Alishka Babushka and her terrible, horrible, no good, very bad night

here are the 5 reasons for my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad night:

1. senior project proposal: REJECTED for more reasons then I want to go in to detail right now. It was awful. I was upset. Crying in my car driving to Lindon when...
2. my car had a flat tire. I drive to a gas station to fill it with air....and then i realize i probably shouldn't have tried to drive 3 blocks on a flat tire...i destroyed the tire by pulling the valve away from the tire itself which meant that
   
3. i had to change my tire. which i don't even know HOW to do. and...i don't have a jack. so i call people
4. two boys from my ward come to rescue me with a symphony chocolate bar. (they are awesome) and it's now 7:05 and I had to be at the studio that was 20 minutes away in 10 minutes.
5. so...i was 15 minutes late to teaching.
   

pretty much, the worst night ever. BUT the Lord does bring sunshine into my life still through inspiration during a blessing for a new senior project and he sent many people my way that had NO idea what I was going through but felt prompted to come visit me. It turned out to be pretty incredible, but it didn't start that way.

AND NOW!

Friday Fill-ins!

1. My blueprint for success includes faith, hope, and prayer.
2. Chocolate candy corn was the last candy I ate. But I'm about to eat my chocolate symphony bar!
3. The best facial moisturizer I've ever used is Mary Kay something or other.
4. Crying, chocolate and ice cream can be good therapy.
5. I'd like to tell you about my family.
6. Optimism is my strongest characteristic.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Ballet Showcase with my date!, tomorrow my plans include BYU football, studying for a midterm, and the jumping gym and Sunday, I want to make a pie!

Thankful Thursday

Today is a very thankful thursday!

1. I am thankful for a Heavenly Father who loves me

2. I am thankful for my super duper amazing roommates who have been with me every step of this hard, hard road.

3. I am thankful for a wonderful Bishop who gives amazing advice. My favorite bit that he gave me on Monday was this: "We can almost never see the promised land from where we are standing. We must first cross the desert."

4. I am thankful for the feelings of closure that happened last night. It was weird that they came so quickly, but I feel SO good about how things have ended between SwingKid and me. (or is it I? I can never remember?)

5. I am thankful for my parents who love me. Yay!!
