"Stress: The confusion created when one's mind overrides the body's basic desire to choke the living daylights out of some jerk who desperately deserves it"
That is all.

Awesome quote.
I found a quote that describes my life perfectly..
"Stress: The confusion created when one's mind overrides the body's basic desire to choke the living daylights out of some jerk who desperately deserves it"
That is all.

Update on school..
It's going freakin awesome! I just got my first Math test score back and.. 105%! WOO! I also just took my first Humanities quiz and.. 100%! I still haven't gotten my Music paper score but, I think I did pretty good. I've been going to every class, everyday. I've been, somewhat, keeping up on my reading and just feel really good about school so far! I have exams coming up but, I'm going to study, study, study! I've decided I'm going to rock every exam. THAT'S right! This is very short but I have nothing else to say about school. It's still school.

School started. Laziness is over.. for the most part.
School has started. Notice I didn't end that sentence with an exclamation point, like I usually do with just about every sentence. Don't get me wrong, I'm ready to start school again and actually like a few of my classes but.. I will have no life. My classes are as follows:
College Algebra 0990
American Popular Music
Intro. Criminal Justice
Humanities through the Arts
What I feel about each class goes as follows:
College Algebra 0990:
Kill me now. That about sums it up. One plus, my Professor is a cute, old lady who just loves teaching. I love professors like that!
American Popular Music:
I've only had this class once but loved the lecture. I really think I'll enjoy this class. The professor knows a TON about music and there doesn't seem to be an overwhelming amount of homework, which is always nice.
Intro. Criminal Justice:
I know I made the right choice with my major. I love everything about this class and I've only had it once. I'm SO excited! I should have started this major years ago.
Humanities through the Arts:
I thought about withdrawing when there was only 5 of us in class when it started. Luckily, other people started coming in 15 or so minutes later and there ended up being about 20 students in the end. I decided to give this class one chance and I would make my final decision after. I loved it. This class has so much involvement with art, I just love it. The homework seems a bit tough but, I think I'll really enjoy the lectures. For a final project, I can actually oil paint and turn it in. How cool is that?
This last week was pretty rough. My legs and feet are in so much pain but, it's worth it. I'm finally ready to be in school full time and I can't WAIT to get my Bachelor's degree in Forensic Science. It fits me so well. I know this career choice will be something I love! It only took me how many years to figure it out? I'd rather not give that answer.
One thing I realized from all my classes was, there is always a thinks-they-know-it-all person. Seriously. In every single one of my classes. I'm pretty sure I'll be killing one of them by the end of the semester. I just don't understand how someone can think that making a comment after EVERYTHING the professor says is actually a good idea. It's ridiculous.
On a different note.. I started reading The Mortal Instruments series. I'm on the first book and I'm really, really enjoying it! It's definetely similar to Twilight but, I think, way better written. I should say that the story line is similar but the characters are more interesting. This isn't a vampire book but it does have an oridnary girl who can see a certain group of people that humans shouldn't be able to see so, she's special. Then you have the love triangle and the evil people trying to kill humans. I would say it's more mature than Twilight, for sure, but it is very similar so if you didn't like Twilight, you may not like this. I would recommend at least giving it a try! My next book, after this series, will be.. Witch and Wizard by James Patterson.
So the next few months will be school, school, and more school. I'm sure my future blog posts will be venting about homework, obnoxious people, and anything else school related. Read at your own risk.

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone!
I'm so thankful for this time of year. I have the best husband in the world! He's always there for me when I need him and always comes through for me when I'm in need of comfort. This time of year makes you really think about the people you're closest to. I feel like I'm able to see who truly cares for me, loves me and would do anything for me. My family means the world to me and I'm so thankful for them as well. Thank you, David, for putting up with my venting, especially lately.. ha!, my ditziness, my forgetfulness, and my occasional complaining. That's right, I said occasional. :)
I love you! You are a truly my best friend and I don't think I could make it without you. I know, tender.

And it starts.
I'm all registered for school and as nervous as can be!
My classes are as follows..
American Popular Music
Humanities for the Arts
Intro to Criminal Justice
Introductory Algebra
I only have classes Tuesday-Thursday which is awesome. AND my earliest class is at 2pm. Again, awesome. If you know me at all, I am NOT a morning person. Not even a little. Now, I have to purchase books. Eek. I'm going to rent all of them except for the Criminal Justice one. I'd like to keep any books having to do with Forensic Science. After Spring semester, I will be 30% done! I hope to have my bachelors within 3 years. That means constant school but, it will be worth it. I need to take advantage of not having to work because my husband has an awesome job. I can be a full-time student and not have to be in debt for it. Hooray!
School.. here I come!

New start!
I'm starting fresh.
I was looking back on some blog posts and realized there are some things that I don't want to remember or relive each time I log on here. I don't want to feel anxious or regret anything written. I don't post very often but I want to make my blog a place to update and express appreciation for my life and everything I have. I have a lot to be thankful for and it didn't show. Soooo, my blog is now a blank canvas!
First I'll update..
David and I moved to Orem, UT about a month ago and absolutely LOVE our new place! It is a 3 bedroom/2 bath condo right off the 800 N. exit from I-15. I haven't been able to explore much due to my laziness but, the scenery is breathtaking. We are so close to the mountains and can see Utah Lake from our bedroom balcony. We live next to a Winco! WOO! Yes, I get excited about a grocery store. We used to live next to a Harmon's and Winco is so much cheaper. I actually walked there today! Believe it. We're not fond of our upstairs neighbors who enjoy jumping around 24/7 but that's what comes with renting. I guess. Woo? We'll see..
I start school at UVU on January 5! I'm very excited. My major is Forensic Science, for now. That's a field I'm very interested in and think I'd be good at but it means I'll have to take tons of Chemistry, Math, and Physics. If you know me at all, you probably paused after reading that with mixed feelings. Believe me, I have the same feelings. BUT, I'm going for it. I know I can do it as long as I actually do the homework AND study. Not just one or the other. Or neither. :)
I'll be going full-time and not working. I've never gone to college and not worked at the same time. I'm very excited to be able to put all my focus towards school. I need to do that if I want to graduate. I'm not the best multi-tasker. Eek!
David is still at Imagine Learning. He was promoted to team lead over a bunch of interns. Right now, he only has a couple but is supposed to end up with about 12 programmers working under him. He has mixed feelings about the position. He enjoys programming so being promoted to team lead means, less programming per day. That's the part he doesn't like. I'm sure he enjoys being in charge of people and telling them what to do. :) I know I enjoy that. Bwahaha!
I've, basically, finished my Christmas shopping! That's a first for me. I usually wait until about the 23rd. Ha! I actually did most of my shopping on black Friday. I know, crazy huh? It really wasn't bad. Jessica and Shohei were in town and were able to get a lot of their shopping done too! It was a fun day!.. for Jessica and I.
We have our Christmas tree up and decorated! It's fun. This year, we went and bought ornaments and chose a couple to represent ourselves. It was our first time buying our own ornaments! Tender.
I'm sure I've bored anyone actually reading this so, I'll stop. For now.. bwahaha!
