I am trying not to think about the next couple weeks...
4 Tests
4 Papers one of which is 12 pages long
Moving/ Packing up
Cleaning Checks
Relief Society Lesson
Going home to kill bugs and be with family- this one makes me excited:)
It doesn't seem like much but for some reason this year I am feeling a little more overwhelmed than usual. I think maybe it is because I will be packing up and moving and cleaning this year without my mom, she typically comes and helps me out. I think I will and already am realizing how much she does for me. Not only during my finals week, and my starting week each year at school, but the fact that she does so much more than just those things.
She teaches me, loves me, talks with me, laughs and cries with me. She protects me, strengthens me, and gives me hope. She truly has influenced and blessed my life, in more ways than she is aware. I am so glad I am able to know, and have a friendship with my mom. It makes a world of difference.
Recently, I have been working on a paper for my symbolic anthropology class, which is discussing the way that we physically show love, and the importance of showing and sharing that feel/emotion. It is through the actions of my mom and others that I see I am loved. Love cannot be seen or understood without the expression of others, or the actions, whatever that action or expression may be.
I am grateful for the ability to see love, and know I am loved. It will make the difference in the next two weeks of business, not be that bad and worth the reward. A break, time with my family, time in Germany with my sister and niece, and then a whole summer of enjoying my siblings and parents.

Exciting Adventures
So far this semester has been an adventure but my life is abut to get even more exciting...
I have been taking anthropology classes and figuring out my pre-requisites for a master degree in Occupational Therapy- which is a lot like Physical Therapy- I am super excited about this. This summer i have the chance to do some volunteer work with a neighbor of mine who is working with horses and kids with autism etc. I am excited to learn new thingsand see what this therapy technique is like.
I also am probably going to visit the beautiful country of Germany, for the first time leaving the country, I am thrilled at this chance of a life time, to see new things and love the world more than I already do :)
I also am going to just modge-pogde my whole summer together for work, riding on a scooter again doing storm drains to kill those mosquitoes, delivering phone books, working on the farm and possibly being an EFY counselor but I am still waiting to here back on that one, we will see, all I know is I am thrilled to go home, be with my family, get a break, and do lots of fun things. Including ride a scooter tons, get a tan, help my parents, be with my siblings, and see the stars and sun rises again. O the joys of living in the country, with no city lights or buildings in my way.
It is not long now until I get to begin this grand adventure, but I guess I am finishing up a grand adventure, getting ready to start the next chapter in my life. I am grateful for the chapter I am finishing. I have learned so much in so little time, I have learned to trust and love, to understand, to accept things I wish I could change, and to learn that knowing is different than seeing or believing, and I know that everything will be ok. It jsut takes hope, faith, courage and the motivation to keep trying.
It is so crazy how sometimes what you think is what is best for you turns out to not be the best but the option you did take was better. Its been good times, hard times, sad times, busy times, growing times, and amazing times. Heavenly Father is definitely blessing my life in so many ways!
