I've been working my butt off at Arby's in American Fork (come through the drive thru and you'll prolly see me!) but making purdy good money so I'm not complaining much. My bosses and the people I work with are SO amazing! Tammy is formidable, being the General Manager, or boss of bosses, but she is hilarious and tries to make everyone feel comfortable while still getting their jobs done. (She still scares me though...) Rocky is...a great person outside of work. Yeah. We'll go with that. (He's a slacker manager.) I have a couple other friends about my age from work, too. Zack, Preston, and Matt all go to East Shore, the troubled teens school, and, though they have sailor mouths and questionable morals, they are way fun to mess around with and hard workers. Todd is a little younger than me but hilarious in his own way and great with fries. Caleb teases me all the time but he's totally cool and keeps me calmed down when Rocky drives me crazy. Manny and Eddy are two of the Mexicans who work at Arby's and they are the biggest flirts and dorks! Kayla is another manager and she's very quiet and efficient but anything she says is so funny! Zoila is another manager who's very nice but has a strong accent so sometimes I can't understand her. Gale is the funniest, most eccentric manager ever and EVERYONE loves her! And last, but not definitely least, Robert Eklof is my age but doesn't go to my school. But we instantly became near best friends the second I started working at Arby's. We hang out ALL the time outside of work and we both have the dorky-est personalities that build off of each other until we're both rolling on the floor laughing for absolutely no reason while everyone else stares at us.

All in all, I LOVE it at Arby's! :D

School is pretty fricking amazing so far. I don't hate any of my classes yet which is always good. First I have weights with one of my best friends, Megan Rooker. And let me just get up on my sope bocks and say that taking weights with friends who are ten times more athletic and skinny than you is a little bit intimidating. Megan is going to MATC for cosmetology so she may be playing with my hair a wee bit. So if you see me with purple hair with blonde and green streaks, it wasn't my fault. But I digress. Weights is actually okay. Good exercise moosic. Possibility of losing weight. What's not to love.

Next is one of my ultimately favorite classes and I'm not even in it. I'm a teacher's aide for Mr. Joseph Carpenter, also called Joey, Carpenter, Jo, Carp, Carpentero, the Burrito Man, etc. He is possibly the most amazing man alive and, though this may sound creepy, I want to marry someone like him. He writes, he has great family values, awesome mannerisms, and is hilarious. And teaches great. So I get to watch as he teaches some of my close friends how to write, seeing as it's a Creative Writing class. He says that he'll turn the class over to me sometime if he's busy. I'm his teacher's pet. So this class rox my sox. (Not to mention my boyfriend is in it. So I get to make fun of him the whole time. Ah, it's the little things in life.)

Next is AP Psychology which is hard-ish but enjoyable. I have this class with one of my closest and richest friends, Chase Williams. His father apparently makes fifteen bucks a second. Stupid rich people. He's fickle sometimes, but has a good heart. We get in fights sometimes but he's never done anything mean to me and so we are good friends. The class is very interesting so far. I'm learning a lot. And Shauna Kay is one of the funnier teachers who constantly rips on herself to make us laugh.

After lunch is Newspaper which I'm somewhat apprehensive but stoked about taking. I'm not so good with non-fiction writing and I don't know very many people in the class, since most of the people in the class have been in there since their sophomore year and are now editors. But it looks so fun that I can't help but get excited. The teacher is brand new and it's only her second year teaching but I think she'll be good for us and we'll be good for her.

On B days I have seminary first with Brother Cannon who I like so far. He seems to be a tad judgmental though like some Mormon people tend to be. There are some fun people in that class who I will get to know better I hope. I'm really trying to establish a good habit of prayer and scripture study to help me every day to be a better person. I hate it when people judge you if you're not perfect. Some people just don't understand when you're trying you're hardest. Micah Schow is in that class and he is seriously one of the coolest people alive. His personality is one all his own. And he started his own band for which I am a proud groupie.

Next I have choir and I absolutely love choir. I always love choir. Mama J is SO funny and sarcastic and cynical but an amazing woman with awesome beliefs and morals. I have lots of friends in that class because choir is like one big family. I'm so excited to sing my guts out.

Then I have a free period which I've been using for chiropractor appointments because my back sucks. But it's getting better. Ironic how a guy slamming big metal things into your back can make it feel better. Anyways. Moving on.

AP Lit is my last class and WOW am I learning a lot from Mr. Rees. My brain is getting bigger just thinking about it! My analytical skills are improving daily and his teaching methods are really helpful to me. I love it when teachers can teach.

But we have an assignment in AP Lit to do a resumé. And you have to list your accomplishments. And I haven't accomplished anything. Ever. I consider it an accomplishment that I can even function every day with the debilitating condition known as ADHD. It's hard to juggle a job and school let alone playing ten musical instruments and sports like other people can do... Sometimes I get ambitious and try to add something else to my list and it breaks me in pieces. What do I do? Will I ever get a job with my lack of accomplishments? Am I doomed to a life of little accomplishment?

My patriarchal blessing says to cherish the little things in life and not be discouraged if I don't accomplish huge things in life... Hm... Something to think about.
