Boxing Day

So, today is known to some as Boxing Day. It is more commonly known as the day after Christmas, sort of the opposite of Christmas Eve. Everyone's given their presents, and today is the day for returns and such. I didn't have any returns (I didn't really get anything for Christmas, so I didn't have any returns), but my sister, my brother and I ended up going shopping anyway. My sister needed baby clothes for Lizzie, I ended up getting a blow up speaker chair and a book, and my brother got some DVD's and a computer game. I've read my book (twilight) and blown up my chair. My brother's started his game and we've started watching one of the movies (Mr. & Mrs. Smith). All in all, it was a nice, quiet Boxing Day. Hope yours was equally amusing!

So, the middle of finals is upon us. I now have only one final left - yay! Well, maybe. Today I took my world religion final (worth 25% of my grade), and got a 53%. Yep. a 53. I studied like crazy, basically reread the book, went through all of my notes, the full 9 yards. And this still happens to me. I'm trying to stay on top of things, telling myself "it's just a test" and "you'll do better next time", but I basically just failed the class. It's gonna plummet my GPA, and I have no idea if I even have a chance at getting into the Accounting program now. I just wanna cry. Then, as I was walking home from the test, I saw the sun. It was so bright, adding just a bit of warmth, and I knew that somehow this would work out. maybe not how I'm expecting. I might not getting into BYU's Accounting Program. But, there are more options. Maybe I'm supposed to go somewhere else for the rest of my education. Perhaps the Lord has a different mission for me. I just need to have faith, and do my best.

a month and a boy

So, I decided that I should do a little review of the last month, just for kicks and giggles. - November 9th - birthday. I'm 20, now what? - November 15th - something important happened, I'm positive... - November 20th - last day of school before Thanksgiving Break. - November 22nd - Thanksgiving. I'm grateful for... - December 5th - get courage to ask out a cute guy in one of my classes. :D - December 8th - said date with cute boy. And what a date... [insert daydream here] - December 10th - come to the realization that I don't know how to tell if a guy actually likes me. (Any ideas?) So, it was a nice little month. Now finals are upon me (basically), and I'm trying to study, write papers, and keep my mind where it belongs. I have too much homework to be doing much daydreaming, and yet I do it anyway... I really like this guy (let's call him BOY) and it's been bugging me, because I have no idea where I stand. We actually have a lot in common, and I have the feeling it could actually go somewhere if he wanted it to. I'm trying to play it right, but since I have little (aka: none) experience with such things, I'm afraid I'm going to screw up and beat myself up over it. Already I'm trying to brace myself for the fact that he might not like me, and it's a scary thought. How can someone get that attached to someone else after only one date (and talking to them all semester twice a week)? Any and all suggestions, ideas, and cheesecakes will be greatly appreciated.
