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?

The time has come the walrus said....

I suppose I should update. It's been a while. I have a hard time knowing what to update on my blog but I felt I needed to update anyway. I considered writing about this blog I found today that has got me thinking quite a bit. However, I don't think I want to write about that today.

I have been thinking recently about all the things I want to do well. I have discovered that this is a rather long list. It makes me sad that I don't feel like I am making a lot of progress. I have so many high hopes for my self but I am just not motivated to get anything done. It is really frustrating.

So, goal for the rest of my life. Nicole, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!
