so its that time of the semester where we have to sign up for classes and i was so excited to start signing up for my major classes. the order you get to sign up is based off of how many credits you have thus far in school. i only have 30.5 so i don't sign up for 4 more days. so you may be wondering where the stress is coming from? well day by day i've been watching every class i want fill up before my eyes and have been realizing i have NO IDEA what i'm going to do next semester. some classes only have like 17 spots left total and i'm worried i won't get in or i'll have to try and beg the professors to let me add into them once the classes start, and all the times aren't working out, all the classes are running into each other and i'm worried that i won't know what to do....not fun!
ps: happy almost halloween!

waiting...and waiting...and waiting....
Oh goodness let's hit the highlights since my last post...
well nothing too big or important has happened. I've had many tests and am still doing well in school (knock on wood). I've noticed that i have a heavier work load than last year, but i'm handling it better than i did as a freshman. Probably due to my increased amount of time spent in the library...My cousin Scott went into the MTC yesterday to serve a full-time mission for two years for my church. He's serving in Cleavland, Ohio and i'm so excited for him. i've never had an older brother so he's the closest thing to one. it was so amazing to see him set apart for the work and to have one last goodbye dinner with him and his family on tuesday night. i know he's going to be an amazing missionary.
Here's my cousin Sean, me, and Elder McClellan at their house after his farewell on Sunday. I spent the weekend at their house in Lindon, it was so fun to hang out with all my extended family, they are such amazing people, i don't know if i'd survive away from my family in California if i didn't have them.
So why the title of this blog? well i'm getting very very anxious to say the least waiting to hear back from the elementary education program. next semester class sign-ups start on monday and they never said when i'd hear back or how just that it would be at the end of October. i should probably go in and ask, but i mean they have to let people know before they sign up for classes right! i have my schedule planned for next semester as if i'm starting, i'm just trying to throw out good thoughts into the universe.
i'm also waiting to see my daddy on sunday! he currently is fishing in yellowstone with two of his best friends and will be here saturday night/sunday i'll only get to see him on sunday but i am so excited! it has been about two month since i've seen any member of my family and it will be another 32 days or month, until i go home and see them for thanksgiving. (if you can't tell already i love my family!) :) so i can't wait to see him even if its only for a day.
life is going well, i'm grateful for all my blessings.

Reunion!
Best moment of my life! Today was the reunion of the besties (ash, hil, karissa, stacy bex, and i) and it was wonderful! i forgot how much i truly love those girls and how being with them makes me so happy. it was so great to see becca again! we haven't seen her since her wedding reception and to hear about her life was so fun! ah i adore her! and it was so great to see bryan her husband and her parents, they are both wonderful. We went to Costa Vida, just us girls, and talked for about an hour and a half, it was so fun to hear about married life, and to girl talk with her, then we went to BYU bookstore (where we met up with bry and her parents) :) and looked around. ah, words cannot explain how great it was to be with them again, they are my family here and i love them so much! there will be pictures on facebook soon of our reunion. its funny how even if we're only together for a couple hours we still manage to take a million pictures. :)
life has been going well i guess, i miss my family, i talked to blake for about twenty minutes and he was telling me all about second grade, and his class, his teacher, his friends, his halloween costume, and that he needs new shoes :) i adore that little boy so much and the only thing i hate about being in college is that i don't get to watch my little siblings grow up. i feel like i miss so much of their lives.
school moves on as always, i'm getting anxious waiting to find out about the el ed program! my dad comes to utah in two weeks and i'm so excited for a little bit of home, even if i only get to see him for a day because the only reason he's coming is because he is going fishing with his buddies in yellowstone for four days...oh dad
love from p-town

Just Thinking...
So you know those moments when you got back through old pictures, or read old journals and you remember those moments in your life that have past you by? whether they were silly fights, amazing random nights, a special moment with someone who meant everything to you in that moment, but you haven't seen or talked to in forever? As i've been looking back on my life, mostly high school, but i guess this would be applicable to my last year in college, it amazes me how many amazing moments i have been blessed with. amazing friends, the perfect night, conversations that i never wanted to end. its amazing looking back, i have been so blessed. Moments are timeless, most of the best moments in your life you don't realize until they have already passed you by, but sometimes there are moments that come and you realize that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever, you will always remember it as the moment something changed, or something wonderful happened. i think i've had less of these moments as i've gone through my life currently, but i love to reflect on the past and realize how wonderful they were. i'm glad i wrote about them, and have taken too many pictures, because honestly, the best moments you should never regret.
as i looked back on my life, i found two things i wrote that i just love. i wrote them my junior year in high school (we had a project where we had to write poems, and it was my favorite thing i've ever done in school, to write about my inner thoughts and put them on paper in such a unique way was so thereputic for me) and i totally forgot about them till now. i don't normally like to share things i write because usually they are very close to my heart or i get embarrassed, but i figured what the heck, why not share a little of myself :)
For this first one we had to pick an emotion, i chose love, and describe what it would look like, taste like, smell like etc.
Love...
it has the color of a dark sky with white shining stars
it tastes of chapstick and mint gum
it smells of cologne and fresh laundry
it has kind eyes that understand, strong arms to protect you, and hands that fit yours perfectly
it sounds of "i love you" "you're beautiful" and "i'll always be here when you need me"
it feels like goosebumps on your skin, butterflies in your stomach, and a warmth that starts at your toes and fills your entire body
Love.
For this second one, we have to write a poem with the title "These i have loved" we could do anything with it, it just had to fit the title - i loved doing this one because it allowed me to think of my favorite little things in life that often go unnoticed, but make me so happy
"These I Have Loved"
the laughter of little kids and the innocence reflected in their eyes
the smell of Christmas time, and the constant spirit of giving
the feeling after i finish a drawing, knowing how much time and effort i put into it, and that in the end, it was all worth it
the taste of pink jelly beans, and the color they turn my tongue
long conversations with friends that never seem to end
looking at someone, and realizing how much you love them, and feeling their love for you
spending late nights stargazing in the arms of someone who cares
being wrapped in a blanket by a fire with a warm cup of coco in your hands
the feeling of complete happiness that comes when you laugh
the smell of rain and the joy of jumping through puddles
the feeling of piano keys on my fingers and the music i make
these things i have loved, the smells, the sounds, the emotions, and the joys that make life worth living.

Living Vicariously Through the Friends...
So as fall rolls on here at the Y it brings new crushes and new relationships and all the wonderful things that go along with it. First date, first hand hold, first kiss...well, this isn't my lot in life currently, but this would be the place that a couple of my lucky friends are currently in. Over the last few days i've seen first hand holds, heard about first kisses at about 1 in the morning :) its all so fun and so wonderful and i couldn't be more happy for these girls in my life. I know that one day it'll be my turn, so until then i just live vicariously through them and am so happy for them, and love being here every step of the way :)
conference tomorrow! i can't wait!
love,
j
