Progression

It has been a couple of weeks since I have posted and what an eventful few weeks it has been. My life is definitely changing but that is a good thing. Within the past few weeks, I got to return to my home to see my family over Thanksgiving. I love my family, they mean the world to me and I am thankful for all of the support that they give me. While at home, I was able to learn a few things about my self from my family, my friends (via text), and through the scriptures. the thanksgiving holiday really helped me remember those things that I am taking for granted and what I need to do to ensure that I don't do that again. Upon reuniting with all of my friends back at school, I was overcome with gratitude for all of the things that they have done for me. That lasted for a few days and along with a couple of visits to the temple, I became aware of many blessings that God has given me. My spirits are high. My spirituality is high and I know that it is because the Lord cares about me. I am looking to create new habits that will help me to progress even more. I still have a long way to go and the Lord know that and I know that he is there to help me every step of the way. The beauty of the gospel is that even when you feel like you are alone, the Lord is with you helping you and comforting you every step of the way. Again I am very grateful for my family and friends and for everything that they do 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 ...
