Not Cool Robert Frost!

Why do I never post anymore? I think I miss it so I think I'll try to find more time to devote to this here web log.  In any case, today has been a great day.  I'm probably going to attribute it to the fact that I spent the best dollar of my life on an alarm clock app last night.  Sleep is very dear to me but unfortunately, I abuse it all too often.  This app may be saving my sleep though.  Essentially, it uses the accelerometer in your phone and it tracks roughly when you are in which stages of sleep.  You set the alarm to wake you during a half hour period and it will go off when you are in the lightest stage of sleep which is when your body naturally wakes up.  IT WORKED!  Seriously, I'm hooked.  And it tracks and graphs your sleep over time so you can make good sleeping habits.  Quite the useful tool for a sleep deprived college student.

So after I woke up refreshed, I took a stupid calc test and then went to two more classes and returned home to find 3 of my roommates and their (basically) boyfriends over.  What a good afternoon!  Then my other roommates got back and we painted nails and hung out with the boys next door and just had a grand afternoon.  Spring Break must be starting tomorrow because everyone is way too happy (actually I take that back, I wish we were all this happy all of the time).

It's just been a great day.  I even got to watch 3 short TED talks!  And we know how much I love TED talks.  They are my favorite.  I was led to this pep talk from Kid President on the TED website and thought I'd share-


This kid is seriously the cutest.  "Not cool Robert Frost!"  If you have a few minutes to spare I would highly recommend watching more of his videos.  They'll just make you happy.

Life is just so fun right now.  To top off my good happy feelings right now, I just got an email that I had a package downstairs and it was my mom's monthly package with the Ensign.  How sweet is she??  And it had two packs of gum!  My life is awesome.  Oh and I'm going with my friend and the kids she nanny's to Disney on Ice tonight... There's a first time for everything!  Haha.  Good times.

Plus- I leave tomorrow for Macklemore in St. George and then on to Vegas on Saturday to stay with my pledge class until Tuesday.  Spring Break here I come!

I'm loving life.  It's a beautiful thing.  Yeah, it has it's downs (last week anyone? BAD week) but it's days like these that remind me why I'm here and that help me to see the wonderful things life has to offer.

p.s.  How did I get so lucky as to live with these 6 incredible girls?  They are some of my closest friends and I would be nothing without them.  Love them to the moon and back.
