My life at a glance!

BYU is a funny place in the fall time. People just go crazy. They are so excited to be back at school with thousands of people and they tend to do crazy things.
Exhibit A: Jump In Large Piles of Leaves (I enjoy this as well)
Exhibit B: Go on 5 Dates in One Weekend (their hometown just did not offer as much as provo does in the lady department)
Exhibit C: Enroll in unnecessary classes and therefore become over stressed and under slept.
Exhibit D: Wear Boots With Skirts and Shorts
Exhibit E: Decide to go Ice Blocking at 2 am

As for me I just go crazy because I get frustrated with how far people will go to get a date or to be noticed and accepted by their peers. School and Work also contribute to my crazy factor. By accepting an on campus job, where I do get taken care of, but unfortunately get paid less, causes a lot of money strains and creative thinking in ways to make my dollar stretch. I have been sick already three times, and I am learning how to play catch up well, which is a skill that I did not know I had. I also am well into my major, which provides many extensive projects and research assignments. The library has become my new home, but provides an opportunity to see friends from past semesters, which I do enjoy. Living with 5 other girls is also a contribution to my craziness. It is really really fun, but I get nothing done in the way of school work at home, and everyday I wash at least one load of dishes. I use to hate it but the situation has grown on me to the point of a positive and healthy crazy aspect of my life. I also feel that I am way too social! I make so many plans for one day and night, that I often find myself jumping from one activity to another. In the world of dating, there is no success, but that is okay. I like to think of it as a game of hide and seek, where the good ones are all really good at the hiding part, and I am terrible at the seeking part. :) Do not forget that the weather is very very cold and snowy, and then all of a sudden will switch to 70 degrees and sunny skies in just a matter of hours, and that you have to walk in it and often get confused as to what to wear or do! The weather is often a contributor to some of my crazy moods and frustrations. I just want to scream at it to make up its mind! :)
Well I hope that your lives are just as crazy and hectic as mine and that you are not forgetting to write it all down.
Life is wonderful and I love it and love you all!

November comes....

November has come!
It has been surprisingly pleasant weather. After snow for two days just a week ago, the sun has been steadily shining with temperatures in the 60's and 70's. There is only 21 more days until one of my favorite holidays. My sister just had a child, which means I am an aunt again. Number 4 is just as exciting as number 1.
This past week has been somewhat enlightening. Its strange sometimes how the most simple principles of life just come pouring out and you realize what is important in this life. I have learned that it does not matter what people think of you or what people want from you. I have to be myself and stop trying to please and impress everyone. People have to accept me for me and not try to change me. And no matter what happens I have to keep trusting people. I am able to see that this is a learning experience. I am getting an education while getting an education.
November has come and there are many exciting events that will occur during this month! I am looking forward to it.
Happy Fall and Thanksgiving!
