Conference! ~I Love to see the Temple!~

I failed in writing about it earlier so I'm going to right now! well... Conference weekend: a time to dwell on things of the spirit and hear from our leaders who are inspired to tell us what we need! It was so awesome to be able to go to Utah and go to the Conference center, unfortunately I couldn't get in the center so Me, Chelsea, Trevor, and Sean went to the theatre right next to it to listen from there.

Wow! I'm forgetting everything! I went up on Friday to stay with Chelsea Ellsworth, my bestest friend! (we've been friends since 2nd grade) Becky Fowkes, another friend since 2nd grade, came down later! We had so much fun staying up late hanging out with high school friends, and waking up late, eating from random cafeterias, and watching Iron Man! It was fun to have a reunion so soon after graduation! haha I'm going to miss all of them so much. Hopefully we'll all keep in contact! That includes Chelsea, Sterling, Perry, Becky, Trevor, Sean, Ryan, Melody and even all the friends who weren't there! (Christine you better keep in touch ;D ) Well after lots of partying and Conference I was able to go to my grandparents house in Farmington with Chelsea! It was really cold though so we stayed bundled up in doors. My aunts, uncles and cousins were also there for Sunday dinner so it was a blast hanging out with everyone! Hopefully I'll be able to do this again! I'm so grateful to Chelsea for letting me stay over! Chels, your apartment rocks and you seem as happy as ever! We're hanging out during Christmas break!!! :) Well again this is a reminder to everyone to keep in touch! I love you all! :D

~BOYS~

BOYS!!! They bring trouble, drama, uncertainty, confusion and sometimes life filled with woes. Well I've got to thinking... what if its me that is bringing it upon myself? Ya sure guys add a lot to it but what if its my problem too? Well all the guys reading this are probably thinking WOW she finally got it through her head... Bravo Maureen! and the girls are probably like... its boys faults! Well I've been in deep thought over this for the past few days and I have to hand it to the guys, they deal with a lot! Girls like me love drama... being right all the time, more drama, getting what they want, more drama, speaking in endless phrases that to guys don't make sense, and attention. But in our defense boys forget, they don't get us, and they don't like to talk as much as we do (which I still don't understand). You'd think we (boys and girls) would all get that we're different and move on but we tend to cause even more trouble. Why is that? And why in the end will we do anything for them even if they do something we consider stupid? Well I don't think these questions will be answered anytime soon or ever really... Its a confusing subject really, but hey they say opposites attract maybe we complete eachother in a way... nah! ;) ha ha jk! well please respond, I'd like to hear your opinions!

Sad Day Over!

This morning I woke up to a burst of screams. Our dog is back! Some neighbor found her! Nothing to worry about anymore. Welcome home Honey!

My lost little Doggie!

Well little Honey B. took an adventure today, we didn't realize she had left, or that she wasn't coming back. Please come home Honey! wherever you are. If you ever knew Honey or just want to help please keep her in your thoughts. Thanks.

CHUCK!!!!!

For any of you who are obsessed with CHUCK like I am you're going to be ecstatic around 8 o'clock tonight!!! The Premiere of the 2nd season of Chuck is tonight! Just for those who haven't seen it before I'll give you a rundown.

Some nerd named Chuck (who works at the Nerd Herd at the Buy More!) He has everyday issues that any geek would have: Boss is annoying, competition between fellow workers, a best friend Morgan who no one knows where he comes from, girlfriend issues, oh and did I mention he happens to be working undercover with other government undercover-agents. But the problem is that he got into the spy business by mistake. His X-best friend hacked the worlds most important computer that contains top secret pictures that reveal top secret info. His friend just happened to send all the pictures to Chuck where he gathered the pictures and now their stuck in his head. So as the so-called "Intersect" he must help 2 awesome undercover agents in saving the world. But being Chuck it can get a little tricky...

So if you're really bored tonight, or I guess in the next 2 hours... Watch CHUCK! you won't be dissappointed!

