Timing

I was having a rough day. I had a fight with someone I care about yesterday. BY the end of the argument I was doubting myself. I felt like I had no value. Fighting and conflict are ugly. And they ruin things. I avoid it at all cost. I am an argumentative person yet I hate conflict. The irony is astounding. I am a walking contradiction. But this video made me smile and realize I was being too hard on myself. That no one person or conflict should make me feel that way about myself. I needed to hear this now. I am guessing anyone who reads my blog does too.video link
People need to remeber their value.
Peace and love,

The Cake Analogy

The past few months I have been thinking about a lesson I learned when I was 13. The example went like this. A really nice cake with beautiful piping was presented on the table. It was a few days old and was starting to go stale. It would have still been really good. Our teacher asked us if we wanted some of the cake, we responded positively. And she threw it away. She went into another room and brought back a better, fresher, more elaborate cake. The teacher just continued the lesson talking about how hard work and diligence pay off, and not to settle for something good when you can have something great. This has been the life lesson for the summer. Don't settle for okay grades. Don't accept with mediocre relationships. Put forth the effort to be amazing. When you do all that you can that is when you succeed. Anything worth having is worth working for. I have officially decided to work at school and my relationships. I will have my cake and eat it too.
                               

School and Other Shananigans

Hey World,
 It has been months since I have blogged. Life came up and well blogging was the think that had to go. Over the past 5 months the following has happened:
My friend Annie got hitched.
I worked at Children's Hospital working on Hereditary Cancer Databases and assisting with research.
I took Sociology 111, Child Development online. I almost failed my Child Development class. Long story short I proved my professor wrong muahahaha.
I went to Arizona to visit family on vacation.  I love my family.
I met people who I plan on having in my life for a long time. I had friends who I have grown apart from.


I am now on my Junior year at BYU-Idaho. I am taking Sociology of the Family, Sociology of Religion, Sociological Explorations, Race and Ethnic Relations, And an Ethics class that they call Foundations Capstone. The first four classes are the hardest combination of classes in my major. They are all really demanding classes that involve a lot of reading and essay writing. I am excited for the challenge. I do believe the stress may be the end of me though. I am looking into graduate school currently. I want to go into Child Life. This is the school I really want to attend for my schooling.  http://www.apac.org.uk/  As you can tell from the URL it is a school in the United Kingdom, they have some of the best international training programs. These next few semesters will determine if I can get into their program. Most of the training takes place over weekends so I will be able to work during the week.  Yay monies! I hope it works out. :)
