Two Decades......

So before I get to all the 'happy birthday stuff', there is a lot of other stuff I need to catch up on! So school is being crazy and I can’t tell it to stop.....nuff said. I had a circuits test two weeks ago and barely just got it back. And when I took it I totally thought I failed it but hallelujah, I got a B! And earlier I had taken a quiz in my Engineering Mechanics class and got it back, I had totally bombed it. And we have to pass these quizzes to pass the class (long story short). So, devastated, I went and talked to my professor and he was so nice! He said "well let’s have a look at it, I probably graded you too hard." so he looked at it, and I really only did one thing wrong, so he regraded it so I went from a 4/10 to a 9/10!

So my whole point in this story is the lord really helps us. Ever since my summer school class my confidence in my test taking skills has gone way down. But the lord always has confidence in me and I thank Him so much! He helped me keep my cool about my quiz and because of it everything is going to be fine! (Until next quiz...) ha!

So school is interesting but a wonderful (at times) learning experience.

So.......................... I’m 20 now...... CRAZY!

So this birthday has been pretty interesting. We went out to dinner on Wednesday (my birthday was Thursday) cuz all of us were too busy the night of my real birthday. So we had cake, not on my birthday, and all I really did on my bday was open presents! But it was still fun. My singles ward is amazing where the Bishop and his wife cook dinner for all the birthdays of that month, and by coincidence, the dinner was on my bday! So that was a fun thing to do. It was just strange cuz Thursdays are like my longest days so I really didn’t see mom and dad all that much, and I had a differential equations test the next morning so..yeah it was strange but fun.

Me and my cake!
Me figuring out what Im going to wish for....
that morning (one of the 3 pictures of me taken ON my birthday.... what a break in tradition!)

Well its been real. Hopefully i will get to update soon again! love you all!

Three Cheers for Trials.......

so..things arnt going super right now....i think that i did awful on a test, but the results have not come in. And this a no little cause of much anxiety that I am feeling, and have been feeling since Tuesday (the day of the test). And try as I might I can only smother it for a bit, but it aways comes back. and the sucky part is i soooo knew the material, but i blanked and panicked somewhat, but hey maybe the Lord will soften my prof's heart and all will be well...

and though this has been a huge trial for me, i know i will be a better person and all for it, and im so excited for conference, cuz it is basically going to be AMAZING! but still, life is not fun right now.

but hey by 20th birthday is a week from today, and that is pretty much craziness in and of itself. huzzah for something eh?
