Sometimes I miss living in an apartment

Today I was at ward prayer, and we do something called “nice notes” You can write a note to someone in the ward and then it gets delivered to them. Then today someone said, I would write you a note, but you don’t live here… Hmmm… Thanks? I just don’t fit in very well. First of all, I don’t really go out of my way to meet new people. Second of all I live outside of the apartment complex, so I guess that makes me an outsider.

I am a little jealous, not that I want to have a social life, but I do like to fit in. I loved freshman year living in apartments. I like when people know who I am, I like when people like me. Just not enough to give up my free rent, and good grades.

Still Nothing Too Eventful…

Today was a pretty long day. I took a test, and then I spent most of my time up in Salt Lake with a friend. You know nothing too eventful. I also filed my taxes. I love it when it says I am going to get a pretty big return. I think I know exactly what I want the return to go towards. I know it’s past midnight… so does that mean I missed a day on my blog? or does the day count from when I wake up to when I go to bed?

A little short on time

First of all I don’t have anything fun or exciting to talk about, second of all I need to study. I have my first Molecular Biology Test tomorrow. Wish me luck, tomorrow is going to be a long day. Sorry so short, maybe something eventful will happen tomorrow.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m scared

  • I have a fear of being handicapped and not having anyone tell me that I am.
  • I am afraid that I am going to be hit by someone riding a bike on campus.
  • I am afraid that I can’t do everything that I want to do.
  • I am afraid of what others think of me.
  • I am afraid of saying something stupid in front of a group of people so I stay pretty much to myself.
  • I don’t know if I am afraid of heights, but I certainly don’t like them
  • I am afraid of letting people down.
  • I am afraid to be late… if I am late to class, or church then I usually won’t go because I hate it so much.
  • I am afraid of the future.
  • High expectations scare me to death
  • Not being perfect scares me, (I know that nobody is, but I don’t want other people to know that I’m not)
  • I am afraid of losing my job. (although I secretly want to)
  • I am afraid of getting bad grades.

But fear is what drives me… because I fear failure it makes me work that much harder so that I don’t fail. I just cross my fingers that my fear is enough to make me successful. If that even makes sense.

How do they do it.

It has only been 27 days and I am out of stories for my blog. I don’t know how anybody does the whole blogging daily thing. Maybe it helps that the people that do have things to write about everyday, have a life. You know, a family, kids, something more than school and work.

Thoughts about my life: Lets see, I have two midterms this week. I had another boy introduce himself and talk to me during class. It is freezing outside. I want to learn more about computer programs. I don’t like having a 35 minute commute to work. I don’t like my hair. I like feeling smart. I am still trying to figure out what to do about work. I am sad that the person I sit next to at work is quitting soon. I am supposed to be training for that relay, but haven’t been (it’s too cold). I think Japanese is kind of fun. Flakey people drive me insane. Wow, I have a boring life…

Good Times

The other day I ran into one of my roommates from freshman year. I love that girl! She recently just got married, and I have only seen her once or twice since the wedding reception.

She’s so cute, I asked her what is new in her life and she said that she loves being a wife. She gets to clean and do laundry… you know what every good wife does. The funny thing is she is perfect for that role. I am pretty sure she was raised to be a homemaker. I am going to make a prediction, I bet she will be pregnant by the time fall semester rolls around.

I miss the days living at Wyview. Seriously, I think freshman year was one of my favorite times. I’m still young and I have plenty more times ahead of me, but I miss being a crazy, carefree, fun, freshman. Those were the days…P1010538 the three of us

Arts and Crafts

I need to get a package out to Scott sometime next week. I hate having to plan things weeks in advance so that he will get them in time. There’s Valentines day (February 14th) and Scotts Birthday (February 17th) It’s nice that I can cram two holidays into one. Sending packages to Japan isn’t very cheap, and I don’t have a lot of money. This is what I started today for his package. IMG_0037

It’s a canister that I decorated. I think it’s pretty cute… but the best part is what I am putting in it.

Little “love notes”, they are mostly just funny little stories and inside jokes, but I thought it was a cute idea…

I’m always on the look out for more ideas on what to send Scott. So if you have any ideas let me know.
