Uh Oh

It's about that time folks...

Finals are here, and I was surprisingly not that stressed about it.

Until about 8 minutes ago when I was writing out my schedule of homework, exams, and papers due.

Then it hit like a sudden bullet in the stomach. I'm feeling serious anxiety.

Maybe because I have to write a paper due Thursday about why Michelangelo sculpted the statue of David

the way he did and how it relates to the biblical story of David & Goliath. 

Oh, and I have to throw in some random facts about how it relates to renaissance art too...

Anddd all the facts have to come from my textbook for that class. 

The one where I read the same sentence so many times and I couldn't even tell you what I just read.

And it might be that I have 5 exams to study for and I'm probably the worst test-taker of all time.

Maybe I'm stressed because I have recently become the world's lightest sleeper and the sound of my own

breathing seems to wake me up lately. So, I don't sleep well these days.

Living in the "middle" apartment doesn't help much. 

Maybe it's because I haven't gone grocery shopping in weeks because I'm trying to save $ for Christmas.

Don't worry- I'm still eating. I could never give up food, I love it too much.

Maybe it's because I've been spoiled with having some of my family here for a week and loved it so much

that now I can't concentrate and I have a serious case of homesickness.

It's funny, 30 minutes ago I was getting sleepy. Now I'm wired and I feel like my heart is beating 

out of my chest at 100 mph. I think I'm having a slight anxiety attack. 

I've never had one before but I'm pretty sure it's happening right now.

Well, now that I'm wired, shaky, and feel like my heart is going to explode, I might as well

get started on that wonderful paper. 

Honestly, probably doesn't matter if I spent a million hours on it because my T.A. for that class grades it.

And she's mean, rude, and a ridiculous grader. I mean that. Plus- I don't think she likes me.

Can you tell I'm holding a slight grudge? Yeah, I won't try to hide that one.

She ain't my favorite person.

Cheers to finals! Hopefully I make it out alive.

His Plan

Isn't it amazing how you think you have your life planned out &

 then something can change it so quickly?

I find Heavenly Father's sense of humor sometimes a little confusing, but hey, I can't complain.

Sometimes it's so difficult to remember that it's going to work out how he plans.

And  that is meant for every aspect in life.

If you are living your life the way that you know you should be, and you're truly happy,

his plan is going to fall into place. Right before your eyes.

And one day you'll suddenly realize that everything you've worked for or suffered through

was meant to take you exactly to where you are right now.

Maybe you don't have your entire life planned out, but everyone has at least some knowledge

of where they would like to be in the near future.

I do.

But sometimes God has a different plan...

Sagey Girl's #2!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAGEY GIRL!!

No words can express how much I miss seeing your little face all the time.

One day, I'll live close enough to watch you grow up and shower you with

hugs and kisses all the time- yeah I'll be the smothering aunt!

I love you Sage. Happy #2!

Halloweenie '12

So this Halloween, I decided to go with the all-time classic Marilyn Monroe.

I looked up a tutorial on how to do her make-up, and I even shaded my nose to make it 

look more pointy, like hers.

I felt quite accomplished with the make-up. Too bad you can't see it that well in the pictures.

Madison was a really, really geeky nerd. He played his part too well.

 This picture has horrible lighting, but I had to put it up just for me Uncle Sam. 

He was the best hill-billy I've ever met and he never once went out of character.

 

We decided to go dancing at the street party at Guru's restaurant, which was actually pretty fun.

Anyway, here's to next year now!

Now it's the real holiday season and I'm. so. excited.
