Well, I decided to start blogging again. 

I'm not entirely sure why but here we go.

I think it would be a lot easier to start blogging about my life now and what's happened this last week rather than trying to update you on what's happened since my last entry. 

Cuz let's face it... that would take forever!

Classes went really well this week. 

As crazy as it sounds, I'm actually enjoying them.

Last semester I had a really hard time focusing and to be honest, I've had a hard time focusing this semester as well.

But the more I do my homework the more I realize I still love learning, I just need a little push every now and then.

I just applied for fast grad which means I'd be staying here at school for fall semester, as well as winter and spring semester too. I won't know for a few weeks whether or not I got in but I feel that for whatever reason, I'm supposed to stay here for fall semester. So I'm praying that I get into the program. 

My friend Kaitlin and I hung out this week which was really fun! We went on a double date to a volleyball game and can I just say how much I LOVE sporting events? 

Seriously though.

Everything with roommates is going great as well.

Christa always keeps me laughing and is such a great friend! We do pretty much everything together and I'm definitely blessed that she's my roommate this semester!

Jaqui is such a great example and we've had a few really deep conversations this past week that have in turn been answers to many, many prayers. 

Brittney is so giving and has been so willing to go places with me, cook me dinner (Christa cooks for  me a lot too), and has let me borrow some movies!

Something really sad that happened this past week is that one of our fish died! :( It was the white one and I'm actually pretty sad about it...

I've been amazed at how much Heavenly Father loves and trusts me lately.I've had quite a few great spiritual experiences this week and I'm truly grateful for them.

I've been kind of homesick lately. I miss Cocoa and my family a lot. On the plus side, I've been able to talk to quite a bit of my family and my best friend from home Kira called me! 

Can I just say how much I love talking to Kira? It's so comforting to talk to someone back home who gets and understands me as well as she does. The crazy thing is that I thought when she got married everything would change, and things have but not in a bad way at all. We're still super close and still know pretty much everything that's going on in each others lives. I just love it :)

I've noticed this past week that I've changed a lot in the past month. Although I still have my down moments where I feel inadequate, and my self esteem struggles, I'm a pretty happy person. I don't really care about what I look like lately. For example, I'd rather wear my long basketball shorts (They're actually Austin's, (my brother) but he gave me quite a few pairs that he doesn't wear anymore), a hoodie, my adidas flip flops, and have my hair in a pony tail, with just a little make up. 

Weird right?

I just love who I am right now and refuse to change for anyone. One of my guy friends actually called me a "tom boy" yesterday. And I just laughed :)

Well... until next week...

I love my life :)
