I updated my page "Life as a College Student" with some information about my grandmother.  Please read it! She means a lot to me :)

Update

So ... I haven't updated for quite a while ... I apologize.

Just to let you know, I am alive.

School has started again and this is the hardest and busiest semester ever.

The end.

A Wee Sort Of Post

You ever been so busy that you forgot to do things?  Or so busy that you wish you didn't have to take time to eat?  Or so busy that you can't wait for the vacation that's not coming?

Yeah, me neither ...

but if I was that busy, I would definitely forget important things like my blog ... laundry ... getting shifts covered ... having a social life ...

So, I should probably get back to not being busy ...

But what would a blog post be without a picture and a quote?!  So here they are:

"Everything in this room is eatable.  Even I'm eatable.  But that, my children is called cannibalism and is indeed frowned upon in most societies." (Willy Wonka; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

Except the society of crocs ...

Out With the Old, and In With the New

Good morning Starshine!  The Earth says hello!!

Exciting news time!!  I have officially been released as the Ward Music Chairman (er, ... Chairwoman ...) and I am sad to see it go!!  I loved choosing the music every week and getting to know all the talented people in our ward!  But, change always comes, no matter how hard we might wish it were otherwise, and I have been called to serve as the Second Counselor in the Relief Society Presidency!!  I am even more excited for this calling!!  It will give me bajillions more opportunities to serve the girls in my ward and grow closer to the Savior!!  I am so excited!!

BUT!  I am also nervous.  This means I now have the RA job, 15 credits, the student manager job, and a much more involved calling.  I'm going to have a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it- I still have a lot to do from last semester.  So if I seem to be going crazy, it's because I am.  If I seem too busy to blog, it's because I am.  If I start speaking in French, it's because I'm attempting to learn it this semester and it's my hardest class.  

But, I digress... more exciting news:

• I've lost fifteen pounds this month!!
• I scored big at DI!! (New skirt and jeans in GREAT condition)
• I officially change my major from ECE to Business!!
• We now have a Preach My Gospel class during Sunday School and it's FANTASTIC!!!
• We had an apartment dinner yesterday and I invited a guy over!! (and it wasn't awkward!)
• I got a late Christmas card which made my day!! (Thanks, CLE!!)

and . . . 

• I get to wear jeans to work this week ;]

That's life!  And I'm lovin' it!

Here I sit in the library

Wow, I haven't blogged in over a week . . . I apologize, dear friends (all 7 of you).

Here I sit in the library, awaiting my classmate so that we may do homework.

Here I sit in the library, wondering what I should blog about.

Here I sit in the library . . .

French is going to whip me into some kind of crazy studying machine this semester.  We have our first test over the first two chapters next Friday (yeah, next Friday as in the Friday after this one, as in the third week of the semester).  Lucky for me, there is LOTS of online help and Gail.

All aspects of work are becoming crazier and crazier.  I have almost no wiggle room in my Cougareat schedule and I suddenly have about fifty bajillion things I need to get done for my store.  I still have certifications from last semester to finish (I know, I'm a horrible person.  Sue me.  In my defense, I'm almost done.  My goal is to be done with the 22 I have left in one month).  The powers that be in charge of apartment complex have decided that we are no longer going to have the lounge open after office hours except for reservations (know how often those happen?  Maybe twice a month . . . ).  I now have to do cleaning checks every month for half of the girls in my complex.

Major business . . . I'm thinking business.  Specifically, entrepreneurship.  With a minor in accounting.  Thoughts?  Feedback?  Comments?

And a little happiness for your soul :]
