The Deal

So yeah pretty much this blog has now become obsolete. Ignore it from here on out (unless I had some wonderful insight that you want to go reread, in which case feel free), because I added a new blog...I think. Scroll down, click on view my complete profile (or something like that), scroll down past all the completely useless information about your's truly, and click on the Junior Year blog, and you've got my new blog.
Yeah so this is Zelos signing off of this blog for what may be the last time.
It's been fun, and keep reading from my Junior Year.

Thems Are Some Good DrugZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

So I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and I was pretty much asleep on the couch the whole day after that, until dinner time. I've been in not very much pain ever since I got them out, the pain killer certainly helps, but even without the pain killer I can still get stuff done and not be in agony. I was really nervous that this would take up the rest of my week, and that I would be miserable all week long, but I'm not. I still can't eat much, but besides that I'm doing fairly well for my experience. So yeah that's pretty much it.
This is Zelos still kind of on drugs,
See ya.

AMAZING!!!!

I finished my stake's pioneer handcart trek today. It was pretty much one of the most humbling and amazing experiences I've ever had. I was disappointed that our stake didn't have any devotionals for us, but it was still really fun just getting to have those with my family (especially since I was big brother and in charge of them). The best part was getting stuck with seven complete strangers (nine if you count my parents) and two people I knew, and just having to work with them, get to know them, and befriend them, just so you could all survive together. It was amazing how impressive my siblings were, I felt like such a loser next to any of my siblings (except one of my sisters, who was the trial of the trek)and I felt so humble when my parents chose me to be big brother over them. My Pa ensured me before hand that both he and my first Ma (who left when her son had a seizure and was replaced by my second Ma) had felt impressed by the Spirit to choose me as big brother, which really kind of surprised me a little bit, since I wasn't the oldest there, I've always been little brother, and I had none of the skills that were necessary for the job. The only things I had to run on were a love of my siblings (which had to develop quickly since I'd never met them before), an amazing big sister (who was one of my major support groups for the trek) and a want for all of us to get through trek with minimal injuries. The trek wasn't trial free, but we were able to work through our trials (including a stream, a ravine, and an immense hill), and at the end of the day we were able to kneel together in family prayer, and feel the Savior's love for every member of our family. Our family also grew stronger together through the trek from the pioneer stories Pa would tell us during our breaks, and the games Ma would have us play to ensure that we grew together as not only friends, but as a family. My first Ma said it best at our orientation: "I want this family to be a forever family, and that's just what I'm sure it'll be." We grew such good friendships in the the family, even if we did have some issues as well. I'm grateful for the stake leaders and my Heavenly Father who put me in a family that would humble me and strengthen me. Some day I hope I'll be able to have my own family somewhat like the one on Trek (which is much like my real family), where not everyone is perfect or gets along, but where we all pitch in and do what's needed of us to make the trip easier, and we all work together to draw close to each other and God.

Planning

So yeah yesterday I had two of my friends over so we could plan our combined 16th Birthday party, and it was a lot of fun. We got a lot done, we were able to get almost all of our music together and we created our invitations. We had some issues with what we wanted, but eventually we all agreed on stuff, and it's all good now. So yeah life for now is good.
Oh yeah, and for those of you who care/don't care, I finished my 3rd chapter in my story. Which technically started out as my fourth, but I combined my 1st and 2nd into one, because it works better, and then I added Chapter 3, which is by far my favorite chapter yet...Anyways maybe someday I'll attach it, although the liklihood of that is slim.
So yeah, this is Zelos, actually getting things done,
Gotta get back to work.

Quote them...

Here's a thought for the mind:
"If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off." - My sister (who probably got it from someone else)
Just think about that for a second.
This is Zelos giving you a thought of the day.
Peace.

Productivity

It's sad that every day this summer I've had a plan of productive things I was going to do, and somehow I end up on facebook, or on the computer upstairs playing games... I just wish I knew some secret way to get myself to buckle down and do the things I know I should be doing right now...
Anyways this is Zelos,
Wish me luck.

Why is it?

Why is it that summer vacation seems so appealing when you're in school, but once you get there you aren't ever sure what to do with it...I've pretty much wasted away the first few days on computer, and now I'm bored with that, so I'm not really sure what to do anymore, so yeah...welcome to summer.
Anyways this is Zelos...maybe just a LITTLE bored...
See ya.
