Being Sick

I have officially decided that being sick is bad. What is worse, though, is being sick at college. For the past 3 days all I've had to stare at were my blank walls, useless flyers, Facebook, StarCraft, or homework. However, I was somewhat productive as I wrote an insight paper for my Book of Mormon class and finished up one of my Great Works papers. It's also given me ample time to read my scriptures, and even delve a little in James E. Talmage's "Jesus the Christ." I didn't know it was written back in 1911. For some reason I thought that it was a much more recent publication. Guess I was wrong.

Now that I'm better from whatever version of the flu I had, I should probably start trying to catch up. Missing 3 days of classes = no bueno.

Adios!

Brigham Young University

BYU is so amazing! I love the college atmosphere here. There are so many great people and they all share the same moral values and principle I do. General Conference was so amazing these past two days... Just wanted to say something, so there.

The truth of the matter is this: if you want something to get done, get out there and do it!

"Hope can inspire dreams and spur us to realize those dreams. Hope alone, however, does not cause us to succeed. Many honorable hopes have gone unfulfilled, shipwrecked on the reefs of good intentions and laziness."

- Elder Steven B. Snow

Presidency of the Quorum of the 70

Quote - "Traitor" - Matthew Stover

"Outside the universe, there is nothing. This nothing is called hyperspace. A tiny bubble of existence hangs in the nothing. This bubble is called a ship. The bubble has neither motion nor stillness, nor even orientation, since the nothing has no distance or direction. It hangs there forever, or for less than an instant, because in the nothing there is also no time. Time, distance, and direction have meaning only inside the bubble, and the bubble maintains the existence of these things only by an absolute separation of what is within from what is without. The bubble is its own universe. Within this universe, there are traitors. One is a teacher, and a student; another is a student, and a teacher. [for the two are one.]"
