New Calling

I got called to see the bishop on Sunday morning and was called to be the 1st counselor in the Relief Society. At first I was really nervous and didn't know if I could really do it. But then I was reassured when I found out who the rest of the presidency was and I knew them all. So it seems like a pretty cool presidency and we all have basically the same ideas and goals for relief society. I just hope that I can keep my excitement level up to where it is now and stay on top of things and make it a successful semester- my last one!! I have a week left of school and I can't wait!! I need the break so bad and I get to go home and relax for 10 whole days :) I'm excited for next semester because there's 4 of the 6 of us staying and our apartment complex isn't filled so we aren't getting any new girls. So that'll be good because I hipe there will be less drama and more fun. My only concern is that the 4 of us are pretty segregated. It'll basically be like 2 of them on one side of the apartment and the 2 of us on the other. So I hope that doesn't make things weird. So my last semester, the way it's lining up looks like it'll be way fun and possibly (hopefully) they funnest one yet!

Update on the sobbing sitch

So I figue I shouldn't leave everyone hanging on the whole crying situation. After thinking a lot about it I decided it would be best to let the relief society pres know about it and leave it in her hands. I'm not sure if anything has happened or if things are fixed but I really hope that girl is okay. It was kind of funny lastnight some girls from that apartment came to my fhe and I wondered to myself if it was one of them. Anyways that's the update on that situation. I'll let you know if any other progressions come from it.

Sad!

So it's 3:30 in the morning and I should be sleeping, right? Well I was watching a movie and just came up to my room and as I'm laying in bed I can hear something. It sounds like talking or crying. So I got up and listened more intently and sure enough, the girl in the room next to mine in a different apartment is SOBBING! This has been going on for a good 45 minutes now and I feel so bad for her! I have no idea who it is and I wish I could do something for her, but I don't know what. The only thing I can think of is to knock on the wall and say, "are you okay in there?" But then I think that would freak the heck out of her and she'll think I'm trying to tell her to shut up. Wow seriousley she sounds so sad! This is not just regular crying people, this girl is sobbing like no other. What should I do!??

Why did I pick Sociology??

My minor is sociology and I'm taking 4 soc classes this semester. One thing....I HATE THE WAY THESE TEACHERS GRADE!! I'm so frustrated with all the times when I think I've done really good on an assignment and gave it my all just to get it back and have them tell me it's not good enough. What do these people want!?? I can't figure it out and I feel like no matter how hard I try it's never going to be enough for them. grrrrr!!! (that's me growling...)

Update

I've had a request for an update, so here we go. Not much is really going on. This week is midterms; I've taken 3 and have 1 to go. I feel like I've done pretty good on them all so far, but I know on one of them that I totally ace'd it! It's such a good feeling knowing you did really good and feel confident about it when you turn it in. As far as life in general, its rough at times, but who's life isn't rough once in a while? The roommates have been a bit of a roller coaster ride. We had a bit of a blow up lastnight but happily I feel like we were able to settle our problems in a mature way. I told them that I've been in apartments that things have gotten out of hand and things weren't solved and that I didn't want that with happen in this one. They agreed and hopefully we will be able to communicate better with each other from now on. I've made a personal goal to try not to talk about people and gossip, so hopefully I can stay on top of that. I realize that I don't want my words and my actions to counteract each other and I want people to feel they can trust me and confide in me, and that can't happen when I'm talking about people behind their backs. Oh the joys of learning, huh? haha well I have to go get my laundry before it gets stolen...lol jk! I'll write again soon hopefully!

How frustrating

So this weekend is a 3 day weekend and it's been a bit of a rough semester so far and I just really need a home break. So I was planning on going home but I knew I needed to find someone to go with because it's too far to go by myself. Well, my roomate's family just moved to Arvada so I asked her if she was going and she was! However, she and her boyfriend are going so he can "talk" to her dad, and when I asked her if I could go with them she made it completely obvious that she didn't want me to go with them. So I asked around and found that my friend Corey was going. So I was planning all week to go with him and today he bailed on me. So I went and asked my roomate again if I could ride with them because I couldn't find any other way to go and she flat out said no because it's a "big weekend". OH PLEASE!! What, is he going to propose to her in the car? NO. I just don't see how me being in the car will make any difference. Whatever. So since I can't go home, I decided that my Aunt Lisa in Las Vegas is the next best thing to my mom so I'm going there now, which will be fun. I just am so sick of having plans fall through all the time. I guess this just teaches me that I can't trust anyone and I can't rely on anyone..oh well- that's life.

School

Well, I'm fully into my semester now and things are actually going pretty good. I'm taking 18 credits this semester, which I've never been brave enough to do. But it looks like I'm going to be okay. I figured out that next semester will for sure be my last semester and then I will have my internship left and I will be graduated!! I'm so excited! But I'm a little bit scared too because I have no idea what post-college life will bring. But I am viewing it as my time to take a big adventure. Maybe I'll go somewhere exotic and work there for a while! But as for now, I'm just trying to focus on school here and now.
