FUNNY!

So in my observations today I just had to write this on my blog too! It's been a day for bloging what can I say... I love it right now ha... anyways, I decided today to look like a good looking girl with my hair and make up done... what a sad thing that it had to be a decision for me to make... and I went to the cannon center alone... sat down by myself... and a dude came and sat by me even though I was "studying".  I thought, "weird, this doesn't happen when I'm in my running clothes..." then during my women's studies class today, the dudes in there (yes there are men in my women's studies class...) actually started the conversations with me today.  I think this has something to do with the fact that I looked like a women for one of the rare occasions so far in college.  I must be better at being "pretty"... ha ha!!!

the most beautiful and amazing... Run

Yesterday I decided to bridge the gap between my summer running and my fall running so I went on the same path that I ran for my half marathon.  I must let you know that it was the prettiest run i've ever done.  The river runs right by the path and the leaves are all different colors.  It even smelled great, like autum.  It made me miss my house in sandy cuz it smells like autum leaves, but at the same time it made me grateful for my life here in provo.  I think that that run is what inspired my new blog posts... they seem to be reflective today ha ha! Enjoy the pictures... they were taken on my phone!

Sometimes...

Sometimes, you just have to take what the world gives you, and smile. If only every day could be our best day.  I'm going to make a goal to have every day in some way, at some time... be my best day. :)

So many days, but all in one

It's weird to me how much life has changed, but also how much things are the same.  I've been here at BYU for a block of classes, meaning 2 months! Weird how fast it went, but also how slow.  I thought that I would flourish in college, and so did everyone who knew me.  But as it's turned out, I'm barely hanging in here.  I thought that class would be easy because I made high school a challenge with my many AP and concurrent enrollment classes.  Sadly, I'm horrid at college in terms of the classes, and the men world. HA! I've had no success in that department, only a few friends here and there, but honestly it doesn't matter to me so much.  I'm content with where I am, and I have close friends.  I made some WONDERFUL friends here in Provo, and feel blessed that I got to live in the dorms just so I could meet these girls.  They're awesome. Living away from home was supposed to be the best thing ever, but I knew it would be hard.  Who knew how much your parents actually do for you, and do love you!  I have found that I love being on my own, but just close enough to home that it's not so hard to go back if I need to.  I like that a blog's sort of like a journal ha ha!  The biggest blessing of all has been me being on the Lacrosse team here. These girls are fastly becoming close friends, and we play a totally different game of Lax so it's AWESOME competition every day at practice.  I love it love it!  We leave for colorado on friday for a tournament and I can't wait to see college women's lacrosse. WOOT! :) Wish us luck 

Decorating!

I just got some decorations with my mom at michaels this weekend and we put them up tonight! They're so cute! I am so happy to have my appartment thing (dorm) look like home. :) 

Fall Firstlings

This is a picture of me and my roommate Maria while we were on a hike in the beautiful mountains. We were so excited that there were red leaves, and I think it's a pretty sweet picture of our faces ha ha. Welcome Fall! It's my favorite time of the year, and I hope to make this fall a memorable one. 

GOOD QUOTES

In writing a paper tonight I've stumbled across so many good quotes! 

*"To wish to be like someone else is to waste the person you are."

*"Try your best to succeed, but don't get down if you meet challenges along the way.  It really is true that we learn more from our failures than our successes, so try to look at everything as a learning opportunity."

*"You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy."

*"Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you."

THE FEMALE BRAIN!

So everyone knows how much I LOVE this class I'm taking called, Women's Studies, but mostly I'm excited about the book we're required to read called, The Female Brain by Louann Brizendine.  I just found her web-site!  I thought you might be interested in why I love it so much, so here's the address!  Please log on, men and women, so you can learn more about WOMEN! :) We're so awesome after all. ;)
