Working Hard!!!

Thank you SO much Dad for helping me out with my paper! I have yet to turn it in but I'll let you know what the results are when i get it back.

I have TWO quizzes on monday: Math and Political Science. But my poli sci teach. has a study guide on blackboard that i can follow. So i'll do that and see how it goes. Anyways, I got a call from my friend, Luis, and he's doing a report on the LDS religion for school and I'm the only LDS person he knows. So he asked me if he can attend church w/ me on sunday and then institute on Thursday. Soooo.... THAT'S a missionary experience waiting to happen! LOL. Let's see how that goes. I think it'll give me some missionary practice.
I'm doing well in school, taking a lot of notes and doing all of my homework and working hard at starbucks.

Smiles Are Back!!

These past few days have been pretty good! Less grumpiness! LOL! lately, i had been going through this self-pity round and i wasn't getting anywhere but down. But i soon came to realize that i really dont have that much to complain about. I have a great family, an awesome sister to live with (and neices and nephew), and motimportantly im a member of the one true church upon the earth. I have everything i need here for me. Also, i have the opportunity to go to school and get closer to my goals.
Also, i got to see and hold Jayden!!! He was only 4 hrs old when i got to hold him! i felt so privileged to have this perfect spirit in my arms! He is so precious and i'm sure he's going to be just as much of a ham as his big brother Tysen! lol! I showed ALL of my friends the pictures of Jayden i took on my phone everybody thought he was the sweetest looking thing! Anyways, i'm going to go and sleep now. Good Night!!!

YAY FOR EMILY!!!

Once again.... another grumpy sunday morning. lol. i've got to stop that habit. it always is when im working sunday mornings before church. but aside from that, my day turned out to be really great! i was sitting in sacrament meeting this afternoon and Emily Armstrong waltzes in!!!! i flipped out! i was so excited it was hard to contain my girlish squealing. after sacrament, we laughed and hugged, and chatted our ears off. I was s0o happy to see her!!!! Also, what made my day even more special was when steven gave me a boquet of.... carnations. lol. there WAS a rose in there. hmmmm.... wonder what he did with that! lol. I absolutely loved it tho. i was so happy that my brother was thinking of me on valentines day! In any case, i even talked to my buddy trevor today (the guy i went on a date with in utah) and i had a lt of fun talking to him. im pretty comfortable talking to him as a friend. for some reason, that was just one more highlight of my day. i think after emily surprised me at church, everything started to get better. Well, im getting sleepy now and my sentences arent making muh sense... im kinda scatterbrained right now. this means its time for me to recharge and get some sleep. Love y'all! Happy Valentines day!

The Flora Department

oh my goodness, oh my goodness!! we were BUSY today. Not with customers, with preparing for Valentines day! Thats all that we have been doing lately at work which causes it to be on my mind a lot wheather i want it to be or not. And thats kind of depressing cuz i dont even have a date... nothing to look forward to lol. But who needs a date anyway??? p.s. it'll be sunday.... going to church in pink or red or both is what i have to look forward to lol. So i' still working on my project and its due on the 17th. its hard writing about myself. Its coming out slowly but surely. anyways, im getting tired. love y'all!

I love seeing celebrity look-a-likes!

Today was a very interesting day. I ran into like three ppl i know... all in a row. lol. First it was my friend Xander, then my friend/ co-worker Lowen, and then Steve. I thought it was pretty funny because i've never really run into anybody at school before. Anyways, i had fun in my communications class, we learned about stereotypes and different perspectives. OH! and there's this guy in my class who looks A LOT like Johnathan Rhys-Meyers. If you dont know who that is, look it up. And it so happens that we went to the same elementary school in horsethief canyon around the same time. But i don't remember him from there tho. His name is Mike. But ya, i'm still working in floral. im not really sure if i like it a whole lot. i dont really get a whole lot of direction there so i feel lost and i dont really know how to answer customers questions. I HATE that feeling! my comfort bubble is in the coffee kiosk.

But its late so im going to go to bed now! NIGHT!!!

From Bad to Good

UGHHHH!!!! i feel so exhausted and mentally drained! Working in the floral dept takes a lot of creativity and multitasking. The coffee kiosk does too but it's a different ind of multitasking. i guess its because i havent worked in floral a whole lot. Valentines day is going to be sooo crazy! i cant wait for it to be over! Who needs a stinking date? the only date i want is with my pillow. i just want to sleep the whole day.... after church lol. which is what i'll probably do. I really havent had one day just OFF. its either: work all day, school all day, study/work all day, or church all day. (not that i'm complaining about church). I was in such a bad mood this morning from all the lack of contact w/ my friends, work, and school work (poor customers) that by the time i got to church i was about to burst to tears. i didn't have a legitimate reason why... i was just tired (and yes, i know this is going to happen for the next 18 weeks and it's only going to get harder). but i was sitting in the pews listening to bro kim give his testimony and the spirit hit me so strong! i HAD to get up and bear my testimony. After that, i was HAPPY! And i was GRATEFUL! and i was feeling less sorry for myself, and more willing to hear others. it's amazing what bearing your testimony can do. I bore my testimony on the priesthood. i said i was so grateful that it is within reach if i just ask. and that i was also so grateful for the great big family i have. Anyways, i thought i'd share that with all of you because i miss you all and i know you are all concerned about me because you love me! and i'm so grateful for that.

Work and School

So two weeks of school has gone by and already im exhausted. Its probly cuz im working 34-36 hrs at work lately. I'll be working like crazy especially because Valentines Day is coming up. I've been asked to work in the floral dept. because Sandra (the floral manager) thinks i'm really creative and she really needs my help. It was also a plus when she found out that i knew how to do floral bows (thanks to mom teaching me....and everyone who got married). I told her all about how I used to help mom out with the weddings and that i do have a little experience. She had me do a bunch of arrangements last year and she thinks i'm awesome. but i'm only helping out for the weekend. i dont think i'd ever transfer over there. i wouldnt get paid as much and there arent very many hours. but it would be fun.

Anyways, about school.... i think i'm doing great! my study habits are improving. i still kinda nod off a little when i'm reading my poli-sci book lol. but its all very interesting. im still having trouble understanding political science. that's my hardest class. so if anyone is willing for me to call them to ask random questions about the government, please let me know. lol. I also have a project due on the 17th for my communications class and it has to be about me. So me and my manager came up with two different (but similar) metaphors about my aspirations, past, and current happenings. i'm excited to do it. And she's excited too lol. but i have to construct it. And it has to do w/ a vase so i bought a cheap one and then i accidentally broke right before i got home :( but if you want to know more about it or would like to add your input, please call me or leave a mssge if i dont answer so i can call you back.
I love you all! time for me to go to sleep!
