Happy Friday.

Today seemed like such a long day, at least while classes were still going. I also felt sick, had a head ache, and felt so lazy for a little bit. Things sure did pick up though. 


I went with Jen to the D.I. People, I love this store. She needed to look for something for her brother, I had nothing I needed to look for or buy. I ended up getting basketball shorts, and a wooden cabinet thing.. I don't know what it's called, it has two shelves, a little drawer, and it hangs on the wall. Anyway, I'm going to sand it down and paint it. I have quite the creative side, we'll see how it turns out. Although I am saving it for another weekend, so it may be a while till you see pictures. 


Next, Lauren and I went to Kevin's. He made us spaghetti, and corn. We brought salad, oh and he also had a cantelope. It was such a great meal! Lauren and I started Oreo truffles(easiest. recipe. ever.), and stuck them in the freezer. A little while later two other boys showed up (Kevin's cousin, and friend, now our friends too). They ate some food and talked while, we finished the truffles while playing Kinect on the Xbox. It was Incredibly fun! Ah, I can't stand it. We had the truffles and started the Even Stevens movie. After a while, they had to leave. So Kev, Laur and I finished the movie, then we left. 

Some done, some not.

 oh, and one of the boys may or may not have gotten my number. kinda sorta.
Also we are planning a camping trip with said boys.
Excited? Yes. Much so.

The boys next door.

There's Josh, Mike, Dallas, Steve, Ryan, and Ryan. We're almost best friends. At least Josh, Mike, and I are. Kinda, sorta. Josh tried to eat dinner with us, but the bishop told us to not let boys "hang out" with us and eat the food we make. He also tries to go to bed early, but fails most every night when we are all talking. Mike makes funny faces at us, and walks off.

It's cool. 

I will.

This year I am going to do so well in school. I will get good grades, I'm determined. I have been going to and from classes, I spent three hours in the library, spent four hours on my computer doing two math assignments (finishing both in the nick of time, getting a 100, and an 80. Boom Yah!), and have sufficiently studied 14 pages of Human Phys. complete with highlighted portions and my own notes (in other words, my translation of what it means). All in the last two days.

I will get into a nursing program, and however long it takes, I will become a nurse. I want to make a difference in the lives of others, I want to feel like I am able to be of help to someone.

At some point I will also go to Africa. I know, why Africa? Well, to be honest, I have no idea. I've always wanted to go to Africa, and when I go, I will volunteer myself, offer every service I can and am able to. I want to have that experience, and be able to see the world through my own eyes.

Next on the list is a mission. I've already researched, and have decided that I want to go. I'll prepare myself now, and if some lucky guy makes his way into the picture. So be it. If it's right, it'll work. Therefore, if I don't go in the next year and a half, I will go with him when we are old and have hearing aids, or something like that...

Last, not least.. I will get married in the temple. I will be sealed in the temple to my prince charming. Whenever it is right, he will come into my life, sweep me off my feet, and we will be happy together. Right now though, I'm okay waiting. 

Dreams don't happen all at once, the wait will be worth it. 

I was so excited.
Now I'm not..

My bud.

Dear Isaac,
   I've only been here about a week, but I already miss you so much. Oh, I really do miss you and our treat Tuesdays. You're the best little brother named Isaac a girl could ask for. You know you always brighten my day with a simple hug and kisses on both my cheeks, when I ask. I miss seeing you all the time.
   I'll come home sometime and get a hug from you some day, maybe soon, probably  not. I hope you're taking care of everything while I'm gone, and not being too much of a little twirp. Pay attention in school, be good to your sibs and eat all the vegetables mom sets in front of you.
   I love you bud.

-Jerrica.

I don't understand

why some people stay up so late at night
why others use foul language
why i've been cold all day
why i have no motivation in me
why school can be brutal when required
why it's been slow and long
why i let my room be messy
why there's this empty feeling
why i feel like i wish i weren't here
why the only thing i want is to be here
Why I have to feel so confused.

:good:day:

One pint of blood.

Dinner with Dallin.

Half a saucepan of mac n cheese.
Jen's mac n cheese, that is.

I cook, he cleans, def. works.
