The Game of Life

Who here likes the game of life? (Gage raises hand) I'm in the library, just finished my religion homework. The lights are off and the theme from starwars is playing for some reason. They play music for the last fifteen minutes before they throw you out. It's 11:18 right now and so I've got 12 minutes to post a blog. My life is busy. Not impossible. Just busy. I'm writing three stories for the Scroll Newspaper right now. Finishing one tonight, one tomorrow, and one by Saturday. This is that first part of the game of life, where you decide to go left instead of right and that means go to college. The funny part is that your really not more likely to get more salary in the game if you go to college, you just get more life cards. That's what I'm in this for. Life cards. Hopefully the money will come but whatever. This college game can be rough. I'm taking 17 credits (and a workload of more because one of my 1 credit classes is much more work than it should be.) I'm writing for the scroll, and I got called to be the Elder's Quorum President of my ward last week. I got two counselors called who I don't know, but their names kept coming back to me and it felt right when I prayed about it. I try not to question the Lord so they're my counselors now. Steven Cheng and Taylor Lyman. I'm excited for the calling though. I have to make assignments for home teaching and then keep up on everyone's home teaching and other things, but I think it's going to be a wonderful opportunity for growth. Who knows, maybe I'll even make headway this semester on getting the pink figure into the car with me and make that long drive towards "Countryside Acres". That's been (as I'm way to vocal about) a frustrating point of my life, but I'm learning to trust the Lord's time table and enjoy the chase. I would be much more concerned if I hadn't listened closely to my setting apart by my stake president. He blessed me specifically to meet my academic goals (4.0), meet my ecclesiastical responsibilities, and find time for a fulfilling social life (friends are great, check; #1 goal for dating? Get past a second date, no Idea what happens after that but hopefully I'll figure it out) Luckily I've been blessed with great friends, 4 brothers, and one heckuva parentals set. I'm out of time, the girl just told me I have two minutes. So goodnight America. Hopefully I spin a 10.
