.... Made it!

I'm sitting here tonight thinking about this past semester, and I can't help but go back through my blog and look at all the things I have done, and how far I have come and how much I have grown. You know you have grown, when you can start to see the growth in yourself, sorry friends I bet to you all I am a completely different person... Hopefully a better person that is.. Well anyways,  I made it! One semester down, and a whole lot to go. From what I have been told by my roommates and friends, the first one is the worst, so at least I have that under my belt. Final grades haven't been posted  yet... still waiting to see if I squeaked by and manage to get a C in my Econ class, but other then that I am living the life. This has been one of the most incredible journeys I have ever taken. I thank my Heavenly Father each and every day for blessing me with such an experience that truly has helped me get to where I am going... which maybe will get to tonight. :)

This picture was captured by one of my fabulous roommates. I had been studying all day, and she thought I needed some time away from the books. We popped in Home Alone, and tried to eat away the stress of the next day.... Some people gain the freshmen 15... and Im a little surprised I didn't put on weight especially considering the types of food I resorted to the past few weeks, but when I moved home I actually weighed less then when I started.. I guess stress and finals will do that to a person. Who'd a thought!

Don't judge.. it was a rough week!!!

This is the last picture of all three of us taken the night before we left! I'd like to say I was super excited to be moving home, and couldn't wait to start my "new journey" but it was hard. It's one of those bitter sweet moments when you know you're doing what you're supposed to, but it still kinda stings anyways. 

Me and Rylee have become quite the singers lately, and well with the help of our good friend we put together a video, that kind of shows whats next. It really is good.. minus the singing part, but the meaning and everything else behind it is so true!!... so watch it, laugh at it, love it, and watch it again.. It definitely will bring a smile to your face, especially on a bad day!

Well with that video being played, and rumors on facebook, and other things, I guess it's time to tell the blogging world what is really going on. I have obviously moved home from Cedar City, and from college......  crazy huh??? ya sometimes I think I am too, but in all reality I know it's where I am supposed to be at and I am doing exactly what I should be.. I have put in mission papers, and am waiting.. not so patiently I might add on an assignment. Eventually I might get around to sharing more details of how it all came about, and how much of a crazy emotional roller coaster I have been on, and probably will continue to be on, until I leave. But until then there is one thing I know... and that this is exactly what God has intended for me to be doing all along. That I was given certain hardships, trials, and challenges, to prepare me for this journey I soon will begin. I know I couldn't of done it without the constant examples of my family and friends, you guys really are a big part of why I am the way I am. That saying that says to some sort "It takes a village to raise a child" is completely true, especially in my case. I am grateful to you all each and everyday and will be in debt to you forever. The gospel of Jesus Christ is true! It always has been and will continue to be so until the end. Share your testimonies with others, you never know whose lives you might be touching. 

Love you all, and thanks for taking this crazy journey with me! I hope you're in it for the long hall! I've gotta feeling we're gonna need to buckle up for this ride!

Have a safe and wonderful Holiday Season!

Week before finals

I haven't decided whats worse yet, finals, or the preparation for the finals. All I know was this past week was long, hard, exhausting mentally and physically, and plain rough. Monday I sat down and advised a plan. It was going to be the exact thing that helped me stay focused and get through the next two weeks in a safe manor. You can't really tell by this picture, but my week was pretty packed full of studying.

Whenever you have something big like finals, that takes a lot of preparation and work there always has to be a reward. Well me and Rylee came up with a game plan that if we made it through studying, and finals we would reward ourselves.. We're secretly hoping the parentals will take pitty on us, but we did a contract. Yes its that official. Where if we succeed this next week we get to treat ourselves to a nice night out on the town, Temple Square, Dinner, and of course some shopping. Lets hope for the best this upcoming week. 

Tuesday night we got hit with an unexpected, foot of snow. There was so so much, and it all happened within a 12 hour time period. Ya it was kind of crazy. 

No worries this selfie was taken at 12:30 after helping out and playing in the snow!!! It was freezing cold,  but totally worth the loss of sleep!

You can only study for so long right?... I thought I had done good all week, so when the opportunity arrived of me leaving negative 17 degree weather to go to St. George to the temple, I of course took it. I knew it would be one of my last times doing baptisms down there for a while and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. 

