It's been an interesting year so far. I a lot has happened, so I'll try to hit on the most exciting and the highest points. As far as school goes, I decided to take classes during the summer to graduate sooner. I'm enrolled in four classes now and the semester only has about 5 weeks left. I'm taking my senior project right now. I'm working on writing an AI (artificial Intelligence) agent to play mario on the computer. I've set myself some fairly high standards. Mario has to win 90% of the time after training on a level 2,000 times. I just finished getting everything to work and he does indeed win the level often. 98.75% of the time, actually. It's pretty entertaining to watch. I'll post some youtube videos on it sometime and include them here.
Last semester I took an OpenGL graphics class. For my final project in that class I built a catapult game. It was pretty cool. Here is a video of what it looks like right now. I want to port it to Mac and then to the iPhone/iPod. We'll see how that goes.
I started dating Kalysta late last year and we just recently got engaged. She's amazing and I can't wait to spend forever with her. We just took engagement pictures this weekend. After my sister gets them edited and such, I'll post them on here.
Currently, I'm looking for a job. I need an internship to officially graduate. I can't really graduate until december though. Either way, I need to find an internship. The sooner the better. That's it for now.
Where Do I Even Start?
I Hate Chainsaws
Halloween this year was awesome. I haven't had this much fun on Halloween for a long time. Having a date for Halloween makes it that much better. I've been trying to figure out what really scares me during this Halloween season. I went to the haunted mill and nothing there really scared me. Startled, yes, but not scared. Well, maybe the guy with red eyes in the red dot room... bu we'll excuse that for now. Going to the straw maze tonight was terrifying. There's nothing more terrifying than running from a man with a chainsaw and coming to a dead end. It was awesome. It was probably the scariest hour of my life. Another key scary moment was a werewolf thing on stilts that was at least 8.5 feet tall. It was awesome. Being chased by him was also terrifying.
After that, we came back to my place and then we watched The Messengers. Wendy wasn't really a fan of scary movies, but she was a good sport about it and I think she had a good time anyways. I was scared much more by the maze personally. After the movie we just sat and talked for almost an hour. It was fun.
I also bought a new wok today, since I burned my last one. This time, bought a real carbonized steel one. I'm done with that Teflon junk. I researched a lot more about woks before I bough this one. Woks are intended to cook on one setting: high. They should be able to endure high heat. This is why Teflon is an awful material for a wok. It burns, peels and get's destroyed. So, this time I bought the proper wok. This means that I have to season the wok and take care of it. This basically means burning oil into the pan. The oil is absorbed, making the carbon steel wok a natural non-stick surface.
I seasoned it today and I tested it by frying an egg. It worked magically, just like on my mission. I fried in egg in about 30 seconds, and it didn't stick at all. It's amazing. More fried rice, more often. It will be awesome. One of the best parts is that I can now use a metal spatula with the wok. Yay!!!
Everything Is Funny at 4:00 A.M.
Been a long time since I've written anything. I've just been really super busy. My internship at the church was good. I learned a lot, mostly about what I don't know. Anyways, after my internship I moved back to Rexburg to continue my education. This semester has been a rough one. It's already past midterms. I am taking 16 credits, but they are all really difficult classes. I always have a ton of homework to do. Somehow I find ways to relax and just take a break.
In one of my classes, we just turned in an SRS document. It's basically a huge paper that defines the needs of a program that is going to be developed. It's super technical and just ugly. It was an entire class project, but 3 people including myself finalized the document last night during an all nighter. I went to bed 5:30. That one is over now, but I have to do a similar paper called an SDD document that is a design of the SRS. It's just as technical and ugly as the SRS, but with more places to make mistakes. We'll see what happens. I'm just glad the SRS is over.
The only things I have left to do this weekend is finish my take home math test and hopefully go on a date. The second one will be fun though.

Patriotism
It's been a while since I wrote in here. I went to the Secondhand Serenade concert with Kindy a few weeks ago. It was pretty good. We shot the moon was there, and that was awesome. I didn't know they were going to be there.
Lately, I've been listening to the news at work and just to become more informed. It's been making me angry and frustrated, mostly, but it's good. I'm glad that I'm more aware. Anyways, because of this I've been feeling much more patriotic these last few weeks. Tonight, my roommate and I decided to watch Braveheart. It was awesome. I haven't seen it for a long time and it's an amazing movie. Wish there were someone as passionate and honest as William Wallace in modern politics.
Right after that, We decided to watch The Patriot. Also an awesome movie. I still think every American should be forced to watch this movie at least once. I don't know if I can stomach it, but I almost feel like watching United 93 again too. It's another movie that moves me to have patriotic feelings.
Well, at any rate, I'm going to focus on the movie now.

