- apartment shopping is no bueno. we've been looking for a place FOR.EV.ER. and just when we think we've got one, it's sold to someone else. right now, there's a place we really really like and we're in a good position to get it- I'm praying with a lot of energy we do because not having a place to live makes me anxious.
- General Conference was amazing- i was really impressed by the theme of service and it's interesting because i've been thinking a lot lately about what i can do to be more useful in the world and i've been wanting to do things. now, i have a command to do them, which gives me more motivation. i also really liked the talk about tithing because it's a principle of the Gospel that i've never really tested or applied full-heartedly to my life. but i want to and i will :) and President Uchdorf's jokes about planes and aviation just make me smile. we're guided by such wonderful, good and inspired people :)- my apartment has this weird smell, something like old eggs, brown, and mop water. i wish i were kidding. i'm very excited to be going home soon. seriously.
- we bought an N64 last weekend and Super Smash Bros. needless to say, i feel this is the best thing i've invested in all semester.
- the invitations are here! and we have to send them out to peoples. and that's exciting :)
- i have to write a 14 page thesis paper for my Humanities 420R class- i haven't started. and this time, our papers are being submitted to a board of Humanities teachers to be read. why couldn't that have happened last semester when i wrote one of my best papers yet or more importantly, when i had more motivation?
- i watched Tangled twice this weekend. i really really love that movie. it makes me happy and laugh and i just feel good. thanks Disney for giving the princess movies another go. although someone told me it's the last princess movie they're doing for a while. i hope not. - sometimes i feel like i'm a bad friend and family member. i feel like i'm selfish and can't get past my own problems to help those around me. i let my life and stresses get in the way. i need to be better about that.
- birth control does NOT make your cramps better; whoever told me that was very clearly lying. thank goodness for my heating pad and chocolatey milk.
- a little while ago, i wrote a blog about this song that i'm in love with by katy perry called 'E.T' feat. kanye west. the music video came out last week and i can't tell if i like it or not. it's weird- i keep watching it, trying to decide if i like it and sometimes i don't but then other times, i do. it's weird. here's the link if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5Sd5c4o9UM
- my mom is the greatest and most amazing person i know. i really love and miss my mommy and i'm excited to see her in 2 weeks.
- i think i have an addiction to Jdawgs. i believe it's in the secret sauce, which i suspect is laced with meth or cocaine. since last thursday, i've been to Jdawgs 4 times. this has got to stop.
- i want to go to the beach and lay in the sand and have that feeling of warmth all over. - we're thinking of getting smart phones for a new plan through Sprint, but can't decide if we want them or not. i'm scared of new technology, but if it's more cost efficient and full of awesome features, we should do it right? but it all depends if we have internet where we move to. either way, i'm in for a new phone, which is exciting as my phone resents me and won't let people call me anymore.
- speaking of technology, i got a new computer. Lula finally gave up the ghost... well mostly, i think she can be fixed but my dad wants a computer and my parents offered to buy me a new one so i opted for that. it's another macbook and i love it, i haven't named it yet, but i'm sure something will come.
- i'm writing this other paper for my English class about Cormac McCarthy's novel, 'The Road' and i'm relating the characters to the Holy Family and the changing of the role of the Virgin Mary. i regret not starting this paper earlier because the topic really interests me. i also can't decide if i liked the book or not. it's so sad and i'm a bit of an optimist so i have a hard time with sad literature. would i recommend it to people? hard to say... i also want to see the movie, but it's rated R. moral decision time... - something i'm excited about is having all these sticky notes on my computer desktop go away because it means that the semester is over, i'm married, we have a place to live, i've bought music from iTunes and it's summer :)
- i have to register for classes at UVU tomorrow night- i'm kinda excited, but i'm not really sure why. maybe because it's something new. i'm excited for the new.
- i'm on my last Redwall book as Brian Jacques passed away a little over a month ago. this makes me sad. i've grown up on these books and Jacques has been writing them all through my life, what'll i do when i finish this last one? i just love these books :)- one of my friends on facebook has the same wedding dress as i do and she looks stunning in it- i only hope i can look half as good as she does :)
and i think that's everything.
good night all, sweet dreams :)
I'm having a hard time with the death of Lula. I can't picture you on anything else! We had some good times. And, yes, I also want to be done with school, complete all my to do lists, on the beach
ReplyDeletei know! it was really sad, like she died last semester but we resurrected her so it wasn't permanent, but i figured this time, it was probably best to buy a new one. but it's hard. i miss her even though the new computer is like her clone.
ReplyDeletegood luck with the semester!! and also, i haven't seen you in forever, i'd like to sometime soon :)
