And I want these words to make things right but it's the wrongs that make the words come to life.

I spent last night at a friend's house. We hadn't seen each other in a while, so it was nice to catch up. We ate Chinese food and went to Sunflower market, which is one of my favorite stores ever.

At one point that night, we began talking about self image. It is curious, because the one thing that I am not quite sure of is whether or not guys actually care about how girls look. See, it would make sense that if girls were being conditioned to want to be thin and wear make-up and specific types of clothes, that guys would also be conditioned to look for girls who follow those "rules."

However, I have also been told that guys are mostly attracted to confidence. If this is true, it would make sense that girls who follow the "rules," would be more confidant than girls who don't because they think they are looking the way guys want them to look and that confidence attracts men so the stigma is enforced.

I guess what I am really wondering is how much does appearance affect how much a guy likes you and how much of it is the confidence in who you are?

'Cuz we belong together.

I get in a really weird mood when I listen to music that is just right for the moment. This happened today. I really want to go dance right now. Or go swing on swings or something crazy and fun. It's driving me CRAZY!

Sometimes I wonder why I am not a dancer. Then I remember that I don't actually like being told how to move to music. I do think I want to take more dance classes though. I figure if i learn how to control my body better I will have more fun dancing when I am just dancing for fun.

I realized that I will always not-so-secretly hope that I will become a famous singer. I don't think I can ever give up the fact I love to act, sing and dance. There is something so magical about the creation of something expressive. I really miss that in my life. I think I need to get more involved in something....

Anyway, not that I have written a rather scattered post. I am off to dream...

But you gotta have the faith, the faith, the faith

I hate making choices. I know it is part of the whole, agency thing but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I am at a point in my life where I have SO many choices. I don't think there was ever or will ever be a time when I will have more choices than i do now. And the problem is, they are all good things.

I guess the biggest issue is a mission. I feel like I should go but I am totally scared out of my mind. Plus other things keep coming up like a study abroad to Iceland or the possibility of staying in school. I feel like I will miss out on so many things if I decide to go. I hate making choices!

Physics, friends and a math major.

It really has been a long time since I updated this. Not much is new. I have made some new friends who I hang out with a lot. I am still totally swamped with physics homework. Actually just homework in general. I am considering doing a double major in math and physics but I have to really think about that one.

I guess the thing that has been bothering me the most lately is the fact that I am being accosted on every side for not dating. The most frustrating thing about the whole dating thing is that all of the guys in my life are telling me this. Hello, instead of telling me to date, they could ask me out!

I guess I should work on that....

Minn besti vinnur

I am trying to work on living a balanced life. This semester I am going to do all the things that I want to do. I will be proactive and stick to a schedule. We'll see how this goes but I really need to be more discipline especially since I am planning on going on a mission in august.

Besides my obvious lack of balance in my life right now, things are going well. I am super excited for most of my classes. I am already swamped with the work i have to do for my classes but I love being excited to learn.

I am so happy about my Icelandic class this semester. I think it is going to be great and I am going to learn TONS. I have already learned a lot. Plus, we just have so much fun. Well, how could we not have fun, there is three of us in the class and our teacher and we all have such a great sense of humor about the language that is trying to kick our but.

I want to update my blog more but I always get stuck on an empty blog post not knowing what exactly I should write about. Anyone have a preference?
