New Semester! Spring 2014.

Yeeesh. wow. Hello! It's now February 7th?

January really passed me by this time around. I got back in school and I've had a lot of stress. More than I was used to.

Alright, so I started a new semester. And so far I've been struggling a bit to keep up with everything. Currently I have 14 credits, and that's with an institute class. I'm slaving away through Math 1050, Gen Biology (1610) and Sports Nutrition. I do like all of my classes, but then again there's not much I don't like. Minus political science. (I've never seen people fight so much in my entire life).

Lately I've been feeling more alone than I usually do. I will first say that I'm perfectly fine with that. What I really mean is that my social life is consequently suffering because I just do not have time for that. Going back to the triangle of pick two between good grades, enough sleep, and social life, I'm picking a and b.

Welcome to College!

Another thing I wanna be completely honest about is I would much rather spend my time taking care of myself and my jobs than be in a social situation where all I'd rather do is go home. I do like hanging out of course, however I hate being in a group where you're at the mercy of others' decisions. Like when the hangout session is over because you all rode in a car together and you consequently didn't get home til 2am. Not okay. It also makes a difference if I want to be there.

So like I was sayin, the semester has been a little more difficult than I'm used to it being. I think half my problem is I seriously have no time to study b/c of a number of things. I'm sure I'd do better if I didn't have a job and all I did was study. But I gotta pay for school somehow! And I'm also learning tons of information at a very fast pace. I'm trying to learn these things at my comfortable pace.

Through all of my struggling, I've found a lot of blessings. First off, I know for an absolute surety that God our Father watches out for us. With my mom having that little scare in Hawaii this last month, I've had a lot of support-some I didn't know existed. I had my testimony strengthened knowing that some people I didn't think believed in Him surprised me when they prayed to Him through our little crisis. While my mom and dad were away for two weeks, I picked up a lot of responsibilities. Thank goodness for family. My dad's mom really watched out for us with grocery shopping and dinners. S/O to burr Bieda too. :) Then a couple of little things that mean a million things to college students:

1. A full tank of gas-FOR FREE.
2. Free meals, and good ones at that.
3. Someone that's just there for you.

(I also want to mention that I've never been so excited to get ink in my entire life. For my printer.)

It's been a test of faith and endurance through January and continuing through this month. I'm really starting to hope that college won't be a waste of all my hard work. I don't think it will though. I'm really hoping I can land a job that I'm EXCITED to go to everyday. Please.

OH! AAAAAAAAAAAND today is February 7th, which marks today as the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles very first appearance to America!!!!!!!!!! It's been fifty years since their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, where 45% of America was watching on TV. They changed rock and roll forever. They're the greatest. It's neat to me how both of my grandmas actually watched the original airing. Holy crap!!! Haha and Beatlemania makes me laugh out loud. But who can blame those crazy fan girls?

Yeeeeeee.
