OH THE JOY!!!

Oh the joy of a college student during FINALS week. Wake up at 8:30 to go to class, group meetings, and more class. We study for 3 hours, get a 76% on the test they just studied 3 hours for and just walk out of the testing center to study for the next exam which is usually due the next day if not the SAME day. Did I mention that in the midst of all of this there is a modern dance performance you are a part of and a ballroom dance competition going on opposite sides of campus at the same time and you are supposed to be at both? Yea. that happened tonight. April 5th was still good to me despite all of the chaos. It's 5:30 in the morning on April 6th and this is the first chance I had to get all of this out. I haven't slept all night due to the fact I have a final project due today. It took me 3 hours... to plan out the next three years of my life by choosing courses I should take to stay on task and graduate asap. For the next three years I will be taking no less than 16 credit hours a semester and that's not including having to throw in internships, and depending on how I'm feeling, Cheerleading. What a DRAG!

I am however pleased to say I am very comfortable with my decision to be a integrated art major emphasis in Photography with minors in business AND education. To tell you the truth I've been very comfortable with most of my life choices as of late. Conference was so good. I have to say my favorite talk was by Richard G Scott about companionship. ;) it was fabulous and it has helped me a lot in just two days. My second favorite talk was by President Monson about Temples. AMAZING, I was so involved that I didn't even realize twenty minutes had passed before he was done.

On the other hand I am very confident in my decisions to be focused. There is so much to be focused on I just need to find my priorities. I'll tell you the truth, this past semester has been a challenging one and my priorities were no where near where they should be. All jumbled up and crazy but this is where you realize you could do better and FIX IT. Here I am, attempting to fix it. **wish me luck** Well since it is after 5:30 in the morning I figure it's time to cook. My no bakes are chilling and blue berry muffins are about to be made. I'm craving an Orange Julius though and I know I could really use a little OJ in my life right now. Where is Spencer when I don't want to make it though? He has it down to an art but he's thousands of miles away. just living the life with my family... without me :P I still have four months in Rexburg but I cannot wait to get out. I want to be home coaching and working until I can't stand it anymore. I want to go to Italy and shop in downtown K-Town. But alas these wishes must wait. It's only about 109 days... I can survive, I think.

Well now that this "all-nighter" that I have participated in has dwindled to only two I think I should start the muffins before they wake up. I orignally stayed up to keep Alexis company but she's asleep. GO FIGURE. until next time, keep it real. Stay Strong.
