Weekend fun

Well it has been a little while since I posted, I don't post very often because my life is very boring, and well no one reads my blog, so I don't feel very motivated to write in it! I have been up to my usual, studying!! I have actually finally caught up, and even gotten ahead in all of my classes!! I'm also proud to say I have A's in all of my classes up to this point, and well I'm hoping to keep it that way!! I have been having fun to though, don't worry!! I went with my cousin Barbara this weekend to Idaho Falls and we had fun walking around the mall and then we went out to eat, which was my favorite part because I found out Idaho Falls has a cafe rio, only one of my favorite restuarants of all time!! Friday night I also went to guitars unplugged and had fun dancing and enjoying all the acts. I then spent the whole day saturday cleaning my apartment, and I mean really cleaning and scrubbing!! I felt very accomplished that night as I went to Stake conference because my house was clean and sparkly, all my homework was done, all my clothes were clean and folded, and I was able to just come home and relax and watch a movie!! I love that feeling!!
So I am feeling a little frustrated, I have been really trying to watch what I eat lately, I have told most of my roommates, and they seemed very supportive, but lately they have been making treats like cinnamon rolls, and bringing home candy to share, which would be nice, but it is so hard for me to say no to things like that, that i love, and well NONE of my roommates eats sweets, so they just sit their on the counter staring me in the face, in fact one of my roommates gave me a bag of halloween candy her mom sent for all of us roommates, she said she gave me the bag because no one else eats sweets... I was like um I don't either remember I'm trying to be good, and she was like well yeah I know. so the bag has been sitting on my desk un touched for the past 2 weeks, i plan on just taking it to my nephew this weekend and giving it to him for halloween. Then tonight my roommate make a HUGE thing of cinnamon rolls, I mean there must have been like 30-40 rolls that she made, all for our little FHE group. I asked her not to bring any home unless she and her sister were planning on eating them. Well of course they come home with a full tray, that will just sit on my table staring me in the face until they either go bad or someone gives them away!! I'm just feeling really irritated because I feel like the people who would support me in my goals, are just trying to put as much temptation in my way as possible!!
Well on a lighter note; today has been a crazy day, I walked up to campus, which is different, I usually drive because I live so far away, but I wanted to be good and get some exercise! I had 2 great classes, then I went to the library to get all my homework done, it was great I didn't expect to get as much done as I did! I was supposed to go to the gym with my cousin Barb, but she wasn't feeling well so I just stayed in the library studying, and I'm happy to say I got all my English homework done for the WEEK!!! I was so happy! When I finished all of that I came home, had some lunch and went to my room and decided to do a workout video, I put in Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, and it kicked my trash, but I was still asking for more, so I put in my other video turbo jam, I hadn't done it in so long, and I forgot how much i love it!! It is funny, Jillian and Turbo Jam are the same length, but for some reason turbo jam feels like it goes by a lot faster, it is just so much fun it hardly feels like exercise (oh but the next day my body is sure gonna feel it!!) It felt so good to exercise, I have been so caught up in doing well in school that I haven't really given exercise its proper due, but I just felt so good and happy and alive after I finished that it is my goal to put exercising as a priority!!
Well now I am just in my room writing in my blog, I started working on a paper I need to write for my New Testament class, it is on obedience. It really is one of my favorite topics, and it wouldn't be hard to just give a talk on it, but I have to write it out word for word and turn it in, which is hard for me because I don't like writing out my talks, and I have no idea how to start it! But it will be fun to write once I get past the initial hard part!
Well this post is sufficiently long enough!! I think i will end this and go to bed!!!

School School and more School

So I have been so busy with school lately, I don't remember ever spending so much time in the library or studying, it is just crazy! I remember before my mission I would just kind of slack off but still get good grades, I don't know if my ability to slack and still get good grades is gone, or simply if my ability to slack has worn off!! I spend all my time in the library or in my room studying, I haven't had time for any social fun at all, of course that has in part to do with the fact that I am almost always going out of town on the weekends!! In fact my original plan was to go out of town this weekend, but I decided to sacrifice this mini road trip to stay in Rexburg for a weekend, I think I'm going to go to Latin dancing, you know try and be social and meet new people!
I do love my classes though, well except for my English class, that one sucks!! But my child development classes and Spanish class are awesome! I'm learning so much and I love it! I'm so excited about the major I have chosen, I just can't wait to start really getting into my sociology classes, I feel like they will be hard, but a lot of fun! I just love to learn!!
So something I have been looking into and planning on is going back to Argentina! I have talked it over with a few of my teachers here at BYU-I and I will either be going in January or August to do an internship in Buenos Aires, and the cool thing is I will be living with a family from my mission! I'm so excited about going back, right now I'm just trying to decide which semester will be best!! Both semesters have pros and cons to them, I've decided I'm gonna go to the temple tomorrow and try to figure everything out, because if I'm going to go in January I need to get everything filled out and sent in quickly!
Well I think I'm going to end this post, and go slack off, I don't have anything due for a couple of days and I was planning on studying, but I'm going to go and slack a little, I haven't really watched tv in a long time! Maybe I will do that for a little while!!
