cool moves

i watched the karate kid today and it reminded me of this....

don't be jealous of our way awesome moves.

i don't need it

i miss the mountains.

sunday is always my day for deep thinking. this isn't always a good thing. i'm a little over whelmed with school and life and having this day to just think is really not helping. i have one week until spring break but that week is going to be crazy. i have a paper to complete, an astronomy test, and other assignments due. plus two tennis matches. i'm just over thinking things. i need to just focus on the present day instead of stressing on the next day. this has and will always continue to be my problem. i just need to relax and breathe. everything will be ok. in a week i'll be at a beach :). i can do this. life will always bring its problems. i need to just enjoy every minute of it before it's too late. well, there's a scary thought. cheers.

love this

tegan and sara are amazing. i was able to see them in concert a week ago... incredible!

it feels good...

... to know that i'm done with both my tests. it feels amazing.

now i can relax and start working on a paper that's due next week. gotta love life.

so alone

just a little something

happy valentines day!

so i'm really getting into the olympics! i enjoy watching speed skating. well, mostly i enjoy watching apolo ohno. but no seriously, speed skating is my new favorite thing. all of the skaters have the strongest bodies. you can tell they take extremely good care of them. it's kind of inspiring. God has given us these amazing tools and i don't think people realize just how incredible they are. people put (including myself, unfortunately) disgusting things into their bodies daily. i really want and need to improve what i eat. cutting out processed foods is a good place to start. God has given me this amazing body and it's time i start taking care of it. so you now know what my new goal for the week is ;)

so my birthday's in a month...

... i'll be nineteen years old! wow. only one more year in my teens.

here is some of my art work i did during class.

this is my lovely tree and owl. i think they're way cool.


the olympics started! i love watching them. all the sports are so much fun to watch. plus there are so many attractive guys ;)

Seasons

summer...

... fall...

... winter...

here's to something.

what made me happy today? well, i can't think of anything. don't get me wrong, it hasn't been a bad day. but overall i can't think of a specific something hmm. oh wait here's one... i had two tests today and i'm happy they are over! astronomy and art history... hopefully they went well. i really studied so we will see.

here's a quote.... "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on." -Robert Frost.

i can say that i've learned that too.

happy sunday

i find sunday's extremely difficult to get through. and let's not forget that i find them boring. all day i have time to think about everything. today hasn't been that bad though, which is surprising.

i have set some goals that i would like to complete this week. hopefully i will be able to rock them ;) i am so bad at setting goals and actually achieving them. but tomorrow is always the start of something new.

let's see what's on my happiness journal...
i'm happy that it was sunny today!

HAPPINESS JOURNAL!

here's the deal...

everyday i'm going to write at least one thing that has made me happy.

life is meant to be enjoyed.

i need to stop focusing on the negative things in life and start focusing on the positive things.

there are so many wonderful things out there!

when i'm older i want to be able to think back and remember ALL the good things.

so here it goes...

one thing that made me happy today...

working out with my sister! i know that sounds really lame but it was amazing. i was so close to not going. it was snowing outside which meant i would have to walk the snow. i also didn't want my shoes or clothing to get wet (lame excuse, no?) i decided that i really needed a break from studying so bek and i went. the 35 minutes went by fairly fast. we watched college basketball... haha. good times ;)

there's my first one...

many more to come!

counting down!

this is what i was doing a year ago over presidents day weekend...

i was hiking in zion national park with my dad and sister.

this year i'll be going to a tegan and sara concert with some friends! i am oh so so very excited!

snow!

all of my classes were cancelled today because of a storm. this has been the best day ever!

i love snow so much so i'm pretty thrilled about it. some of my friends have never seen this much snow. that's crazy to think about.

isn't that the coolest and biggest snowman ever!?

sunshine is days away

today has been a very good day! two of my classes were cancelled because of the snow. yeah! with that extra time i have been able to work on my debate i will be involved in tomorrow. i'm not looking forward to it at all. i'm nervous and scared. but i have been working on it for a while so hopefully that will help.



i worked out for an hour today which felt nice. it didn't feel good at the time but now it does. i hate working out inside. time goes by so slow!

i really am liking the snow but i'm ready for summer. sunshine please!
