It's Sunday. You know what that means? Church! Yep, I definitely have to go to church on Sundays. So what did I learn about in church today you might ask. Well let me tell you, from the beginning.
Last night, my mother skillfully reminded me that I had fast offerings the next morning. I complained, of course, but set an alarm as she had suggested, so that I could wake up in time to fulfill my priesthood responsibilities. I set my alarm for seven in the blessed a.m. That was definitely a mistake.
This morning I awoke to the song 'Written in the Stars' by Tinie Tempah. Yes, that is how you spell his name. I did not rejoice that I had woken up so early in the morning. I realized almost immediately after I had waken, that I did not have to be out of bed until ten o' clock. That's what really irked me.
So I went back to sleep, after setting an alarm for ten. But instead of waking up pleasantly at the appropriate time, I slept through my alarm. Few things are worse than that. Breaking your femur and going into labor are like the only two things I can think of that would make me feel worse than that.
I did not wake until my mom called me at 10:30. The conversation went a little like this. "Hello?" "Do you know what time it is?" I looked at my phone. "Oh crap!" Yeah, that's pretty much what happened. So I got up, went to fast offerings like fifteen minutes late, and had to walk up the biggest hill in my neighborhood to fulfill my priesthood duties.
Then I went to church, learned about Revelations, then about Missionaries, and then I got to come home for the rest of the night. That was nice. I hate having to do things after church. We played a couple board games and the N64, ate dinner, and watched some Christmas movies.
Now my mom's telling me to get off her computer or she's going to kill me. That means that I have to go to bed in the next five minutes, or when I do go to bed, I'll never wake up.
TTFN! Ta-ta for now!

Food Drives.
Alright so today I'm up at 8:00 in the morning on a Saturday. This is not how early I wanted to be up. At least it's for a good cause. My scout troop and I are collecting food drive donations from my neighborhood in six minutes so I decided that instead of taking a shower, or eating breakfast I would get on the computer and check Facebook and stuff.
Let me talk a little about my scout troop. We've basically segregated it into two different groups. The 'cool' kids and the 'lame' kids. I'm obviously with the cool kids, (XD), along with my pals Austin Shelley, Caleb Gay, yes his last name really is gay, and Hyrum Atkinson. In my mind, they're actually all a bunch of idiots. Sometimes I wish I didn't know them. But I do.
Other times though, they're the best guys in the world. They've got my back and they help me out when I can't do something or I don't know what to do. They're also really reckless. It's pretty dangerous most of the time, but it's fun nonetheless. I've probably just about died like 20 times with those guys.
We go on lots of campouts together. We went up to the Uintah's a little while ago, and we had to make our own shelters. It was way cool. I've got to go now or else I'm going to be late for the food drive. But I'll post later so be sure to come back!

Hello.
Hello. My name is Nik. I decided that I'd like to do a little bit of blogging for the next little while just to see how it turns out. I'm going to be talking about just a few of the things that happen in my daily life.
Today I had my second basketball game of the season. I play for my Junior High's basketball team and our season just started. Our game today was an away game and being only the second game, it made our whole team nervous. We wanted to win, but not badly enough. We ended up losing 73-42. It was pretty brutal.
I felt that I did great. I got a couple of swats, got five points, (They were all free-throws. I've made five of my seven attempted free throws this season.) and broke a kid's nose. That was the highlight of my day. He was crying like a baby and as if that wasn't enough, his nose basically erupted in an explosion of blood and mucus. It was pretty gross honestly. He was taken out of the game and to the hospital shortly after. It was awesome.
I wouldn't have even played in the game today had it not been for my determination, and my mad skill when it comes to procrastinating. I don't just put things off until the day before, or the day of, or half an hour before it's due, I put it off until I am sitting in class with the teacher staring down at me asking where my assignment is. I think at that point it turns into ignorance rather than procrastination.
I had a 'D' in my algebra 2 class. I cannot participate in any sporting events unless I have no deficient grades. Those are D's and F's. I managed to get my grade up to a C- by 0.87% and I was allowed to play in the game.
It's a shame we lost.
