Life, Love, and school work

Life is some. Love is none. School work is a ton.


Life includeds both love and school work for me.


Love for my Grandma who passed away on Thursday the 1st of November. Really sad to be away at school when this happened and even worse that I had to stay at school until Saturday morning due to training for work. At least I was able to go home though.



Less than 7 months later my Grandad also passed away. Everyone says that most spouses do not survive more than a year after the passing of their loved one. I never wanted to believe this saying. Especially when my Gram had outlived her husband by almost 9 years. It was crazy to imagine that it was even possible.



There are some coinsidences between the deaths. Well...I guess I could compare them both to my Gram when she passed away. My Gram passed away on November 2nd which is a very close day to the 1st. I thought it was interesting that it was that close in date to eachother. When my Granddad passed away he had just had a birthday party. That is probably the most memorable time before he did pass away. My Gram had also had her birthday party the year that she passed away. It is almost ironic that these cases both took place around deaths.

I was scared when my Aunt decided to give my Grandad a surprise party. I almost immediatly thought of the fact that my Gram had thrown herself a party the year before she passed away. These are all weird coincidences that all fit together. It may be God's plan for that to all happen. I know that everything that happens for a reason, but some reasons are just scary to think about.

Life as a Sophomore!

Life is so much better as a sophomore. I feel so much more independent. My mod here at APU is like a mini home. We have a living room and everything. The only difference is that I am still living on campus which helps lower the cost of things a little. My roommates are amazing. So far so good. We have had no real big complications ... unlike last year *cough* cough*. Even though I was just a freshman last year it seems as though it was forever ago. Now all I have left is like 3 more years until I graduate and get out of here!!!

That is being hopeful though. I still need to determine my major which I am hoping to do within the next couple of weeks or so. All of my classes are still general ed. classes which means that I am going to be taking mostly my major classes next semester and so forth. My RA is very perky and sweet. She had us all gather ingredients and make a giant pazooki. Although it was a little salty it was still really fun. I still have a list of T.V. shows up by the T.V. so that everyone knows what I would prefer to watch. It is amazing how many of the shows I would like to watch overlap.

Apparently I am not a highlighter and pens/pencil collector. I do not know if that is really true although I do like to highlight a lot of things. Partially to make it colorful so that I will be able to read things better. It makes the different areas stand out. I made sure that I highlighted all of my sillubi and that was a lot of fun and colorful. I think that when I am usually coloring, I would rather color with highlighters than with markers. Which may explain why I like to do crosswords a lot. Now if I could only get as motivated for doing my homework and reading the bible as I do for highlighting that would be amazing.

There are not many downfalls for being in a house like structure except for the fact that when everyone leaves and you are the only one in the "house" it seems so empty. It is very interesting to make more of my own food in college now. Last year it was like every meal that I needed to eat on campus...mainly to make sure that I used up all of my meals (which I ended up running out of.) So yeah, that is basically what is going on in my life now. I will try and Blog more often this year. Which will more likely than not be on Fridays since it is not a day that I want to be doing homework but it is still a day.
