School School School

Well school has been rather crazy! Work has not been too bad this past week, though probably because I left early one day, and had to take off two others. But that was good or else I would be going crazy over school! I cannot wait for my break next month! I really need it. You have no idea. I honestly need a break from everything.

As far as nondepressing things, I am currently watching the Republican Presidential Candidate Debate. It is super interesting! I LOVE Herman Cain! Goodness he is so great! I also really like Mitt Romney. The others are..okay, I like some of their stuff, but not Cain and Romney. As far as books go, I should finish The 5 Love Languages tomorrow. That's pretty exciting; it has been a really good read. I really need to restart on The Screwtape Letters, but I must put that off a little longer. My BOM reading is going well (: I believe I'm on page 164? Something like that. Well I think it is time for me to sign out, I leave you with a video that fits my mood.

Rain Rain Rain

So, much has happened in the past week since my last post. Most importantly is that I have purchased plane tickets to visit my boyfriend next month! Yes I am very excited indeed, those 1800 miles don't seem soooooo terrible now. (: Hmmm next, though not necessarily next in importance is that I have been rather redneck lately, I'm not sure why, but I don't think I am going to complain about it. I still have all my teeth so no worries. But in the past week I have shot guns off my back deck TWICE. Yes, moments ago I shot an AR15 off my back deck (we have lots of woods and such so no one was hurt).  It was rather exuberating. As far as my books go that I mentioned last week, I have currently put A Discovery of Witches and One Grave at a Time on hold, to focus on the others. Also I have started another book, but I only read it at work. It is Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages. I know, I know don't judge me, it is very interesting. He really has a talent for reading people, and I am sure he has save many relationships with his advice. Also I like his writing style…but enough excuses for now. As for my BoM (shorthand for Book of Mormon), I am on page 86. Yes I realize that is not very far, but you know how it is with scripture reading, one page is like five! Okay, so no more excuses there either. **Note of randomness, The Kooks radios station on Pandora is fabulous!**

So school is…hectic! I am making a podcast and vodcast for one class; I have 25 hours of observation, a quiz, and class presentation (with accompanying 2-3 page paper) for another class; a whole bunch of stuff I do not really even understand for another class; and Spanish and French are…well Spanish and French. I did not do as well on the first exam for either class as I would have liked to (especially French), but I have plenty of time to make up for it (less than three months I just realized!!). Oh that was a day brightener. Well seeing how I have come back around to a happy note, I think I will end this post. Au revior!

Sick Sick Sick

Well day one of my blog. I was contemplating on the title when my brother walked in the house with a disgusted look on his face. When I enquired to why he was not at scouts he informed me that he was sick. Then I realized there is a lot of sickness going on right now. My brother is sick. I was sick two nights ago. I’m “love sick” for my boyfriend who is 1871 miles away (1 day and 7 hours’ worth of driving according to google maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Locust+Fork,+AL&daddr=Rexburg,+ID&hl=en&sll=37.160317,-95.712891&sspn=29.883596,75.9375&geocode=FY9jBQIdHFvW-im_teC94aKJiDFeF-StoYSbMA%3BFdCvnAIdwkpW-SmxmHqASwpUUzFzHBjS0dhJSg&vpsrc=0&mra=ls&z=5 ). And we are all slightly sick of the rain. So here I am. Sick Sick Sick. Today is officially day 8 since I have seen my boyfriend, I feel like I should revert to the countdowns we used in junior high to make our myspaces look even more awesome. But I may be able to hold off on that for a while longer. Anyway, to keep my mind off of that I am currently ready a number of books: A Discovery of Witches (again), One Grave at a Time (by Jeaniene Frost), my school books of course, The Book of Mormon, and this Friday I am going to start C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters. Needless to say, my brain is going to go into overload! But that is okay, because I have a “date” with my cousin tomorrow and a bachelorette party Saturday to relax my working brain. Well I think this has been a pretty successful first blog, so I am going to sign out for today. Enjoy!