Concert Extravaganza
It's been a good while since I last wrote in here. I've just been busying partying my nights away that I haven't had a chance to write in here lately. I've been having a good time at work. I'm basically working on just the MP3 project now. I am still technically involved in the the OKAPI project, but I don't really feel like I contribute to that one. It's all about organizing the build and it's just getting pretty complicated and I am tired of doing research just to keep up with everyone. The MP3 project is going really good though. I finally have the program working as a fully functional GUI now. You actually have a window with menus and you choose files with open and save type commands. It's awesome. Now I just have to figure out how to embed pictures into the MP3 files and I have to make a spreadsheet editor view inside the application so I don't have to open Excel to modify MP3 files.
Saturday was really fun. I woke up really early and went paintballing. We went to this speedball field down in Provo. It was fast and not the type of game I'm used to playing in paintball. I got butchered pretty good at the beginning, but near the end I was starting to figure things out and I was actually getting some kills instead of just being fodder. I slid behind a barrier at one point and tore my pants. I wasn't too concerned about it. The pants had shrunk in the wash and looked stupid on me anyways. After we quit playing my knee started to sting. I finally inspected it and realized that not only had my pants torn, but my knee was all torn up too. It was a bloody, dirty mess. I had to wait til I got home to clean it, and I did the best I could scrubbing it painfully in the shower, but by Sunday night it was pretty obvious that my knee was infected with something.
After paintball, I went to the Jack's Mannequin and The Fray concert with Seeca. Jack's Mannequin was awesome, as I expected. I was only upset that they didn't get to play for very long. The Fray was the headliner, so they got most of the playing time. The Fray was okay, but I just think a lot of their songs sound the same... The opening band, Meese, was awesome. I bought their CD and I've been listening to it a lot.
Anyways, I didn't go to work today, Instead, I spent the morning getting my leg looked at by a doctor. That took a while. Then, I drove down to Orem to get my car fixed. So now I'm car-less and my roommate is going to take me to work. I'm not really sure how I'm getting home from work yet... I don't really want to walk... but I can ride the trax til the library for free, so that will take it down to 11 blocks... We'll see what happens. After the garage, I went with Seeca to a friends house and we played games and watched a movie. It was pretty fun. Anyways, I better get to bed. I'm tired.

Reunion
Today was pretty fun. I went back up to Rexburg in the morning and visited my friends Amy and Beth. I played soccer with Amy in the morning and after getting something to eat I went over to Beth's place. She was hungry, so then we went to eat again, but I didn't get anything. At the restaurant, I ran into a good friend of mine in high school, Julie Lot. It's been a long time since I've seen her. Her and her husband moved out to Pennsylvania while he's in medical school. They were just back visiting for the fourth of July. It was a total freak accident that we were both in Rexburg at the same time.
After that, I went over to Beth's house and watched a movie, The Lazarus Project. It was really weird, but really good. I really liked it. It seems like forever since I'd seen Beth. Oh yeah, Amy said she'd take Mandy's dress that I found in my closet last night down with her to Arizona so Mandy could get it from her. I want to get my cologne back from her though. I probably spent the same amount of money on the cologne as she did on the dress.
After Beth's, I headed home and just talked a lot with my parents, catching up with them. I watched the events of a soccer game online. I had a nickle riding on Real Salt Lake, and they failed. It came down to a 1-1 draw. I was able to get another dime, so now I have 15 cents, and I put it all down on the Cubs tomorrow. I think they should beat the Brewers. They won the last game against them, 2-1. After dinner we played outburst and watched the three amigos. We didn't start the movie til about midnight and everyone fell asleep during it. I am just writing in here really quick before I go to sleep, But as soon as my head hits that pillow, I'll be out.

