Last Week of School



I started off the week well by going to Tour 18 Golf Course with my dad. We went after we watched the PGA tour at TPC and saw the 17th green and really wanted to play. I played really well, most likely the best I have ever played. I usually have a really bad slice and open the club to the right, so to only hit three drives to the right was awesome. However, when I got to the 9th hole (the hole wanted to play in the first place) I hit into the water both times.

We then went to the Astros game on Tuesday. It was three friends of mine, my dad, and myself. We were just going to buy crappy, outfield nosebleeds seats, until my dad saw two tickets lying around. We picked those up and then someone called out if anyone wanted 2 free tickets and my dad snatched them out of the guys hand. So we had to buy one ticket for $12. It turned out that the 2 tickets were home plate seats which are like $50. So we snook my friends into the seats, and had awesome seats for $12. Oh and we played the Cubs and won. I started the 1908 chant and pissed everyone off. It was great day.

Since it is my senior year, we had our seminary graduation. I had to speak about D&C year. Although that was last year, it was at 6 in the morning so I don't remember anything. So I had my friend Daniel just go through important scriptures and I wrote them down and formed a speech. People said I did really well, so I felt good about my talk. I am so appreciative of all my teachers but especially my senior year teacher because she helped compare my life to people from the old testament.

I had a goal to have all A's for the last six weeks of school so that I could be ready for college. I accomplished that goal and now I believe that once I put my mind to something I can accomplish anything.

Finals? ya right



So I decided I would keep a blog to keep the family in the loop of my life. Since High School is coming to an end, I have alot of free time, but yet still get no sleep. I had a busy first weekend in May. On the 2nd, Lauren and myself saw Kanye West in concert at Cynthia Woods. It was the best concert ever. The energy was unmatched by anything I have ever been to. On the 3rd, I had my senior prom. We got a limo, and went downtown to the dance. The dance was kind of lame, but my date was fun, so I had a good time. We then changed from our tuxes and dresses to shorts and tshirts because we had rented a lake house on Lake Conroe. (Don't worry the girls changed first then the boys changed 2nd) The limo took us to the house in about an hour. The house was awesome. It was four floors and the chaperones had the place stocked with food which made me one happy camper. We went to bed around 3 and woke up the next morning around 8 to head out on the boat. The water was really choppy because it was somewhat windy, so I was limited in wakeboarding but had fun on the tube. I went inside and laid around for a couple of hours. I got home around 730 pm on sunday night. I was so tired the whole next week. I could never catch up on sleep. This sunday on the 18th we had a church fireside. It was about family and friends. We had to cut out paper into shapes to help teach a lesson. My friend Daniel made a cut out of people holding hands wrapped around a heart. We then stood up to present it the class. Daniel says "It only takes one person to make love!" Everyone started laughing even the bishop because it was at the church. He obviously didn't mean to word it like that. As my last week as a senior begins, I reflect on the wonderful times I have had in High school and the friendships that I have that I will always remember.
