Sweet Disposition

I haven't really felt like blogging lately, and to be honest, I've been a bit busy.

I started another semester of college and we're starting our third week.

Time is the strangest thing, and I always notice it here at school. It feels like we never left, but I find myself amazed that we're on our third week. Wha??!?!

I'm really happy to be back with Kelsi and Chris this semester, and Chad is back from his mission. We one roommate from last semester (Amy), and another girl that lived next door (Dani). I'm having a really good time with them, and we all get along really well. We're all just really comfortable with each other, and it's one of the best roommate setups I've been in, which I am incredibly grateful for, because I have been in some pretty crappy situations.

I'm back in my same ward, and about half of them are new, but the vibe of the ward is the same - if not better. I love our bishopric, and our Relief Society really wants us to all get to know each other. Today we had a lesson about our worth and then we shifted to stormy seasons in our life and how we endure life's trials. I don't think there was a dry eye in the room. The Spirit was so strong and everything was wonderful. 

My classes are going well, and there are two teachers that I love, in particular. They are Brother Pyper, who teaches Church History, and Bro. d'Evegnee, who teaches the Absurdist Hero (lit class on Camus and Salinger). I love it.

Things are really great, for the most part. I had a bad day on friday because I was frustrated with a few things in my life, so I made it a self-care day and did things to take care of myself.  I went for a long walk around the city, and went to play piano for 2.5 hours. I missed out on time to spend with Chris and Kelsi, but I felt like it was important so I could get in a place where I wouldn't blow up, mentally. I'm learning more about self-care things, and I really recommend it. I felt so much better. 

So go figure out what makes you happy, and go do that when you're feeling crappy. Don't worry about your friends or family. They'll be there when you come back.

I wish I had a good picture of me with my friends, but all I have from this semester is this picture of me at the Farmer's Market. So vain, I know. Sorry about it.

We've got an exciting weekend coming up - the four of us are planning on going down for Conference next week. That means a massive amount of homework to do beforehand, but it's fine. I'm really looking forward to Conference this year!
