Dear Readers,
Yesterday I had the overwhelming urge to write something really long. So I wrote in my journal. Typing it up revealed that the entry was over 2000 words. Imagine that, a paper well worth reading in most eyes. Today, I again have an urge to write something really long and yet, I feel as though nothing is worth writing about. There a million complaints that could be shared, but I like to be a positive person. You could here about all my roommates, but they probably don't want me pasting their lives on the internet. You definitely don't want to hear about how much I eat while I'm here at BYU. We are moving out soon, so I'm trying to eat all my food. I could write about our adventures here...that's actually an ok topic. I don't know if that's enough to write about, though.
Anyway, I'm sitting here on a Thursday afternoon after failing yet another test, listening to ITunes music while my roommates are trying to find their Monopoly game. Today I went to a review session for the test, followed by a Lab for homework in my science class. I was late because they changed the room and I didn't know about it. My fault, I know. Wow, I use the word 'I' a lot. That's probably not a good thing to be so self-centered.
Oh, my best friend got his mission call! He's going to New Mexico. I'm really excited for him and he leaves a few weeks before I do. :) Good luck to him these upcoming two years. He'll do very well.
This feeling to write still consumes me, but alas, I have to get my homework for my next class done. Maybe I'll come back and write another post today and add them together. Study, read and go to class, that seems like all I ever do while I'm here. Which would be a good thing if my grades weren't so crappy. I wish the best of luck to whomever is attending college this fall. My brother, my friends, everyone. We'll see how they do. They weren't kidding when they said it was hard. The work isn't all that hard, but when that work seems to not pay off, it's really hard emotionally.
I guess that's why people write so many songs about not giving up. Just now, I listened to the song, "Raise it up" from August Rush. Many other songs have the same message: Josh Groban's "You are loved," "Don't Stop Believin'," "Dream Big" and even "Go, Go, Go Joseph." Thats just another testimony that our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to make it back to him.
Music really influences me. More so than I thought before. More and more there are songs that pop into my head that correspond with what people around me say. Sometimes they are just random words that remind me of a funny song but sometimes I love the ideas that the songs remind me of. "Unanswered Prayers" is one of those songs. It has a great message about how God always hears us, even if he doesn't give us what we want. He gives us what we need.
Ok, now that I've talked your ear off about nothing because my brain goes a million miles a minutes(Which is actually faster than the speed of light), I will leave you to go read some more. Joy of joys, reading. I bid you adieu.

Hang in there. College is a big adjustment and the tests are a lot harder. And luckily you won't have to take a test for two years, so hooray for you!
