100 and one in Calc 2, two papers, both for my moral leadership class plus a project that we are supposed to be doing but my group and I are a little behind, plus another paper due on Monday in book of Mormon class. On top of that I have work, which is actually relaxing compared to the rest of my life at the moment, plus in Calc 2 we are studying Power Series along with Taylor and Maclaurian series. The teacher spent the whole class time lecturing on these things and it was all way over my head, I just took note furiously and hoped to get it later. Its coming... slowly. So other than that life is great, the BYU vs UTAH game is tomorrow... so thats pretty exciting. Even more exciting is that thanksgiving is next week... and I get to go home and ride dirtbikes and sleep on the trampoline and watch movies and whatnot... It will be great.
Ok, whats with our family and facebook, its like everyone all at once decided to get a facebook account... first of all, since when would our family do that? thats like completely not what we do... second of all, I got like fifty billion "Your Related!" requests that if you say yes you have to fill out all of the other fifty billion people you are related to and that takes forever, and if you say no it keeps popping back up! Aaaa.... not to say in anyway that you guys should like stop using facebook to keep in touch and all... its great for that... I just have to make a request... please no more "Your Related" requests...
Sincerely,
James

life... (continued)

Well life keeps moving on, midterms are now over but finals are just around the corner. I still need to go food shopping, I haven't done that for over a month... its hard not having a car. I also discovered that I need to buy myself a new pair of jeans, my favorite ones (I bought them off Shaun for 5 bucks over a year ago) I can hold up to the light and literally see through them, they have a few more holes than they used to... its so sad, such a good pair of jeans. Anyways, Its raining right now (...blasted weather...) just enough that I busted out my umbrella, and its just cold enough I wanna wear a jacket. So ya.
Richard went to the MTC Wednesday, it seems like he is leaving but really he is closer to me than when he lived at home... weird. Anyways, I went to the call center on Sunday... almost expecting to see Richard but I was disappointed... I guess the MTC is bigger than just the building that the call center is in. All well...
Anyways, it turns out that I will be coming home for Thanksgiving. I was asked quite a few times about that and i told everyone no because I didn't really wanna bother with finding a ride, paying for gas and traveling in a packed car with weird people i don't know. It wasn't something I would look forward to. But just out of curiosity, I checked the ride board to see who was going to Sacramento, and lo and behold, the Heathcoats were the first ones to pop up. what a coincidence, people i know. (funny story... so that conference a while back, where the apostles talked about prop 8, I was sitting in a room full of people in the chapel behind myself just waiting for the meeting to start, thinking to myself that i didnt know anyone there -since I was actually not at my assigned meeting place- and I overhear the voice behind me expressing exactly the same thing that I was thinking... and so i turn around to find that the voice was john Heathcoat... Its a small world) So i called them up and talked with Jennifer for a bit, it turns out that they are driving a Hybrid...(so it saves on gas) plus with lowing gas prices it wont be too much for me to handle to drive down an extra time.
So thats it for me, for now.... stay tuned, I'll have more updates later (and pictures too)

What Luck!

Ok... so the other day I was in my room about to go to sleep, when I see this rubix cube on my roommates desk, so just for kicks I start messing with it and in like a minute I had only three colors out of place... so I start to try and finish it but after a few tries of screwing it up I decide to just put it back with the 3 colors out. So I get it to where i thought i had it but when I looked at it I jumped back -almost dropping the cube- IT was Solved! By accident.. pretty cool. Then on the way to class this morning, I was just walking -zoned out completely- to class, but because I wasn't paying attention I went the wrong way and there were these people just giving out doughnuts and hot chocolate! Amazing! (sure i was late for class but the teacher was just telling a funny story, the people beside me filled me in) Anyways, then when i went home, Lo and Behold I found that Sherry had sent me a package full of goodies! Whoa, with this luck, I just know I'm probably going to get a calling or something... Its just going to happen... thats the way life works.

Life... or something like it....

This blog thing is harder than it looks. And Im Not Getting It... I just made this post but it turns out that i posted it on my book of mormon class' blog, then i had to figure out how to get it off, then how to get into this one. I didnt realize i made two accounts...But anyways, Angela's blog is pretty sweet... one day maybe. Till then, we will all just have to stick with the good old black background in This one. Anyways, an update on me, I just took a Calc 2 Test, -the first one i got a D on- and so far -meaning the multiple choice section- its lookin like im gonna get a B. Whahoo for me! Anyways, other than that I got a 77 on my last computer science test, which is ok cuz Ive got 110% on all of the labs that ive done so Im not worried. I got an 88 on my Moral Leadership test... ( i guess i didnt get my morals straight ). Im just sayin this cuz its midterms and ive had tests and papers all week... Anyways, Richards farewell talk was great! He sang -well sorta- Sripture Power, that keeps you safe from sin.... it made me laugh... anyways, thats if for

Definitely a worthy cause...

Students! Teachers! Parents!

Join the School Sick-Out!

Tuesday Oct. 21st

Students, teachers and parents are going to take action regarding Proposition 8 on the same day... Tuesday, October 21st. This story about the California Teachers Association ("CTA") donating $1 Million to preserve same-sex marriage made many people ill.

Therefore...
1. STUDENTS Many children are coming down with something. Many California public school students are going to be sick and ABSENT FROM SCHOOL on Tuesday, October 21st. This would be a good time for them and their parents to write letters to the editor about how they feel about CTA's donation. Many are puzzled why the professional group hired to educate them is spending so much money to push their own social agenda.

2. TEACHERS With all those students out sick on Tuesday, October 21st, many California public school teachers intend to DEMAND $300 POLITICAL REFUNDS from their union dues using these instructions here: http://www.nrtw.org/special-legal-notice-california-teachers-how-get-least-300-refund-cta-nonbargaining-expenses
The magic number is 3,333. If that many teachers demand political 0D refunds from their union on the same day, CTA will notice because the total amount will equal the million dollars it wasted fighting to neuter marriage. If these 3,030 teachers turn around and donate their $300 refunds to Yes on 8, CTA's whole cockamamie scheme will have backfired completely.
3. PARENTS Many parents of public school children are going to try to counter CTA's meddlesome donation on Tuesday, October 21, 2008, by DONATING $35, $50 OR $100 TO ProtectMarriage.com here: https://www.icontribute.us/protectmarriage/initiative/main . Make sure to put "CTA" in the referral box!

Look... Its a blog!

well, I had some extra time today (and getting some inspiration from my sister), i decided to make a blog.
