My Crazy Life To This Point

Wow, I finally have a moment to sit down and breathe. It has been one crazy month. It all started when I came home after Thanksgiving. My mom drove me back to St. George and my goodness the roads were awful. I'm so glad my mom and I made it back to St. George safely. My mom also stayed and watched the concert that I had on Tuesday. I love when I know I have people in the audience to support me. The next two weeks flew by really fast and before I knew it the dreaded week had come. The cursed word of any college student: FINALS WEEK!

It was during this week that I learned a lot about myself. I learned that when you shelter your feelings in it makes you weaker not stronger. By learning to share what is going on in your life the stress can be melted away and lead to something better. I also learned what an amazing thing the Atonement of Jesus Christ is. It isn't just there for seeking for forgiveness, it's also there as a support to us because Christ felt what I felt and knows what i'm going through. It was an amazing experience to learn this. I've learned that when the rocks that you think hold you up and fall out from underneath you it's Christ with his atonement that builds a bridge underneath you to lead you to the right path that you are supposed to take.

And then the rest of that week. Of course once finals week were over and I had to work three days before I could go back and be with my family. Well to describe those three days, lets just say that I'm glad it is over. I think those three days were longer than the rest of the week was, because along with having to work I got a cold. But now I am home and happy to be spending time with my family.

Well I'm going to try the whole blogging thing again. And maybe just maybe i'll succeed in updating it with more than eight months in between. My life in past couple months has been a roller coaster of emotions filled with happy and sad moments. In the past couple months I have moved back home and then back to school. I'm still working on pre-req's for my major but it will be worth it. Right now it is finals week and the stress is never ending. Right now the song that just keeps going through my head is from Princess and the Frog. "Cause I've climbed a mountain and I've crossed a river and I'm almost there."And I truly am. i have two more finals and four days of work and then it's off to spend lots of time with the family. I have to say that I love being a college student. While life is sometimes difficult you learn things about yourself that you never knew. College is definitely a different experience and I'm so glad that I'm able to live it.
