L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.

I've become a terrible blogger.

I still go read other people's blogs.  But I forget about my own.

Since I last blogged school has started, I flew home for a night, my brother opened his mission call, I've worked like crazy, gone to Sand Hollow, enjoyed a paint dance, gone to Lake Mead, got a boot on my car, went to St. George to hear Elder Holland speak, and been as busy as ever with life in general.

My brother got called to the Adriatic North Mission speaking Slovenian.

Now where is that at you might ask?  It includes four countries:  Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia.  It's kind of near Italy.  Something cool about it is that Bosnia and Herzegovina have never been opened to proselyting but will be in the next couple months.  So we think that that will probably be where Austin ends up first.

I'm only taking 14 credits this semester, but they're kicking my butt.  Between working at least 30 hours a week and all my homework I feel like I'm being worn thin.

And that is why I'm currently sitting in bed with a box of tissues.  Because I'm sick.  My throat is sore, I have a cough, and my nose is continually running.  I just love it.

For one of my assignments in Community Nutrition we have to live as if we were part of SNAP (used to be known as the food stamp program).  We have to live on $4.20 a day or less for 5 days.  I started it today and I don't think it'll be too bad.  I'm already not eating a ton since I'm either at school or work.  But since my mind is so focused on food and keeping track of everything I think I've been a little more hungry.  Maybe tomorrow and the rest of the days will be different though since I'll be back at school and work.
