Mission Weblog

I have created a new blog for my mission http://mission.carlbwade.us Here I will post things about my mission and things going on regarding my mission.

Updates

I haven't posted an update for a while now so here I go... First thing first I have submitted my mission papers to president of the GVB. Hopefully he will submit them to Salt Lake soon so that I will know when and where I will be going on a mission. I guess that it will happen in due time. Second, I hate work. Cannot wait till I can give my two weeks and be done. Third I told my boss about my plans to serve a mission, it went better then I thought it would have gone. So now once I get my mission call I can tell them when I will be quitting (which they will be sad to see me go). Other then those things not much is going on in my life. So those are the updates.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction - 24 hours later...

Ok so when I got home everything was going so well... until I started taking the medication. I took one pill of the penicillin and started to feel bad, really bad. I felt like I had a fever, my skin was crawling, I was dizzy, and felt like throwing up. After a few hours has passed and I had eaten something I felt normal again so I did not think anything of it. But this morning I took the penicillin again and the symptoms came back. So this time I decided to go to the hospital. Well this time I discovered that I also had a rash. And now I know that I am allergic to penicillin... what a way to find out that I am allergic to penicillin. Other then that there are no side effects of the wisdom teeth extraction.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Just got done with my wisdom teeth extraction surgery. I was a little nervous knowing that one of the dentist was a student who never done a wisdom tooth extraction before. It was kind of neat hearing the teacher talk to the student explaining how to do the surgery and why he should do somethings over others during the surgery. The teacher pulled two wisdom teeth to show the student how to do it and the student pulled out one. (I only had three total) Everything went well during the surgery I did feel a little pain but I started laughing at the pain. The dentist doing the surgery both looked at each other confused and said that they guess that it's better then my crying. I did spit up a little blood, some of it on my car, and I am swelling up a little bit but no pain.

My car is alive again...

I have made my car better, much better, with help of my friend Alex. It still runs a little funny under 30 MPH but it runs so much better at 35 MPH and over. We switched out 2 of the coils, we were going to switch out all three but one that I bought from the junk yard does not work. So the next thing I will be doing is buying a new coil and a water pump. Hopefully I can get it running next to perfect soon.

First Day of New Job

Today I started my new job and I am so overwhelmed. They had me do too much during my first day of training. I have a better understanding of what the job entails. I am proofing (sending and receiving), plate making, CTP checking, and project planning. I hope that I can do this and that it does not overwhelm me too much. Hopefully this will change after my training is over.

New Job

I have a new job... I went to interview at Printegra for a Order Processor job but during the interview the interviewer told me about another position (platemaker) that he felt that I was a better mach for, since my coop at RIT was platemaking, and by the end of the interview he gave me the job. So now I am working again... and using my degree!

Trip to Niagara Falls

This weekend I took a trip to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side and it was an awesome trip. I took the trip with some friends of mine from church and we left Friday afternoon. The first thing we did when we crossed the boarder was try to find out hotel... Lets just say that the driver took a few wrong turns. But when we made it to the hotel we had dinner at TGI Fridays which was really expensive, being it was in a tourist town. After that I was dragged to a Night Club for some reason... Lets just say that it was an interesting experience that I will probably never do again! After that interesting experience we actually went to sleep... The next day we walked around the falls and took lots of photos. We saw a show called Fury, it was a simulator show that showed how the falls were formed and then took the Journey behind the falls. For lunch we went to the Casino to eat at the Buffet. They had some really good food at a reasonable price. After lunch we jumped over to the US side of the Falls where we took some pictures and then headed back home.
