Post School Laziness

I will admit it right off the bat. It takes me longer to do some things than a lot of other people. For the past 10 years I have been chipping away at school. Some semesters I got straight A’s and others I’ve just flat out failed everything. This semester I got a C+, a C- and an E which is a failing grade.

Despite this imperfection of mine, I am very glad that I’ve been pushing through. University life is often compacted into 4 years. I’ve always known that couldn’t be me.

I work at my own pace, and that is okay. Life shouldn’t be hurried along, it should be enjoyed. I’m going to have to still finish my English and Math classes, and my psychology core classes. I know I’ll finish with time, so I’m not worried.

One thing I’m immensely grateful for is that I did not end up on academic probation after this semester. That is a pain to deal with. I have yet another chance to achieve a good standing, and I am optimistic about this. Academic probation is a pain because you have to do paperwork, academic counseling, and you are barred from financial aid until you do those two things. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that again. I’ve dealt with it before. I hate having to explain to people why I fail and why they should believe I’ll never do it again. My life is complicated. I’ll probably do a post on when I got academic probation sometime anyway though some time in the future. That is a pretty interesting story.

I’m going through my post school laziness, so I haven’t been writing. I don’t really feel like doing anything after a hard semester. I know if I go to long without writing I’ll regret it in the long run however. So, here I am. Have you ever had one of those days where even writing a Facebook post feels like you are dragging around a stone? It doesn’t have to be Facebook by the way. I was writing something yesterday on Facebook and I just wanted to backspace and quit so much, but I pushed through it. This is often what writing is like for me after a hardship. Like I said above, this one is after school.

I’m not going to write much today. I knew I had to write something though. You should read my previous posts. If you are reading this in the future, my new posts too. I’m not the best writer in the world, but I do what I can.

Mysterious Chocolate Cake

Today the first thing I did when I woke up was I washed my hair. I swear I have the most annoying hair in the world right now. It’s at that awkward length again.  

I had a pretty strange breakfast today. i had milk, chicken, and carmel, and cheddar popcorn from Costco. I am definitely NOT great at thinking up stuff to eat.

I read the sailor Moon manga for a while after this. My nieces were watching Redwall upstairs. If you haven’t read the book, or seen the TV show I totally recommend it.  I have seen it too many times, so it is actually really annoying to me now, but it really is a good show. My niece kayla watches it all the time.

Marcie, who usually picks me up every Sunday, and organizes the ward Family Home Evening activities every Monday, texted me at the last second earlier today before church and told me she couldn’t come. She then proceeded to warn me in advance that this is the way it is going to be for the next few weeks. I was really grateful to her for this.  I had to get a ride from my dad because it was already almost 12:40, and everyone had most likely left for church. We usually have to drive at least 10 minutes to get to the building to get to the Young Adult ward.

First hour was about faith, I also did some scripture reading.

Second hour was about Alma 30-32 in the Book of Mormon. I accidentally got too comfortable in class and fell asleep. This week this guy named Trent taught the class. Trent has a very loud voice and this is usually why I end up going to his class when he teaches in the second hour because it’s not easy to sleep through it when Trent is talking.

Third hour was sacrament meeting. I just did the usual. If you know what happens in an LDS sacrament meeting I don’t even need to explain. I have done that a few times before on my blog.

After church I got a ride from Michelle, she takes me to church sometimes too. I have probably mentioned her a few times.  We mostly talked about what our favorite things to do at 7 Peaks water park are.  

I watched more Sailor Moon for a while after this and then went upstairs and surfed facebook for a while on my phone. I saw this picture of a watermelon carving on there and showed it to my niece Natalie. Natalie got a real kick out of it, she had never seen one of those before. I showed her a few more off of Google image search after this.

After this I ate spaghetti for dinner and surfed the news section on Crunchyroll.  I then had a lazy half an hour before going to ward prayer. I was watching some dog sled competition documentary with my nieces, and sitting in weird positions on the couch. Sometimes I do this weird thing where I sit completely backwards on the couch with my feet in the air and stuff. It’s fun sitting the opposite way on the couch sometimes.  

I went to ward prayer after this. Someone sang a song and someone gave a spiritual thought. I did learn something today. There is this store called Winco over here, apparently they have real bees in the store that people just go there and get honey from. I thought that was interesting. I really like Winco, they have those big barrels of candy and stuff. I went there with my brother one time when the power went out once. I got to ride on a scooter for the first time and I bought some candy and pretzels over there.  I think it was back in May or something, before I came back to Xanga, and blogger and blogging in general. At the beginning of ward prayer I actually started to talk to one of my friends, but we got interrupted because it started. I didn't really get to talk to her, but I am planning on posting on her wall later. I'll probably do it after I post this.

We had this chocolate cake stuff that was kind of cool. It had like a layer of dark chocolate stuff on the top, and then there was the cake part, but the coolest part was the pudding like stuff that was inside. At first before you taste it it looks like part of the cake almost, or like the inside of a truffle. It tastes like truffle kind of, but has the texture of pudding. I thought it was really cool. I should have gotten a photo of it.  I was so busy enjoying it I didn’t even think about it.  They also had peanut butter and chocolate cookies. I wish I had the recipe for the cake.

I went home after I grabbed another one of those. My mom and dad were watching the finale of the bachelorette I think when I got home.  

Anyway, here I am now typing this. I think this is all for tonight. If anything else happens I'll edit.
