ups and downs

The move was last Friday, the 10th. My friend John helped from 11:00 am on! I took a half day (which is 10:30!!!) to start moving. We got a lot of the boxes out by the time 5 other boys (jonathan, jacob, sean, richard, and james) came to help out. We moved all my big stuff (bed/dresser/bookshelf) and then put together all the other stuff (table, chairs, sofas, end table, coffee table, tv stand)... It got all done that evening! Amazing! It looks more than fabulous. I love it. And the carpet is SO soft! It was fairly painless!

The grand tour:

My friends are great. They make me laugh so much. And they help make life bearable. I went to Dallas last Saturday with 5 other chruch friends- we went to the Dallas temple and then toured downtown- like where JFK got shot... neat little day trip. Lots of driving, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

I made it through Mother's Day okay. I never like it though. I miss my mom so much. So much. I did go to Church and then Jonathan came over in the evening for dinner. (we've decided to be just friends- which is the best for both of us- and we still see a lot of each other)

Did I tell you about the progress with my Chem Com class? The delinquents? Well we started growing some sunflower seeds- they have a science fair-ish type project due...we put different acids and phosphates in the soil to see if it'll affect the growth. It's growing a lot in just a week!!! They still swear a lot and it almost made me so annoyed I was about in tears yesterday. I need to call their parents. It's REALLY hard to teach them. And my normal classes are getting restless- we only have two weeks of instruction then finals week. But I have so much to teach them until the end and they always whine. It's getting annoying. I want to do my job, goodness. The Nasa thing for the summer will be good- as long as I start getting stuff ready for next year in the mean time. Man. So much to think about. I might explode.

I have an annoying neighbor girl. Well, I shouldn't say that- but she's 14 and asked me the other day if I had a phone charger, which I had one that fit her phone, so I let her borrow it. Then Monica asked me to teach her how to park (her mom has a disability so she can get her license early)... and I couldn't say no so the next day I did. Then she asked what I was doing that evening, and I was going to a play with my friend at school because I had a couple students in it...and she asked if she could come. So I said yes. Then the next day she came over again! I think she went out of town- hence why she hasn't been over. I am not her parent! Nor should I feel like I have to hang out with a 14 year old who has a really weird life. Ack!

I had an open house party last night- that was fun. I'm currently waiting for the cable guy- who's an hour and a half late from his 'window time'.... and they lost my last order...so it's really annoying as well. I need to leave my apartment to do stuff, peoples!

So that's my life. Full of imperfections. I am really trying to keep positive, but I just need school to be out.
