Yeah, I'm Excited; So what?

Usually I am the person who is good at keeping her hopes in check. Not ridiculously raising hopes= no ridiculous disappointments. Now before you thing wow, she's pessimistic. Just remember that if you are reading this you probably know me a little better than to say that. Because I am not like that. I am hopeful, just not overly and definitely not when it comes to certain areas in life. There are other things to worry about. Whatever that doesn't really make sense.

Anyway this week the impossible has happened. No, I am not engaged. ahaha. I am so funny. But I have raised my hopes to a ridiculously high level about my life in general. And even though I am enjoying this high quite a bit, I know there is a low just around the corner. There always is isn't there? The higher you fly, the longer the and harder you fall. It's simple physics. But I am just excited about this week despite the hundred million things I have to do. I am excited not to go to bed until really late; to go to From the Heart, to have a dress rehearsal with the girls, to dance tomorrow, to go to the cancer benefit, to perform on friday, to dress up for class on friday (it's 80's day), to host my halloween dance party on saturday, to go to church and to do indexing, to hear the fireside and have From the Heart again. I am just excited. Forget that I have tests and quizzes galore and a million things to think about. I am excited that I will be seeing one of my favorite people on Monday, that it is almost Thanksgiving which means that it is almost Christmas =) I am excited to buy my contract for next semester at American Manor.I am excited for dace major auditions on Saturday too...which is weird because I should be freakingn out. LIFE IS EXCITING! Hopes, fly high, you have my permission.
Oh and I am listening to Celine right now...and makes everything better than it already is.

Um…Ok Life. You Win.

So, this week and sort of these past few days just proved to me once again that once you think you have everything figured out, or at least everything is good and under control the world decided to have a big laugh in your honor and throw everything that you thought was under control, out of control. No joke. Not that it was bad things that happened, quite the opposite- it is just going to take a lot to maintain control the rest of the semester/next semester. Awesome. Life is out of control. So maybe I should just get with the flow and let it be and stop trying to put it all back in order cause let’s face it, there is always something a little out of place.

My brain hurts. It won’t stop thinking about everything that I have to do. Silly brain.

Wish me luck…seriously though.

Was That a Good Idea? At Least it Was Fun.

Well, tonight was fun. My good friend Abbie and I got it into our heads last week that we wanted to go see a scary movie, because I for one, have always enjoyed the occasional scary movie. I get it from my mom.

My mom loves scary movies. Not stupid, paranormal, never gonna happen, when is this movie over, and what is the point of it kind of movies. Not horror movies, or super-sick-slashers, but thriller, the jump out at you, freak you out, you can see happening (maybe) kind. So, when I was younger, and by younger, I mean I really wasn’t that young, but younger than I am now, I would always watch scary movies with my mom. Old ones, new ones, it was a good time. I kind of start to crave them after a while. Just call me an adrenaline junkie…without all the extreme crap. Anyway, my sisters can’t really tough it out. No offense girls but you really can’t. But they already know that.

What does this have to do with anything? Not much. Basically it is why I thought it would be a great idea to go to this movie tonight called The Stepfather. Luckily for Abbie and myself, it is a Tuesday night in Rexburg Idaho so there were only two other people in the theater. Basically it was pretty scary and freaky and Abbie and I cuddled and held hands during all the scary parts though so I got through it.

Anyway I am now putting off sleep and watching the Disney channel. Awesome. Oh, well. At least it was fun and Abbie and I got make fools out of ourselves. That always makes for a good time.

No, I Will Not Be a Member of Your Stupid Group

BYU-I looooooves group work. Good for you. That is totally fine to let us teach one another and prepare us for the “real world” where supposedly we will have to work with people that we don’t like.  But…wait, in real life you get to make sure the people you work with are qualified; you get to fire people in real life. Well, Group 10, I FIRE YOU! …BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED.

I hate group work. Very, very rarely do you get a group in which everyone in your group is committed and sane. Unfortunately for my group this semester, this does not seem to be the case. Great.

I am not going to babysit you Group 10. That is not my job. I am only group leader for this week. Next week it will be one of you peons…and if I didn’t care about my grade (like you) I would not do my part and make it as difficult as possible for you (like you did for me) but maybe I wouldn’t because I have been there and it sucks to be in that position.

The instructions were simple.  Our instructor and myself made them very clear and easy to follow. If you had questions, well, you didn’t ask. I even sent out reminders. How did you graduate high school?

Be a little more self reliant. Not only for my sake or the sake of Group 10, but for your own. Do you want to seem/be pathetic for the rest of your existence?

 

I am sorry that my remarks are harsh but, I don’t like Group 10.

Opportunity Knocks….but Sometimes Not Very Loudly.

I have had a good week. No, a GREAT week. I have been so completely astonished by how well everything in my life is going this semester. Everything that I have wanted to do, everything that I have really wanted for myself has so far worked out…well minus about one thing, but I am in no hurry. And the fact that I am no longer tan…Whatever. Even my problems aren’t that hard for me to cope with…at least at the moment, I am sure I will have a five minute pity party sometime next week, but then I will be ready to move on and see just how great my life is and has been.

I have been given so many opportunities by coming to BYU-I. I know I wouldn’t have had these chances if I had gone somewhere else. But a big part of me knows that you have to take advantage of these opportunities now, before they are gone because they won’t be around waiting for you.

I don’t know where this “seize the day” attitude came from, but I am glad that it is here. Maybe it is because I got my first massage today and it was heaven. Maybe it is because I just ate  a delicious peach. Maybe it is because I just watched the Relief Society conference. But maybe, just maybe it is because I am listening to the Free Willy theme song. Sing it Michael.

Whatever it is. Please bless that it will stay.
