A Long Weekend (or Just Three Days)!!!

A whole has been happening since last weeks post. First, I am way excited for this three day weekend. I have a lot planned. I am going to throughly cleaning my room (and give before and after pictures), go to a bridal shower for a dear friend, watch the BYU/Oklahoma game, read a lot of books, finish homework and sleep-in (I think sleeping in will be my favorite part of the weekend). I am already starting on some of my weekend plans by staying in the library for a while to finish my homework and spend some quiet time reading! I think I am going to enjoy this weekend!

Something else I have to dot his weekend is be really honest with a friend. I am going to attempt to talk to my best friend again and what I have to say probably going to upset her even more, but I must be honest with her. I can't lie to her. That will not get us anywhere in our relationship. I think this fight may escalate a little more, but things need to be said. She has to hear the truth. It will not be fun for either of us, but it must happen or I will loose my best friend forever and I can't allow that to happen.

Surprise Break Before Class

We had a quiz in Ballet today (the first quiz of the new semester) and then did some floor work. The treacher decided to let us out of Ballet early today (Ballet goes from 8am-9:30am and we were let out at 9am) which is nice because I can go get some breakfast and update my blog. A lot has happened recently and I have been taking everything in stride. Jamie and I had a very long talk yesterday and I have come to realize how greatful I am to have my big sister as my roommate (I just hope she feels the same way). Then my father called last night because he found out how rough of a day I was having and we had the same talk Jamie and I had earlier. I love my Daddy! Maybe that is why I am a Daddy's Girl! I have had a lot thing think about recently and have had a lot of things come my way that I never expected.

I have been busy as ever. I have already been assigned two papers and they are both due Monday. I am expecting some math homework today in class, but luckily, I only have math three days a week instead of four or five! This weekend will be very busy, but I think I will survive!

My love to all! Now time for breakfast and math (10am-11am) and then my scholarship meeting!

For Those Who Do and Don't Know...

A lot has happend recently. ore like within the past few months or so things have happened and I have finally started seeing the bigger picture. I have realized that I am going to face some hurt along the way and much of the time I am not going to like whatever is happening...BUT I must do one or more of the following...

1. This is the most important and therefore the first on my list. I must trust in the Lord no matter what. I must rely on Him even through the worst of times. I must remember that when all else fails, He will never leave me and I can always go to Him for anything!!!

2. I have love from many people in my life.

3. No matter what, life is going to freaking hurt but it is what I do to with the hurt and the pain that will determine my path!

4. Life goes on, whether I want it to or not.

5.Everything happens for a reason!

I have learned a lot and still have SO much more to do. To Jess, I love you! For everyone else. I love you too!

Let's Just Start All Over Again...

School starts tomorrow. I love school, I just wish I had a longer break. I have classes MW from 8am-Noom, TTH 8am-9:30am and Fridays 8am-11am. Busy life, busy schedule. Hopefully I get the job I want.

Best Friend...Where Art Thou?

I still have no idea why my bestest best friend in the whole world has decided to cut me out of her life. No matter how hard I try, I feel like I am about to lose her completely. To my "pudding" if you are reading this...come back to me. Please hear my side of the story. Tell me what I did worng. Please...

My Trek to Utah!

I get to trek to Utah...in a car (not a handcart) with my mom and little sister tomorrow at the crack of dawn (6am; I believe that is the departure time). I think I will do another six hour stretch tomorrow (I drove six hours on the way up here). I am somewhat excited to go back to Utah but I am sad that I couldn't stay longer just to see more people and do some more things I wanted to do (like go to Seattle and OMSI, go camping at the beach, go for a long bike ride, goof-off in downtown Portland, etc.). I think next year, I shall do Spring Term and take a month off work to come to Oregon for a month! I can come in July when we have the Ward Campout. I am sad that this is my third (or fourth???) time missing it in my whole life. *sigh* I am not too thrilled about school just because it means less free time on my hands. Oh well!

My Time in the Library

I am currently taking a break from an assignment to post this blog. I have noticed that I don't have a particularly heavy term schedule, I just have a lot of little papers to write. I am taking the second part of Old Testament, a student development class (Career and Majors Exploration), and an intermediate Jazz class. Not too hard, right? Yep, I am in the library writing the beginning of one of my papers due this term. I think I am going to go until it is completely written and some revisions so that it is out of my way tomorrow since I have a few job interviews during the day tomorrow. I think I will be home at about 5pm or 6pm, go with Hannah to get dinner, MAYBE go to FHE (I got released from my calling as FHE mom a little bit ago so now I am not as obligated to go), and clean the stove and the oven and part of my room tonight since cleaning chcks for our building are on Wednesday. Needless, to say I will be quite busy the next few days. I don't think I will even get to or answer my phone until tomorrow evening if I am lucky. I started cleaning the tub today since I always fail that part of the cleaning check (except for last time). I smell like bleach and the occasional person that walks by the table I am currently sitting at (with my computer) likes to look at my old bleach covered shirt (I did not feel like dressing up today for school so instead I am wearing sweat pants rolled up to my knees, since it is 90+ degrees outside and a very old t-shirt with bleach and paint stains). I will look better tomorrow even though I do have school. I will have job interviews until about 2 pm and then I will be on BYU campus revising my paper and starting the next assignment that is not due until midnight on Friday (or Saturday very early morning if we are being technical here). If there is time I will hope the bus from BYU to UVU to get a transfer credits request form so that all my credits here will transfer at least Fall. Speaking of transferring credits I need to stop by the religion department today to transfer my religion classes to the UVU Orem institute of religion so that I can receive two of the three graduation certificates for graduation from institute!

Just hope and pray that I don't lose my sanity. Although I think I may have done so already, but we'll see how the day plays out. I just better remember to grab my "to do" list tomorrow or I am toast. I need some kind of vacation...oh wait, I think my roommates and I are going to Logan, Bontiful and Ogden on the weekend of the 24th of July (that Friday is the state holiday pioneer day). I think we are going to leave on the afternoon of Thursday the 23rd and coming home on Saturday or Sunday evening. We want to go and see the Ogden, Bontiful and Logan temple, get family history for both the Gudmunson and Cummings side of the family, see parts of Hannah's mission, then drivng down to Salt Lake City and temple square, see the Oquirah Mountain temple open house, stop at the Draper, Mt. Timp, and Provo temples and have an all around good time. Then, we plan to hit the Manti and St. George temple later just to say that we have been in and seen all the temples in Utah!!!

Okay, enough blogging...time to get back to work (school work that is).
