A thought for you...

I thought this was a really nice thought for the day. Sometimes attitude absolutely is everything. That said, I have to go prepare for a big test on Thursday. :) I love my life!!! (for real, that was not sarcasm)

6 More Weeks of Winter...I mean School...same thing

So I picked up a couple extra shifts this week which tonight has me working in the Family Life building. This equals Alyssa alone in a computer lab being paid to do her homework and surf the web. Excellent!

The WAC Tournament was soo much fun! Although there is next to nothing to do in Reno, NV if you don't gamble, drink, or slut yourself, I knew a lot more people going this year, so my friends and I found plenty to do. I will definitely post pictures next time, but since I'm not on my own computer I don't exactly have access to them right now. The Aggies did well. We didn't win the championship unfortunately but because of our awesome season we still got a bid to the NCAA tournament. We played the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday and unfortunately lost to them too, although we were actually the favorite to win that game. Sad way to end the season, but what a great season it was!!! Now seven months til the end of October... :)

So after Reno, the rest of Spring Break consisted of a lot of laziness! Sleeping in, watching March Madness, watching the whole season of Glee and basically nothing else. It was awesome and just the break I needed right before jumping back into school for the crazy final six weeks of the semester. I can't believe how busy I've already been and it's only been two days back! But it's a good kind of busy and I'm trying to enjoy it and not let it stress me out. So far, so good!

Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment to fill two cavities. I'm really disappointed and a little scared. This is the only the second time in my life I've had cavities and the first time in my adult teeth. At least now they have those white filling and not the thug silver ones anymore. The shot's the worst part so I figure if I can put on a brave face during that part, I can pull off the whole appointment. But the truth is, I'm scared and I'll feel like crying. Don't tell anyone.

I've been trying to have a regular scripture pattern lately, so I try and read at least a chapter a night before I go to bed. Right now I'm in 3 Nephi, which is my favorite book! It's because this is when Jesus comes to the Americas after his Resurrection and teaches them and blesses them and gives them a new law. I love it! I always see a big difference in my life when I'm reading the Book of Mormon regularly and it's not different now. Things seem to work themselves out and I get the help that I need. I also have found myself more receptive to those around me who need help, even if it's just someone to talk to. It's really such a blessing.
I love this Gospel!

That's all for now, folks! Peace and Love!

Just one of those weeks I guess

I have had a super crummy week. Yes, there have been some fun and happy moments but for the most part, I have not been very happy. I am a person that gets stressed easily to begin with but when things start building up, I try to handle it and just can't. This last week I have been super stressed over planning all the stuff for Reno and trying to figure out how to rent a car, the best way to do it, etc. After a week and a half of worrying about that, Des's parents decided to let us take their car after all, which is a huge relief. I'm just praying nothing happens now to validate their original answer. School has been alright but honestly, Reno, money, planning, problems with friends, and I'm sure some other nit picky things were taking up my priorities and I'm pretty sure I bombed a test this morning. I'm not even exaggerating or being dramatic. I wouldn't be surprised if I literally failed this test. I am soo upset and that stressed me out even more. I could just cry. Again. I have cried like three times this week. What a horrible, stressful week! I am just done with everything! I don't want to go to school, I don't want to go to work, I just want to sleep. and run. But thankfully, I am leaving for Reno and the WAC tournament tomorrow which will then be followed by Spring Break next week. This vacation and then the break are soooo needed right now it's not even funny. I am just so excited to go have fun with my friends the next few days and then come back and have very little to do. It's going to be so great! I really need to just be able to let everything go and start new. Well, obviously not completely new. There are still consequences to this last week. But I can continue forward and make do with what I have.

Tonight I have a lot to do! I have to pack for Reno (since I won't have time tomorrow before we need to leave), run a bunch of errands, mail my sister's birthday present (why is she turning 15 already?! yikes!!!), and other things before I have to go to a performance for my Art Symposium class. It's a crazy week. I just want to be in Reno, playing. Soon enough! Well, I feel better after that little rant. Things will get better. I am really looking forward to this break!

Also, AGGIES ARE THE REGULAR SEASON WAC CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On to take the Tournament! Woot! Woot! :)

One Down, One to Go

Yup, we pretty much smashed the Fresno State Bulldogs last night. We got everyone off the bench to play, which was super exciting and we won at least a piece of the WAC Championship (but of course when we beat New Mexico St. on Saturday, we'll win it outright). Here's a couple pictures from last night!

My Tia Angenette came for a game! This is us looking super cute!

Andrew finally fulfilled his promise and gave us the pizza frisbee. Free pizza at half time? Awesome! (Laura, me, Desiree)

Tyler Newbold and Tai Wesley played their 100th game as Aggies last night! This is Kjerstin, Kristin, and Jennie showing their love. (Sorry I accidentally cut off the bottom of the poster.)

Just one more game to go for the regular season!
GO UTAH STATE AGGIES!!!
