Life as Normal?

I survived finals!!! Not only did I survive but I also succeeded. None of the grades dropped and one went up a little bit. That means that I end with 3 A's and 2 A-'s. 3.875 GPA. I love it. Right after finals got over with, the apartment was cleaned out and everybody started leaving their separate ways to go home. It was a very surreal time. I finally left and began what is going to be my life for the next four months. Yep, I don't go back until April. So now I work. That's basically all I do. It is a big change to go from a place that has all of your friends and something to do every night to a place where nothing is really happening. That is kinda my fault because I don't really want to do much. What I really want is to be with my friends again. I miss them all so much but I am glad that they are all happy and with their families. Hey, and I get to be with my family too. That's a good thing. We had a lot of fun over Christmas and it was great to get everyone together again for the first time in a couple years. I guess now I don't really know how I am going to fill all of the time that I have when I am not working. I am very grateful that God led me to BYU-I this last semester. It has been the greatest time of my life. I am also grateful to all those who have made it that way for me.

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
