School's For Fools

So far today I have taken 2 finals. In one class I ended up with a 90.25! holy hallelujah. And in my 2D design class I was sure I got a B. But nope got an A by 2 points!!! For Geography I happily did NO studying because so far that has worked out well for the previous exams. I hope I DON'T get an A in that class cuz, welp, lets be honest... I don't deserve a 4.0 GPA. It just wouldn't be fair to all those who actually study. Tonight I have my last final in ART HISTORY. Memorize 100 paintings, get atleast a 60%, and I got my last A of the day! Adios School, see ya in a month.

Mom

Today is my mom's birthday... Kinda. It was actually LAST Sunday but she had the stomach flu that day so we decided that day didn't count!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
I can't even explain how thankful I am for my mom. Even tho sometimes it seems like we are COMPLETE opposites of eachother, I know that so many of my mom's traits and characteristics have been past down to me and they are characteristics that her mom had and traits that I can only hope to have when I am a mother someday. My mom thinks about her family 24/7. She always stays positive. She has put all of her effort into creating a home and a family that is centered around the gospel and no matter what the latest trend is in the world, she has always taught us that the only safe place to be is righteously living all aspects of the gospel. She has taught us to be humble, to be thankful, and to work hard for what you have. She is selfless and patient and sacrifices all for the happiness of others. She taught us to develop all our talents and never give up on our dreams, but she also keeps me grounded in reality when necessary. With all the corruption and temptations in this world it amazes me how strong of a person my mom continues to be. I know she has a special place waiting for her in heaven and I can only pray that one day my children can say the same things about me.
Mom:
Thank you for...
1. Supporting me with school and dance and art and all of my other ambitions
2. Always being a phone call away everytime I forget something and need you to bring it to me
3. Cleaning my room WAY too many times, because you knew I was stressed
4. Always keeping me on my toes and pushing me to be better
5. Giving me more scratches and massages than i could ever count
6. Sleeping on the couch with me this week while I was sick
7. Always cooking meals for us every night
8. Bringing me breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc. anytime and anywhere when i'm hungry!
9. Reminding me of my potential, and never letting me settle

I Love You Mom,
You are an amazing example to us all.
Happy Birthday!

I Hate It When I Can't Sleep!!!

Dear Bloggy McBlogger,
Its 12:30 and i've been trying to sleep for over an hour now. But when i was in the bathroom brushing my teeth i heard funny noises and got all scared. Weird scenarios started running through my mind and I was therefore trapped in the bathroom cuz i was too afraid to open the door. (What am I... A three year old!!!) So I said a prayer... (also quite ridiculous) and then bolted out the door to my room hoping the crazy killer was not going to jump out at me. I think i've watched too many scary movies??? Negative. The scariest movie I have ever seen is The Ring. I think I'm just a La La who will never grow up when it comes to being scared of the dark and weird noises at night. Anyhoo, now i am wide awake. My mind won't stop thinking... About lots of really random stuff. Like how I sorta feel like I have the flu... and I have school in a few hours... and i'm getting real tired of school... and I wish I had a girl best friend... i always feel like talking to one and wish she was out there somewhere. Tomorrow is Thursday, correction TODAY is Thursday... TECHnically. And Thursdays are usually good days cuz i have a large break in the middle after school and before dance. I'm excited for Friday, holy cow this weekend came fast. Just seems like I was a loner last weekend like 2 SECONDS ago. My room is messy. Did you know that I change my clothes everytime I come home during the day? Sometimes I leave and come back 4 or 5 times... And I never hang up my clothes therefore my room gets messy QUICK! Weird craving... chocolate milk. If a scary killer wasn't outside my door... possibly hiding in the kitchen, I would go make myself a nice glass of Ovaltine... I just wrote CHICKEN 4 times while trying to spell Kitchen... It must be time to try and sleep again. Adios.

Reasons To Smile

A comment my sister made the other day (Kim, you are the most negative person I know)... on top of everything else... really made me realize that I need to be happy. I need to look at each day and realize how many blessings I have and I need to stop putting myself down. So today I have been trying really hard to notice all of the things that made me smile...

*Eating 6 double stuffed oreos for breakfast at work.
*Seriously regretting that decision about 30 minutes later.
*Setting up a patient who said, "Babe, i might need to call you in here... I just took a laxative."
*Wondering why anyone would take a laxative and then LEAVE the house!
*Working on an old man named NEWT who wears a barrett and who told me, "you have a beautiful smile."
*Eating pink laffy taffy's for "mid breakfast" at work (we don't have a wide selection of food)
*Having several patients tell me how great they feel after I work on them.
*Getting to take lunch to my best friend.
*Eating carmel pecan and custard Ocean Blue with LOTS of granola!
*Taking icecream to my sister.
*Playing with Olivia for 2 hours.
*Olivia almost said my name! she says some form of the word HAM which kinda sounds like KIM.
*Hearing Olivia say Brrrrr after each bite of icecream.
*Almost running over a bicyclist on my way home. (Probably shouldn't have made me laugh)
*Having some of the most AMAZING music to listen to 24/7
*Realizing the inside of my car hasn't been cleaned since i bought it 1.2 years ago.
*Realizing the outside of my car has NEVER been through the car wash and has not even been hand washed since June if not earlier?!!!
*Hanging a yummy SCENSY car candle that smells like an attractive boy to replace the serious LACK of the male species in my life.
*About to go eat homemade pizza!
*Going to give the FHE lesson which was fun to prepare
*About to go to school for three hours tonight.... ok sorry i couldn't smile about that one, that's pushin it!!!

Thank you to everyone who makes me smile throughout the day. Thank you to everyone who has ever tried to build me up instead of tear me down. If you are feeling down try doing what i did today... it's surprisingly fun.
