How do people do it?

Sometimes I wonder how people keep everything under the radar... how they can seem (or maybe even just are) so perfect all the time. It seems they never get mad or frustrated with anything.

Right now is finals time, and I HATE when the time that I've set aside for studying or what not gets disrupted.

Tonight, my favorite show on television had its very last episode ever... It makes me sad because it ended horribly with Betty not ending up with a guy at all, moving away from her family, the two gay guys still being gay, the mean lady getting the business and her man, and so many other things ended "wrong" that I just was not happy with it. But even more then that, while trying to relish in the last few moments I had with my show, 4 people came in (uninvited) and chatted up a storm. It made me upset... obviously. I just wonder, if my generation is this inconsiderate, what are my children going to be like?

I am stressed. I know it. I have to figure out a lot of things, and secretly my heart is breaking a little bit each time I don't get mail, I hear about another friend of mine who is happily engaged (or soon to be), each time I hear that a family member is sad, each time I fear the future, each time I find out that grades are not as I thought they were going to be etc. This time of life is just really hard sometimes.

I'm so grateful for the gospel and the things it teaches. Because of my hard night tonight I read my favorite scripture passages, D&C 121-123 and they game me comfort and strength. If Joseph, Job, and especially Christ suffered through ALL that stuff, my stuff is nothing at all. Really in the scope of things, my turn on earth is really just an hour or so... but shoot, what a tough hour sometimes. O well. Tomorrow is another day.

P.S. I have a bunch of stuff to blog about and catch up on, and I started to do that last night and have been saving it all day, but one of those uninvited guests of ours got on my computer and exited out of my screen so I'll try again later.

I feel like when everything can go wrong, it happens all at once. And when everything can go right, it happens all at once.
Why can't it be evenly spread out? Hmph...I guess that's the real challenge right there is maintaing composure. You're doing a great job! We all love you!
