improvement

Days are long. Its been fun over the last few days to catch up with some old friend. I feel like I'm growing up really fast just cause everyone around me is too. I turn two decades old in less then a month, how weird is that?!

Yesterday, work was work and not that exciting but I put up all my pictures in my room last night :) As indicated by the smiley face, it made a not so great night pretty fantastic. Lots of great memories with lots of really great people who are all very good at making me smile. Now I smile every time I see the pictures, absolutely fantastic!

Orchestra is super fun to take a breather in the middle of the week but its also a VERY long day on Wednesdays. We're playing such awesome pieces (Symphonie Fantastique 4th movement, Beethoven's 7th Symphony 2nd movement, Carmen Suite and Finlandia) that it TOTALLY makes up for it. Classical music is the best kind of music ever, bar nothing and bar no one. Show me another piece of music that requires more skill, delicacy and patience. HA! You can't can you? Classical music for the win.

I love my religion classes and I love the fact that my other classes input religious subjects that go along with our discussions. I had religious discussions in 3 classes! New Testament was great talking about how men can agree maybe not on ideas but principles bring people together and bring more harmonious ideas. Literary Criticism we talked about the family and the roles we have and how society has shifted both for the better in these roles and in some cases, for the worse. I loved reading last night a Devotional talk about how we need to remember that we can't save ourselves only through Christ. We do our best and it may not be everything that everyone else can do, just what I myself can do. American Humanities was awesome talked about the Atonement and how by taking the Sacrament represents us believing what Christ said and knowing that He is the only one that can save us, we can't, and we need to remember that otherwise life is just too overwhelming. I just wish that more people understood or were open to understanding that; it'd save them much heartache.

Life is good you know? Life and I wil be better somehow, just take it a day at a time. Thats all I can do. Strive for improvement not perfection, working on it.

Fare Thee Well
