I am going to write about it in my journal

So, yesterday was kind of crappy. The best part was when I came out of my room to get something to eat, my roommate made delicious cookies (we both had a hard time making good chocolate chip cookies at high altitude, but she finally found a good recipe) Then we sat there and talked and then my roommate got her guitar out and started playing random songs. We went through my whole guitar book and then we stared looking up songs on the internet. We found Mika's Grace Kelly and Vitamin C's Graduation. We jammed out until about 1 in the morning. It was awesome. There is nothing like randomness to make you happy.


Also, it seems that everything is working itself out. Who-hoo!

She was so young with such innocent eyes

Today was kind of crappy. I found out that I might not get to live with my friends because of stupid stuff. I also haven't finished declaring my major because BYU can't get it's act together. None of my friends are responding to me. I just want to cry. A lot.

Why can't life just work out. I guess that is a dumb question since most of the time my life does work out. I am really just tired of all the stuff I have hanging over my head. I just don't want to think about it anymore.

I did poorly on two tests today, but Icelandic was fun...

Hmmm, how often do you hear that sentence. I guessing pretty infrequently. I am pretty psyched because life is going well. Okay, I feel like life is great. My grades won't tell you the same. They will tell you that I have slacked off all semester and now I am trying to get back up to speed and it is not working well. Yeah, story of my life.

So, I like feeling good, and that is how I feel. I don't know if it is because I am looking forward to the future or if it is because I am satisfied with where I am and what I am doing. Actually, I just realized why I am so happy.

IT'S SPRING!!!! THE BEST TIME EVER!!!!!!

yeah, I guess I am a little excited ;) Oh, and my cuz comes home from his mission tomorrow morning from his mission!!!! We will go to the same school for the first time in my life, that is crazy.

Man, I have so many things to be grateful for. I am healthy. I am talking to people that I haven't talked to in a long time. And I just love life. Why shouldn't I?

Chili con carne

So, today I was looking at old pictures, and I found some of my choirs in high school. I realized that ever since I have been at BYU I have not been singing, and that makes me sad. I miss all the friends that I had from choir and all the fun things we did together. The same goes for acting.

I think I have been hurt too bad in both of these disciplines, and I am afraid to keep pouring my heart and soul into something that may hurt me again. I know it is important to take risks and getting hurt is simply part of the process, but it just hurts so much.

I need to get back into music because that is were I truly fly.

Afi minn og Amma mín

My life is so good. I usually am happy, and I usually choose to have a optimistic outlook on life. At the end of January, however, I was having a hard time. A lot of it came from the fact that I didn't have direction in my life. The major I was sitting in I was not excited about. I also wasn't very happy with my social life and the weather was terrible.

Now, I have changed my major to something I like and I am having fun doing the things I like. I had a crazy full weekend. I got home on thursday and finnished watching Pride and Prejudice. I then talked with my roommates and the guy one of my roommates is dating.

Saturday I got up and got ready to play racquetball with one of my friends. Then two of my roommates and my friend and I went to lunch at Applebee's. Then I went home and did some homework and took a shower. Then I got ready to go to the Icelandic festival. My roommate and I went to the icelandic festival which was so fun. We had a plate of traditional food like pickled lamb parts, flat bread, liver sausage, smoked lamb, and dried fish. It was mostly gross.


Then they came around and handed out fermented shark. I didn't try any but some of the kids in my icelandic class did. They said it didn't taste bad at first, but it had a terrible after taste. We were then given food that was much more normal. We had bread, potatoes, sweeten rutabaga, cabbage, lamb, and fish. It was really good.

They had a kids choir, some award presentation, and then group singing. They also had lots of displays and a raffle. My roommate and one of the other kids in my class won prizes. We had so much fun.

After the festival, I went with my roommate to the apartment of the guy she is dating. We watched dumb YouTube videos and then we started watching Nacho Libre. I am going to say right now that I think that movie is stupid, but I respect the fact that others may like it.

I also have been making new friends lately. Friends are fun! I can't be having a better time with life right now. YAY ME!

The Longest Time

So, this weekend was so fun. Today I woke up and played racquetball with my friend. Then my friend, my two roommates and I all went out to lunch. I then went home and got a ready for the Icelandic festival that I went to. It was lots of fun. My roommate and I then went over to these guy's apartment. I really like being social. It really make me feel good.

Anyway, Goodnight!

One Day More: Another Day, Another Desiny

Exciting news on the major front (wow, I didn't even mean to do that.) I decided on a major that I am really excited about. Drum roll please...

Applied Physics with an Acoustic emphasis.

Doesn't that sound like so much fun? I think it does, and I am really the only person that matters in this respect. I am so excited because I get to start really fun classes.

Anywhoo, I watched the end of Pride and Prejudice tonight, and I forgot how giddy Mr. Darcy makes me. Apparently I have totally messed up my chances of ever having a normal love life because I watch far too many romances. Oh, well! At least I enjoy the movies I watch.

I am really excited because tomorrow I am playing racquetball. It should be lots of fun.

Until I write again; Cheerio!
