BIrthday Bash!!!

So it was my birthday yesterday!!!  And I decided that I wanted to document everything, I will now run you through the day's events... The night before, (or should I say morning of) I was uplate studying for an organic chemistry quiz... so here it is July 8th in a nutshell

12:30 am. I decided to watch the move "A More Perfect Union", at the time I figured it was a good idea because I had a test on it in less than 24 hours.

1:30 am. Found out that "A More Perfect Union" is way too long to be watching that early in the morning, so I decided to fast forward through the slow parts.

2:03 am. Finally finish the movie, brush my teeth and try to get some sl

eep.

4:56 am. Wake up from a crazy dream of all my hair falling out while fighting grizzly bears.

7:15 am. Hit snooze on the alarm.

7:25 am. Hit snooze on the alarm again

7:35 am. Realize that it is too late to eat a good breakfast before class, quickly jumped into the shower and got ready for the day.

7:50 am. Realize that I have the possibility of being late to my

Organic Chemistry class, run down to the car garage and jump the fence to try to get to class on time. Sprint up the hill, with my backpack on, only to get winded half way up. Stop, catch my

 breath, make a base camp and decide to finish hiking the hill tomorrow.

 (ok I made everything up from sprint. Did you really think I would sprint?)

7:56 am. Got to class on time before 8:00 realizing that I could have slept in another 5 minutes.

8:58 am. Have a 2 minute break where I decided to go to the vending machine to get the breakfast of champions!!!

10:00 am. Finish Organic Chemistry and walk to the neighboring building for my 2 hour American Lecture.

11:55 am. Wake up from american heritage lecture

12:07 pm. Finally get out of the Subway line, and go have lunch with my cousin Rachel!

12:45 pm. Go to an organic chemistry review for the quiz that I have.

2:00 pm. Take the quiz

2:48 pm. Finish the quiz and rush to lab to get started on my experiments

3:00 pm. to 4:30 pm ish. Boil some thing to get them to react, add different chemicals only to clumsily spill my reaction, spilling all of the product down my work station, and have it evaporate quickly. Try to salvage anything that I can end up just skipping the last 5 steps to purify the product and run it through the computer for testing. Some how it worked and I got great results. Who knew you could skip all the steps and do so well :) (My lab partner in the background)

4:50 pm. Finish cleaning up my station and rush to the cougar eat to get something to eat.

5:03 pm. Dinner of champions?

5:25 pm. Rush to the library to finish some last minute reading and cramming for my American heritage test.

5:56 pm. Realize that 22 years ago at this time I was born.

6:17 pm. Talk the long walk to the testing center and begin the test.

8:45 pm. Finally finish the crazy test only to walk out to find my score posted on this thing...

8:46 pm. Walk home to do some more studying.

9:58 pm. Realize that I am sick of studying all day, it is my birthday! I mean come on!!

10:12 pm. Treat myself to a sonic drink, actually convincing the workers to come out and sing me happy birthday

between then and like 11:30 pm. I did little random things to celebrate my birthday

12:00 Midnight. realize that I have 2 quizzes in the morning that need to be studied for and end up just getting ready for bed.

Happy Birthday Keaton!

So yeah that was my birthday!!!!!!! Then today Derrick, a good friend of mine and old mission companion (twice actually), ended up taking me to the Brazilian resturant Tucanos. It was also the celebration that we have been home from our missions for a whole year!!! It was great food and I think I'll be full for a week straight!

  

                             

2:58 pm July 9th- Write this article, realizing that I have been home for a year. Look back on life and realize that I have been surrounded and blessed by good friends and family. Thanks everyone :)

Love Keaton
