I finished it.

High school is over. I graduated yesterday. I am no longer a high school student. It's summer. And you know what? I don't like it. Holy cow. I still have fifty four days until I enter the MTC! I don't know what to do with my life. It's ridiculous.
High school was great, but I was more than glad to leave after the senior all nighter. It may be that I already pulled an all nighter this last week finishing my viral mission call video, but all nighters are a little immature. I like sleeping. I feel like I should just love not getting any sleep, but I don't.

For the heck of it, here is a list of things I never did in high school:

  • Never kissed a girl.
  • Never sluffed class to go to Hart's (however on many occasions I sluffed Pretend to Exercise (PE) many times to go to seminary).
  • Never got in a physical altercation.
  • Never got detention.
  • Never had to go to attendance school. That's right, this guy is no slacker. On time most of the time.
  • Never did the school talent show.
  • Never gave a speech to the school while running for Student Body President. I don't care that I didn't win, but I love public speaking. 
  • Never was in a play/musical.
  • Never played football as a Viking.
  • Never read Lord of the Flies.
  • Never had a girlfriend.
  • Never bumped into a girl in the hall and as we're both picking up her papers, we accidentally touch hands, look into each other's eyes and then fall in love. That never happened. Close, though.
  • Never went on a date with a cheerleader.
  • Never got beat up by the star quarter back.
  • Never won anything significant besides third in the state science fair.
  • Never tried out for a sports team.
  • Never really managed to get any of the girls I liked to like me back.
  • Never build a birdhouse in Wood shop.
  • Never called it Wood shop until just now.
  • Never had a limo for a dance.
  • Never went in the tunnels. This one is actually really disappointing. I have wanted to go in the tunnels since I knew they existed. I always wanted to make videos in there. Not even videos about the tunnels, just videos in the tunnels. I have failed because I once said I would not graduate without going in the tunnels first.
  • Never blew up the Death Star.
I think that last one is proof enough that I am out of ideas. 

Honestly though, as much as I will miss high school, I am ready to move on because I really just want to be in the mission field. There will be a few good things this summer, but all in all I need to go to Italy. I am taking online courses free on memrise.com. Check it out. It rocks.
Have a good summer. See you in a while.

I still have a glob

You know those times in life that you are super busy and when you aren't super busy you're too tired and wanting to relax to talk about how busy you are? That's me. I didn't sleep last night. At all. I was awake for thirty one hours straight doing the average Wyatt All-nighter job: editing a video that people actually need. I seem to do that. I am so tired. I slept for four hours, so at least I've got that. Also, the video isn't working. So that's about par. Three months of work topped off with an all-nighter and the product doesn't work. 

Seriously. I will never produce films because I can only do 95% perfectly and that last 5% is always broken. Not that the 5% is always the same. Sometimes it's blurry camera work. Sometimes it's crappy sound. Sometimes it's just a lack of time. Sometimes it's because my computer needs refurbishment but the only Apple employee that doesn't think so is the only person who could fix it. Sometimes it's a completely random problem that I have no idea how to fix. I'm done with high school and I want to be done with this video.

So I am done.

I'm getting too old for this

The activities at the high school are different. I don't know what's up. I feel like I am more like a teacher. I feel like I am not the focus; not the target audience. I am literally getting too old for this high school thing. One month left. I hope I can do it.
