I haven't always succeeded in life. Sometimes each time I get up something seems to want to push me down. Sometimes I laugh until tears roll down my cheeks. Sometimes I sit in the wind and just breathe. Sometimes I feel like crying, and sometimes like flying. It's all me, and sometimes...I write these things down, and they're here for you to see.

Dear World, take two...

So, I'm done with finals. Actually, my Freshman year of college is done. Heh, wow. Isn't that crazy? I think it's a little crazy. I even said "far out" yesterday, NO idea where that came from. ;)

I liked this last semester better than the first one, probably a few reasons for that, but I won't bore you with those.  But I really think NOT taking 16 credits is better.  I still had seven classes, but only 14.5 this semester...Physical Science, :) Family Finance, New Testament, :) Social (ballroom) Dance 180, :) Human Development, :D Book of Mormon, :D and Music 176. That equalled to 7.5ish finals... Music 176's final was in February and was my audition, Dance was the Swing, all the other tests...I say .5 because there was a take-home portion of Book of Mormon, but it was like another final. So. yeah.  Big year, good year, tough year, lots-of-learning year, happy year, sad year, and I can't believe it's all fit into one year.  Less than a year, I guess, but hey.

But I'm done. :)

I partied (par-tay) yesterday, which was so much fun.  I actually didn't know what day of the week it is was most of the week, just that the next day would be such and such a final, and they all need to be done soon.  So, I couldn't remember if it was Friday or Saturday, but was just glad for the break. :)  Had delish food, rested a bit, and went to the Provo Temple with some good friends, and even made a new one! :)

Turns out the Creamery is really busy right after BYU's Graduation. Go figure.  So we went down to Maceys where they have lactose-free cones for cheaper anyways.  That's the first time in a long time that I've had ice cream. It was alright. ;)

I don't know where this idea came from exactly, but suddenly we were looking for chalk, and found some for $1.06.  Then we were on our way to the round-about on 820 North (still in our skirts/suit, mind you) and set about to have some fun.  There was some crazy good talent that occured with those five colors of chalk.  I was amazed. :)  And really, really loved it. :) Favorite quotes from the day:
"It fits perfectly!", "Kami, pull over!!", "Chalkin' up a round-about, that is what I'm talkin' about",
"Gas Station" "What? I don't get it" "Hey, yellow car!" "What, where!?" "I Still don't get it!!"

Okay, I loved yesterday. Thanks to everyone who came, it was a real pleasure to be with each of you.  To anyone who didn't get to come, I'm sure there'll be more escapades in the future.  I've looked back over this and am kind of considering just deleting it...it sounds a little less ordered than normal, but hey.  That's life, right?

Ps. go to http://www.mylifeisaverage.com/ it's hilarious. I'm thinking we should put at least some of yesterday's events on there. ;)

Anyhow, this is me blogging. Because it's something I do. Occasionally.

Have a great day!! :)

Love, Me.

Meh

Sometimes I have a lot to say, sometimes I don't.  Sometimes, like now, I know I should be doing homework, but I'm not.  And for the past few minutes or hours or days, my life can be summed up with this expression: Is it summer yet?? ;)

Of course, I like spring, too.  You get your flowers and blossoms on trees, and the first groups of students studying outside in the warm 60* air.  Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can keep a small part of the sun on your skin.  This is what people call a "tan".  I get very slight shadings. ;)  Also with spring comes the ending of school soon, (Finals begin tomorrow and go through next week), sunglasses, and hay fever.  And the Testing Center is filled with a cacaphony of sniffles and coughs running through the air; one of the few things students can share in that room. 

Oh, by the way, I got a 97% on my Physical Science Unit Four Exam!!! Imagine that!! :) I only missed one- best score I've gotten on ANYTHING my Freshman Year...scratch that, I aced a Book of Mormon quiz last semester, but this was a TEST!!!  And Physical Science, at that! Now if I can do that on more finals...I got a 94% on my New Testament this afternoon.  "Things are lookin' up..."

Before this I was laying on the floor in the middle of our living room spread-eagle* and my dad walks by and says, "by sitting in your chair, have I thrown off your Karma?" ;) No, dad, you haven't.  I just...all of my studying motivation energy ran off when I sat in the sun this afternoon, I think...

*I saw a HILARIOUS shirt today.  It had a picture of an imprint of a ski-er in the ground, poles and all, and said, "I screamed like an eagle, but fell like a rock".  I laughed inside. ;)

Life is short.  Time is long.  Something like that.

I just got kicked out of my studying zone, twice.  I think that's fate telling me to go and watch a movie and eat "unhealthy food".  Right? ...No one's around to say otherwise. :P :-/

So, yeah. This has been me rambling.  Tune in next time to see if I say anything spectacular. ;)  Good luck with life, all.  Have fun.  Be happy.  Be good.  Don't eat bugs.  If you're going on a mission, Congratulations, my friends!!! :) You make me happy. :) <-- see, like that.

Love, Me.
