Welcome Fall!

I got out of class early today. Friends make such a difference in how things work out. I'm not saying I take advantage of them either. Today in math we just had a group project and out of the three of us, I did the least amount of work I'm pretty sure. Speaking of math, I took the second exam today and after I was finished, felt really good about it. I checked all of my answers and made sure they all worked out. I seriously felt like hugging myself after that exam. I thanked myself for all of the work I put into working on matrices.

Earlier this week I came down with a crappy common cold. It kinda started on Monday when I noticed I couldn't really breathe as I normally do. It got progressively worse and come Tuesday afternoon I couldn't stand it. I ended up taking a roll of TP with me to class everywhere I went. Thankfully I didn't really have to pull it out. That my friends, is flat out embarrassing. To me it might seem like your peers are annoyed as is your professor but maybe that isn't the case. I'd be sitting in class and want to get up and leave b/c I felt sleepy and congested. Not fun. So I ended up calling in sick Tuesday night for work. The night spent at home was long and boring. The hours felt like days as they ticked by. I slept a little but mostly I was just bored and hurt all over. No I didn't want to do my homework.

As for my friends serving missions... They're all doing well. Least that's what I feel like when I read their emails. The language is challenging, which is no surprise. The things they have to say about Chile, Argentina and the Phillipenes is just nuts. Mostly Chumpy has to deal with man-sized spiders that will eat you. The other two don't necessarily have bug problems (at least I think) but they have their own share of challenges. All in all, I'm proud and happy for them. As always, I miss them. I'm glad I get to talk to them at all though! Thank you modern technology.

Yesterday Kenzie and me went up the mountain a little ways to look at leaves. Pretty! I'll just let my pictures speak for themselves.

Um, things are pretty good. I am just balancing my life out and trying not to sleep too much. Haha. It's amazing how much a college student can (and does) sleep while they go to school! Mostly I feel mildly depressed because of how broke I am all the time. I feel like I can't buy anything I want to. I have to make ends meet first and then the rest of it goes to things I actually need, like gas for the car. Eh, I don't need anything. I know that God provides with a surety.

Oh, I watched Brave for the first time yesterday. And, I liked it! Very cute. Yes I did cry a little bit towards the end. I'm kind of cinamatically deprived. (Is that a word)? That creates a few startled reactions. I have a lot of friends who come from movie families and they've really helped me out. :)