Long Nights: Road Trip Race
The last few days have been crazy. After sleeping in until noon the other day, I decided to go into work early and make up some lost time. But since I had slept so late the day before I wasn't tired at all. I decided I was just going to stay up all night rather than try to get some sleep. I needed to reset my internal clock, I guess. It worked pretty good. I fell asleep at work once for about 10 minutes in the morning, but after that I was fine.
After work, I went to the Oquirrh Mountain temple open house. The Oquirrh temple was pretty. It reminded me a lot of the Draper temple. The open house was better than Draper's though. There weren't nearly as many people so I could breathe and it wasn't stiflingly hot, but it was still the same format. Walk around in a huge line with no guide or explanation. I wish they'd have a person in each room or something just to talk about it while you were in there, like Rexburg. That was an awesome open house.
After that, we barely got back to Salt Lake City before Seeca's car died. The battery was all corroded around the connectors, so we walked to smiths and bought some baking soda and a toothbrush. We also acquired a cup of water from Taco Bell and were able to clean the connectors. Someone eventually tried to jump us, but it was no use. The battery was shot. My roommate gave us a ride back to our apartment. I drove my car back to Seeca's so she could get all her stuff out of it... In total, I went 38 hours without sleep. It worked though. I felt good this morning.
Today was weird. I went to work and got a few things done. Not a whole lot since I didn't see my mentor until around 1:00 and he gave me some things to work on. After work, I packed my things and Kindy came to get me. Once she got to my house, I was told that I would be driving. That was fine by me. I prefer to be the driver. I get bored easily if I'm not the one driving. I'm pretty sure it upset Mandy a few times on our trips to Provo. Anyways, Kindy brought two of her friends home for the fourth, so we were pretty crowded in the little saturn. We stopped to eat at subway, and I finally got a free foot long sub for spending so much money.
Kindy told me some news about my mom that I wasn't told since I went to the Oquirrh Mountain temple open house. My mom has super high blood pressure and diabetes. No one told me before hand. She has to avoid physical activity basically all together. It's pretty scary stuff. She's also had some strokes, the doctor said, and that could explains some things. I've been worried about her depression or whatever it was for a while, but I never expected something quite this serious. I'm really going to enjoy the time I get to spend with my family this weekend. They're the most valuable thing I've got. The only people who've stuck with me no matter what, and it'll probably always be that way.

1:00 - 7:00
Today was... different. I stayed up pretty late last night on this gospel study kick, breaking my red day streak. Anyways, I had a really late, spiritual night. I was up till at least 3:00. I don't know for sure. Then, I had an irritating dream that I finally woke up from. It was dark in my room and I hadn't heard my alarm yet, so I lied there for a while. I fell asleep again and woke up to noise upstairs. I checked my clock and it read 12:09 P.M. It took me a while to realize that it said P.M. and that it couldn't possibly say A.M. I jumped awake and hurried to work as fast as I could. I got there at about 1:00. My mentor had been working on the project we're doing all morning, so I missed a chance to work with him on that all morning.
I was still able to work with him a bit in the afternoon and I'm going in early tomorrow to work with him at 6:00 until 9:00, when he gets busy. I got a lot done after he left too. It's been pretty good. I just felt really bad that I slept til noon. I don't really have hours that I'm required to be there, so it was okay. Just weird. At any rate. I'm going to work from 6:00 to 5:00 tomorrow, and hopefully on Thursday too. Then I can have a little overtime even and get some make up for this holiday weekend. Plus, I'll get more time with my mentor.
I have to find a new apartment for August. Turns out my land lady isn't going to work with me at all for the last month. Seeca asked her land lady if she might have a spot open for just august. She says she'll look into it and get back to her soon. The rent would actually be about 10 dollars less, and the room would be a shared room, but I don't care. I need somewhere. If I can't do that, I'm just going to live out of my suit case at peoples houses for like a week at a time. I could probably live at Dan's and each of the bishopric's houses. I'd rather just have an apartment though.

The Montony of Repitition
Today was a pretty normal day. I went to work. I didn't get very much done because I'm confused on what we're doing exactly. My mentor is never around to help, so I try to figure things out. I read today instead of going for a walk. I got through 40 pages of my book during that time. It was good.
After work, I played Contra and Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers with Steve. It was pretty fun, but I wish there was something else to do. After that, Brock and I ran to 7-11 for some ice cream, and then we watched Slumdog Millionaire. Anyways, it's late and I'm going to bed.

