Life as of lately

I seriously have been sick with some new illness for the past 3 weeks...
 It's STUPIDO.
And you know whose to blame? School.
 The first week I got the 24 hour stomach flue, the second week was a fever...
and now I have a stinking cold that is probably the worst cold I have ever had...
And it is always because some dork has that sickness in my class ( Which is usually a boy)
Lets be honest..Do they wash their hands a ton? Nope. Now we are all contaminated haha.
Cool thanks.
So my parents keep freaking out thinking I have issues because I keep getting sick
but I just keep telling them no really...it's school..So it's that kids fault it's not that I am a freak!
I am fine! I think I keep getting sick with something new each week because right when my body is trying to recover from the last sickness I get another one and it just punches me in the face because im not ready to fight off another sickness yet. You can imagine its been a long 3 weeks. Im not saying I haven't been able to go outside or to school and have been sick for literally the entire 3 weeks..I mean that I get it every week but I will be fine for half of the week too.. But I am just done being sick for any part of the week! I never want to be sick again! ..Once it got to this point of getting a new sickness every week I had a talk with my parents telling them that school is not healthy and that they should probably make me stay home.. They didn't buy it..But it was worth a try.
The picture at the top describes the past 3 weeks... reading books, learning french ( Ahahaha i was bored), looking through mazazines, taking a picture of my sick pile, and drinking Herbal Tea. That stuff works! I hate it..but it works. I use to think that drinking Herbal Tea mean't I was a sinner..But I am telling you now..If you are sick GO BUY TEA.. It is the best thing in the world when I am sick now. It helps I promise.
Lastly, On a brighter note we had the Temple Celebration practice this Saturday!! More than 12,000 youth in Gilbert went to the place that we will perform the temple celebration next week and had practice all day. Guess how long it was!! ( Back to a bad mood tone/ worth it tone) 15 HOURS. Highlight of it was 1. over 1,000 Hot mormon boys. 2. Exercise..sort of. 3. Getting to BE IN IT! Lows 1. No connection to the real world..( No cell phones, leaving etc) 2. IT TWAZ HOT. We live in Az so that sucks. 3. They had to cut it short because 12 people got hospitalized and the dust was choking everyone..So we will probably all get valley fever and die..HAHA just kiddinggg! I know I had my own complaints and that some parts I will admit were misearable because of the heat, I still had an amazing time. We all need a break from the world once in a while. We won't die from not having our cellphones for an hour... I mean seriously think about what others have had to do..Our generation has it SO EASY..It was sad how some people responded to the practice. I would look around at some people that made it fun because they smiled and actually danced and sang...and then there were the boys and girls that thought they were too cool for it ( Or for the prophet..? Who knows) and they would just sit and socialize and some would even make an excuse and leave. Yeah it was long and was tiring but this is the coolest experience ever! We actually get to perform for the prohpet next saturday! It is such an amazing experience. I am so thankful for the Gilbert  Temple and for living here and being the perfect age to perform in the celebration. It is such a blessing in my life and an experience that I will remember forever.
