Schools Back From Summa!

Oh how I've missed Snow College. I can't even tell you... No seriously. I've MISSED this place! I love it here!

I am extremely freaked out about my work load... to be honest with you... I should probably not even be writing this post with how much I need to do!

The smell of desks, the new Library, and green grass just KILL me! I know I'm weird, I can accept that... but I love it!

I decided to get a private room this year, not because I don't love my old roommates but because I needed a change.

To be honest, I wish I did live closer to my old roommates! Everyone is over where I used to live... I feel like an outcast living in the boonies. LAME!

But really, school is going to be amazing this semester.

The Things I fear .

1st-

Spiders. I haven't always been so freaked out by them, in fact... I used to be able to kill them. But not anymore. They freaking scare me to death. And this picture doesn't help...

2nd-

Bunnies. (and other Small furry animals i.e. Hamsters, Ferrets, Gerbils) Thanks, Monty Python and the Holy Grail...

3rd-

Being Kidnapped. So I was 10 years old when 14 year old Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped. I was sooo scared, I used to wake up in the middle of the night and fall sleep by my parents bedroom door.

4th-

Public speaking. I know... Most everyone is scared of this.

5th-

Becoming an old maid... :) Yes, I DO realize I'm only 19 years old. But come on, there is always a possibility. (Funny side note. I was going to say, "End up alone" but when I typed in "Alone" in google images... I couldn't help but laugh at all the EMO pictures...)

6th-

Failure. I plan on doing my graduate program at the University of Utah. Earlier, I found out the Psychology program at the U is extremely difficult to get into. *GULP* What if I don't make it?

But Kevin W. Pearson, a member of the Seventy said this in his April 2009 General Conference talk, "Faith and fear cannot coexist. One gives way to the other. The simple fact is we all need to constantly build faith and overcome sources of destructive disbelief."

This is my challenge as I prepare to go to school. With prayer, scripture study, along with devotion to school work, I know I can succeed. :) This is also my challenge to you. To put it simply, I'm gonna quote "A Cinderella Story," how cheesy, right?! "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." Always do what you need to do, trust in the Lord, and work hard.