Indonesia Raya
This weekend was pretty fun. I went to go play laser tag with my cousin Esther and her YSA group. It was really fun. I got 2nd place out of the 20 players that we had. After that we went to Leatherby's Creamery and got some ice cream. It was delicious. Then we went to one of Esther's friend's house and played taboo for hours. Esther and I ended up winning that. Everyone accused us of having all these connections, but we hadn't talked to each other for like 3 years before that day. I got home around 2:30 A.M. and was surprised to find that everything in my room was wet. It was all soaked.
I called my land lady this morning and apparently the next door neighbor thought it would be a brilliant idea to put an extension on their gutter drain that pointed straight to the window in my bedroom. It rained really hard, and the water just flowed straight into my room. It was also the one day that I left my backpack with my work computer on the floor in my bedroom. I always leave it in the living room, but since Esther was waiting for me after work, I just ran down there and changed and left the back pack down there. I hope the computer didn't get wet and has some problem now. Anyways, there is a couple of fans constantly blowing on my carpet for the next few days to try to dry it out.
I went grocery shopping today and bought a lot of food. I got all of it on this special sale price and it was awesome. For instance, I got 5 pounds of beef for like $6.27. It was awesome!
After shopping, I went to another mission reunion dinner thing at David Neilsen's house. It was pretty fun and I met some new Indonesians that aren't members of the church yet, but we get along really good. I'll probably end up doing more stuff with them and it could turn into a really good missionary opportunity. But that's about all I've done for today.
Today's Theme Song: One Down ~ Ben Folds
Movies and Music
Today was pretty fun. I won't write much because it is late and I have a meeting at 8:00 A.M. tomorrow. After work, Joe and Walmart, but with much better movies. It was 5.99 a movie, with a buy 2 get one free, so I got three good movies for like 12.00. I also bought a Ben Folds live concert cd. That's also pretty exciting. After that, we went to Barnes and Noble and I used the gift card kindy got me to buy a the next 2 books in the series I'm reading. I also read quite a bit today. I read the scriptures and I'm going on a full week here with no red days in a bit. I've had some slip ups, but June is overall white. Anyways, that's it for today.

Laziness
The last few days have been okay. I had my date on Saturday. It didn't really go as I had hoped. We hadn't really spoken a lot to each other before, but as we started talking we both realized pretty quick that we didn't really have much in common. We both like hiking and camping, but other than that, we really didn't do anything similar. There were several awkward silence moments and overall it was a little disappointing. It did help me get over my awkwardness a little though. I need to go on more before I'm "nomral" again.
Other than that, not a whole lot has really happened. Esther invited me to go to a stake activity of hers with her. They're playing laser tag somewhere. I'm probably going to go ahead and do that with her instead of going to my wards activity in Manti that night. I haven't seen my cousin in a long time, and I'd get to know some different people.
Work is going okay. I realized today that I only have 2 more months left of my internship after this week. This week should be better than the last few. My mentor is done doing the dev plan and from what I've heard I'm going to be working with a guy named jax on certain parts of the world server project. It should be a lot more fun than what I've been doing for the last few weeks.

Ensign Peak
Today was okay. Work was pretty boring. I have nothing to do again, and my mentor is out of town tomorrow for some scout thing. Anyways, I have nothing really planned for the day. I'll have to try to figure something out. Today I worked on some little things as I thought of them, but for the most part I sat around trying to think of something to do. I had lunch with Dale & Becky today. It's been so long since I've talked to them. It took a while to get a conversation going, but it was actually a pretty fun lunch. They gave me all kinds of ideas about things to do here in Salt Lake that are cheap and should be pretty fun.
After work, Joe, Seeca, and I hiked up to the top of Ensign Peak. It was a pretty easy hike, and it didn't take long at all, but the view was really nice. I took several pictures and just enjoyed the time I had up there looking over the valley. It's hard to believe that this little forest looking city was a complete desert once upon a time.
After the hike we got some ice cream at McDonald's and then we came home and played Rock Band for a while. It was fun. I really enjoyed going on that hike. Plus, Dale and Becky have told me about some more hikes that I can take. Apparently Thomas and Henry going hiking quite a bit, so I'll have to call them sometime and go on one with them. It sounds really fun to me. I might have to get some better shoes for hiking in since all i have are flat bottomed shoes and my fake athletic ones. Well... I better get to bed so I can get to work on time for... uhh... something. Oh! I have a meeting with the AV department guys on Monday, so that should pick up again next week. That's the one thing I'm looking forward to right now.

