Daily Silver Linings

  • Today my English class got cancelled, so I got a wonderful break! 
  • I was actually in a cleaning mood today, and cleaned my room and the whole main level, it felt so wonderful!
  • The LDS Missionaries came to visit my roommate, and I really could feel the spirit. 
  • For background, I'm planning on serving an LDS mission, and I hope to turn my papers in in March! :) I'm so excited! Today I bought a Mini Preach my Gospel, and it's just so cute! Since it's small, it seems a much less intimidating read. 
  • Tonight I broke down and bought some Oreo's and oh, that was a wonderful treat!
  • There is only 8 days left until Spring break

Daily Silver Linings

The Storm Cloud~
The English Paper Fiasco.. 

So today, was a rough day. I had a huge English paper that was due, I had finished writing the paper, and had planned in about 15 minutes to go print it at the library. (My classes are scheduled really close together, otherwise I would've scheduled in more time) Anyway, I go to the library and I had forgotten my I.D. card! So I had to bus home to my apartment to try to use my roommates printer. It was slower than molasses.. So after waiting for my roommates printer for 10 minutes I quickly grabbed my I.D. card. I ran to the Student Center to print my paper, then I had to catch another bus to get to my English class. I finally got there 40 minutes late. I was almost in tears with how stressed I was. I did not feel like going to class..  I got into class, and there weren't any groups left. 

The Silver Lining~ My Merciful Teacher  

My teacher was so nice about everything! He even offered to do the peer edit on my paper. To my surprise, he decided to give everyone who showed up today extra credit! He was so kind and I felt lucky to have him edit my paper. So now I know exactly what he wants, so things turned out. 

Storm Cloud~ Getting Chewed Out for a Can of Pepsi 

Tonight I really wanted a Pepsi, so it turns out that our neighbor sells Pepsi and could get me a can for 50 cents! I was thrilled! I have a slight caffeine addiction... Anyway, My roommate went to go get me a can. Suddenly I got a phone call, and my friend Craig teasingly told me that I was going to get Osteoporosis one day if I didn't stop drinking caffeine. He called me out on it all. 

The Silver Lining~ Being Motivated to Kick a Bad Habit 

I told him I'm a pretty low energy person, and that I wouldn't mind a little Pepsi, he told me he'd get me an apple. I giggled and told him he didn't have to do that :) He invited me over and he said if I stop drinking caffeine that he'd take me on a date! So there you go! Silver lining, I really do need to kick that habit. 

More Silver Linings of the Day
  • Going to Zumba with my wonderful friend Kylie Johnson! 
  • Getting to wear a cute new shirt! I really feel like when you wear your favorite color you have a better day.
  • Listening to oldies while doing my homework
  • Getting a Good Hard Laugh~ Today my friend Conner was in a wheelchair, I felt terrible thinking something bad had happened to him! I asked him what was wrong?! He replied that he's always just wondered what it'd be like to ride in a wheel chair, so he'd borrowed it from a friend! He even had the bus driver pull out the wheel chair ramp! Oh, that kid made me laugh today... that stinker aha. 




My Doorknob is kinda creeping me out!

So, lately our apartment has been falling apart. We can only use the deadbolt now, because our keys won't work on the knob. At one point when the knob was locked, we all had to climb through the window. It was pretty comical, I just hoped no one would think we were breaking in. To solve this problem, we put duct tape over the doorknob. The other night while I was talking on the phone, I was staring at the knob and it creeped me out a little. Here is what I saw... 
Do you see the face? Hahaha
