Crazy right? I got locked out of an entrance to the field, so grudgingly I persevered to the other side of the field, and fate happened. I was just walking near the entrance to the athletic building at Westminister college, and Hello John. I smiled awkwardly at him and so did he at me, and that was that. WHY DIDN'T I SHAKE HIS HAND??? I dunno. I guess I was stunned and didn't really realize who it was until he was gone. But still, freak out I did as I entered the field and bragged about it to my teammates. I think it was also fate that because of this meeting with him yesterday, my boys won their game. They are currently ranked 3rd in the Hollinger power rankings on espn, and are tied for 4th in the western conference. Lets hope they either stay there or go ahead because they sure need to make it to the western conference finals. I need my basketball to last as long as it can. :)
Other updates...
My team played in a tournament yesterday against CSU, Wyoming, and Air Force. CSU is our rivals, our Jordan if you will... they are such a hard team for us to get around for some reason. No one on my team has ever played a game against them where we won. BUT. Yesterday all that changed. We beat them 5-6 and it was a fight all the way to the end. One of the girls on my team had a red card called on the player who slashed her on the head, giving her a nice little gash that took her (having had 4 points in this vital game) out for the rest of the tournament. What a time. Then it was Wyoming who we beat by a lot and Air Force who we beat 21 (ish) to 0. Sounds ruthless right? But we played so horribly against Wyoming that we had to make up for it. It was a good day followed by a dinner with my high school girlfriends that was way fun and an early bedtime for me! Perfect day I'd say. Except for one thing. I had been feeling very odd about something all day. Something was just off... I was nervous and feeling nauseous, but not because of the games, but something else that I couldn't put a pin on. I thought that going to bed early would help that, but I'm not sure. I think part of it was that I do not want to go back to school and have to face yet another test. Last week my two hardest classes had exams, one was a final. The final went okay, I didn't fail, but I didn't excel either. And the exam went poorly for everyone, so he said he'd add on 10-15 points to our scores and therefore I ended out doing pretty good on that one. It is just so stressful this school thing, but o well. I choose to come here. :)
Another reason I think is that I was feeling uneasy about some man struggles, which if you want info on you should come to me, but I am just anxious to know what's going on in everyone's heads. I think that it would be awesome sometime to have a crystal ball just waiting for me to look into and know what my future would be. :)
I thought also maybe a reason I'm feeling weird is all of the housing struggles we've been going through. I love where we live because the people are great and I love my roommates so no matter where we end up it will be something good. I am just hoping that it isn't somewhere were I have to pay a lot of money. I am pretty positive we'll be living in the riviera again, but o well. I'm not in control of that.
The last thing I think is that I'm worried about someone close to me dying. I know this is a horrible thought to have, but I have been reading a lot about people dying and getting into serious substances etc that get them addicted and pulled speedily down the path of destruction. I do not like thinking this way, but it is what it is I guess. I hope that it will pass, and that if something like this did happen, I'd be able to help out as much as i could. Maybe I'm being prepared for a hard trial... I dunno. I'm just anxious.
The last last thing is that I have no idea what I'm going to be doing with my summer. I still haven't heard back from EFY yet, and I don't know if I'll be living down here in the spring going to school or if I'll be in sandy or what. I don't have another job (besides bath and body) to go to and I don't really want to just sit around and not be productive either. I would LOVE it if I could just hear back from EFY and therefore figure out my life. ha! It's been almost 6 weeks since I interviewed.
I'm so glad that I have a testimony of the Savior. I know that all will be well and that I need to just trust in him and in my father in heaven.
I do really want to give my mom and Katie a little shout out for helping me de-stress this weekend. I REALLY appreciate it and love you both.

Hey I am always willing to hang out with you! Dito on the Stockton thing. It sort of made my day. He was one of my favorite players back in the day. He seems like a nice guy in person. :)
I told you not to worry about your test! I am glad to hear that you did better than you thought. That always makes me happy.