BBQ Birthday
It's been almost a week since I wrote in here last. It's been an interesting week overall. Seeca's been calling me and making sure I have activities to go to. It's been fun, but I need something else. Yesterday I finally called Krista and asked her on a date. It was probably the most awkward phone call I've ever made, but she did accept, so it worked out. I'm way nervous. I just hope we have fun. We're going to go shopping since I need some smaller clothes with the 9 pounds I've lost in the last few weeks. We'll probably get an Orange Julius to drink while we shop, since there isn't a Jamba Juice at the Gateway mall. After that, we're going to come back to my place to meet up with Brock and Kate and play games. I have no idea what games we're going to play, but we'll come up with something.
Today's my actual birthday. Work was okay. I spent all day trying to figure out ruby on rails, but couldn't really do anything. Something is messed up with my installation, so nothing will run. Of course, I spent hours trying other things before I figured this out. Not that it matters. I don't know how to fix it. Oh well. Hopefully I see my mentor for a little bit so he can figure out what's wrong with it.
After work, I came home and cut my hair. It feels so much better when it's short. After that, Joe and I ran to Walmart and bought some hamburgers, buns, and "gourmet" burger seasoning from Walmart. It was delicious. I cooked it for me, Joe, and Steven. Brock had eaten earlier, but he wanted one. I could tell.
Once we were all stuffed we watched Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. That was fun too. I haven't seen it in forever. I remember hell being much scarier when I was like 7 years old. It was an awesome. Then Joe and I watched Transformers it was cool. After that, we're going to run to Walmart again because I forgot to buy contact solution, and I really need some. I put some new pictures in facebook and changed my profile picture. I hope it shows that I've lost some weight, compared to my San Antonio pictures.
Today's Theme Song: I'd Do Anything ~ Simple Plan
Pandora, 8 hours a day.
Yeah, I get to listen to Pandora internet radio every day for 8 hours, basically. I have found a lot of bands that I didn't know about before that I'm really starting to like. I love Pandora. Work is picking up. The translation project is being put on the back burner for a bit with people going on vacation. This means I actually have some time do work with my mentor on things. We did some code review stuff today and he's showing me different ways to program some stuff that I've been working on for the MP3 project. It was so helpful, and that's just one day. I wish it would happen more often. I get it for about a week with this translation project situation.
Today was pretty boring after work though. None of my roommates were home, and DI was out of roller blades. The only activity I had planned for the day fell apart. I moped around the house, sat in my room blasting Blink 182 and Sum 41 a lot... The anger is good sometimes. Sum 41 especially.
I went to Seeca's friends house tonight and played 4 player battle ship around 10:00. It was fun. I wish I'd thought of something to do before 10:00, but oh well. After that I came home and played Halo 3 with Brock for about a half hour, and now it's off to bed.
I have a new plan to sort of go on a date next weekend since this weekend failed with people going out of town. Basically, I'm going to get Joe to invite Krista over to play card games or something and then I'm going to mention that I need to buy clothes and stuff and see if I can get her to go shopping with me on Saturday. I don't really need any clothes... well... I do need some pants since the ones I'm wearing now are a little too loose now. But it's mainly just an excuse for the two of us to get out and do something and get to know each other better. I don't want it to be all formal like a date, just more hanging out. But I'm going to think of it more as a date. I'm just not going to tell her it is one.

Keldar of Mordom
Today was a pretty good day. I was busy at work the whole time. I spent the first hour researching the Lucene IR some more, but after that I went to some meetings with my mentor. They were good for me to hear and catch up a little on the translation project that I'll be working on eventually. I'm still a little lost as to what we'll be doing, but I know we're working on the searching and archiving part of the new translation software.
After the meetings, I was given a little mini project by my mentor to help me learn OSGI and Apache Maven better. I got it all done. It took me a while because I forgot that if you have a project that contains modules, the main pom.xml file has to have it's packaging tag set to pom instead of jar. I struggled with that error for a good while. But, the important part is that I figured it out. He told me it would probably take the rest of the day to do... I had it done in two hours instead of 3. I guess that means that I am working faster than they think I am. Dad was right. I just need to learn to slow down.
After work, I called my friend Kalysta. It was good to talk to her. I found out all my high school aged friends are back working there again. All of us swore not to go back, and I'm the only one who didn't. It's kind of funny, but I'm glad I'm where I am at.
I found some new music listening to Pandora at work today. Good Charlotte came out with a new cd in 2007 that I didn't know about, and it's really good. I want it. After that, I basically came home and played video games for the rest of the day. I didn't really have anything else to do and my roommates all felt about the same as me. It was a rough day at the start, but Beth helped me through it. I'm glad it's over. I'm going to hate Wednesdays for a while.
I never asked you to change,
Not once did I complain.
I loved you for who you were,
Yet I was the one to blame.
Love me for who I am,
Not what you want me to be.
Love me for who I am,
And we can get along.
If I like you and you like me,
Then good friends we both can be.
If I like you and you like me,
Then we can get along.

