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.

So Yeah...

...It's summer time...and the excitement has not quite begun yet. I have awesome plans, but they don't really start forming until about Thursday next week, SOOOOO... So far all I've really done this summer is hang out in the sun, work in the sun, and sit in front of a computer screen and waste my life away.
First off I have had some fun this summer, including a golf trip with my brother and dad, a swim party at one of my friend's houses, and a memorial day picnic with the coolest ward EVER and some of the coolest youth...but on the other hand I have done my fair share of labor (which earned me $38 dollars (which actually only lowered my debt to $17, but who really cares). I spent Saturday mowing my lawn (which paid $10) and weeding someone in my ward's garden (for FOUR hours straight...talk about a LOT of weeds), plus today I spent about 2 hours cleaning my room, (but it's REALLY, super clean now)...but all in all it's been a pretty good summer
This is Zelos...just plain rambling.

10 Things That Make Me Happy

This is random...but I needed to write something cheerful, instead of just thoughts...although these are thoughts too, but they're happy thoughts:
1. Sitting on the beach with someone I adore and watching the sun set.
2. Standing in a strong wind, and just letting the wind blow around me.
3. Sitting on a swing set with my best friend and just talking.
4. Holding my nephew in my arms (even if he does burp up all over me).
5. Going to the temple and knowing I'm worthy to enter the house of the Lord.
6. Doing anything with my family (Nicole, Gary, Ethan, Abby, and Jeff included).
7. Standing on the deck of a cruise ship at night and staring out into the ocean.
8. Getting lost in a good book (reading or writing it), and forgetting all about myself
9. Serving.
10. Finishing something, and knowing that I did it, without anyone else's help.
I actually have a lot of other things, but I think those are 10 of the top just off my head.
This is Zelos...and I can't think of anything else to say...
See ya.

Just Some Thoughts.

I've had a lot of different thoughts swirling around in my head ever since the AP Exam (I think my mind just kinda went crazy without APUSH occupying it 24/7).
It's weird what all this summer is going to bring on...my brother is going to move out after it's over and go on his mission, which, as excited as I am for it, will make me the only child at home (something that's never happened to me before...long term). Also, this summer I'm spending a whole month in Utah with my sister, her husband, and my nephew Ethan. I'm extremely excited, but part of me is afraid to go back for that long, I'm not really sure how I'll handle being so close to my old home, but having so much changed. I also turn 16 in July (the age that from when I was about 5 I always wanted to be), and I'll be ordained a Priest, just two months after I wasn't the only Teacher in my quorum...
I've also been thinking about me. Sometimes I just wonder if I made the right decisions in my first few months here...it's been three years, and I'm not sure if I'm happy where I am. My family is great, and my friends (most of the time) are also great...but I still wonder if there wasn't something I should have done in those months to make sure that I was happier now.
That all sounded a little selfish...but sometimes I don't think I've done anything worth while, or I'm not who I really want to be...I just wonder if there's anything I could have done to change that...
Anyways this is Zelos, thinking,
See ya.

Stress

Well I have a week of TOTAL AND UTTER STRESS!!! It's the AP Exam week which means that I have to STUDY for HOURS, EVERY night...I probably should be studying right now, but I just finished an hour of studying already, so I'm taking a break. Anyways I probably won't update again until the end of this week, and for those of you who see me on a day to day basis, prepare for a totally stressed and unhappy Zelos.
Anyways gotta get back to studying.
See ya.
