Afflictions

2011-08-29T00:22:00.000-07:00

But that ye have patience, and bear with those afflictions, with a firm hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions. –Alma 34: 41

Is a verse of scripture that I have saved on my computer, mostly for when things start going south. Now don't worry, nothing is wrong with me or my family but it's my friends that are having a hard time. Things just aren't going great for them and I'm not going into any details because that's their business and not mine. But as selfish as this might sound it makes me glad for my life, I mean I look at it and I just say to myself this is great. You've got a wonderful family, a stable life, you're going to school, and you have people who care about you. Nothing could be better.

And so I just want to thank the people who made and make my life better and also to let my friends know I care about them, even though it's really hard for me to show it.

I love you!

HOLY CRAP!!!

Wow, it's been a whole year since I've written on this thing. Sorry but I've been inspired by my awesome friend Katy who just started a blog. English is my major with an emphasis in creative writing haven't really picked a minor. Still haven't been on a date but I don't really care since I have awesome friends and we've formed our own She-woman man hater club (Little Rascals reference!). But yeah it's been a fun and interesting spring semester of 2011. Now it's the end of the semester and finals are killing me, mostly because I'm the worlds greatest (worst?) procrastinator and I have to stay up all night most of the time. I'll try to update this thing more since my friend Kayla Thomas is coming to live with me during the break , she lives in Maryland and costs to much to go home just for a couple weeks. Hope life for people who read this (who reads this?) is going great. OH! I'm getting a new sister (in-law) Katie Conway soon to be Nelson!

2010

2010-06-07T09:08:00.000-07:00

Nothing has happened so far in my newest semester of college. Haven't gone on a date, don't have a boyfriend and my classes are all pretty boring. It has pretty much rained/overcast for like three weeks and as much as it pains me to say it it reminds me of Twilight. Yeah not much to say... LOST had a good ending and this proves that I'm at a church school when I say that the island was totally like the premortal existence. Yep so now there's nothing else to watch on TV, not that I have a TV. Don't know where I'm going to live next semester, trying to get on the waiting list but as of this post I am 65th out of 134th so we'll see. I still haven't decided a major but was thinking about either History or English but I'm not really sure. Yep and that's about as exciting as it gets around here. So if something exciting does happen I'll post it. Bye-bye!

Jordan's first date

2009-10-10T22:25:00.000-07:00

Well Jordan has his first day for "Homecoming" and I use quotations only because they didn't actually go to the dance, instead they went to Lion King :). Here are some pictures that my mom took.

Internet

2009-09-28T19:45:00.001-07:00

I have internet, they fixed it.

Regarding before

2009-09-23T09:04:00.000-07:00

Okay so when i said that my internet was working, that was false. It seems it only worked for an hour and then died so sorry.

College

2009-09-22T10:01:00.000-07:00

Well classes okay i guess, homeworks a killer. But the reason i haven't been able to up date this blog is because my internet has been down since Friday the 11th. So I've been having to go down to our laundry room to do homework. But if any of you want to send me something, like a care package or posters. Then here's my address:

Rebekah Nelson

211 Virginia H. Perkins Hall

525 S Center St – 0031

Rexburg ID 83460

So if you feel the need to send me something there you go. But yeah suddenly when i was uninstalling my printer and reinstalling it the internet decided to start work. But my roommate, Lauren couldn't get hers to work? I don't know what it is but no one else is home at the moment to test if their computers work. So its 46 degrees here and the high is something in the upper 70s. Kinda cold but its sunny so that makes up for the fact.

Dorm

2009-09-09T17:37:00.000-07:00

Well this is my dorm. As you can see its very sparse; if anyone has any old posters or some kind of decoration they don't want, that can be stuck up by tape then you should tottally send it to me.

Yes and those were the only posters we could find! Sad, though i like them.

