School!

 I can't wait for school to start!!! 
I'm really excited to start a new semester. I've always liked the feeling of being able to start over fresh, but this time is even better. I got three A's and two A-'s this last semester and it has left me feeling like I really can do anything. I've become a better student, and I understand better how important it really is to put lots of time into all of my classes in order to get good grades in them. I've also realized that in truth, time is the important thing. It's never that I'm not smart enough or not cut out for such and such, it's that I have to be willing to put in the time and effort to really excel. I can do things that are hard or that I'm not good at. I just have to be willing to work. And once I put in the time and effort and work I often realize that it's really not that hard. My father once accused me of being a hypochondriac. Although I resented that accusation I have come to realize that I do that with lots of things. I make mountains out of mole hills and oceans out of puddles. College is slowly teaching me to take things as they come and as they really are. I just keep telling myself, "I will survive. Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive. I've got all my life to live. I've got all my love to give. I will survive. I will survive. Hey hey."
Here's to you bad grades.

Just imagine me dodging the disco ball at the end and sticking my tongue out at it.

Birthday!

By
So, my birthday was yesterday, and it was quite possibly the best birthday ever , and definitely the BEST day of this semester!  It actually started the night before (the night of the 17th) when Janette came to dinner. We made pizza, Isaac brought cinnamon rolls, and we had several people over. I was already happy being able to party with Janette one last time before she went into the MTC . Then after dinner, my roommates surprised me with birthday cake and ice cream. Everyone sang happy birthday, and I was glad I got to celebrate with Janette. Then on the morning of the 18th (my BIRTHDAY ) I woke up and left my room, and this is what I found: streamers hanging from the connecting door, balloons all over the living room, streamers on the ceiling, a monkey hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen, and 20 sticky notes that said 20 different things my roommates love about me. : ) I have the BEST   roommates ever! Sandra also had a few dollar store presents for me, and the best o...

Going Public

By
So I was thinking today about how I love to keep up with my friends and family through their blogs. I'm pretty busy with school, so I really don't have time to call everyone who is important to me and talk about their lives. Instead I read their blogs. I write my blog for much the same reason, so that people who care about me can read about my life on their own time. Ever since I started my blog I've had it privatized so that only people who I invite can read my blog. However, as I have made more friends, I've had multiple people be surprised that I have a blog at all, and some have asked to read it. I've always been hesitant to let people read my blog because I don't want to inadvertently offend someone or accidentally share something I'd rather keep private with the whole world. I realized today that that is really silly considering the purpose of my blog, and so I've decided to publicize my blog. I realize that I write about other people on my blog, a...

Hi There

By
So Caitlin's blog has gotten me thinking. I'm not as creative of a writer, and I'm definitely not a paint artist, but I am away at college and not in as direct contact with my family and friends. I would like to be able to share my life and ideas with those that I love. I can't promise to post every day, or even every week, but I will try. I hope you all enjoy.
