burnt out.

oh, i am so tired. so so so so so tired. i have two more finals tomorrow and i don't know how i'm going to get through them. well, biology won't be too bad. but math, ughhh math. math is gonna be the death of me! i did some extra credit, and there's a curve at the end, so i'm banking on that to help my grade. without those things i'd be toast. in 24 hours i will be done with the semester. (21 actually). oh boy. that is exciting.

on the bright side, i've had a nice relaxing day with my roommates... becky, whitney and i went out to lunch (britany was already on campus studying so she couldn't get sucked into our plot to not study). then, whitney and i went and laid out by the pool. it's such a lovely dayyy! we laid out for almost 2 hours, got some color... and studied a little bit.


as a nice study break, (okay i'll be honest i wasn't even studying) I GOT TO SEE ELDER HARDER! yep, cody's been set apart as a missionary for the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints :) he was up on campus today so i got to see him for a few minutes. how exciting.

and then, i bought us some german chocolate fudge from the byu bookstore. since he's going to germany i thought it was appropriate. and i just wanted chocolate...yeah. it was delicious.



so, now that it's 7:30 and i've done about an hour of studying all day, i'll wrap up this blog post so maybe i won't fail my finals tomorrow...

(disclaimer: despite all this complaining, i really am happy. no worries :) life's great.)

oh, you know.. just.. going crazy.

Hello!

so last weekend was general conference. and easter. and some friends from home came up to utah. it was a great weekend! saturday, i went up to salt lake for conference. saw both the saturday morning and saturday afternoon sessions, and hung out with drew, cody, and our new friend louie in between the sessions. it was great fun. my favorite general conference talk was "You Are My Hands" my President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. It was about love, and how we as disciples of Jesus Christ are called to love and serve others. watch it! it's a two-part video on you tube, or read it at http://www.lds.org/ :)


on easter, i watched conference at home, and then went up to salt lake to have dinner at drew's grandparents' house with a few friends. it was way fun. it was nice to be with a family on easter; this was the first easter i wasn't with my family. it was a great weekend and a great holiday, though! cody code is going on his mission in t-minus 9 days! how exciting. he's gonna be so great, but i'm gonna miss him tons!! here's a picture of our last hug (for two years)!






(okay i lied. i actually snuck in one more after this was taken.)

this past weekend, i got a whole lot of nothing done. i did go to the temple twice, to a volleyball game, and saw the last song and alice and wonderland... but not so much homework or studying. oops. yeah, it's good now and then to have a fun, relaxing weekend... but i start finals on thursday so maybe this past weekend wasn't the best time to take a break. ha. i'll make it through finals.... i think.

i have a 7-page biology paper i just started today due tomorrow, two math assignments also due tomorrow, two finals on thursday, teaching a lesson in relief society sunday, and two more finals next tuesday. hahaha. crazy 9 days. but after that i am done!

okay. i should probably stop blogging and get back to all the stuff i need to do!