Arrived

2009-09-07T20:18:00.000-07:00

The wide open spaces of Idaho... very exciting.
On the road towards school. For some reason my air conditioner decided to break, so it was very hot in the car!
Full of stuff and still had a couple more boxes in mom and dad's car.
Me and Mommy... talking a picture on our road trip.
This is my room after i got everything set up. It's really hard getting off that bed, I've got to close the door and use it to get of. You'll notice my Heroes poster:)
My fan to make it feel more like home and give the room some personality.
Legolas and my closet. So that was the tour of my room. My dorm mates' name's are Hailey, Lauren and Bri. I don't really remember what the other girls are majoring in but Bri (my roommate) is a music major and wants to be a choir teacher. Not much to tell about except my feet are killing me. So if anyone has any questions just ask. ;)

The time has come....

2009-09-06T00:16:00.000-07:00

And since I can think of nothing to say I'll just leave this:

My heart untravelled, fondly turns to thee;
Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain,
And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.

Oh a sad day indeed :(

2009-03-21T09:29:00.000-07:00

What has the world come to when a girl can't even play a game of Mario Cart without putting her in life threatening situations? I was minding my own business when all of the sudden I look over and see on the arm of the couch... a black spider just sitting there menacingly. To my horror I realize that he could have been there the whole time! And I had leaned on the arm of the couch! Then something worse comes to mind! What if he had been on me the whole time?! I jumped up as a scream was stuck in my throat; oh how he must have been taunting me! Quickly and with precise ninja action I grabbed the nearest shoe (Jordan's old flip flop) and proceeded to smack the life outta that thing! Now most of you might be thinking "Bekah, it was a little spider! Get over it." But I can't I tell you. Now for weeks to come I will be paranoid, itchy and I won't be able to sleep in my room or play video games down there for like a week! And if that wasn't bad enough I throw the shoe down and see something else on the ground!

A small snake a Red Racer slithering towards the small arm chair. Now thoroughly scared outta my wits I jumped on a foot stool and screamed for Jordan, who had been asleep on the couch upstairs last I saw him. He came down and we proceeded to have a manhunt (or snakehunt if you will) for the fugitive. And by "we" I mean Jordan as I was still on the stool. After Jordan was about to give up he saw something moving and grabbed the small creature. Needless to say I was pleased and followed him upstairs. Before putting him outside in the yard Jordan took a few pictures with his camera. No that is not me holding it! It's Jordan's hand.

Needless to say I had had enough adventure for one day but I look up and what do I see? A mosquito looking bug chilling out above me. By now I'm quite worn out by my previous two intruders so I hurry to the fly swatter and kill him quickly then throw him out with a paper towel. But what to my surprise when I see the front door standing wide open! Then I remember Dad was outside working in the yard. Well feeling quite angry I shut the door. And that is the tale of the most exciting thing that has happened in weeks. And it all happened before 9:30 this morning!

Hunger Games

2009-01-15T20:38:00.000-08:00

Okay, I've just read what is now going on my favorites list. It's called Hunger Games and is written by Suzanne Collins. It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a dictatorship called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where a ruthless Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts, who are then pitted against each other in a game of survival and forced to kill until only one remains.

Besides keeping me on the edge by the tension written in. It has you rooting for a happy ending even though you know it might end bittersweet. It's 300 pages but it doesn't get boring or monotonous. I strongly suggest you read this book.

From small beginnings come great things.

2009-01-12T13:55:00.000-08:00

Well after much persuasion by those who will remain nameless I have started my own blog, boring as it might become. So not much about me... I'm an 18 year-old senior in High school and just got accepted into BYU Idaho. My life up to this point has been boring and mediocre, though I wish it could be exciting. My life consists of school and messing around on the computer.

I've come to realize more and more that I get super annoyed by people, immature people. I mean really; there's a time and a place to act like a idiot and during school isn't one of them, unless it's during lunch or something. I need to go to a place where people act a bit more mature; at least when it's time to get things done. I'm done hanging around little irritating High school kids. I'm an adult, a young adult, but an adult non-the-less. Sooo.... I guess if something of mild interest happens I'll tell you but till then you'll have wait for my ramblings.
