I Heart October

Lately I've been trying to be more patient with life and stop wishing it would go faster. I realized that I'm stuck in the present so I might as well have fun while I'm here. So after not liking college for a year and a quarter, I am actually enjoying it. This probably has to do with the fact that it is cooling down and I actually like being outside walking around campus now :)

I take most of my classes on the downtown campus, and microbiology is by far my favorite. I am also meeting a lot of awesome pre-nursing students all of whom I hope make it into the program. Sadly we probably won't all make it in because not very many do, but I keep hoping anyways. Institute is awesome as always and I've already got my classes for next semester picked out and they are with a couple of my favorite teachers which will be awesome.

I've also been going to a student ward which is pretty fun and I got called as a ward missionary. I was scared to death when my bishop gave me the calling but it's turned out to be really fun and I get to work with a great group. It also helps that my ward has a ton of ward missionaries so there's lots of support:)

Anywho, nothing super exciting has happened lately, I've just been trying to keep up with my classes and work on my reading list. My next goal is to finish reading John Adams, which I started a while ago but other things got in the way. Also I have been watching a lot of movies this weekend because my brain needed a break after all of my midterms :) So we went to see RED for my mom's birthday (I loved it, it's hilarious), and on Saturday I went to my friend's house and watched 3 and a half of the Star Wars movies, and last night I watched Waking Ned Divine. Now that my brain is officially melted, I can get an early start putting it back together tomorrow morning :) I have several projects coming up so the next couple weeks will probably be kind of crazy, but then the Holidays will be here and I will get a break for a couple weeks before I get ready to start putting my application together for the nursing program! o.O I'm trying not to freak out.

So that's about it for now, I hope everyone has a fabulous Halloween!! I'm so excited!!

Oh and also, I saw this picture and I think it's one of my new favorite pictures of all time:

Random, Take 2

So I started blogging and it was automatically translating it into Hindi, which was weird, and then I realized I accidentally hit the translate button. So here we go in English:

So here's what I've been up to lately:

1. Studying! A lot.

2. Reading: recently, Fablehaven 5, and Mockingjay

3. Occasional student ward activities

4. Sleeping, sometimes

And that's about it :) I'm loving my microbiology class, it's amazing and I'm learning a ton. My other three classes I could do without, but at least I'm getting them finished :) I'm also taking a Book of Mormon class at Institute which is awesome. I'm also volunteering at the children's hospital, and last week I got to spend a few hours with a newborn baby and he was so tiny!! It was probaby the best day of volunteering I've had so far. He was so sweet and I even got him to smile a couple of times :)

Waiting.

I am sitting in an orange chair on on a loft in a journalism building watching CNN waiting for my microbiology class to start in 48 minutes, not that I'm counting. It is giving me quite the opportunity to rethink my life. But mostly all I can think about is how the guy on the screen talking about hurricanes has a crooked yellow tie and moves his head lot. Thus, you see a demonstration of my deep thought :)
Also, I am thinking about how the chair I'm sitting in has 4 legs, but the front two have wheels and the back two don't. Which makes sense if you want to swivel the chair around I guess, but it makes it really loud when I scoot backwards, because the floor is concrete, and steel scraping across concrete is not a pretty sound. Also, this building is weirding me out, because half of it is concrete, the other half is painted orange and a brownish-purplish mud color that is not very attractive. I'm wondering if it's supposed to be eco-friendly, because the ceiling looks pretty nast. In other news I discovered a free printer hidden away in a journalism research room that saved my life this morning!! Woohoo!
So I googled the word "waiting" and it came up with some pretty funky stuffs. These two are my favorites, they pretty much describe how I feel right now.

Update On My Life

So in the last few weeks I have:
Started working at a music store where my brother got me a temp job renting out instruments, which has been pretty bomb. And it's pretty much just paying for my textbooks for college, where I started my sophomore year last Thursday.
Also, for my birthday I got a dog!!!! Who is so cute, pictures to come.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand that's about it :) I just read Fahrenheit 451 for the third time, and the Bicentennial Man for the first time, and am currently reading The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down for my class, and I am going to read either The Tempest or Common Sense or both next. :)

Summer School is OVER!!!

Today was the last day of my summer Chemistry class!! Woohoo!! Now I get a week off before I start a temporary job at the music store my big brother works at, and then I'll start normal classes. So much for summer break :P Oh well. Now that school is over I can get to work hardcore on my reading list :) And then in less that a month I'll be 19! Woohoo!!
In other news I started going to a student ward, which so far has been fun, and I really like the bishop and his counselors and their wives. They are all really nice and so are the members in the ward that I've met so far.
Aaaand that's pretty much it :)

Meet Hamlet: aka My Sister Rocks

This is Hamlet. He was discovered on my ceiling today, and I was just going to set a trap and spend the next week on the couch. But my awesome sister decided he needed to die so he didn't escape and bite her kids, so we moved the book shelves and she and my mom took him down. It was pretty epic.
It was also pretty disgusting.
