Every other day? Okay

I swear, I am so bad at this. I'm still posting (somewhat) consistently, but not quite making my goal. Sigh. I'll go longer than five minutes today to make up for it.

I find that I tend to update after reading a friend's blog (check her out, she's amazing!). It's probably this latent jealousy I have toward her. I have excellent friends that are all doing excellent things and it just makes me want to be better. Those are the best type of friends to have, don't you think?

Right now my life has two main components: my schooling and my relationship. I love the majority of my classes this semester. I'm taking Media Writing (LOVE), Principles of Journalism (boring), Masterpieces of World Literature 2 (I'm iffy on this one), American Government and Politics (such a review class after APGov), Book of Mormon (LOVE), and Insight: Honors Program Magazine.

That last class deserves a little explanation. Basically I'm on the staff for the Honors Program's magazine here at BYU. I'm the only freshman on Senior Staff, which means that I write a lot and work my butt off. I love it, though. I'm finding that maybe I'm more into magazine writing than news writing...but we will have to see.

And of course, the other part of my life is my relationship with Boyfriend. Have I mentioned that he's amazing? He makes me feel even more self-confident than I already am because he is so loving and accepting and understanding. Seeing and being with him is often the best part of my day.

I just love my life! Occasionally I get bogged down with worries and doubt (for example, where am I going to live in the fall?) but I'm learning that if I have faith, humility, and patience, Heavenly Father will direct my paths and all will be well.

Hmm. It seems I enjoy using parenthesis. I wonder if this will be a continuing trend.

Over and Out!
