Camp out

 Helix YSA had a ward camp out. It was awesome beyond words. I would love to do it again. It was quite a struggle to get to it. There were some hurt feelings, and lots of chiefs and not enough indians at some points. But it worked out in the end. And thankfully it did. We went camping up in the Laguna's. It was SO gorgeous!!! We were going from 100 degree weather to a cool 75. I was super cold the whole time and coming back down the mountain was the saddest moment I ever experienced. Going from gorgeous skies, the smell of nature, cuddling with friends, eating s'mores and woofums, talking to strangers, running around out of breath... to the heat and the every day grind was a devastating blow to my sanity. It has even been a few weeks and I am still wanting to go back up and just lay under the stars. They were seriously gorgeous. It was as if we were emmersed in the milky way. The stars were so bright and there were so many of them that it felt like you could reach up and when you pulled your hand back down it would be covered in star dust. (Star dust has to be glitter... I am pretty sure science has proven that they are directly related.)
  We played a game that Sister Pann put together. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, and I am really glad because I hate for people to come to activities and not enjoy themselves. Of course there was like 3 people who refused to participate, but that always happens.
This group here (myself included.. kinda) was the LAMEanites. They were against the Nephites. (sadly they lost because of a wiley one named Rodney. It was great. They got to have face paint and run around stealing precious treasures, and killing people (by sticking stickers on them)  We had a ton of new converts, and new members, less active members, and investigators go. Pretty much everyone that went has been coming steadily since then. It is so awesome how that plays out.
  Since then, I have become increasingly upset with the Regional YSA activities committee for San Diego. Seriously, they are fighting between themselves, and have gone so far over budget with their sub par activities that it amazes me that there are any activities. I am hardcore praying that a change will be made. And one for the greater good. If not then I just need to find some poor soul to marry and get the heck out of the YSA. :) But we all know that that won't happen until its time.. but until then I will suffer... silently?


OH well.

In other news: I love my photo class, but i hate the project we are currently doing. It is murderous. I don't even know where to begin with it. (well technically I have already begun.. but I need to finish and i need someone to help and that is being hard to find.)

Oh and I am doing pretty well in my teaching techniques class (aka i have a 101.75 % in it)
Euro. Humanities.. well.. the exam is next week and I am dreading it.
Intro Kinseiology... I cant stand the teacher shes insane. Seriously insane.
Choir... Obviously an A so far. I have to sing a solo for one of the songs and its so far from being a style i can stand. Oh well. whats a girl to do if she wants solo's in the future

well time for bed. :)

have a great day/night You are star
