My first time at camp

This post will be a little long so bare with me.

Monday: I had to get up a 4am so that I would be ready when my ride arrived at 5am. However, they did not get there until 5:30am. We then got off at the wrong exit so we didn't get to camp until 6:30. But they only had 2 people filling up the truck so we didn't leave until 8:45. We dot to camp finally at 10:30. An hour after we arrived and finished packing, we were told to meet them at the flag pole. We got to the flag pole and was told that we were going high roping. I didn't know what that meant but I knew it wasn't a good thing. Finally we got up to where the high roping course was and all of the sudden I couldn't breathe. We walked all the way up and strapped in and told to get on the rope. There was no way I was getting on a little bitty rope and walking. My stomach was hurting (by this time it was 12 and I hadn't eaten since last night and the sun was right on us). I saw a girl named Katie, who was like me and couldn't for the life of her get on the rope, finally conquer it. Finally I got on the rope and walked half way until my stomach told me I wasn't going any farther. However, I had to walk back. The other girls were such pros at it. After that we had free time, so we got in the lake and hung out for the rest of the day.

Tuesday: The other girls came to camp and it was my job to get the 1st years situated. One girl named Kathryn was so shy and so afraid. I felt terrible that she was so scared. I had her hang out with some other first years and saw her changed completely, she was smiling and happy. I was the 1st years that entire day. I also got to conquer canoeing with them.

Wednesday: Presidents Lantz and Mackey came and we had what I liked to call a "spiritual enrichment". It was awesome Lauren was Esther, President Lantz was Joseph Smith, President Mackey was Moses, Brother Johansson was our Prophet, and another woman was Moses Mother. It was awesome. They stayed the night and we all got to talk to them.

Thursday: My branch president came over and gave us a devotional. It was about allowing God to help us when we are having trouble. We also got to take him out and show him the camp. It was very nice having him there.

Friday: In the morning we had testimony morning. All of the girls in our branch got up. I really loved Sophia's testimony. A few other girls went. But most of the people that got up were the leaders. However, it really was awesome. We finally had another free time where we could relax before leaving.

Also while I was there we did have smores and yummy food. I met a lot of girls and got to see all of the different personalities.

While there someone close to my family died and I felt so angry and sad that I couldn't be with my mom. I personally knew MJ. He was friends with both of my parents and he is actually the reason they met. I don't like to talk about him because not everyone was nice to him and I am very sensitive about the matter. He was truly a good person and I remember a lot of times spending my birthdays with him and his family. Since my birthday is a day after his I remember always hanging out with him and his family. I remember plenty of times going to the Neverland ranch for a few birthdays and just wanting to be around him (sorry Hallie for lying about not going to California before, I was just afraid of how you would react). He was the most intelligent person I knew and was always wanting to help everyone. The last time I saw him was last year in February, we just talked and hung out for a hour. He and my parents fell out because he wanted to help us financially but they wouldn't budge, but he told me if I ever needed him he would be here, it might be with a but load of cameras but he would come, and me and my sister felt so great. I am so sad right now words can not explain how sad I am.

If only for a moment

Yesterday while at the library I received an email congratulating me on getting in to Southern Virginia University. I was so happy and couldn't wait to tell my family. After boasting to my family about this huge accomplishment to my family. I realized that I was still at the library and could register right then. They asked me what my student i.d. was and I realized that I didn't receive one in a the email. I called SVU and the admission counselor said that it was a mistake and I am still in the admission process until I get my ACT scores sent to them. Since I only took the test a week ago I still have up to 5 weeks before I get the results.

However, even with that set back I am okay. I got into WCCCD-Eastern Campus for the fall semester. But their webgate is on the fritz. They said that it will be a week or so before it is fixed and registration doesn't start till Monday.

I was also unable to go to Youth Conference this weekend due to my not so smart Gyn. He won't tell me why I have to go to an emergency visit with him until tomorrow. Wish me luck. Hopefully I will be able to go to camp.

Anyway, blogging out.

Accepted

In December I applied to Wayne County Community College District ( WCCCD)- Eastern Campus, because I thought no one else wanted me. Anyway they sent the acceptance letter in January, but somehow I didn't get it until last month. I jumped up and down seeing that it was the first college that accepted me, granted it is only a community college. I felt great and it will be a good stepping stone. I plan to go there for a semester and transfer to a university.

Today I showed it to my uncle and to my surprise my uncle laughed and said that I should be there now because I was accepted to the Spring semester. I called to let them know that I applied to the fall semester and to my dismay the number doesn't work. So now I am at the library trying to find the updated number and so far no such luck. Looks like i am going to have to go up there and talk to a counselor.

I have chosen a field that I want and I will not change my mind. I am going to choose LPN and then go to a college for Anesthesiology and become a Nurse Anesthesist.

If somehow by some miracle I get married I will at least be a LPN in case something happens.


Anyway that is my story and I am sticking to it. At least for now.

Oh and does anyone know how long it takes to be a LPN and does BYU offer that or just RNs?
