So I had my birthday a week ago Saturday and it was pretty good (besides doing homework for half the day...). I can't believe that I;m already 20 cRaZy!! Anyways here are my gifts :) (my internet is being slow so no pictures are available so here's the list:
-Some chocolate, ice cream cake, and other stuff from Kim, Kalina and Lindsey
-My mom phoned me at 8 and told me to come to my door, she dropped off some apple cider and a blueberry treat for breakfast
-A printer from my parents :D I was so excited :P
-Letters to Juliet (a really cute show :D)
I loved my birthday, it still amazes me how old I am getting. I know I'm in my prime of my life but right now I just feel like skipping all this and moving to when I'm done school as well as done with the YSA scene. As fun as the YSA scene is...I'm done :P But I will try to be more positive and go to dances and things, no guarentees that it will last long but I'll try!! haha

OCD
I am so OCD, seriously: P when it takes an hour to cut out 5 calendar pictures there is something wrong. For one of my assignments I have to make a picture file with at least thirty pictures and so far I have twelve cut out, none cropped onto a piece of construction paper, and defiantly none laminated…I might be working on this for a while yet haha. It would’ve taken less time had I been ok with a slight diagonal in my cutting skills ( no one would probably notice), but nOo I have to get it completely straight and spend about ten minutes on each one. Too bad I’m not that OCD about my room…
At least I got one thing accomplished tonight. I studied for about an hour for my psychology test coming up on Thursday. Hopefully I do well because like my instructors tell me if I don’t do well in psychology then I’m hooped :S I think I’ll do alright though, I memorized Freud’s, Erikson’s, and the Newman’s theories of development (it’s the center of everything that I’ll learn this semester and next).
In other news both of my brothers turned a year older in the past couple weeks :) I can’t believe that Eric is 16 and Chris is 14. Where did the time go? It seems like only yesterday that we were making mud pies in the backyard and now Eric can date, Chris can go to stake dances and I am almost half done my first semester of College. That’s scary.
Speaking of birthdays I will be twenty on Saturday! Weird hey? I will no longer be a teenager and enter into true adulthood. Not that I haven’t already but being nineteen makes me feel young still :P. Another advantage of being twenty is that I can be a paid councillor at EFY, hopefully this year they won’t reject my application like last year haha.
Anyways it’s time to get back to work...lame :P

Life
Yes I’m still alive, I’ve just been really busy. School has been going great! There are still times when I think ‘what am I doing here?’ but then I get to practicum and realize what the point is :P. I really think that I made the right choice in staying here, this is truly what I want to do for the rest of my life….i just have to make it through the next two years.
Living on my own has gotten easier; I still go home at least once a week but I don’t miss it as often as I used to. Although it is still nice to go home and eat a nice meal and hang out with my family :)I think what makes it easier to live on my own is my roommates, we all get along really well and haven’t fought at all. It’s pretty sweet that we can hang out and talk about anything, even at two in the morning :P.
In other news I felt like yesterday was a very productive day. I got home worked on my English assignment which I am almost finished, I did my video quiz, started on my paper on developmentally appropriate practices, and went to institute. I even went to bed early! That hardly ever happens now a days. But I hope to be almost done the developmental practices paper by tomorrow so that I can watch conference this weekend :D
Ohh and I bought a new more relaible car. It seems to be working which is a good sign :P haha
Well that’s about it for now, hopefully I’ll have time in the near future to update again.

Goodbye Car
Dear Car,
I'm sorry but we have to sell you, you're just to demanding. I need a reliable car and I'm sorry but you're not cutting it. Please don't take it to harshly, I'm sure there's someone out there that would love to take you. Can't say that I'll miss you,

Moving on
I am happy to report that I found a place to move into! It's not im my current ward but it is in the same stake so it won't be completly new. By this time next week I will have finished my first few days of school, be moved in, and hopefully be pretty good at cooking my own meals. I am so excited that I am moving on and vernturing out on my own, I'm sure it will be a reality check but I am ready to learn!
Oh and today I went to the dentist and had a funny conversation with him concerning my wisdom teeth.
Dentist: How old are you?
Me: 19
Dentist: Oh so old enough to get your wisdom teeth out
Me: Ya....
Dentist: It's not an emergency or anything but if ever you get bored and you have 2 ot 3 days to relax, you can make an apointment to get your wisdom teeth out (smiles really big at me), wouldn't that be exciting?
It's very unlikely that I will EVER get so bored that I'm willing to put myself through that, but I guess I'll have to do it eventually...maybe in May :P

One year ago I didn't know what I wanted.
I thought that I would be going to BYU-I for who knows what degree.
I wasn't happy with where I was in life.
Also working at the store wasn't doing much for my overal mood.
It's amazing what can happen in one year, I'm heading to school in a week for my Early Childhood Education Certificate. I am happy with my decision to stay here and am excited to start college life! I've had a great time working with all the kids at daycare and am actually pretty sad to leave them. But who knows in another two years I could be working with them again, I guess what I've learned this year is that you can't plan to much ahead because nothing seems to go the way you want it to. I'm not saying that I'm glad my life is ending up this way I am actually quite happy it did, it's just not what I expected :P I just had to learn to put my faith in the Lord and believe that he will lead me to where I'm meant to go.
So what ever is in store for me in the next year, what ever life throws at me, I have to trust that I'll be ready.