Escape (es-Caugh-pay)

"hey thats funny, its spelled just the same as excape..." Name that movie! Ok so I feel like sharing my life as much as possible. don't ask my why but I think its bc I'm bored. So... School. Its like the Fish bowl of life, you can either look at it as the glass half full or half empty. Either way its the same. Anywho... School is metaphorically a place to learn but what really happens during college hours? is there any learning involved? Today my teacher in English decided to have us write on how an individual essay is different from a group essay. I'm pretty sure I didn't learn anything in that class today. Then I had Chem. Well my teacher has her 10 minutes of fun before a new chapter is explained so today while our 10 minutes of fun was being talked about, I couldn't hear 1 single word because a few non-charismatic students sat to my right with their mouths Wide open carrying on about the Very Exciting ways of life and how they just wrote an essay to some person for some thing on some day this week and some dude was going to give them some prize for being some kind of cool and doing it. I must say my ten minutes of fun were erased and made into ten minutes of the most drolling talk I've ever heard! oh my word! It's like the girls version of gossip! He said this and then I said "NO-WAY!" and he said "uh huh" and then I was all "cool" and then we played footsie for an hour during a soccer scrimage! because we were passing the ball! totally cool right? Oh dear. It was a sad day, I don't think I've lost so many brain cells in one hour before. Then again if I had had a balloon filled with helium during that class that would be another whole issue entirely. :) So overall today was an Un-learning day where I wish I could swish a fishy tail and es-caugh-pay as Dori would say. Anyhow I'll try to keep you informed on my menial everyday instances at school... or home... or abroad... or anywhere I guess! But you get the picture. Later!

What did you say?

My Life!

I'm so completely Blissful! Can life get better? I submit that it cannot! :) Fitting in with school surroundings (finally), getting better at college, supporting my government by voting, doing homework, working, gaining new friendships, cutting my hair, having fun with good friends, Life is sure good all around! I wish everyone could be as happy as me! :) ok my optimisms caving in. Haha anywho... keep that smile on your face! You never know who's day you'll change for the better!

High Flying McCain!

When McCain told America that the candidate for Vice was a female, the world took a deep breath! A female in the presidential office of either vice or pres. was forgotten when Clinton was struck down in the primaries. Now there is another chance to have a female lead this nation. (Even though as McCain would say he's "already been through torture") America is still trying to figure out if McCain's seemingly well-thought out decision will be beneficial to him or just hurt him more. It was a pretty gutsy move on his part, but if America was mostly ready to accept Clinton as Pres. what's so different now? Governer Palin of Alaska definitely has the spirit for office. She seems eager to be running with McCain and helping our government as much as she can! It was hard for America to learn right after McCain announced his choice that Palin's 17 year old daughter was actually pregnant. Many started stressing that Palin needed stay at home time for her daughter. Who will end up on top? McCain with his female side-kick or an African American Obama who hypnotizes people with his smooth talk and apparent good looks? I guess we'l find out soon! So DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!!

Killing the Toro Spirit and Moving On

yes. It's really a sad comment but very true. The Toro inside me has died, i'm now a Devil (officially. Yes you can rub it in my face now Trevor) It's kinda depressing... But on the plus side! I get to sleep in late, do fun stuff for longer periods of the day, classes aren't that difficult, I've been reading like crazy moving from one book to the next, I have 2 days to do homework now, I'm loving Chemistry (which is a shocker) and Engineering class is AMAZING! we made rockets today! And my group was able to get the most height from our rocket! 130 ft into the air! It was absolutely Awesome! I'm so excited for that class! we're just working on rockets and measurements for the next few weeks! Heck Yes! I suppose I'm not exactly "killing" the Toro spirit within but realizing the fact I must move on now. I will be able to keep it with me and show pride for my school but unfortunately from a distance. But we must always smile as we move through life and take what we learn and apply it! So for all you High Schoolers... College Rocks! To all the College people... Keep me updated and it will Rock even more! haha I miss everyone and love you all! stay in touch! But as for now, I'll continue writing about my life so that it seems like we're all here again! haha Later!

(ok ok so the rocket above isn't actually the one I built, But mine was Definitely Cooler!)
