Cake has been eaten, gifts were given and opened, and much fun was had. Now what???
Now my life gets cRaZy!!!
Last night I had a crazy party with my Twin J. It was a blast and SO many of my friends came to see me! Seriously, most of Twin J's friends showed up much later in the evening, however my friends came in my numbers throughout the night. I saw everyone from CPM, to BC, BKT, and TCK. I also saw old friends from high school, my old neighbor, made new friends, and gave out my phone number to a boy. ;) It was successful party. I love my birthday!! I enjoy seeing people I know and care about. I love it when they come to see me and play with me. I have awesome friends. I really, truly do. It was wonderful.
Now...starts my life of super craziness. I have a show in 2 weeks. We are on stage in exactly one week. During that time I have to teach the ballet class I have been assisting for my methodology class, and write and turn in a research paper for that class as well. Oh yeah, I also get to continue practicing for my piano class, studying physical science, and trying to have a social life. uh-huh right. And as CPM told me, try not to have a melt down like last semester. We'll see how that goes. :P
And now I have to prepare myself to loose an hour...this could be bad, very, very bad. Pray that I don't die k? Much love to all y'all and thanks for the birthday wishes!!! :)

(surprising I know)...so my one little wish today is that you, dear readers, would tell me of your existence. If you don't want to, that's okay...but I would love to meet the people who read about my life. Thank you in advnace!!!

more weird dreams
The other day I had a really weird dream. It had Will and Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince of Bel Air in it. Along with my sister B, mom, superman, and coworker L. It was so odd. This is what I remember from my dream:
My mom and sister B are out shopping for...something. I think it had to do with Prom, and they were also going to get fun food for our girl's night out. So in my dream I was good friends with Will an Superman. So the other thing i remember in this dream is that Uncle Phil was the bad guy. And this bad guy tried to do something to me, exactly what I am not sure. So Will is in a pickle because it's his uncle, and then Superman comes in trying to help the next thing I know is somehow I am bleeding somewhere on my back, and I've thrown my three-hole punch from work at the uncle. It's miraculously knocked him out and Will is attending to him, but before he did that he told me that it was okay that I had knocked out his uncle.
Superman comes running towards me...this next part is hazy. Then Coworker L is using the Clorox wipes to clean up the blood that is on my back. The next thing I remember is my mom and Sister B are back.

It is mandatory to grow old, but it is optional to grow up.
This is how my newly called and sustained stake president opened up his talk. He is an amazing man. I loved what he had to say and I think he is going to do many and great things for our stake.
Yesterday was a crappy day. It had it's moments of happiness that shone through the clouds of crappy-ness, but for the most part it wasn't a good day. Today, however, was much, much better. (that seems like a lot of commas in one sentence. oh well.)
I woke up this morning invigorated at the day that I had ahead of myself. I made myself some French toast...mmmm....I love French toast. :)
I got ready with my roommates and my hair actually turned out how I imagined it would and it looked so good with my cute suit coat that I decided to wear today. I looked really cute if I do say so myself. ;) Then I resigned myself to sitting in a hard blue chair in the Smith Fieldhouse on campus for two hours. However, the words of wisdom spoke to me was worth the soreness given to me by the "blue seats."
After our new Stake Presidency bore their testimonies we had the opportunity to hear from Elder Osguthorpe speak to us on charity. He referenced Moroni 7:47 where it says, "But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him."
He told of three enemies of charity: Self-doubt, self-indulgence, and self-absorption. The part that hit me the hardest was the enemy of charity that is self-doubt. He said that we all have self-doubt at times, which many times leads us to giving up. He said that things can't get worse when we try to do better. We can't do any worse than zero! He said many other things, that really struck to my heart. I realized that this self-doubt is very much something I have at times. Sometimes I think that by trying to do better and achieve those things I want I will fail...so I do not try. However, Elder Osguthorpe is so right in saying how can things get worse? I mean really...if do not try I will be at zero. If I try and fail, I will be at zero and therefore will be no worse than if had not tried at all. However, with trying there always comes the chance that something good will happen! Some window or door will open because of my actions and then I will be better off. How cool is that? I CAN TAKE CONTROL OF MY LIFE! And it can be everything I have ever dreamed it will be. It will take time, but I know that everything that has been promised to me will come true. I know it will, and today's talks were there to remind me of that.
Elder L. Tom Perry stood after that and spoke to us; what an amazing witness of the Savior he is! He spoke to us of the priesthood and the succession that happens in our church. He shared how President Monson was set apart, and that was really cool to hear about that experience. He's such a good man with a strong testimony and I loved hearing from him. I am much more excited about General Conference...and it will be here in a month! I know that it is going to be amazing and full of spiritual goodness that it's hard to contain my excitement. :-D
OH! and something I almost forgot...Sister Julie B. Beck is speaking to the Young Single Adults today in a CES fireside. I love Sister Beck and her words of wisdom always are exactly what I need to hear, so tonight's fireside should be one full of gold nuggets.
Life is good. There is sun shining through my window. I will take control of my life and it will be everything I have dreamed.

Frustration does not lead to Production
Yuck. Today started out horrible. I got very frustrated very quickly. This mostly was at rehearsal. There is one specific company member who always thinks she's right, and sometimes she is. But because sometimes she is, she thinks she always is. However, with my red streak that I have running through my yellow soul I many times clash heads with her. This is what led to my frustration this morning. It did not lead to much production, which is even more frustrating.
THEN i had a rib (i think) pop out of place this morning. It hurt like hell. It was awful. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move, and then I cried because it hurt so bad which made it even worse because when you cry you don't breathe normal. I was finally able to sit still and breathe slowly and I felt okay. I couldn't move, lying down hurt, and I just wanted to cry but had to try not to because it hurt so bad. Almost an hour later I stood up to mark through some new choreography and something moved (I don't know what, I couldn't really tell that it moved) and I was able to breathe normal, and dance again! However, the muscle where that rib is was very tender the rest of hte morning. I think the rib isn't completely back in place because it hurts in the back now, but at least I can breathe unlike when it was so out in the front. I wouldn't wish that kind of pain on anyone. It was honestly horrible.
So after all that ended at 12:30 I made my way to upper campus to record some parts of my piano assignment, and go to a piano recital. The recital went well and it lent to some creative juices for me to create a story line/plot of my senior project. I am somewhat excited about it and now just need to find the right music for it. I got to my apartment at like 3:20, I quickly changed into a skirt and then walked back up to campus for Stake Conference. It was very good and I am renewed. The general session tomorrow should be amazing seeing as Elder L. Tom Perry is going to be in attendance. I am SO excited for that! He is amazing and I love his talks, and to think he'll be there to speak to me! Hurray, hurray!
I then made my way home, and I'm mad at the weather because it has turned so cold again. Sigh...thus the way March works. Hopefully it gets warm again for my birthday...it better.....
Now hear I sit. Trying not to get frustrated, cry, or be mad at the world. I have many things to be thankful for and to be happy about. I am being productive and doing my homework so I don't die next week. I can do this...I can do this.... I can do this....
