Oh Life...

So, I've pretty much been stressed for the past two weeks, and I'm still stressed! I feel like I have so much to do with school, that I don't know where to begin, or I can't do it. Although, I'm hoping by Wednesday I'll have most of my homework done so I won't have to do much over spring break. I'll have a photo assignment to do, but it won't be that bad.

The main thing causing me stress is this Social Psychology project I'm trying to accomplish. I'm writing and presenting my paper on an episode of Big Love, and it's been quite the hassle trying to find a disc to bring into my class to show a clip. I ordered the first season on amazon.com, but it hasn't arrived yet and my project is due on Tuesday. So now I have to rent a disc from the first season, which will work, but I'm just frustrated that I didn't think of it sooner, and now I spent money on the first season and I probably didn't even need to. Bah... oh well, it might be a good season so I'll use my moneys worth and watch it.

Anyway, tomorrow should be quite the day. I have to finish my project, and then I'm going to watch the Oscars. It should be a good end to a stressful day.

It's already February?!?

Wow, time sure does fly. It's mostly a good thing, though. :)

I love life! I love how many hardships are in life and the challenges they bring. I'm mostly talking about school this semester. It's going to get really challenging, and it already is, but I can do it! I am starting to love photography, and I have a feeling it will be a hobby of mine for a LONG time. Whenever I get rich (or some kind of sufficient income), I'd like to invest in an expensive camera. We'll see how that goes. I'm optimistic about it, though! I really want one and it'd be super awesome.

I also love Racquetball. It's so fun and I'm getting better at it! I'm going to ask for a racquet for my birthday, so hopefully I'll get one. If not, that will be something else I'll try to purchase. Yay!

What else is going on in my life...well...I'm still with Brandon and enjoying every minute of it. :) This coming weekend is Valentine's Day weekend, and Brandon and I have some fun plans. :) Dinner and movie! I'm so excited! He's taking me to one of my favorite restaurants: Market Street Grill. Sooooo stoked! Then we're going to go see Dear John! Ahhh! I'll probably cry, but that's ok. I'm super excited to see that movie. I'll probably want to read the book after, too.

Well, I can't think of anything else to write, so peace out. =)

A new year, a new perspective

It's 2010. I can't believe how much has changed this past year. I'm anxious to start a new year and be happy in everything I do. Despite the challenges I will face, it will be okay. I've changed in so many ways over the past few months. My perspectives are changing because of the experiences I'm currently experiencing. It's kind of crazy how that happens. I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything. I have a serious boyfriend, and we're planning our future together. I never thought I'd be doing that at the age of 19. Ah...so weird. But in a way, I like it. I still have my goals and aspirations in life, but I have someone with me to stand by my side and help me achieve these goals. It's quite fantastic. I like this feeling and I could definitely get used to it.

Anyway...spring semester starts next week. It's been a good break, and I'll be having more adventures this week. :) But after this week, let the stress begin. 16 credit hours plus I'll be working a couple shifts a week. Luckily it won't be a lot, but I still need to have some kind of income. I think this semester will be fun though because I have a couple psychology classes plus some really interesting classes like Natural Disasters, Photography, and Social Problems. After this semester, I'm done at SLCC! My plan is after I graduate to get a full-time job during the summer and fall, and then make my way to the U during spring 2011. So, we'll see how that pans out. I'm really anxious and excited to start my life up at the U. I hope to get into their Psychology school and possibly get a minor revolving around fashion. We'll see how this works out. I also want a new (used) car before I head up to the U, and I know exactly what I want. So, we'll see how that works out as well.

I have so many goals. I don't know if this is a good thing, or a bad thing. But I'm wanting it to lean towards a good thing. With goals, I feel like I have a purpose in life and something to strive for. I like it. Therefore, goals are a fantastic thing in my eyes.

There's my current status for the month. :)

Stressed much?

