Studying...

A quote I once read goes like this,   "Has anyone ever noticed that studying is STUDENT and DYING put together?" That's how I feel right now, me [a student] being stuck inside and wanting to do anything but what I should be doing [studying which equals dying].  I think I have studied more up at the U then I ever even considered doing at Dixie State, but it definitely is a good thing, and hopefully by the end of this semester, my grades will show for it.  [that's me trying to think positively].  I am a procrastinator,  I have been cleaning my apartment instead of studying [and blog stalking and posting], which leads me to my next problem...Tomorrow I have an exam in Health Psychology.  I do love the class, I just am nervous because liking a class doesn't necessarily mean I will get a perfect grade on the exam.  I can try though right?!! Ok, I will get back work.  [Wish me luck].

Presidents Day

Dear Self,
When you go home for a long weekend, you aren't suppose to come down with a cold.  Just throwin that out there. 
Love,
Me

P.S.  St. George was good! I already miss the sunshine, especially when I come up here and its raining. But I'm not complaining or anything. :)

Update...

So last weekend I was in Provo, UT for my little sister's State Swim meet, and I had two tests this week and have just been busy with school, so I decided now would be a good time to catch up.  Jacee did so well in her races and she took three 3rd places and a 5th place in her events.  She was able to place in all her events.  I wasn't able to go to any of her other meets this year and I forgot how much I enjoy and get into watching people race! Too bad this was her last swimmeet in her high school career.  It was really great to spend time with my parents and Chipper and other family last weekend.  

As for this week, besides being really busy,  I have made it a goal to become healthier and work out more often and I can seriously say I am excited for what's to come.  I'm so sore but I love the feeling.  I feel accomplished and healthier already!  

Since it's Presidents Day Weekend and I have no school on Monday, I decided to come home to St. George for a few days.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE warm weather and I'm so grateful it's been so sunny today.  It was great not having to wear a sweatshirt or two today.  I like Salt Lake, but I wish so much it would be warmer.  It's been a good weekend so far.  I have spent time with my brother and sis in law, friends from high school, my family (obviously), and grandparents.  I've watched some of the Olympics, caught up on American Idol, worked out at Summit Athletic Club with Jacee and have just enjoyed being home.  I love playing with my family and I forget how much we tease and laugh and have fun with each other.  I'm also really excited to go to my college singles ward and catch up with more friends tomorrow.  I LOVE St. George!

These are a few of my favorite things...

On the Trax

So today I decided to go exercise at the field house.  I threw on some sweats and my coat and was listening to my ipod while on the trax until this guy motioned he wanted to talk to me.  To be polite, I took out my headphones and he started up a converstation.  He started off the conversation by saying he was 48 years old, was on a fifth grade reading level, and asked if I graduated high school.  I told him yes, and he asked me to tutor him in reading and math at the library but I had to decline.  Then he looked at me and asked how old I am,  I said 21 years old and then he was kinda weird about it and said he was old enough to be my father.  A moment later he said he could be friends with my mom because they are probably close to the same age.  The whole conversation with him was just strange and I learned that he was partly schizophrenic, and he was interested that I am attending a Book of Mormon institute class but he cares more about the old and new testament.  He also asked me if I was rich because I wear "rich people clothes".  I was in sweatpants, so I don't know how he came up with that.  But it got me thinking that while I am not rich in how much money I have, I am certainly rich in blessings and family and friends.

I love Sundays...

I love Sundays so very much.  I love going to church and feeling God's love for me.  I love how it gets me back into what is important in life.  I also love how the Gospel is the same anywhere I attend a meeting, whether it's St. George, Salt Lake or even another country.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the truest church on the earth today and I love this gospel with all my heart.

Wow. Seriously?

So today... I don't know how to express how my day truly has been so I will just relive it so you can get the idea.
6:25am Wake up... it came way too fast.
8:05am Suppose to be in class but I was running late.  Park in visitor's parking lot since I didn't know where an E parking lot is.
8:08am Walked into class, luckily I didn't get lost and also the professor wasn't there yet.
8:50am Professor still wasn't there yet. A person is leaving, I look up and it was my cousin. We are in the same class. :) Leave class, pay $2 for parking in visitor's spot.  Go back to apartment before my 10:45am class.
10:45am Human Development Class was fantastic.  I'm excited for that one! Cell phone's battery is almost dead.
12:30pm Leave my third and final class for today.  Can't find parking lot where I parked my car (By this point I found out where an E Permit parking lot is, and did park there). Cell phone is dead.
1:30pm Still can't find where I park my car.  I'm walking forever to find it.  Decided it's hopeless to keep looking without a map or functioning cellphone.  Walk back to Union building to use their computers to find map of parking lots.
1:45ishpm Finally find Car!! Feet are killing me and I drive back to my apartment. Eat lunch and recharge my phone and watch A Walk to Remember.
4:34pm Get phone call.  Talk to guy that says I no longer have a second interview at a bakery for a job since all spots have been filled. SO LAME!!
NOWpm: Can't wait til 6:45 to go to FHE. Hopefully today gets better instead of worse.
