2.5lbsOfGoldfish

I'm sitting on campus right now in the TSC. If you ever want to, or need to, this is the place to People watch. I am afraid I'm going to make it a habit. My schedule is almost terrible. Only the timing that is. After my two classes every morning, 9:30-11:20, I have an hour to kill. When it takes 20 to walk to your apartment, lunch isn't even a good incentive to go home. There is no point in walking home, sitting for 20 minutes, and then walking back to class. Therefore, I will sit here, people watch and eat my goldfish. 


Some things I have learned already. 
It is so hard to meet new people, really, it is. 
Don't be late to Yoga, you will get the evil eye. 
Talk in English, he likes discussing things. 
Don't text, talk, breath, eat, laugh, sneeze or cough in Human Physiology, you will miss something important. 
You might get the same math teacher for 1010, the same one you had Spring semester when you failed it. 
Psychology may or may not be one of your absolute favorite classes. 
Paper towels Can indeed give you a paper cut, and it will sting. 
Sometimes you can't verbally explain your feelings.
However, some friends already know. 


Well, peace out girl scout. Gotta run to Yoga, and find my inner chi. Be back later.

Immensely happy.


"Aim high, but do not aim so high that you totally miss the target. What really matters is that he will love you, that he will respect you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you, that he will give you the freedom of expression and let you fly in the development of your own talents. He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, if he knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full of faith, the chances are you will not go wrong, that you will be immensely happy."

Yellow Highlighter.

Let's talk about today. Or rather some highlights...
-Walking in when Lauren said, "Pink Ladies are SOO juicy!" I didn't know that "Pink Ladies" were apples. I laughed for about five minutes.
-Going to the bank and refueling the account.
-Seen Jenjen again.
-Ordering 105 pictures to cover my wall with.
-Making Macaroni and Cheese.
-Walking over to the field to lay on a blanket and star gaze.
-Lauren saying, "I was willing to lay on a lump for you!"
(it was in the grass. However, it's a funny thing to say.)
-Listening to songs from Tangled.

Tomorrow we get to pick up pictures, and Kenz moves back. Exciting.

And You Know I've Tried.

When you listen to a song on repeat for an hour or two, you know it's a keeper.
And maybe it's that song that will help you feel a little bit stronger.
Sometimes it's okay to feel alone, so you know what it's like to be loved.
There must be opposition in all things.
Try to read as many books as you watch movies.
Getting a little sun here and there is good, it keeps you happy.
Often the only thing I want to do is talk to a friend, an old friend who know's me well.
Tell them what's bothering me, nagging at my heart, crowding my head.
Instead I write to my valiant missionary friends.
They like letters, and hey, so do I.
Life goes on.

Cherish your mother.

I'm back in good old Logan. I'm glad.
I unpacked all of my things. Met up with old friends.
Ran to Home Depot to get cinder blocks to raise our beds.
Unpacked all of my kitchen things.
It didn't hit me until we went grocery shopping.
I felt alone, even when I was surrounded.
I felt helpless, when I wasn't.
I felt vulnerable, with no reason to be.

I miss you mom.
Things are changing.
I'm growing up.

Change is on its way.


Tomorrow I will be residing in Logan. I am So excited for the small living space, living with five other girls, having to stock my cupboard, and fridge space with food. I'm thrilled to be going to school again, reading textbooks till the wee hours of the morning, doing math assignments every day, writing prompts. However, I am especially excited for Letters from loved ones miles and miles away, the way the mountains look when seasons are changing, walking into my room after a long day to see my absolutely wonderful roommate there. Yep, I'm ready.
