Sick - Yesterday's Post

I was sick all yesterday. I managed to go to the recording studio to record "Wake Me Up When September Ends" but that was pretty much all I did. I was going to go to class after the recording studio but felt so weak that I decided it was time to go home and sleep. I really couldn't do anything in class anyway, and I'd probably get to class just after it would end.
So I lay down. And tried to sleep. Probably an hour later, I actually slept. For about an hour.
I didn't eat all day. Didn't study the scriptures. Didn't really do anything. I watched 2 episodes of Community. That was basically my entire day.
I'm grateful to my brother. When he found out that I was sick, he offered some medicine. I'm not sure if the medicine helped or not, but I'm grateful that he was willing to help. He did more than I expected in an attempt to help, and when people do more than I expect, that's when I feel loved. It's not often that I recognize people are going above and beyond the call of politeness, but when I do, I feel loved for it.

Narrowing

During our Writing class, we talked quite a bit about narrowing topics down to sub-topics - narrowing from "Immigration" to "The DREAM Act", from "A.I." to "A.I. drones for military and medical purposes", and from "Film" to "Creative control for film directors". That narrowing turned out to be a theme throughout the rest of the day. Story time. On my way out of the Taco Bell on Campus, I picked up some mild sauce packets, the ones that have playful (sometimes flirtatious) messages on them. One of them said "I think you're pretty", so I took it with me, intending to give it to a girl. I saw a cute girl on my way out of lunch and opened the conversation by giving it to her and saying "This is for you." She really appreciated it and we started talking about our majors and our loves for music. I got her phone number and texted her later on in the day. Oddly enough, she actually responded. I was really sur

A Need for the Spirit

I've been trying to overcome a particular sin, but half the time, I just don't care about it. While I know intellectually that it's wrong, it doesn't seem like a big deal right now, and it was enjoyable. So I kept doing it. Over the last few days, I've been remembering "I'm teaching in Church on Sunday, and I want to have the Spirit with me", or "I want to attract such-and-such girl, so I want to have the Spirit with me", or "I want to teach better, so I want to have the Spirit with me." So I've been deciding recently to do things that would invite the Holy Ghost into my life a little bit more - studying the Book of Mormon a little bit more and a little bit deeper, discussing a few more spiritual topics with friends, attending the temple a little bit more, and resisting temptation a little better. Today, I spent the time during the Sacrament Hymn to actually prepare for the Sacrament. I got to see the consequences today when I t