Me, Rylee, and Sadie met up with our friends that are going to Dixie to spend the day at the temple. It had been a crazy week, and probably was the only thing that kept me from going crazy. We truly are blessed to have so many temples so close. I love being able to take off from school and just go and enjoy my time in the temple.

 After we got done doing baptisms for the dead, we treated ourselves to some good ol home cooking... or Texas Roadhouse! Ha we had had a rough week and definitely deserved it!

 Just walking around the visitors center. 

They had it decorated so cute for Christmas. It definitely helped put me in the Christmas spirit. I guess with all the stress and everything lately I have kind of forgotten what month it even is. Luckily, between my institute lesson on Tuesday and the trip to the Temple, I have definitely remembered how blessed we are to be celebrating this holiday, and what it truly means!

Grateful this place is my castle! 

Who knew that they put up lights around Christmas time in St. George... Not me! It definitely reminded me of home, and of Temple Square! 

... I made yet another trip home this weekend. I didn't know if i was going to be able to because of the snowy weather and bad roads, but things ended up working out, and I was able to come home again. It has been a good weekend at home for the most part. Miss Khloe got baptized!!!! So, that was fun to be able to watch and be a part of.

It's so crazy to think she is eight! Goll, I guess it just means I'm getting old :) 

Tomorrow I get to head back down to Cedar for 4 days to take finals. I would probably do anything to get out of it.. but since that isn't going to happen I guess I'll just smile and get it over with! ... Here's to hoping you all have a better week then I do!!! ... There will be some new interesting things up on the blog shortly.. Will just say my life is about to get super interesting, and exciting! ... anyways :)... 

Hugs and Loves from.... <Cedar>.. sorta :)

Playing Catch up!

It has been a little while since I have posted something on here, I feel like I have a lot of catching up, and probably even more explaining to do. I have sat down several times to write a post, but the words just never really could come out. So I guess were going to start with what I have been up to as a college student lately :)

College is great. I definitely love it, but I am so excited to come home for a few days. It's hard to keep yourself entertained, especially when you are trying not to spend money... which is every college students problem. I'm in a completely different mind set then what I was when I first started. I always though I just wanted to rush through it, get it all done, and get it on with my life, but now I realize college is supposed to be enjoyed not just endured :)... haha Well anyways me and Rylee kept seeing hair bows, and so we pinterested it, and got in touch with our crafty side, which anyone that knows me knows this does not happen often, but it was fun and they turned out pretty cute especially for just learning!

 The beginning :)

Final Product:)... not to bad right!

This is how we get crazy at college! You all should be pretty worried, so worried that you maybe come down to Cedar City and check on me and make sure Im okay.. that would be pretty awesome :)!!! 

This past week has been a little bit more entertaining then most weeks down here. Thursday I had the opportunity to spend the day in St. George. It's so close that I feel like it would be a disgrace if I didn't get up there and get warm quite frequently! This trip was a little different though, a group of us decided it would be cool to set a day specifically to attend and do baptisms for the dead. It was incredible to be able to attend and to take part in such an amazing ordinance that we are blessed to have and be able to do for these people that have passed on. 

Anyways, funny story while were there right.. It's always a good time when you're at the temple with some older temple workers and stuff, but we got there and they were helping us, and after being asked a million times where we were from, we were able to do confirmations. Well Rylee went first, and the poor guy that was doing it had never done it before, and he struggled getting the words right. Me and Sadie just sat there with our eyes closed trying not to laugh, because what he was saying multiple times was clearly not right, but anyways we made it through that and it was great!!! The Temple was absolutely incredible and I loved being able to go to a new place, and still feel right at home.

We did some shopping afterwards and ate some good food... :) TIKI TIKI, yes mom you can be jealous, and then came home to some crazy rainy cold weather. All in all though the day was well spent!

Friday was great, maybe because I knew it would be the last Friday that I would spend in Cedar City as a college student for a while, or just because it had been a very long week, but me and Rylee watched the first Hunger Games, and then planned to attend the second later on that night, but instead met up with Jordan and Sadie for Dinner at Costa, laughed a lot, almost died in the snow a lot cuz jord struggles a little bit at driving in it, but all in all had fun. Instead of going to catching fire we relaxed and spent the night watching TV/Movies, eating brownies and laughing a whole bunch. It was relaxed and chilled and definitely much needed girl time!

Sometimes I wonder what I leave the house in, I guess this would probably be the reason why I haven't been on a date in a long while, but ya know those boys just don't know what there missing out on!

