POST!

So... tired... post... tomorrow!!!

Love ya'll

Imma be a doctor! Maybe not...

Hello to all my dedicated readers! It's been quite a week, weekend, and night. All week I've just been trying to grasp and fully understand the concept of proofs pertaining to trigonometric identities; this is not so fun. I have no idea why we are required to prove these theories. I feel as if this should be left up to math majors, and people who do math problems as a hobby. I have actually REALLY enjoyed trig this semester, like to a creepy level of liking math. BUT this chapter could just go die and I don't think many people would miss it. This weekend was just weird in the sense of the activities that were done. Nothing bad or anything of course, but it was as if my friends and I did everything, while doing nothing! Ever happened to anyone before? Also it was conference, so many hours were spent learning, remembering, and planning. Tonight consisted of constant studying. And the weird thing is that I enjoyed it. :/ What am I becoming??

Haha sometimes I feel as if Casey and I copy one another. Although I know most ideas are original, we always seem to be thinking and planning for the same things. Literally the same time I was discussing changing my major and future plans with friends and family, Casey was doing the same. We both thrive and excel in our political science class, and I've been giving a great deal of my thinking time to a major in political science. What would my career aspirations be with a degree in political science? What could my emphasis be in? Would I enjoy it as much or as more as a career in medicine? So much to consider! In high school many students turn to one teacher for advice, or even just to talk to... Ms. Mary Moulton. I did just that! Because of her degree in political science, and the fact that she introduced the subject to me in my first American government course, I decided to confront her about her feelings of me pursuing a degree in political science. Hopefully we are on the same page here.

Several ideas: law school? International studies? Business?

Previously I had contemplated a career requiring law school, so why not think it over again? I have always fancied a career requiring graduate school because... because. I really don't know why, besides more knowledge and greater earnings.

I love traveling and spending time in other cultures; what greater way to do so than a career in international affairs or relations?

Business has somewhat been a forte and an interest for me. I always enjoyed my participation in DECA and FBLA. There are various careers in the business field requiring a political science degree.

There is so much to think about, and I truly enjoy all of these so why not second guess myself? I mean just because I feel I would love the medical field because I liked drawing blood doesn't mean I should wager the next 15 years of my life; along with $300,000 of debt. Honestly, that is so much money. And yes financially medicine would be worth it, but after my mission I could receive an undergraduate degree in two years and even pursue graduate school, and complete my schooling in 2-6 years with a degree in something I love, and feel as if I could thrive in. If I pursue medicine, life would be hard trying to fulfill service, leadership, and shadowing hours while earning good grades. And a job will be a REQUIREMENT for me as a student in an expensive urban city like Salt Lake. Kill me now. Don't get me wrong I still would love a career in the medical field, I am just realizing I love other things just as much.

Well friends I must now return to studying before going to sleep...

Night Night

PS. Let me know what you think about a political science major, and a career you could see me doing. Also about med school and which you think is more me. OH! Also there is another option for me, I can pursue med school with a degree of anything as long as I do the prerequisites. SO I COULD do a political science major and still do med school. Just a thought!

Life at the Cottage

So, I live in Juliets cottage. AKA "the cottage." Casey and I are downstairs, and Stormi and Hannah are upstairs. We never talked... like hardly ever last semester. This semester, like recently we're just best friends. It's so much fun! It's like we have a larger apartment now! Plus, more friends always here. Great times! Margaritas at 3 in the AM, warhead otter pops, and plenty of laughs. The rest of this semester will be epic.

Peace and blessins

Week Going Quickly

It seems as if yesterday I was driving home from Vernal; that was four days ago... Time seems to be going very quickly these days. I never have time for anything. It's one of those days where I could really use a three wishes. For today I would wish for time, completed mission papers, and to spend more time with my sisters and family.

Today my friend Sara McQuivey came to Cedar to visit! YAY! We will have a blast tomorrow going to St. George. I am going to attempt to sell my plasma again. Since my weight loss my veins have improved a lot; hopefully enough for an extra $200 a month... I also need some flip flops, and a belt. And we're treating Sara to Nielson's Frozen Custard for her birthday, which was on Saturday. WE MISSED IT! But, I have zero access to Facebook for the moment and get no reminders.

I'm missing the festival of colors this weekend. BOO! I was really excited to go, but I'd rather save the money to driving all the way to Salt Lake and back within 24 hours just to get chalk thrown on me; although it sounds like a blast.

I should get some sleep.

Night

Spring Break

SO, this spring break started great, dragged in the middle, and is now ending great. At first I was really upset because I really wanted to go to Cali for a couple days. I didn't want to be one of those losers that just went home for their week off school; well I guess I'm a loser. Money reasons and such I just decided to go home.

The Friday I got home was GREAT. I had one of the best nights with my sister, and had an original night with the gang, minus Amber and Casey; AKA Ali, Melinda, William, and me. It was great. Then Saturday I just spent Ali. HA I just realized I talked about this earlier. WELL the first weekend was great.

From about Monday to Thursday, I did practically nothing. I slept in until about 11 every day, and sometimes exercised. Some days I had lunch with friends, others I didn't. I've done something every night, but I have to or else I go insane. I wish I had spent more time doing homework, because now I have too much to do, with so little time and so much happening for the rest of the break. But isn't time the wish of wishes? Anyway I did do SOME homework today, but mostly I just realized the people I missed the most. I had a great time with Melinda, William, Jade, and Casey doing practically nothing simultaneously doing everything; great night.

I've received great realizations this week. Number one, not falling to Satan in these last days means being closer to the Lord, more than ever. Number two, family is most important. Number three, who my true friends are, and always will be. Number four, my desire to serve a mission and its importance. Number five, what the future might/will hold. Number six, the importance of prayer. Number seven, twitter mobile is a jolly good time. Number eight, dating should be a fun thing.

I think this might be a new habit of mine! I've learned a lot more this week than I had thought. Anyway, all of these things are really important and of course I've thought about them before, but I have received SPECIAL realizations for all of these inspiring thoughts that made them sort of obtrusive to my laziness this week. My one thought is that I've been so bad at blogging in the past, I wonder if anyone is reading my posts? I don't think so :D Oh well! Great start to a journal. I prefer typing anyway.

Search, Ponder, and Pray. Night

Surprise of El Pantolones

Well something amazing happened when I woke up Saturday. I just peeked in my old closet just for fun, and found about 7 pairs of pants that fit me!! Because of my weight loss, my current jeans tend to... well fall off my butt, literally; I can't keep them on. So I was upset because I'd have to spend my forthcoming tax refund money on new clothes that actually fit. I was so glad I found all of these! It was like Christmas, but several months early.

They're all American Eagle jeans so I love them, and probably very close to what I'd be buying anyway! Plus, they look great :) SO, if anyone loses weight, look in the back of your closet; I'm sure there'll be a lil surprise for you.

Luck for all

Experiencing the Love of Reading

I love reading. I love finding those books that you just can't put down. I would choose that feeling any day over the TV. I really need some input on some good books to read. I was given Leven Thumps to me several years ago as an Easter present from my parents, and I loved the book. I then received the next two books of the trilogy several years later. Of course I needed to re-read the first book. Well that didn't work out too well. I re-started the Harry Potter series, and Leven Thumps sorta got pushed aside... BUT I've decided to hold off Harry Potter until after school is over. So I'm thinking of reading those books :) BUT after those, what next? It's up to you. Please let me know of some awesome books. I'm into anything. OOO I've also considered starting the Hunger Games trilogy, thoughts? Let me know!

Rat out.
