Why yes I am procrastinating writing a technical report,
funny you should ask
but with photo essays like this, how can I focus on papers and things
Oh right, I can't

2 weeks from right now(ish) I will be in Arizona!
WOOHOO!!!
I just have to get through 1 more midterm (Tomorrow) and
my Praxis test, the test which I must pass to become a teacher (Saturday)
I am almost over my cold
and by saturday night I will be ready to party
get ready for a post talking about how I am going to miss provo
and how I am going to go out in style (8 days of parties(Really only 5 but 8 sounds better))


Another song I am currently loving
for your listening pleasure
*warning: don't watch the video, you will get sick, we've got some very unsteady hands here*
Yes I first heard this on the most recent episode of Parks and Recreation (which may have made me cry a little)
If you haven't seen that show, do yourself a favor and watch it
especially the 3rd season (it's my favorite)




Sorry the quality isn't super awesome
It was the best youtube had to offer

I am LOVING this cover these days, especially since I think they overplay the original on the radio

Today is one of those days
I am doing things (going to church, spending time with friends, baking)
but nothing is quite satisfying

I have run into this talk a lot recently
and it brings peace and comfort to my soul
So many beautiful things can be taken from this talk
and I would like to share some of my favorite parts from it

"First and foremost, you are a spirit child of God. If you neglect to feed your spirit, you will reap unhappiness. Don't permit anything to detract you from this awareness."

"God knows better than you what you need. He always attempts to speak to you. Listen, and follow the uncomfortable suggestions that he makes to us--everything will fall into its place."

"Avoid at all cost any pessimistic, negative, or criticizing thoughts. If you cannot cut them out, they will do you harm. On the road toward salvation, let questions arise but never doubts. If something is wrong, God will give you clarity but never doubts."

"The pain of sacrifice lasts only one moment. It is the fear of the pain of sacrifice that makes you hesitate to do it."

Not only are there so many words of comfort in this talk, but also so many suggestions on how I can improve
I am excited at the renewed strength I feel, at the sense of purpose I receive from listening to these words

Happy Sabbath to you all!

I wish I was flying to London today
Instead I am taking these two (Owen isn't going with them) to the airport so they can fly to London


They better bring me back some galaxy chocolate

Can I be finished with school and have lots of money for travel?
Please?