Saturday I woke up, and immediately started getting ready for the day, because I had slept in till 11ish and Me and Rylee were meeting up to to go the football game. After getting bundled up, we braved the snow, which there was a lot, and the freezingness and went and cheered on our t birds... until half time that is. College football just is too long!!! and kind of boring when you don't know anyone or even really care, but it was still fun to freeze and cheer with our fellow student body. 

The field was covered and it was cold, but those games are always the funnest!!! We enjoyed it to a certain extent, until we couldn't feel our fingers or toes, so then we left to get warm! We treated ourself to some Chilis soup, and some divine Starbucks... hot chocolate that is. They have the best!! There just isn't anything that comes close to how good it is. Which is probably bad, because its a little pricey, but totally worth it!

We definitely make some cute cold cheerleaders thats for sure :)

Saturday night was spent going to the girls game with friends, which I love watching, maybe it's because I secretly wish I could be playing with them, but then I think again, and decide I would rather just watch, and then we watched the boys play after, and then got super spontaneous and went to a really late showing of catching fire!!! It was absolutely amazing and I loved it! Definitely a must see!!! 

Life is super crazy, and stressful, but I can't complain at all, or I shouldn't :) I am pretty dang blessed!! Which leads me to thanksgiving!! I see everyones comments on facebook about how thankful they are, and it just makes me so happy! I am so grateful to have blessed with such awesome people in my life. Words can't express what you mean to me, or how I will ever repay some of you for the things you have helped me do, and helping to mold me into the crazy girl that I am today! I love you all!!! Be safe this holiday week, and slow down and really enjoy this time with your family!! There everything :) I know mine is!! 

Hugs and Loves from Cedar!!! :) 

Odds and Ends and Catching Up :)

It's been a little while sense I actually posted about whats happening at college, so I figured instead of studying for my Econ test I'll blog instead, I mean i'll better be able to focus after doing this right.. probably not, but thats okay any ways. I apologize ahead of time, this is all over the place and crazy, but at least you can enjoy some pictures, and random thoughts right!
School is school, it kinda isn't really fun at all any more. Going to class is getting harder and harder, and staying focused is harder then that! We are on the down hill climb of this semester, and I'm hoping to just finish it out... It's becoming quite the challenge of motivation and determination on my part.
Halloween wasn't really the same. I guess I must of been living in a bubble or something, because I didn't even realize it was halloween until I saw people dressed up on campus.

 This is the extent of my halloween adventures. We dressed up as the "three blind mice" ... or cats and went to the institute dance/gathering/free food thing. It was actually more fun to get dressed up, then the actual event itself, but thats whatever!

I've never put a picture up of my roommates, but this is one of them. Her name is Maria, me and Rylee dressed her up for Halloween, she went as me.. Jk 

Im sure you all heard, or experienced the crazy weather that we have all been enjoying.. gotta love Utah right? .. sure :) I can't remember what morning it was, but i woke up to some pretty crazy wind, rain, snow, hail, weather. It was freezing... anyways I was walking up to the science building for my math class, when I heard these really crazy weird noises, followed by a thud.. Ya this could not be good, well in the mean time, this huge tree fell on the building right next to my math class. It was a little adventurous!!! 

I really have no idea what we were doing or even when this was, but I know it was sort of late and Rylee had to go to her car. She took my straightener for protection against the bad guys. Needless to say, no one was injured in her pursuit to her motor vehicle :). Never a dull moment with us I swear :)

 Tuesdays, are Taco Tuesday followed by institute. Me and Sadie talked Rylee into coming with us, and I think it's safe to say we had a good time. I must say institute is a lot better then seminary, either that or I'm a lot different then high school, and definitely appreciate it more!

Some of our favorite people made sure and sent us down with some cookie dough, so we could enjoy some cookies! It wouldn't really surprise me if I gain the freshmen 20 in just one semester.

 This all took place last night, and I'm sure there will be more pictures and things blogged about it at the end of this week. My family is spending the week in St. George, and with that comes a serious spoiled Mishae. My parents stopped by giving me food, and gas money to make the adventures back and forth from Cedar to St. George this week. Well after a rough Monday, me and Rylee said the heck with college were gonna leave the snow behind and take a trip to st george. We went swimming in the hotty pool, aka the hot tub, laughed a lot and ate pretty good. It was a little rough waking up early to come to class today, but thats alright it was a lot of fun!

