December

School is finally over for the semester, and its an incredible relief. even though i'm not too optimistic about how i preformed in my classes, its good to have them over with. School was incredibly difficult, i spent most of my time trying to understand things and trying to get assignments done. I was in the library for most of my spare time. I need to pass all of my classes to continue to get the pell grant, and since that is how i am paying for school if i don't pass i will have to take some time off, save up some money, and thats not something that i want to do at all. I have already wasted enough time with that approach.

A cousin is getting married in idaho, and my family wanted to attend the wedding so i rode up with layna and my mom, then we picked up my other sister from the airport. She has been going to MSU on the star scholarship. By the time we got into idaho it had gotten dark, we could see the glow of rexburg in the distance, suddenly it all went dark. As we got into town almost no lights were on except the headlights of other cars. even the stoplights were out. luckily the rout to the place we were staying was out of the way and avoided stoplights. Some of our other cousins were there playing games by lamplight. I was curious what had caused the outage, but my phone had died on the trip up. i borrowed a blackberry, and luckily the towers were still working. there was nothing in the local news, and nothing on google news. I finally did a search on twitter and found tweets saying that a substation exploded, and that power to the surrounding areas was out as well. luckily power was restored about an hour later, though some places were out for three.

I hate social events so i stayed at my cousins during the wedding. Though they are having a gathering of sorts here soon, so i better make myself scarce.
