It's My Life!

Dear Reader,


The song lyrics today come Bon Joji. I'm not a huge fan, but that song is really catchy. Anyway, today I write mostly because I haven't written in awhile and I was afraid that you, my friend, would miss reading my great insights into life (Maybe not, but you're getting some anyway). Actually, I can tell you about life with just a short comedic video made by Studio C, the comedy series produced by BYUtv.


Yes, there are certainly a lot of lessons to be learned from this video. Studio C does a pretty good job with some of their sketches and it gets you thinking while you giggle.

Anyway, life is just chugging along right now. Classes keep me pretty busy and right now I'm working on an Internship for Write Express, which is pretty fun. There are a lot of obstacles to overcome, like computers that crash, programs that aren't compatible and laziness. Laziness isn't an obstacle, I just wanted to remind myself of the weaknesses I'm working on.

Speaking on working on weaknesses, we had General Conference this weekend! That was quite a fun time. I was able to go home on Saturday before spending all day Sunday in the BYUradio studio to operate the sound board. There were lots of great things said and taught:


  • We don't marry perfection, we marry potential. 
  • "Put your trust in that Spirit which leadeth to do good." - President Henry B. Eyring
  • Nothing is more crucial in your life than your own personal conversion.
  • Just do it!
  • Have faith and go forward
There are three new apostles in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints starting this General Conference. Unfortunately there are lots of people who are making a big deal about the fact that the 3 new apostles (Ronald A. Rasband, Gary. E Stevenson and Dale G. Renlund) being white and the fact that they were all born in Utah. I won't try to teach those people anything. All I will say is that they are called of God. Why God called them? I have no idea. Said people, who claim to want diversity in the leadership of the Church, are welcome to read this article about Elder Renlund, who has almost as much foreign experience as he has here in the United States.

Back to the main point, though, General Conference was awesome. I need to go back and read the talks that were given, which you can also do by visiting the Conference page on lds.org.

That is how my life is going right now. How is your life going? What did you like about the LDS General Conference? Let me know!

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
