The Red Coat gets the Worm.

My two former roommates and I decided to reunite and go to Conference in Salt Lake for the Sunday session. It was a blast. I love Conference. It's a new tradition for me to go to a session every time in Salt Lake, atleast while I am here in Provo. Every time, we stand out on the sidewalk with a sign that says "We need tickets," and beg someone to give us there's. Other people are catching on to this method, and I've noticed that there are now multiple people who do this. Fortunately, we still got tickets to both sessions this year. We asked our "friend" why he chose us to give them to (with all the competition, you know), and he responded that it was because of my red coat. Talk about good outfit planning. Matching isn't always best, folks.

Spring, Funny Dreams & Epiphanies

Spring is here, reaching its little arms into the cold and hardened air. One can't help but feel reborn.

I slept in until 11:30 this morning. My last final was last night, probably one the hardest finals I've ever taken. I have no idea what grade I got in that class (Orthopaedic Exercise and Therapeutic Impairments)...my last class for my Exercise Science Major, Hallelujah! Now I'm cruisin till Graduation, hopefully.

I've had some pretty crazy dreams lately. Two nights ago, I dreamnt that I woke up, combed over the top layer of my hair, and lo and behold there was an entire layer of white hair underneath! I freaked out, and then I started growing more white hair. (Apparently I've been super stressed lately)...

Then last night, I talked to my sister Angela on my way home from my last final. In my dream last night, she died. My current Stake President conducted at her funeral, rather insensitively...ending it short without any words of comfort. No one seemed to realize what this meant! MY SISTER DIED! Luckily, mom was there. I was balling (Ang, don't you feel special?). The funny part is, I woke up this morning crying, with tears in my eyes! HAHA! Weird.

So lately, as I mentioned, I've been super stressed. About life, school, finals, etc...and felt really inadequate and hard on myself. I've just felt like I'm a failure at life sometimes. I'm always "too late" for the internships I apply for, don't know what I want in general, takes me forever to decide where to live, etc...I think I've let some pretty negativo feelings creep into my sub-conscience. Well, the other day I was thinking I needed to read my scriptures and see what Heavenly Father had to say to me about all of this. I read in Mosiah 2:22-24(?) about how if we serve Him with all our whole souls, etc...we will be unprofitable servants. Then King Benjamin goes on to say that all that He requires of us is to keep His commandments. I had an epiphany. We need to expect of ourselves what the Lord expects of us: keep the commandments. No more, no less. So, from now on I'm simplifying my life and focusing on living up to the Lord's expectations, not my own. Love the scriptures.
