What a long day it's been. It's a very rare occasion that I stay home sick from school and lay on the couch for hours, but that's exactly what I did today. Tonight has been a little better though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow I'll be cured. :)

I can't believe it's almost Thursday. Where in the world did Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday go? Not that I'm complaining... I'm just that much closer to the weekend. Speaking of the weekend, this should be a good one! Tomorrow I've got a Nutrition study group with Kristalyn starting at 4, then at 7, she and Jaden (another Nutrition buddy) and I are going to get sushi and study some more. Not that I'm any kind of sushi fan, but I think it will be fun! On Friday, I'm getting together with several people from last year's Chamber Singers, because we haven't seen each other since graduation. Not quite sure what we'll do, but I love catching up with friends that I haven't talked to in a while. It's always so fun to see what everyone ends up doing and where life's craziness takes them.

I should really be writing two papers and studying for a test and quiz. Yaaay college. But hey, almost one year down. It's so crazy... this has felt like the longest year of my life, BY FAR. But at the same time, I can't believe the school year's almost over! I'm ready to move on past the phase of life where every RM says "Oh, you're a freshman? Hm..." and then you never hear from them again. I really can't wait to meet new people in my ward at the Elms! I feel like I have some great friends and some great experiences just around the corner.

I'm going to be a good student now and start studying. I won't wait two more weeks to write, promise. At least I don't think I will. Have a great night!

:) Happy me.

I got a job I got a job I got a job!! I'm so excited. Come April, I will be a secretary for the BYU Neuroscience Office. I love being a secretary! What do you know... prayer works. :)

Tonight we had a Women's Chorus concert at Maple Mountain. I really miss seeing my great friends and teachers! Going back there is always a little bit bittersweet, because I absolutely loved my senior year and almost wish I could've spent more time there. HOWEVER, at the same time, it's fun to revisit those memories and know that I've moved on to bigger and better things.

I've decided that I really want to get into a leadership position at BYU. Mom says that I need to make a huge poster titled "I've decided..." and add to it every day because I say those words so often! I just have so many things I want to do, and sometimes I get frustrated that I can't do it all! I want to learn piano and guitar, be on student council, improve my dance skills, go to London for Study Abroad, be in another musical, do so much more with my voice than I'm doing... the list goes on and on and on. One thing at a time, right? Ah, sometimes I hate time.

Last night I went to the BYU game with two of my future roommates. Well, we attempted, but apparently paying $200+ for an all-sports pass does nothing, because we didn't get in. No, I'm not bitter. But we ended up getting frozen yogurt and hanging out with Jake and Joe, a couple of their UVU friends. We made it a fun night. :) Kristalyn and Korinne (the future roomies) are the greatest. I really am so excited to live in the Elms with them! They're the sweetest girls, and they love to party. Hooray!

Everything really is falling into place right now, and I couldn't be happier. I'm still taking dance, but I've decided that Young Ambassadors probably isn't for me. Yes, it would be an amazing experience, no doubt. However, I don't think I fit the persona that is required; they all seem to be very dramatic and very loud, and I don't really want to surround myself with that nor be like that. Not to mention that I'd live with the girls and I'd have practice 20+ hours per week. Don't get me wrong, I think they are amazing people! It's me, not them. :) But I really want to keep trekking down this singing route I'm on. I think that if I do more with singing alone, rather than dance and acting, I could really improve to where I want to be. Sorry, I'm thinking out loud again.

Oh boy, I'm exhausted and have yet to start my homework. I gotta get on that. Have a great one!
