Softy at Heart

Tonight I read some of my past posts lately, and I realized I am a very sappy girl. Some of what I post may not make sense to anyone but me, but most of what I post is dripping in sweet. And guess what, I don't even care! I post what I need to write, and lately I need to write about good things in my life, so, to who ever might be reading my blog, sorry not sorry for the sappiness. I love it.

I need to write about my day:

1-I hate Spanish. I love my time at BYU, but each semester I fill up 4 credits with Spanish. The BYU English department is one of the best English programs in the Nation, and I am filling my semester up with lo/le/se/le when I could be taking Adolescent Literature from Christopher Crowe or learning about post-modern American literature, but, alas, I am learning about the difference between alli and alla.

2-I get all nervous with goodbyes. Whether it is one day or one month, I get all emotionless and just rush through it. After, I regret it and wish I would have given one last hug or smile. #sociallyinept

3-Ah, finances. I did some math today. Shocking, I know! I've been to 12 semesters of school, 50 months of rent, and 4 literature Anthologies. Let's work this out.

12 semesters X 2,300 tuition=27,600
50 months X 300 avg rent-15,000
12 semesters X 200 books=2,400
GRAND TOTAL= 45,000$

I am so grateful that I go to a private school that charges a small fraction of what other private school charge. Also, I am grateful I have a roof over my head, heat in the winter and, well, windows that open in the summer. And I love my books more than I love most people. With that being said, I should be grateful that I've only had to take out a small amount in student loans in order to get where I am. If I could do that math, I would tell you the percentage, but I can't, so we'll just round it a small digit that I should be grateful for instead of crying about. It could be so much worse.

4-Toothpase rubbed on headlights clears them up. For reals. Check it out.



5-I'm dying from a cold. In the past six hours it has mass multiplied and will probably turn into strep or broken bones or amputated arms. I'm not even exaggerating.

6-I busted out 4 big assignments tonight. That's an achievement that, if my dad were here, would say deserved a ribbon if he had one.

7-I miss the gym.

8-Google rules the world. Did any of you know that the ads that show up on webpages can be linked to what you searched in google? Well, it can. :)

9-One thing Idaho doesn't see much of: Taxis and Limos


10-I am a mix of emotions: excited and nervous, sad and worried, but mostly just happy. Very, very happy to be so blessed in so many ways.

I did some recounting and turns out I counted wrong the first time. Shocker.

Abbie, I warned you that it was going to be sappy! :)
