Moving

So Wednesday night one of my class mates knocks on my door and tells me he just heard rumor that we were going to have to move.  The next day after lunch he gives me a new key and says rumors true.  So today, because, I did not have any retest I moved.  I went from a nice 1st floor, end of building, no one on either side of me to second floor, middle of building, with a smoker on one side room.  I have only ten weeks left out of 41.  It was not a very happy day, till...


While at lunch with a friend I heard "Jack and Diane" on the radio and then again on Pandora while I was just about done moving. So I made a Facebook post about it: Jack and Diane...crank it up...love this song. 
Then my son posted the following commit: Yeah... I'm not sure I have ever, or ever want to hear you say 'crank it up' again.
That was the first good laugh of the day.  Then later during a chat with an other friend I asked what was up, answer "the moon".  I just had to laugh as that is something I would have said.


I did have a long and enjoyable lunch with a friend today.  It was nice to just sit and talk for a while.  That was followed by hot wings for dinner with a group from the barracks.  You just have to love hot wings and beer (the root kind for me).


Lucy seems to be liking the new room.  I did have to make some modifications to her box as she was getting out.  I found her sleeping on my bed curled up in my shirt.  She is very playful and likes human attention.  I let her run around the room when I am in.


As for school, block 9 is done and we start 10 on Monday.  It is said to be one of the hardest blocks.  We will have 15 test in 4 days, then lecture of the lab portion of the block.  In the lab we will be working on the 'Continental', it is an x-ray machine.  The good part is lecture and lab will be broke up by a 3 day weekend.


p.s.  form being mailed tomorrow and did not ask.


Reading:  The Work and the Glory  by: Gerald N. Lund

D&C 135: 3 Joseph Smith, the ^aProphet and ^bSeer of the Lord, has done more, ^csave Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it. In the short space of twenty years, he has brought forth the Book of Mormon, which he translated by the gift and power of God, and has been the means of publishing it on two continents; has sent the ^dfulness of the everlasting gospel, which it contained, to the four quarters of the earth; has brought forth the revelations and commandments which compose this book of Doctrine and Covenants, and many other wise documents and instructions for the benefit of the children of men; gathered many thousands of the Latter-day Saints, founded a great city, and left a fame and name that cannot be slain. He lived great, and he died great in the eyes of God and his people; and like most of the Lord’s anointed in ancient times, has sealed his mission and his works with his own ^eblood; and so has his brother Hyrum. In life they were not divided, and in death they were not ^fseparated!