 When mama is around guess what she has to do.. Yup Braids for days:) Nothing like having opposite hair styles huh??

This is such a terrible thing I'm about to do. For the past little while every time we go to St. George I gotta get me some Tiki Tiki Grill. Its absolutely amazing, and I have converted Rylee over to the ways to. In the past two weeks we have been there twice. It's amazing!!!!! I'll probably end up there again sometime before my parents go home!!! 

Im sorry this was a little crazy, and every where, but that is basically how my life is going right now. It's a little every where and a lot a bit crazy.. YOLO though right ;) haha I sure guess so!!! Hope everyone is doing well, I think about you all often and miss you!!! Make good choices :)

Fall Break

It's been a little while sense I have posted on here, but I thought I would share how awesome my fall break was. I don't think I have ever been so excited to get in a car and drive 4.5 miles to come home! Me and Rylee sluffed school on Friday, and started our break a little early and came home thursday afternoon! It was probably one of the smartest choices we could of ever came up with. Thursday was spent driving and catching up with family.. Friday was definitely one of those days, that started bad, but ended great! A group of us, and by a group I mean, me, Rylee, Taryn, and Alyssa decided to party it up. Well what is there to do in Tremonton.. nothing so like ol times we drive around creeping, and when that ended in an epic fail, we hit up the party house... Mike and Cami's, where we were waiting for them to come home. Mike made us cookies, and we laughed and laughed and laughed some more. It definitely was much needed, and turned out to be even better night then I thought. It had gotten late, and people had to get up early the next morning, so I dropped them off at there cars, and then headed to visit some old co workers, where we spent an entertaining night catching up at Denny's.
Saturday was definitely an adventure. A group of us friends from high school decided to hit up frightmares and enjoy us some crazy fun!!!

It was Sadie's first time ever going to Lagoon, and so we definitely had to document every second of it, and I sure am glad I did. I am so blessed to have these guys as friends, even if we are a few hundred miles away.

 The creepers always wanted to hang out with us, because we were by far the cutest crowd there.

Sunday was spent attending church in the family ward, and seeing a lot of people. It was a farewell for one of my friends, so it kind of was like a high school reunion all over again. We all kind of decided we needed to get together again before everyone headed back to school for the remainder of the semester. I voluntarily held a bonfire at my house, where we were able to catch up and enjoy one another company. 

Its crazy to think that we have been graduated for almost 6 months, and we have all gone our separate ways, but when we get back together things never change. 

Monday I woke up and went for a run.. believe it or not I actually missed my usual big square run around the high school and Tremonton. Running here in Cedar on the treadmill just isn't the same. I got ready, and then pulled out the super senior card and went to the high school, but not because I wanted too.. :) I took my favorite counseling center family some lunch, where we laughed, reminisced, and enjoyed each others company. I was introduced to the new counselor who already new so much about me.. I'm thinking I should probably be worried, but then again, what the heck... my presence lives on at Bear River High School Right :).. at least I left one legacy behind. Saying goodbye to my counseling center family never gets easier. The memories that have been shared in that place are one of a kind, and I truly and so grateful I had the experience of getting so close to my favorite counseling center family... these people, you know who you are, truly helped make me into the person I am, and put up with all the crazy drama, tears, and memories of senior year... and now college! 

Tuesday... bluh! I really didn't want to leave and come back to school.. Home life is easy, fun, and care free... and well college is not. Me and Rylee always seem to have entertaining and deep conversations to make the ride a little less awful. We made it back to Cedar, and eventually made it through our first week back after fall break. I loved seeing all of you, and miss you lots, but know I am definitely here in this place for a specific reason!!! 

Hugs and Loves from Cedar :)

Enjoy the Journey

This past week has been one to remember. It was homecoming week down here in Cedar, and with homecoming comes a whole bunch of activities and adventures. Friday night before the football game they had a dinner/ get together/ concert/ true t bird night. 

 This is "The Bell Tower" the tower that you are only supposed to walk under twice in your college life. They light it up on homecoming and play music, so of course the group of us needed a picture.. It was freezing cold, but we stuck it out, and enjoyed a lot of crazy adventures!

               Just supporting our T birds at the football game, and freezing our booties off!!!

