What I've Been Up To...

  • Classes and Homework...obviously!
  • Racking up the points in bowling class! Ok, not really but I am improving. I scored over 100 twice in a row! YAY!
  • Read 3 Jane Austen Novels and I'm in the middle of my fourth for my Jane Austen class
  • Crossword Puzzles, Baylee gets the daily newspaper and it comes with a crossword. I'm not very good but someday I will be able to fill one out without looking up the answers online!
  • Meeting with my counselor to get my internship at EIRMC underway
  • Getting my blood drawn and a TB test for my internship
  • Getting to know the girls in my relief society and making new friends!
  • Partying with my roommates
  • freaking out about my life
  • watching my roommates plan a wedding and everyday the idea of getting married by Elvis in a little chapel is looking better and better ;)
  • Missing my family
  • reading through my student orientation and safety manual for my internship
  • hanging out at the library on a Saturday! And other days of the week
  • Rejoicing that it's been a mild winter
  • preparing relief society lessons
  • Attending a Relief Society conference and leadership meeting with Julie B. Beck. Who is now my HERO and I hugged her.
Basically I've been pretty busy!!! But it's good. I can't believe that I'm graduating soon and I still can't believe I got an internship at EIRMC. It is really so amazing! The other day I was listening to one of my new favorite songs called "Sweet Serendipity" by Lee Dewyze (which is on my playlist..). And the song is sooo my life right now!!! The chorus is:

And I'm doing just fine
I'm always landing on my feet,
In the nick of time,
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause' the worst ain't happened yet
Something's watching over me like
Sweet Serendipity

Now I do realize that things aren't happening in my life due to serendipity. And I am indeed grateful for that! There is a line later in the song that says "I don't want to hold on I want the strength to let go" And that line applies so much to my life right now. I am working on letting go of my need to know EXACTLY what is going to happen in my life. It's not very easy, but then when is life ever going to be easy? So I may be busy but I LOVE life!!! I'm pretty sure the best part of my life is about to begin!
