Ruth

So I reread the book of Ruth in Guitar class.  It was awesome.  I have another role model now.  :)  Some things you have to reread until it just clicks.  Or, the more you read it, you get a better understanding.  There's a quote I remember, You learn line upon line precept upon precept.  Which I think it's true.  So anyway, Ruth is a really cool person.  So my role models are: my older brother, Jesus, Joan (of Arc), Ruth, and Nephi.

So in guitar class we are learning more scales.  We were tested on the natural, harmonic, and melodic ones today.  I really enjoy learning more about music and how to play instruments.

I remembered to bring my lunch money today. Yay.

I'm hoping that it won't rain after school because I really want to draw that one house and do some scenery drawings (OK, maybe the scenery drawings I'll do on a sunny day, but maybe on how the clouds look I might still draw some).  I want to pick up on my "hobbies" or whatever you want to call it again.  Because I know I'm not perfect.  Or maybe I should call working on my skills?

I really do think that school is getting easier.  Less homework=more time to do reading and other fun things.  But it can also mean time to do all those chores. -_-

Anyway...

I decided I need to buy more jeans.  I'm wearing shorts today because my mom has been having the washer and dryer, and I haven't been able to wash my clothes.  I just don't really like wearing shorts.  I feel dumb in them.  I rather wear my spandex, but you can't wear those for normal clothing.  Spandex is meant to be worn while playing a sport or exercising.

I want to go to the Harrisonburg Library sometime to walk around.  Actually, I think I would prefer to go to the JMU Library.  I have never been there.  Or...does Bridgewater College have a library?  Maybe I can convince one of my friends who go to Bridgewater to take me to the library there.

I need to work on being a better person.  I feel like I am going downhill.

I need to contact my hometeachers.  They said they were going to see me  but they haven't.  So I need to call them and ask them when they can come.  Which reminds me, I need to call the Elders too and let them know when they can come next week because they said they weren't able to come by today.

I just know that I can do so much better.  I just don't know why I am being like this.

I miss the Gooss family.  They're a great family if you ever get to know them.  I'm really happy that I got to know all of them.  I want to see them again.

I'm thinking about not doing volleyball this upcoming fall.  Mainly, I want to concentrate more on school and be able to work still.  I also want to be able to relax.  Last fall just seemed crazy because it seems I didn't have time to do anything.

I didn't have to give my sister a ride today.  She got one of the cars fix and is driving that.

I feel...I'm not sure how to describe it...tired now.  Maybe I should try to go to bed earlier?

I think I need to put more effort at home...We haven't had FHE (family home evenings) for awhile.  But it seems by the time I get home and finish eating, Mom and Dad are going to bed.  Maybe we'll get to do that today since I don't have work today.  Or maybe I can get Mom and Dad to do it on Sundays.  The thing is though on Sundays, I'm not sure how the rest of the family will look forward to that.  Like, I want to read scriptures together and play hymns.  That's my approach to it.  Others I know play games, but there just isn't really any games I want to play.

I want to get a dog when I move out of the house.  I just need to make sure it gets along with my cat Ichigo.  The kind of dog I would like to get would either be a collie or a golden retriever.

Oh, Ashley's boyfriend (Brackston...I don't know how to spell it, I can say it though. :) ), loan me some boys.  The Art of War and Ninja ( I think that is what it is titled).  The Art of War is pretty good so far (I'm still in the Translator's Notes section.  It seems big).

I'm gonna go now and read.  Later.
