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 :)
