Worth it

Well, to start off, I'm an idiot for having an 8:00 class every day of the week. In my defense though, I didn't intend on having my schedule the way it is at the moment. In fact, I originally had a wonderfully nice,full schedule with awesome professors. Then I changed my life goal, thus messing up my perfect schedule. So now I'm stuck with a class at 8:00 in the morning every day. One of which, is my Honors 150, or freshmen writing class. "Freshmen?", you say, "I thought you were a Junior, what's up with that?" Ya, ya, I know. It's not a good idea to fail an introductory level writing class. Though I must say, I rather enjoy this class. It is 100x better than the non-honors section that I let myself fail. Well, anyway, being an English class, and an Honors section on top of that, I often have papers that I have to write. I tend to procrastinate. This becomes a problem when my paper has to be done by 8:00 in the morning. Tuesday we had a rough draft due for said English class. So I pulled an all nighter. I finally finished at like 4:30 or so, perhaps it was already 5:00, I'm not really sure. But I realized that I had a few hours before I needed to actually start getting ready for class. So I went to my bed and laid down for a nap... Bad idea. I woke up at 1:00 in the afternoon. The final copy was due this morning though so I stayed up a little later than normal putting some finishing touches on it. Come 6:45 this morning when my alarm went off, needless to say, I didn't want too wake up. So I hit the snooze a few times. 30 min later, I pulled myself out of bed, skipped my shower and took off to class. The 20-25 min walk to class usually does a fairly proficient job of waking me up in the mornings. Once I got to class, I remembered why it is that I enjoy my class so much. Crazy though she may be, Sis. Price (my teacher) is really a lot of fun. And we always have such interesting/fun assignments! So we are starting our research papers this week. The cool part though, is that she wants us to pull our topic from something in our family history. I think it's such a unique and awesome idea! What better way to find a topic that is meaningful and interesting! So right now I just need to think of stories from my family history that I could pull an argument out of. Wither it be something informative, argumentative or problem solving, 都可以. So if anyone has a favorite story from our family history, let me know (you all know how amazing my memory is).

Oh, and also, Sis. Price made home made cinnamon rolls for us this morning. 8:00 class? WORTH IT!

I love the story of the visit from one of the three nephites to my grandfather. Or the story of my ggggg grandmother who was hung
for being a witch. (In Salem Ms.) or the story of Barnabas Adams who was in the vanguard company of the Mormon pioneers. Sounds like a fun assignment. Did you get a job yet?
