Late nights

I have no idea why, but when break starts I just stay up way too late. Like right now, I am writing a blog post when I should be in bed. I stayed up until four in the morning one morning because I can. What am I doing? Nothing.

But on the side note, I am waiting for my brother to edit my letter of intent and then I submit my application. I was so tempted to just submit my application tonight. I was talking to my teacher I ta for today on the phone and she was asking me about graduate school applications. She said she wrote me a strong letter of recommendation. I want to get in. So bad. Yet, I don't want to get in. But, I am so excited that fall semester is done and my application will soon be admitted. I am glad that I started my application early. Advice for all you individuals applying for graduate schools...start your application easy. It will make your life so much easier.

So, that's all. Also, I have a question. There is a boy in my ward who I find very annoying. Normally, I can get along with nearly everyone. This boy is very unique that I don't get along with him. I just struggle to have a normal conversation. There was a movie night at his apartment and I was there for 15 minutes waiting for other people to show up. He was on facebook just ignoring me. Then other people start showing up and then he starts showing off the videos he produces for BYU and starts talking about all the famous people he knows. I was appalled by this behavior. I try not to rude and to have good thoughts about others. I couldn't have good thoughts about this young man tonight so I left his apartment because I couldn't be near him and be positive at the same time.

Does this mean that I am a rude person? Am I prideful? I am trying to be kind and understand him. I can't. It seems nearly impossible for me to understand this person and have a conversation with him. I truly believe that there are some people we may not be able to get along with in some ways. I can stay in the room with this individual most days and be civil. We don't have outright fights. We just don't enjoy our time together. What are your thoughts?

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Learning to Let Go

Yes, that is my lesson that I have been learning the last couple of months. Update on my life: I postponed my mission. I feel really good about my decision. I was planning on leaving to the MTC on July 31st. The best way to explain my decision is that life changes and curve balls are thrown at you. It was a very confusing time of my life as I was deciding whether or not to postpone my mission, but I made sure that I was making the right decision. I want to go back to school and continue my "career" or pathway to a career. I want to be a social worker and feel like I can serve God with my career. So, I am staying home. I have a testimony of the church and I respect all the missionaires serving right now. If I was 19, I would have a different outlook as a missionary. At this time, I feel like I should be spending my time in other areas of my life. And it is important to realize that sisters are not commanded to serve a full time mission. Member missionary work is important ...

Recent Changes

So, I haven't written in here for a long time. I thought I might write about recent events in my life. My winter break was fantastic and really long. I am not used to having a month long break so I didn't know what to do with myself. The first part of my break, right after finals, I spent way too much time watching Netflix. I would just lay there in my pajamas and enjoy doing nothing. When you are really busy, it is nice to do nothing at some point. After getting bored of doing nothing, my brother came home for Christmas time. We had lots of family time just talking, playing games and catching up. I experienced one of the most beautiful days in San Francisco. We went hiking in Marine County and looked over all the bay. It was absolutely stunning and brought a lot of new perspective. I love being outdoors because the perspective from nature reminds me of God's love for us. I had a friend from BYU visit for New Years Eve week. I have told her all about my hometown and ...
