I made it, I finished this semester with all A's and I had an awesome break.
And Now break is over. I had a three week break from school work. I've been lazy and such, didn't do much of ANYTHING. Now I have to get myself pumped to do school. 'Cause I am NOT feeling it right now. :P
I'm writing a short story, and I'm actually going to finish it, and I'm giving it a deadline. I am going to post it here Sunday before I go to bed, and it will be DONE. It may not be good, I don't know.... But it'll be done. So yeah, that will be cool. I'm going to be uber busy this semester, I'm taking 7 classes this semester. AND IT'LL BE AWESOMENESS. Okay, there, now I'm PUMPED.

Finals
I've been busy with finals, still am. That's why I haven't posted much lately... But I had this thought a minute ago:
...I think I can make it.
I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. Its nowhere close and the tunnel is caving in around me, but I think I can do it.
That's pretty much how I feel right about now, all semester I've been walking through a lit tunnel knowing that I'd eventual reach the end, but all of a sudden, the lights turned off and the rumblings started, then I realized how far I really was from the exit. I coulden't see the end and rocks were starting to fall around me, I started jogging, but I figured that the rubblings were not that bad and the end was just around a corner, and then I found a map, and I realized that I was NOT anywhere close, in fact, I didn't think that I'd get out in time. I started jogging again, I was to tired to run, I wasn't used to it, I was "out of shape" so to speak and then I decided, if I want to even get close to getting out, I've got to run. So I started running, by this time there were rocks falling everywhere, and, looking back I noticed that the tunnel had collapsed behind me (by the noise, or maybe a torch in the wall or something. ) so I started running for my life. it was all dark, no hope of getting out, since the cave in was right behind me. and then about two hours ago I saw the light. and I put on a burst of speed, I have to finish. I have to get out. The cave is collapsing right on my shoulders, but I won't stop running, its going to be WAY to close, but I'll make it. And it will make me feel awesome.

American
What Attributes or, qualities, would you use to describe an, "American"
And I don't mean the ethnicity, because there isn't really an American race, American is a viewpoint, a state of being, a mind set.
I would say that moral must be on the list, since that is an American thing especially. Patriotism, definitely. Education, bravery, honor and determination?
Well, who was the first, "American?" Was it the first colonist? Was it one of the founding fathers? It can't just be anyone, it has to be someone who embodies all of these traits almost perfectly. Well, let be read off some traits: Strong, yet understanding, smart, wise, he loved liberty, he did not like killing, but did it anyways, for his country, he was thankful for his blessings and accepted that they came from God, he was very, very righteous. He worked to support his family, and then helped others in his spare time. Like the Founding Fathers he swore an oath to protect his countries liberty even to the loss of his life. Who is this man, this man who so perfectly embodies all of these traits, these things that are at the very core of being "American" The man of whom I speak is Moroni. Yes, Moroni, I believe, was the first true American, Perhaps there have been others like him, in fact, if there haden't I would be extremely surprised, but of all the men like that, he was noticed, because he was there at a time where his type was needed. His enemies were stirred up by the devil working through men to fight against his country, but he stood up and with a few other spiritual giants 'shook the foundations of Hell.' We should strive to be more American, more like Moroni.
Alma 48:17
"Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men."

Black Friday.
Ahh, Black Friday, Rushing crowds, cheep stuff, good times.
Oh, wait, I've never been to Black Friday, and don't plan on it :D
Actualy. today I'm going to be snowmachining around with my dad, siblings and some friends. We're going to set up a trap line...
But yeah, that should be fun :D
A book that I'm reading at the moment is A Tale of Two Cities. I read about half of it before, and I didn't like it much then... It was about a year ago. But this year I'm enjoying it a lot!!

Thanksgiving!
Be thankful. Be thankful for everything, not just the good things. Be thankful for the car trouble, you have a car. Be thankful for the dirty house, you have a house. :D Just a little reminder.

!7th Amendment.
This is a small excerpt from my study guide, basically I write a bunch of stuff from my school classes so that I can look back and remember then years from now.
How did the 17th Amendment mess up the balance of powers? Because originally the states had a lot of say since they sent people to congress but not they completely lost a house in government. Since then the National government has gotten much more powerful than the states. But, if the 17th amendment was repealed it would start to bring the balance of power back. Also, if the obamacare case gets ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court that would be a huge step for the states, showing that the national government does not reign supreme.
Gratitude.
Today in church we had some talks about gratitude. One of them was EXCELLENT I mean it was awesome. He read a poem that talked about being thankful for things even if they dno't seem like blessings, like a broken window, because it means that you have a house, or having to clean up after a party, since you had a party, or having clothes that are too tight, it means that you have food. Anyways, while I was listening to it, I was thinking about things I didn't like, and how I could be grateful. I thought about what I posted yesterday. And I almost laughed, I have to choose between two awesome things!! what the heck am I complaining about? So yeah, just my thought of the day ;D
