Hmmm....

Dear Reader,

Hello.
Today has been a pretty good day. I have to say that it is mostly because I'm attending a fantastic university, my lunch was small but it filled me up, I have clean clothes, I was caught off guard by a young man's captivating blue eyes, and I didn't have to commute on Goose today.

There's really nothing more to be said about my fantastic BYU. I have subsidized tuition. I'm surrounded by people with my same standard. The majority of the population is people and not sheep:) Every class I'm taking is helping strengthen my testimony. I'm getting an education that will help me in all aspects of life. It's just great.

I ate Blueberry Frosted Mini-Wheats for breakfast. VERY filling:) I only had time to chop up a cucumber and make a PB&J for lunch but I was so busy rushing from class to class that I didn't eat it until three o'clock. So I wasn't hungry at all. & I hate being hungry in the afternoon.

For the past couple of days I've been making mental notes to do laundry but never got around to it. Pardon me for saying this next statement but if I try to beat around the bush, it is just more awkward. Yesterday morning I realized had officially worn all my clean bras. Problem. I really only had one dance class so I put on a dirty one. Gross. But I lived. Anyway. I made it a priority to go home at 3:00 and get the laundry clean. But my peer mentor convinced me that I had to go to a workshop at 4:30.

After that was over, it was 5:15ish and it was smarter to ride the bus to work. It generally takes me like 30-40 minutes to do my job, but today was very different. I had a very frustrating key incident (refer to previous post). And then my dad offered to take me to the hospital cafeteria and grab food. Not having had dinner, I could not refuse. Especially because it was going to be free. Basically my plan of getting home at 4:00 turned into me getting home at 8:30.
I then started my laundry at 9:00 and didn't finish until 2a.m. I could've just saved a couple of batches for today but I had to prove to my grandma I could finish it that night.

Today in Book of Mormon, I was sitting kitty corner to a boy I talked to last class. I don't know why but I kinda just kept looking at him... When he was passed the role from behind he turned to grab it and well I was looking at him at the time. We made eye contact, and oh my goodness. That young man's eyes are so blue! I said before that I only had one crush in Book of Mormon. Well now I have two.
Anyway. After he looked away, I realized that it seemed as if I was just sitting and staring. I kind of was but the person being stared at isn't supposed to realize. Whoops.

I don't remember if I have said this but I live too far from campus to walk. 3.9 miles to be exact. So I have a bicycle. When I first started riding it I would put the brakes on and it would honk. So I named it Goose. Well my sister has a scooter named Eugene. He has been in the shop for almost a month but she went and picked him up this past weekend. Now I just get a ride with her.

I have to explain my good mood. My contemporary teacher is the best. She sometimes gives us little lectures. Well this week she talked to us about how we need to see life from an eternal/different perspective. I've been working on it.

Life has so many stresses just waiting for us. So many things that just come at us all at once but we need to think, 'Is it really that big of a deal?'

I have learned. As long as you are trying your best in life and you are striving to live the gospel as best as you can, God is proud. And that's all that really matters.
