Random Ramblings

There's been so much on my mind lately and as I mentioned in the last post, I've been meaning to get it all down and just haven't had the time/ resources/ time/ time/ time.  Yesterday I was on campus from 8:00am until 11:15pm except for about an hour.  Sick.  The crazy thing is that it's not even that big of a deal.  I don't even think about it some days.  I just go and go and go and go.  Yesterday I had class, work, homework, a work meeting, lab, homework, a forum, more homework and then a workout...that was a lot of "work" words....  Thankfully, I really enjoy all my classes this semester!  So even though there is a lot of work, it's enjoyable and I fell like I'm actually learning something useful, not just doing busywork (there's that work word again!)

So here's a few things I've been thinking about during the last month:

***Internship*** I need one.  Like really.  You have to do an internship in order to graduate.  I can't decide if I want to do mine in January while taking online classes, have a full schedule spring semester and then just be done with school in July OR spread out my last few classes more evenly over two semesters, take a fun class or two and then do my internship in the fall.  Both are good options, which is better?

***Mission***  Well, everyone is doing it, right?!  I had the opportunity to actually be in the session of conference that President Monson made his big announcement.  The old lady sitting in front of us gasped so loud, I may have chuckled to myself.  So many people have asked me "Sooooooo....are you going to go now?!"  I hate to break it to you all, but I turned 21 in August so this new information doesn't quite apply to me.  Had I been 19 when they announced it, I would have gone in a heartbeat.  But now is now and it's not two years ago.  And now I'm not sure if it's what I'm supposed to do right now.

***Whitney and Alexis***  Oh I miss you both so much!!!!!  I can't even describe how many days I've just sat wishing I had you both back living with me for another semester.  But, alas, I know you've moved on to the real world and someday I'll be there too :)

***Work***  Work again, really?!  Still loving my job!  But I might have the opportunity to work somewhere else in the winter if I decide to stay in Rexburg.  Why would I ever leave Admissions?  Well, it's a job much more applicable to my major and would be great experience to put on a resume.  Sadly, I just don't know if I can part with Admissions.  I was planning on being there until the end of time...at least my time in Rexburg.

***Boys***  WHERE ARE YOU?

***Exercise*** (I almost put working out and then decided against it)  Why is exercise so addicting?  It just makes you feel SO GOOD.  Last week I ran a mile in 7:40.  Two days ago I ran four miles (not at a 7:40 pace haha) and tonight I am going to do a midnight 5k with a friend.  I just want to go to the gym everyday and some days it is way too hard to find the time.

***Time Management***  Sometimes I'm really good at this.  Other times, like right now, I'm not.  I don't work until 11:00 today so I should have been at the library all morning studying for my two tests this weekend and completing some pretty major assignments/ projects.  Instead, I did my hair, sent some emails and now I'm blogging.

***Christmas Music***  I will admit, when we woke up to five inches of snow yesterday, I put on the Elf Soundtrack to get ready to.  It felt good.  And I'm usually such a stickler on no Christmas anything until after Thanksgiving.....

***My life is so great***  Even though I complain and sometimes it sounds like I'm totally helpless and lost, I'm really not doing too bad.  I'm on track to graduate with a Bachelor's degree before I'm 22.  I have the world at my fingertips.  I went to Peru and made it back alive.  I have great friends, even though some are hundreds of miles away.  It's going to be okay.  And I promise to start blogging again.

Time Flies...

Argggggg.  The past month and a half have been overwhelming.  There's been so much I've wanted to blog about that I just haven't done any of it.  It's too big of a task.  Too much has happened.  Here's a quick rundown of my life this semester...

- Laptop charger broke so I now live on library computers...part of the reason I don't blog is I feel guilty blogging while in the library...
- Got the second highest score on my kinesiology exam last week!!
- Went to General Conference
- Sewed a pillowcase and pair of pajama pants
- Stayed at the library way too late, way too many nights
- Ate too much chocolate
- Ran in the Temple to Temple Relay
- Had a Peruvian dinner
- I go Spanish Stadium Singing every Sunday now...it's good for my soul
- Went on a blind date
- Make peanut butter banana bread
- Still working in Admissions as a Coordinator and loving it
- It's starting to get cold out....
- Mailed in my absentee ballot for Mr. Mitt!
- Lost my ipod and had it found outside in the grass by the apartment maintenence man...what a blessing
- Watched the presidential debates
- Homework (have I mentioned that yet??)
- Working out not quite as often as I wish
- Slept on the couch because I didn't want to put my laundry away that was covering my bed
- Touched a one-day-old placenta in my women's health class

Sorry I couldn't make up my mind which tense the list should be in.  It's late and I really don't have time to even be typing up this lame list.... maybe in the future I'll actually get around to posting pictures from these events...maybe