 This is just a random, doesn't really have to do with anything picture.. haha Me and Rylee spend our nights at the gym, not just to work out, but to watch us some post season baseball. Im pretty sure the people there think were insane because sometimes it gets a little intense and we get a little into the game.. But hey its the play off right :) Things get a little interesting with us :)

Hugs and Loves from Cedar!!!!!

College Life

The past week has been packed full of fun things. I feel like I am finally starting to get the hang of college, the studying, friends, and getting out and doing things. I love it! A group of friends decided to kick off the weekend by going to St. George. It has been so cold here in Cedar we thought it would be nice to see the sun and get warmed up, and catch a SUU softball game while we were there. Needless to say, St. George was freezing as well, and our softball team lost, but it was still fun to watch Jord play, hang out, and relax.

 I don't think I could make a trip down to st geezy with out stopping at swig. Its my all time favorite place ever!.. and so of course before the game we ran and got cookies and drinks. I'm telling ya if you haven't been here then you better go! It's fantastic!

This would be the crew sitting and watching the game. It turned out to be freezing cold, so we snuggled and attempted at staying warm! Jord pitched a few innings, and dominated with the bat like always. It was super fun to watch a "college" game and just enjoy being back around that kind of atmosphere! 

This cute girl is Amberlee. She is going to school down at Dixie. A little background info on this is we were outfielders together when I played on Charge. We became basically inseparable at every ball tournament and hit it off as not only teammates but friends. She is from Vernal and I haven't seen her in probably 2 years, other then the occasional snap chat, Facebook post, and so on... but I was sitting at the top of the bleachers when I heard a "Mush", and I knew it had to be someone that knew me pretty well, I turned around and HOLY COW it was my long lost friend. It was fun to run into her and talk about old times, new times, and college. I don't really think it was a coincidence that we ran into each other at the ball park, just because thats where our friendship first began. 

If anything I learned about softball and sports in general, other then they suck, they make your body hurt, and there totally not worth the stress that go into them.. :) is everlasting friendships are made. I am so glad I had the opportunity to play ball with those people that I did from all over everywhere and get to know a lot of people. Especially now, that me and berlee live closer to each other then we ever have and are planning on hanging out and making a lot more crazy memories. ... On another note, my mom said I looked like I was 15 in this picture... Ouch I thought I at least looked like I was 17:)

We decided after the ball game got over that we would take a trip to the temple just to walk around. It was pretty late, and Im surprised the doors weren't closed, but they must of knew some pretty "Important people" were gonna stop by. It was a great way to end our night, and kick off conference weekend.

The church is true my friends :) 

We ended up getting home pretty late, but that was alright it was a much needed get away and a fun and uplifting trip! Saturday was spent watching conference, going to the football game, watching some more conference, going to the volleyball game, and being a bum! I can't really decide what session of conference I liked the most, they all were truly inspiring, and left me feeling like I could continue on for another 6 months until the next one :)

This was the first conference away from home, which was a little sad. I figured it would be a lot easier if there was a few of us watching conference together, eating some food and just enjoying it together. I was right! It was fun to be able to sit down with these friends of mine and listen to conference. It was an amazing experience to be able to enjoy the teachings with these guys, and be together as a group of friends. 

Sunday morning session we had breakfast and watched it at my house, while sunday afternoon session we went to jordan and sadies and had lunch and watched it. Needless to say I worked out hard last night at the gym to work off all of the food we ate. I can no longer use the excuse of starving college student because we had enough food to probably feed the entire campus! 

It was such a fun, and spiritually uplifting day. I can't believe how much I have honestly grown sense moving down to college. I figured I would grow up physically and mentally, but never realized how much growing up spiritually I would do as well. I guess this is a good thing... of course its a good thing :) I am truly happy with myself and the person I have become. I struggled through out high school with being happy with me, and now I can truly say I am. Even if I bomb a test, or struggle in a class I have more of an Eternal outlook on the whole matter, and realize everything truly does happen for a reason, and I am so grateful for the things I have had to overcome and hurdle to get me to where I am today. 

Hugs and Loves my friends :) Keep on smiling life is great!!!

