The day finally came. My mission call came in the mail and the next day was able to open it with my immidiate family and roommates. I am going to Richmond Virginia Mission and leave January 7, 2009. I am way excited and can't wait to go out there!

Bad Days
So its true. We all have bad days. As much as we hate them, we need to take Elder Wirthlin's advice and just plain laugh at them. I can't do that for mine yet (still to fresh), but I hope you find a little laughter in it.
This morning, though starting out rough, went pretty good for the most part. I had enjoyed the weekend a little to much and had forgotten to do my religion homework. Since it was one of my first classes, that meant getting up early to do it. Usually not a problem, IF I go to bed. But of course I get to bed late. The joys of college you know :) Well, I didn't get to bed at a decent time, so I didn't get up this morning. Strike 1. Luckily I did wake up 30 to 45 min early and that gave me enough time to get it done (also luckily the assignment was about half the size it normally is and I'd looked at it earlier). No harm done and I get ready and to class on time. Then 11:00 rolled in. I didn't get enough sleep so I was EXHAUSTED! I even almost fell asleep in my first class. Since I'm also very hungry I go ahead and go home during my 2.5 hour break instead of heading to the practice room. I figure some food and a short nap would rejuvinate me. Didn't happen. That 15 to 20 min nap turned into a 2 hour long nap! I luckily woke up just in time to make it to my last class. Strike 2 for the day. So after class I head up to the library to rewrite one of my warmups before going to go practice. Technically nothing had to be done to it, but it would be really nice to get it from either the 1 page version that my teacher gave me or the 3 page version I made last year. Well, 2.5 hours later I cheatingly got it onto 2 pages and have a killer headache. Strike 3. By this point it is 6:00, I haven't eaten dinner, and still have to prepare the FHE lesson. So once again I don't make it into the practice room. From this point on the day is spent just trying to calm myself down. I went from a bad headache to very frustrated with myself to trying not to cry. Needless to say nothing has been accomplished today. I guess I did have 1 highlight for today. I got my very first letter from JC. I pray tomorrow will be much better since I now get to pay for my day of inactivity.
