A Day in the Life

I think I've developed this new habit where whenever I have a HUGE exam coming up (Whatup, Southern Meso-American Art History), I turn to blogging instead. probably not the best alternative. Meh, I'm over it.

So life. life is full of changes. and it's incredible how day can change to night and everything is completely different. School is still school, my Southern Meso-American art history class will be the death of me (but thanks to the rebirthing process, I'll come back, no worries.)

But here is some sunshine: General Conference is this weekend and I could not need it more than I do right now. It's not really like I've got burning questions that I need answers to right now; it's more like I need the comfort from the Lord via His prophet and apostles because there's changes coming in my life that I need as much divine help as I can get. and the amazing thing is that I know the Lord knows this and I know He is so incredibly mindful of what I need to hear and that if I'm listening with an open heart and contrite spirit, I will hear that which will get me through. and this Sunday, I get to go to the afternoon session with some friends from home and my sweet Casey; I'm excited :)



So I just have to make it through Friday. And then it's Conference time. Thank goodness :)

bring it Popol Vuh.

Feeling Lucky

I SHOULD be studying for me Humanities 242 test, which is in 3 hours. Should. but instead, I'm sitting in the Wilk, sharing a table with a charming older woman (coveting her baked potato and praying she doesn't open her huge bag of corn nuts), drinking chocolatey milk, and watching girls get their hair cut for Locks of Love on the stage in the terrace (welcome to BYU).

This week has been an interesting one, I've learned a lot, made a few mistakes and spent most of my time on my knees. I've fixed a few bridges and learned how to build new ones. I've fallen in love with a few of my classes (hello Humanities 420) and realized that school isn't always fun, even when you have the best major (whatup Humanities 242...). I've had the talks that have started things in good directions and I've realized that I can balance, I can do what I need to and that the Lord is with me every step of the way.

and this girl on the stage has beautiful, thick curly hair and she's about to chop it all off. I feel like I should stop her. Anyways, the point of all this is that life is still beautiful, I'm happy with how things are, I can see the direction I want things to go and I know that I can do it. I know there's little stumbling blocks along the way but they're nothing I can't jump over and land gracefully.

I also love the song 'Promise the Stars' by We The Kings. you should all listen to it. now. :)

Invincible


So. School is stressful. I spend my nights on the third floor of the JFSB or the first floor of the Library until they kick me out. I read about 700 pages a week. I write about 2.4 papers each week. But I’ve never been happier- life is good :)
