I'm Back!!

So, it's kind of been a while. I didn't realize how long until I just got on here and saw that I hadn't posted since Spring Break. Oops. But here's the thing: life is crazy. I don't know what happened to this semester, but it disappeared super quick. Now, usually it's a happy thing when you feel like you blinked and suddenly you only have a few weeks left until summer. Unfortunately, I am having a hard time being super excited about that right now. With the end of this semester comes the due dates for things I should have been working on all semester, but didn't because I felt like I had all the time in the world. That time is gone now. And I am stressing. While I realize this isn't an unusual situation for your average college student to be in, I am usually better at staying on top of things. And even if everyone else feels the same way, it still doesn't help me to stop freaking out. Besides freaking out about school, the week after Spring Break was campaign week. That was ridiculous. I hate campaigning. I'm not a politician. But I love being in Student Government. I don't really want to give all the details because it's possible that I am a little bitter about how the elections ended up and the many problems and inconsistencies going on in SVU's Student Government program. It's not the ideal system. So, to summarize, I did not get elected VP of Campus Programming and I may be done with Student Government at this University completely.

The last few weeks have been kind of weird and filled with ups and downs. I kind of feel like I am just skipping along and then I trip and fall but, as I am falling, someone puts a pillow on the ground to break my fall, but as I land on the pillow, someone else comes along and kicks me in the shin, and then someone gives me an ice cream cone, and then someone spits in it, and then someone helps me up and it starts all over again. Okay, weird analogy I know. It's fine.  Mostly this has all summed together to create a whole lot more emotions than I really need on top of school right now. On the bright side, all of this plus the weather being summer-like has done great things for my running. That is going quite well.

This weekend was really good. I chose to ignore the fact that I have research paper due on Wednesday, (which I will regret very soon) and just enjoy my weekend. Friday night was game night with Elder and Sister Crowther. Love love love that! Last night we went out to dinner, played mattress sliding down the stairs, watched A Cinderella Story, and had a cute little spend-the-night. The rest of the last two days have been spent lazing about and watching General Conference with Imari, Kenzy, and Trichell. Conference was sooo good and I really love those girls (and sitting around in my pajamas all day). It was nice to have a super lazy and spiritual weekend to get me prepped for these next few weeks. They will be pretty intense.

So, I realize that this is probably not a really great way to make up for my serious slacking that I have done on this blog thing, but three weeks is a little overwhelming to recap in one blog post. So we are just doing a really vague/brief one. Hopefully I don't get in too much trouble for that. I will try to be better from now on. Note that I said "try." It might not get too much better until after finals week.