I sure am. With the end of semester nearing closer and closer everyday, it means that I need to study for a couple tests, and write about a gazillion papers. Well, not really that much, more like four, but still. You get my point. :) Luckily, my giant term project is almost complete. Hooray! Just one...more...page. And then I can move on to studying for my Abnormal Psych exam, and worrying about whether or not my credits from SLCC will transfer to the U. I'm going to meet with an academic advisor tomorrow, so hopefully that will bring about some good news. But I am quite worried. What if the classes I've already taken don't transfer? Then what? I'd be very upset but I'll try not to think about that. Also, I need to turn in my graduation application because I plan on graduating in the spring. If everything turns out well, which I'm hoping it does. Therefore, I can't mail the application until I know for sure that the classes I've registered for in the spring will allow me to get a transferable degree and my degree and transcript will make it's way up to the U. I don't think I'll be registering for classes in Fall '10 because I'm going to work full time and earn money to actually go to the U. And get my new (used) car. Chevy Cobalt. Yep, that's what kind of car I want. So, we'll see how my plan works out. I think taking a semester off from school will be nice. I just don't know if I'll get a new job, or keep the one I'm currently at. Because I love Vanity...but, I may have to move on with my life. Sigh.

Anyway, enough rambling. I really should be in bed. Farewell.

Fall is in the air!

I love warm fall days. They make me happy. Plus, this time change is awesome.

It's been a while since I've last posted. About a month and a half. I guess October was pretty busy for me, but who knows. This month is actually going to be busier because I have a bunch of papers to write. It ought to be fun. :) No, really it will be fun because they should be pretty easy to write. A few of them need research, and I just have to find that motivation to research them and write them, but they'll all get done. Go team! I'm excited to write my paper on Unitarian Universalism. It should be interesting and I'm looking forward to learning more about that religion.

I'm really happy with how life is going. I'm still with Brandon, and I absolutely love every single minute we spend together. This is the part where you think, or even say, gag. It's ok, I don't mind. :) But yeah, we try to make time for each other because we both have busy schedules, and it seems to work out pretty well. We went to the Ute game on Halloween, and that was an experience. It was really entertaining to see people dressed up in costumes. So funny. There was a guy dressed up as Jesus which I found really bizarre. But good for him I guess! There was also a person dressed up as the mom from Hairspray. I can't remember her name...but I hope you know which one I am talking about. It was really funny.

Anyway, I need to go on spontaneous adventure sometime soon. It's time to do something random. As much as I love routine, it needs to be broken once in a while. It's kind of hard right now though, because of school and how there are only 5 more weeks left in the semester...so it may have to wait until December. Or January. We'll see.

For those of you who haven't heard about my Las Vegas experience, let me enlighten you. I absolutely hate Vegas. I couldn't breathe there because the stench was a mixture of smoke, alcohol, perfume, and air fresheners. It's really not a good combination. It's disgusting. But, the concert was fun! And that is the reason why I went. It's always good to see U2 live. :) So, thanks Brandon for letting me experience Vegas for the first time and taking me to U2. :) :) Oh, I did like our hotel too. We stayed at Treasure Island, and it was really pretty. Our room didn't smell like smoke either because we got a non-smoking room. Yay! So, at least that was good.

Well, I bid you farewell blog. Hopefully I'll write more often, but I won't make any promises. Peace. Love. Happiness.

Lazy Day

I think everyone should have a lazy day once in a while. With the stress of life, it's just good to spend a day relaxing and catching up with the world. And I did that today. Yes, there were times where I was thinking, "Wow, I'm so bored."...but thats ok! :) I even got some stuff done. I studied for a test, went to new websites I don't usually go to, and took my sister to soccer practice for my dad. Yep. Oh, and I went to class and took my fifteen minute test. Yeah, that's how long it was. And it was extremely easy. Hooray! I love psychology.

Anywho, I'm worried about my lizard. He's acting very sluggish and I don't know why. :( I hope he's ok.

My computer is going to die. I shall post at a later time. Peace.

School, School, and SCHOOL!

I love college. :) It's really great to be in an atmosphere where people actually WANT to be there. I'm really happy with how my classes are going so far, which automatically makes it wonderful. I'm extremely fond of my Personal Growth and Development class. I think it's going to be great. I feel so peaceful when I attend that class, and then I'm continually peaceful throughout the day.

On another note, I'm trying to get into shape. A couple nights ago I went running at the Taylorsville track with my sister. I almost ran a whole lap without stopping. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it because I was exhausted and it hurt to breathe. This just tells you how out of shape I am despite how "skinny" I am. Therefore, my current goal is to get into shape. I need to ask my sister to write up a work out guide for me. She's pro at that. I swear she's going to be a personal trainer in the future...

So, I haven't attending the writing group meetings for a while. :( Unfortunately, I always have work on Wednesday evenings so I can never go. It's quite sad. I hope I'll be able to go again...but I guess we'll see what happens.
