Beavers or Otters...I can't figure out which!

ummm....so not much has happened lately. I've been super busy with school. Lots of homework...oh well that's what I get for signing up for 17 credits!!! OH...this is kind of interesting-I have to do a field journal for my Biology Lab. Basically I have to go out once a week and look and observe and write what I see...BORING!!! So I picked the field behind my apartment. Its easy to get to and if I'm not feeling to ambitious I can just look at it from my front porch lol. Well, I've done one day and I think that there are beavers or otters or something along those lines living out there. It's kinda cool and it made me a bit interested to find out what will happen out there. That's what I love about school, it takes something that I would never, ever do on my own in a million years and makes me interested. I can definitely say that I'm never going to be a biologist, but I have a new found respect for their field.

Rantings of a mad women!

Ok, so what is it with men? The minute they get a look at me they run and hide. They see my picture and stop talking to me! I may not be gorgeous but I can pass for tolerable. I may not be Kendrasize but I'm not grossly overweight either. I've got a brain that I can actually use for more than just what shirt goes best with these pants! I'm a good person. I have strong values, I know that my family, friends, and Heavenly Father loves me. I'm decently funny, I don't stink too bad, I'm somewhat interesting, but what makes me so bad that men just stop talking to me. I can't even get an email from a dating site. EHarmony turned me away! I know that I am worthy of someone. I'm worth taking a risk for. I know that this is a pretty stupid thing to rant about but it's just been bugging me somethin' fierce. I deserve to have a decent relationship!

Ah...oh well, I'm sure that it'll work out in the end.=D

The start of a promising new year!

The new term started today. I only had one class today, German 151. I have 3 other classes and a lab. I'm taking Biology 101 with the lab, Speech 111, and the Intro to the History of Rock Music (fluff class lol). The rock music class is an online class, so it'll be easier to do than some of the other classes. Holly is taking 4 classes this term. She's taking a couple of ECE classes, Math 60 online, and Russian 102. Kendra is still working her way towards becoming a baker. She'll be graduating sometime in December =)

We were able to spend Christmas with most everybody this year in Albuquerque. It was really nice and lots of fun. We were able to lots of stuff and get reacquainted with family and friends. We were there until the 1st. Kendra, Tarek, Jordon, Ruth (a friend of the family), and I all went to a Stake YSA dance. It was so much fun. I was able to just let go of everything that has ever held me back before. It was nice because I knew that I would never see those people again. The worst thing about it was I had to drive from Portland to Utah and back again. Both times were in the worst possible weather I could have had driven in. But we were blessed, because nothing happened to us at all. It was amazing.

Well, I hope that everyone has an amazing new year and that many good things happen to you.
Love you all
