sundays!

happy sunday, everyone! i am loving sundays more and more. today there was a special broadcast to Eastern Idaho from the prophet and a few other people, and it was super good. it's been BEAUTIFUL these last couple days! it's fun to just lay in the sun and read scriptures with the roomies! this week, like all the other weeks, has flown by. i realize how lucky i am though, to absolutely love all the classes that i'm in. i'm finding that mon-wed i'm up till 1 or 2 doing homework, but then it gets less intense as the week goes, so that's good. i'm just starting to stress about grades a little bit... i've come to the realization i probably won't be getting an "a" in micro, which drastially diminishes my chances of getting into nursing. if i don't get into nursing, i really don't know what's going to happen. i've always been the kind of person that plans EVERYTHING to the minute... i have thousands of lists everywhere to keep me sane. but for this... i don't have a plan "b". i didn't think i'd need one. as time goes on, though, i realize more and more that my dream job is to be a surgeon. but there's no way i could do thirteen years of school. =/ but it's all good... as long as i'm doing the best i can, i just need faith to assure me that everything will go according to His plan.

anyways, this weekend was fun. friday was just homework, and i got to catch up on some TV. a few of my shows are over for the season, so that'll be a blessing in disguise because i won't be as distracted. satuday, i went to the temple with sam and ashlee, and we were there for a good three hours or so? it was amazing, though. i absolutely love going. after that, i went swimming with danika and her roomies. i forgot how much i loooooove swimming! i used to be way better than i am. but i'm definitely going to go more. it's not as hard on the body as running, and i hate running, so swimming definitely seems like the better option. after more homework, i watched part of the first iron man with samwise and tyler. even though it was super late, samwise and i made cookies and watched the office... i seriously love college to death. =]

i just wanted to post something that my BOM teacher pointed out to me in our last lesson. we were talking about why the BOM has so much talk about war.... in Rev. it talks about how Satan declared war on us, and how he and his demons are on earth, and how they're freaking out because they only have a short time to get to us. and us in the last days are at the most risk, because he's been practicing for thousands of years. if 1000 years=1 day in the sight of God, we calculated that our life span (80 years or so) is the equivalent of 2 1/2 hours in heaven's time... that's seriously nothing. that's why Heavenly Father knows us so well... we're only gone for 2 1/2 hours. 2 1/2 hours out of eternity, we have trials and the chance to learn. so we just need to stay strong! =]

that was just a cool insight that i wanted to share with everyone... i hope you maybe realized something. have an amazing sunday, everyone!
