What a Life I'm Living!

Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrows keep you Human, Failures keep you Humble, Success keeps you Glowing,
But Only God keeps you Going

Life's been really great! Despite all my everyday challenges in school, work, relationships, etc. It has been a very fun life I've been living! How grateful that i can come up here in Idaho and learn to develop my talents so that i can create inspiring work and learn from the masters. How grateful i am to have a wonderful family that i can call and get joy from simply hearing their voices. I am glad to know that when I'm struggling with drama and/or other social issues i can call my brother and seek his counsel and advice.



I am so happy, as weird as this sounds for all the opportunities i have to fail at a project. Very rarely will i succeed the first time without the honest critic of my professors and fellow students. It is very true the saying that you learn more from your failures than you do from success.


As another semester draws to a close (this is my 4th semester here by the way), I just having fun reflecting over all the life lessons i have learned. I have learned to deal with people of different personalities, creepy RM's who are frantically fishing the waters on campus to try and find their soul mate, learning how to accept and apply critics, finding the will in myself to carry on and do what has to be done (finals are ALMOST DONE, I'm SO ready for a break), and most importantly, learning how to really rely on the Lord and his will for me. There are a lot i don't know in this life and that leaves me with feelings of uncertainty and inadequacy. But I know that if i stay close to the spirit and continue to live my life worthily, he will take me by the hand and lead me to where i need to be. This i am sure of.

This has really been an interesting summer that has so fun, I've met so many fun and interesting people that have been a part of making fun lasting memories that will keep me blissfully wishing for the return of summer when the clouds of snow drift by in a couple months. Can't wait to return home (in 8 days, 10 hours, and 43 minutes) for a couple weeks of summer; can't wait to begin another great year here at BYU-Idaho (50 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes).
