ARGGGGH. My plan this morning was to wake up early and listen to Music and the Spoken Word, eat breakfast and mentally prepare for conference. That did not happen.
Last night, In hope of finishing one of six books I am currently reading, I stayed up till 1 am to finish a book, and I didn't finish it. So this morning, I didn't wake up until 9:15, pacific time the conference broadcast starts at 9:00. I woke up and dashed around starting my computer and trying to get it to connect to the Internet, which it didn't want to do. Around 9:30, it was finally working, but I was still too distracted. I caught half of president Packers talk, but I had a hard time paying attention. another great talk started, I still am struggling to pay attention. I feel super tired, I could sleep another hour!! I have learned a great lesson about preparation by not being prepared. As I listen to the talks I know I need to hear them, I know they are great talks, I know I will have to listen to them and study them again later, but right now, I have a headache and I am having a really hard time hearing and feeling the words and the spirit.
I have learned that it is a bad Idea to stay up till 1 am the night before conference. things that are as important as the words of the apostles one has to be prepared to hear and get everything out of it that you could. Yesterday I did better to prepare, and yesterday I got a lot more out of it. Preparation is important.
