Yeah, its been ahwile since ive posted, i know, but thats because its been a busy couple of weeks!! i wont bore my public ;) with boring details and such, so ill try to keep my comments to subjects of interest...lol! anyway, school has been going fairly well, only its been sad since soccer season ended. im making it ok though! also, the college application proccess has been a headache! so far ive gotten everything completed except for the essay section of the BYU application process. i think im going to apply to BYU Idaho, SVU, and perhaps another utah college depending on how things go. one cool thing i found out was that one of my close friends was going to BYU, so that would be cool to get to room with him, its just cool to know some other "southern" boys are going out to BYU with me! in other news, this 6 weeks is over, meaning i have 4 more grading periods before my senior year is over! and the good news is that ive compiled some really good grades! for this 6 weeks ive got a 99 in AP Cal, a 96 in Honors Eng, a 96 in Honors Arch. Drafting, and finally a 100 or a 99 in Intro to TV Prod. its nice to have a few more good grades to add to my high school transcript. Lastly, i had my youth council meeting last night, as well as a youth fireside, which i spoke at! it was really cool, not to mention i was extremely nervous, considering it was my first "stake" speaking assignment. the funniest thing was that my mom sent my little borther with a mini tape recorder to record my talk and all the good comments people said about it...haha....it was pretty funny! i just hope people dont think im conceited or anything...but it was cool...very mom like! and trust me mom...thats a good thing! anyway, im out...im going to try and get some serious work done on my college essay so i can hopefully finish wrapping it up. oh yeah...if anybody has any tips on writing a 300 hundred word essay about personal achievemtns, recognitions, or other such things that make me a stand-out college candidate, i would appreciate the help!

   If they could just call me, your mom, I could tell them all the reasons they should let you in. I could tell them just how lucky they would be to have want to go there - whatever college it is! You know how those braggy moms can be! :) I always like to say good things about how special my kids are! I think you would enjoy and have good experiences at any of those colleges you mentioned, and I know you and Ethan have talked about how cool that would be to be out there together and possibly get to room together. I feel sure the right things will work out with your decisions.
