Last Blog Post. EVER!

Okay, perhaps ever in all-caps is a minor exaggeration. Anyways, I'm leaving here shortly. Here are a few final, and ever-so-random thoughts:

-The last episode of Office that I will see for two years was the premiere of season five. And given the ending of the episode, its kinda like the perfect series finale for me.

-Zupas is one of the greatest places to eat ever! Try it!

-I don't mind not going into a depression, but the government bailout of the economy kinda sounds like socialism to me.

-Best show on TV none of you are watching: Bones. Wednesdays on FOX at seven.

Here is my mission address:

Elder Andrew Russell Hansen
California Fresno Mission
Provo Missionary Training Center
2005 N 900 E
Provo, UT 84604

A friend of mine is going to have her own password to my Facebook account (so I won't have any access to it (not that I would anyway!)) to keep it updated with addresses as I move about in the Fresno area. My MySpace is gone though (in case anybody out there actually still uses MySpace) Peace out.

Life right before a mission

I write often on this blog about things like television, movies, etc. The truth is I want to write more about myself. I sit down all the time to write a blog thats more personal and more about whats going on in my life. But every time I sit down to type it out...the words don't flow.

The truth is, I don't know how I feel about things. My emotions appear to be all over the place. Talking to a few close friends of mine, I guess going through a rough time happens to some other guys too before they leave.

There are a few specific things that have been bothering me, but the crux of all of it is that I won't be here anymore very, very soon. There are things I want to do, need to do, that I don't have time to do. Things that need fixing, people that need seeing, and I don't see how I can do it all. The confusion regarding a general lack of time has caused me to completely butcher the concept of time-management.

On top of all that, I feel like I'm squandering the time that I'm here by worrying about all this stuff. But I can't not worry about it. I think its in my genes. I can be care-free regarding many things, but when I get uptight about something, I really get uptight about it. Like to the point were my mood is destroyed entirely and I can't focus on anything else. In this case, its my previously mentioned thoughts above.

I want to enjoy the time I got. I just gotta figure out how to accept that things won't be ideal before I leave. Gotta love OCD.
