Study break

It's the final countdown.  I've been looking forward to being home in NH for MONTHS....and now that's only 7 days away!  I have to be perfectly honest and say that I'm not nearly as excited as I was, though I'm still excited to go home and goof off for a couple of weeks, with no worries whatsoever, nowhere to be, projects to finish, maybe some walls to paint, family and friends to visit....yeah, that part will definitely be great! :)  Plus it means I'll be one semester and 20.5 credits closer to graduation!

But in the meantime....with the exception of Sunday, every single day of the next week will be absolutely INSANE, especially tomorrow and Thursday, as I try to finish up last projects (5-page scientific paper to write tomorrow, as well as a 65-mineral test to take tomorrow, plus a concert on Thursday night) and get everything in before their deadlines.  Funny thing happened, I had a short assignment due today for one of my classes that I had completely spaced.  FORTUNATELY, I remembered...about 20 minutes before class.  I found a spot to sit down, punched it out on here, and sent it in...with about 43 seconds to spare!

Well, now that I got my chem test out of the way, I need to study for my mineralogy test tomorrow.  And eat real food.  And sleep.  And work at 4am.  So...I should get on that!  I'm going home to eat and take a shower, which'll hopefully wake me up a bit to be able to work more!  Man, this whole working in the middle of the night thing has turned me into such a baby.  If I'm not in bed by like 9 or 9:30, I'm basically useless and can't function anymore!  It's hilarious!

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

The end of an era

So in about an hour and a half, I'll take my last final at BYU until after my mission! Exciting! Bittersweet. This week has had a lot of ups and downs already. It's never easy saying goodbye, but it's harder knowing I won't just come back in September and see everyone again. Today was my last day on the job at Heritage Halls. Thursday will be my last day on the job at BYUB. Tiff and James both leave tomorrow, and Hilary and Courtney both left today. Alex left yesterday, so...after tomorrow I need to find people to play with that I don't normally play with. Oh well. On Sunday, I went over to Courtney's and Hilary's place, and we had a last hurrah before Steph left for home on Monday. She goes to Jerusalem next week! Saturday evening, I went to Salt Lake and met up with Emma Koller there, one of my good friends that I met at EFY when I was 14, and haven't seen her since...4 or 5 years ago! So it was awesome to see her and meet her boyfriend! ...