Enchiladas
Today was a pretty good day. My mentor didn't have any meetings to go to today, so I was able to learn a lot more about the translation project that I'll be working on eventually. Right now, I'm mostly just doing some research on the technologies they want to use. I'm learning how to use an information retrieval library known as lucene. Basically, it's a tool that you can use to build your own searching applications. Since the translation department wants the ability to search previous translations and copy any phrases that are the same, this will be an integral part of the project.
After work I came home and did some laundry. It's nice to actually have washer and dryer in the house. I don't have to save my quarters for no reason anymore. Yay! I also played my free online FPS, combat arms. I got one of my roommates to download it and play it with me. It was pretty fun. I'm sure I can get Brock to play it too.
I found out today that Joe's cousin, Krista, is going to be out of town this Friday, so I can't ask her out on a date yet. I'll just have to wait until next weekend. Brock is supposed to be out of town that weekend, but he wanted to do a double date with me. I want to go on a double date. I think it would be good for me to do one of those first, but at the same time I dont' want to wait another 2 weeks before I go out on a date. I just want to go on one and get rid of some of my nervousness.
I cooked some enchiladas for dinner tonight, and they were delicious. Some people from the ward came by to welcome to Joe to the ward. The girl saw what we were eating and I told her I made it. She seemed impressed. Anyways, word is out that I can cook. My roommates are planning on helping me buy food if I cook for them. It's not a bad arrangement. I won't pay for the food, I'll just cook it and they'll buy it and do the dishes. Sounds good, anyways. We'll see what comes of it. Oh yeah, we watched Wall-E tonight too. Good show. Well, I'm off to bed. Goodnight.

Twisted Ankle
So I went to visit Kindy yesterday and twisted my ankle pretty good. It didn't hurt too bad at the time, but when I got up to go to church this morning I fell. I looked at my ankle and it was all swollen and pretty painful. I didn't go to church today. I figured walking around from class to class and up and down all the stairs wasn't good for it.I stayed sitting down pretty much the whole day. My roommates and I watched some movies... it was fun.
I did go to ward prayer since it was just next door. The guys next door seem pretty cool. After ward prayer, Seeca invited Brock, Joe, and I to go to her place and watch movies. We watched The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. It's a stupid movie, but funny. On our way home I finally asked Joe about his cousin. He doesn't know if she's seeing anyone right now, but he told me he doesn't mind if I take her on a date. At least the easy part of asking someone out is done. I may still get rejected, but oh well. I have to try, right? She seemed pretty cool and I think we'll have fun together. That's about it for today. Pretty boring and uneventful, really.

Today was pretty good. I spent all my time at work today with my mentor. I have to admit, it was pretty boring, mostly because I don't know what's going on and I'm trying to absorb all the information, but it's just too much. I fell asleep a lot during the second one.
I ended up leaving an hour early. I was supposed to meet with my roommate and go to the temple, but he didn't get to me in time, so I went home to wake him up or whatever. Turns out, he went to help his brother move. Then Seeca, the girl next door, called and asked if I wanted to go see a movie with her and a friend. We went and saw up. 2nd time for me seeing it. It's a great movie though, I can't complain.
I came home and played call of duty some more. I beat the game tonight. Yay. Not nearly as satisfying as I'd hoped. But it was fun. Just really short. Then again, that game was made to be played online.
Tomorrow I'm going to go visit Kindy and play soccer. It should be fun.

Distractions
Today was weird. I ran out of things to do at work at 3:00 P.M. and took off. I really didn't know what to do. I got on the wrong train and almost ended up in Sandy. I got off at the last station in Salt Lake. I rode back to my apartment, to see that Brock's big 40" tv came today. I spent the rest of the afternoon playing Call of Duty 4. I'm more than half way through the single player game now. But, that got old eventually.
I went to the gas station down the street to get some money for the temple tomorrow. I'm probably going to go after work though, instead of before. Work can keep my mind on other things good enough. And there's no reason to wake up earlier to think about things more later.
After that I was restless. I came home and found my newest roommate, Joe. We decided we were going to watch a movie on the new tv and he invited his cousin Christa. She was cool. I didn't really get to talk to her much since we just watched the movie and then she took off, but it was fun.
Well, I better get to bed. Big day tomorrow, heading down to Provo to spend the weekend with my sister.