All Smiles All the Time :)

Tonights one of those nights that I have so much on my mind if I don't word vomit all over the page I think I might go insane. *word vomit- a word commonly used by college students to get everything out.* These past few weeks have been a little crazy! I say crazy because I hate the word stressful and I am trying not to be stressed and just enjoy this adventure. College is so great! I really am loving it... but it also is so so hard!... and I hate to say this but only one or two classes that I ever took in high school really even compare to the work load, the hours of studying, and stress that comes with it. I'm trying to be a good student ... wink wink nod nod .... right :) as I can by studying, and preparing for tests and things like that... College is expensive, and umm nobody has time for throwing away money by failing. I took a math test and a dance test on friday, so I was feeling pretty good going into the weekend, at least I didn't have to think about that stuff for a few days. Saturday was a recuperating day. I slept in till 12! I guess I needed it because I was exhausted! I cleaned, because no one else does, and laid around and kind of just relaxed.

Saturday afternoon I got forced into going to the Relief Society broadcast. I was planning on watching it all along, but with technology now, it was going to be in the comfort of my own bed, where I wouldn't have to get ready and everything. But... my friend Monica got me to go with her.... One thing YSA wards do to get students to attend things like this is of course.... free food. There was a few young men that served us dinner before the broadcast, so we were able to have full tummys, and be able to enjoy the message!

 It was a little weird going to the Relief Society Broadcast. I felt like I was way to young to be there, and that I just wanted to go back to young women's where I new all of the leaders and everything.. It didn't take long though for me to feel at home though. The lessons and talks given truly were an inspiration, and I am so glad that I was able to watch and learn! One of my most favoritest things out of all of was the sister missionaries in the choir! :)

Just one of the many thoughts shared at the broadcast... I am so so so excited for conference. I feel like I have been counting down the days for at least 2 weeks now! I'm having a little get together with some friends, it will be a little easier if were all together to stay focused, and feast upon the words together!... and eat some good food of course!

                                    

                                      Lets be honest, there is always time for a quick snap chat pic!!!

After the broadcast was over I hurried home so I could make it to the play Romeo and Juliet with my one roommate. One of our other roommates is a class collecting major, and was in the play so we thought we'd go watch. The play was outside, and Cedar hasn't been the warmest place in the world, so I finally got to wear my new coat! ... I stayed nice and warm though:)

    Guess who rocked there math test :)... This girl!! I sent this picture to my mom, she wondered if the A next to the blue paper had any coincidence that regarded my score. Nope, but I did get an A on my test.. It might be the only A I get so I thought I would share :)

                 

                                                       Guess who joined the gym????!!!

 Me and the famous Rylee Hodge decided it was time. We do not want college to get the best of us, and we do enjoy our sugar cookies almost nightly, and other unhealthy food that we eat, so we signed up! I have ran a few times in Cedar just outside on the roads, and well there are a lot of hills, and scary people, so I'm glad we did this! It has been fun so far, and it really has helped with my stress and my happiness level. .. and now I don't feel as guilty eating what I eat, I can at least use the excuse of "i'll run extra tonight for that one"

This pic is after our very first gym work out! :) 

I keep telling myself that I don't want to come home this weekend, but in all reality I really do. It's conference so that means, mom will make breakfast the whole family will be over, and I would get to spend one last weekend with Shandee before she heads off into the mission field. I know its not going to happen, so instead I'm enjoying every conversation, text, and snap chat that I get from her! She is seriously so amazing and the people of Spokane are lucky to be getting her!... and she is lucky to be getting a #missionarygirlfriend like me. :) 

Sometimes we text in dumb little hashtags, but these are the conversations i'll remember the most.  Another one of my friends is going out to preach the great word and I couldn't be happier!!! 

Although I have probably spent the past 3 hours waisting valuable study time, I'm glad I was able to have a little fun tonight. I have a HUGE econ test tomorrow, that I am not looking forward to at all. I didn't really know what to expect going into the class, and I'm still not quite sure what is going to be on the test besides a whole bunch of material that I do not know. Just talking about it kind of makes me want to throw up, but instead of studying I went to institute, which was amazing, it always is amazing and every time I go I leave with more knowledge of the gospel, and how amazing it really is, and then was going to attend a study party, that turned into a lets blow off studying go get some junk food, listen to loud music in the car, fail the test kind of a night. Although I'm still not prepared in anyway I kind of now know what I have to do, so that the next time a test comes around I'm not stuck having a freak out because I don't know any of the material. There is worse things to life and college then failing one test though right???...  I sure hope so, because I'm praying for a D! 

Hugs and loves from Cedar City :)
