Roses & Thorns

The past two days have definitely had their downs, but way too many ups for it even to matter!

Monday was made up of:
-Morning 3 mile run :) [aside from the altitude, pollution, and freezing air--it was amazing!]
-Pilates
-Submitting job applications via craigslist & getting 3 responses!
-An attempt to go to them temple
-Running errands/shopping
-Studying
-going to see fantastic mr. fox SO GOOD.

Today was also busy, I...
-Went to New Testament, love professor Huntington.
-Submitted letters of recommendation & filled out thank you cards
-Went to my other religion class :)
-Played racquetball w/ tara & then lifted weights!
-Went to institute for special needs to volunteer [so precious, I can honestly say I have felt the spirit stronger there than anywhere else.]
-STUDIEDDD.
-Hot tubbing w/ Matt, Nick, Chris, Justin, & Isaac [pretty much just met chris & isaac, way cool guys.]


bummers: I got a parking ticket, yuck. Hopefully I can appeal it & it will magically disappearrrrrrr ! Also, ambiguity is a big bummer, a big bummer it is.

Now for a quick tangent before bed:
I hate the chase, but at the same time, I freaking LOVE the chase. It's such a curse! I'm banking on the fact that I eventually get over chasing, but honestly I've spent so much of my life thus far tied down, that I'm nowhere near ready to do that again. I mean obviously, the grass always looks greener on the other side, but I'm pretty positive that if I were to end up in a relationship right now, I'd want out STAT. This year, a lot of my draw to boys has been the unavailableness. The second a guy comes too close, or shows to much interest, I seem to be done. So maybe they're playing it right--as annoying as that is. In conclusion, I want fun. Lots of freaking fun. Laid back, entirely for the heck of it, fun. The one condition being: people remain consistant, consistantly fun, consistantly there, and consistantly interested. Deal? I sure hope so.



In conclusion, I just have to say how fortunate I feel lately. So much is happening in the world, and people are living with significantly less than me. I have a loving family, an awesome best friend, an opportunity to attend college, a passion, a future profession, a knowledge of my Heavenly Father's deep-rooted love for me, and a sense of self-worth. I am so dang lucky, it really isn't even funny.
