Some Favorites of 2009

Moving out and experiencing this wonderful place with these wonderful people.  (Sorry, I don't have a better picture of campus.)

My recent infatuation with this color.  Who'da thought?

Audrey Hepburn (never knew how amazing she was until that school project.)

 

This band's new album.

A whole slew of new favorite movies like...

and many more...

Reading and writing for pleasure.  I would have never known how much I missed it if I wasn't forced to read mundane things and have no time for writing.

Being with my family for two whole weeks!  I missed them so much; never thought that would happen!  Also, I'm especially grateful for my overly generous parents that went beyond what was AGREED upon to get me for Christmas.  But thanks anyway :)

Next on the menu - New Year's Goals.  Well, some of them anyway.  A few are going to be personal - I can't share EVERYTHING on this blog!

Keep It Simple Stupid

For a while, I thought I was fading away.
The only discernable color around me was gray.
My demeanor was sad and rather miserable.
It became an utterly pointless cycle.
Suddenly, I see you – an explosion in Technicolor.
I was smiling again – no matter my emotional weather.
You made the difference, you helped me see,
I don’t need to watch the world pass by me.
You’re gone now, but whenever I think I can’t make it through,
I think of how beautiful I am, and it’s all thanks to you.

 
 
Can I once again say - It feels so good to be back! 
 
So lately to catch you up on things...
 
I've been in love this song lately.  Not to mention the guy.  No need to tell me... I know I'm a hopeless romantic, but I don't really care.
 
You can already see, I've been writing again.  I know it's a little cheesy now, but I need to get it out of my system before I start back on the good stuff.
 
I plan on reading as much as possible during my break - any books you've read lately that you would recommend?
 
I'm still one of the night managers at Robert's as most of you know.  I thought I was going to have to quit when the other manager told me she wouldn't be able to change her current schedule in the foreseeable future.  I REALLY needed to take a class that is only offered on Wednesdays for my major.  And she told me she still needed Wednesdays off.  I thought I was a goner.   Luckily, thanks to some complications she didn't expect, she is going to be able to change her schedule, so she will now work Wednesdays!  Isn't it awesome how things just work out sometimes?
 
So I have a little confession - I haven't cried since the day I moved out - August 26. Yeah, long time. But today I got up in Relief Society to bear my testimony, and I started bawling. It was actually kind of embarrassing. I've had stuff bottled up, and it all came pouring out the second I started talking. Then on top of that, I've been crying at every little thing today. I'll usually just tear up, but today? Full on waterfall. Oh well, my excuse is that I'm emotionally healthy girl. Yeah, that's what I'm going to go with.



My classes next semester, half are for my English major - Thank goodness!  Those generals kill me!
 
I've been dying to see a few people I haven't seen in weeks, but I haven't been able to yet!  Hopefully soon...
 
I'm such a nerd.  I want to see Avatar really badly.
 
Speaking of nerd, thanks to me, my roommate is now hooked on The Big Bang Theory.  Haha, she is now a Sheldon Lover for life!
 
I'm glad the semester is over with, but I'm really going to miss my Sociology class.  I learned so much in that class, and the Professor was AMAZING.  In fact, if English doesn't work out, I'm thinking I might major in Sociology.
 
My new website that I love spending time on MLIA.  So funny :)
 
I still need to buy Christmas presents for everyone.  I think tomorrow is the only day I can go too.  Hmmm... :-/

I'm Baaaaack!

And other than work, I'm free for two whole weeks!  I'm so excited, you have no idea.  Hooray for school breaks!!  And.... NO HOMEWORK!

So, finals sucked.  I failed two, barely passed one, and did ok on the last two.  My grades will be horrible - I blame the fact that I had NO English classes.  That's my strength - that's what I should be doing.  So hopefully with my THREE English classes, I will do ten times better this next semester. 

Work is fine.  As good as can be expected.  Holidays in retail are horrible, but hey, at least I have a job.  It's helping me pay my rent, cell phone bill, and tuition - it's good enough for now.


That's pretty much all that's going on in my life.  Work and school.  BOOOORRRRINGG!  No, it's not boring, it's awesome.  It just keeps me busy, and there's not much to tell.

Well, I've been writing a little bit, so hopefully I'll be able to post some things soon.  Have a wonderful Saturday!

Random night that made me think of this.

I might hate school at this moment because of all the studying, tests, etc.


But let me get one thing straight.









I.  Love.  College!!

:D

Has it really been that long?  Sorry about that!!!  It's been a crazy couple of weeks.  Black Friday.  My emotional rollercoaster.  Awesome date :)  That pretty much sums it up; I'm really boring.  Well, I'm starting to get into my "Finals Prep" phase, so I will probably be under the radar until all of them are over.  Just FYI, I know you all were DYING to know!

Have a wonderful weekend!
