So its fairly late but I feel the need to write a blog. Ive been thinking about doing it for a while.. I really need to keep a journal but the written ones dont really seem to work for me so I'm hoping this will.
Just as an update for everyone and for myself later on in life when I read this, I'm currently a freshman in college.. working at a restaurant.. and trying to attend church as much as possible. On top of these, I have a wonderful boyfriend who is going to turn in his mission papers anyday now and it is EXTREMELY exciting and yet EXTREMELY sad at the same time. Daniel and I have been dating for 3 years now and he is my best friend. My previous best friend, Charlye, and I, were best friends since 4th grade. Well, we were inseperable until our senior year in high school when she up and decided she didnt want to be my friend anymore. Apparently she had gotten all that she wanted out of me and no longer had any use in a relationship with me. I have yet to really express my feelings about the whole situation and I dont think I'm going to now but perhaps in a later blog. Since then, I've been trying to attend YSA activities as much as possible and become active in my schooling so that I might find a new circle of friends and my new place in the social order of things. I have joined two clubs at school, Psi Chi (Psychology National Honors Society) and the Honors club. Yeah, I'm a big nerd, so what. The problem with the kids at school is that I want a close cirlce of friends whom I can count on and thats a bit difficult when their not members. What with the different standards and etc. I want to support and be supported, not constantly have to be an example and on my toes about teaching my friends. As for YSA at church, well everyone in my stake and the surrounding stakes all seem to have their place and it seems that their not too sure they want to let someone new into their circle of friends. With Daniel leaving in a few months, its going to be very difficult to go to school and work all week and then sit home on the weekend because I have no friends but what can I do? I'm going to continue to associate within the kingdom, I go to institute 2 nights a week and the YSA dances whenever I can. Perhaps I might consider going to a singles branch. Who knows?
As for school, I'm slacking. I find myself putting my job before school and I realize I'm setting my priorities wrong and this is something I need to work on.
I'm taking 6 classes at school and working 30-35 hours a week at the restaurant I work at. Needless to say, I'm a very busy woman. Sometimes it takes its toll but its always great to be able to spend time with Daniel and relax. He really is wonderful. Simply being in his presence puts me at ease. His warmth and demeanor are just exuberating.
Anywho, I realize I'm kind of just speaking aimlessly now.. not that I had a point to begin with. Theres much more to write and many more aspects of my life to talk about but I think that'll suffice for now. Hopefully I'll stick to this blog so I have at least some form of journal right now.

Adios.
