Where is the weekend?

It's barely Tuesday and I want it to be Saturday and not have anything to do. This week is going to be crazy from a book capture, to a midterm, to a football! Not to mention learning the last song for the James Bond show. I'm such a band geek. Sometimes I ask myself why did I have decide to do marching band here at BYU? Then I remember I don't have a life without band. 

To top off being busy this week I'm sick and I feel like crap. I'm not that sick that I have to be in bed all day but I wouldn't mind just sleeping all day long instead of going to class. Well just have to get through this week and then I will have my weekend. Oh wait....I have homework do this weekend. I'm already looking forward to Christmas break in December. During the semester you can never run away from homework. It will always find you no matter how fast you run from it. 

The only thing keeping me going is the fact I'm going to a concert this weekend up in Salt Lake City. Going to see Neon Trees, Grouplove, Imagine Dragons and some other bands. I'm really excited to see Grouplove. I LOVE their music. It should be a fun day. Also it will be nice to get away from Provo and go to a big city. Sometimes you need to get a the heck of town to just stay sane. In this case I need to get away so next week I don't flip out when I have another busy week. 

Enough of this. Sleep is calling my name. As Imagine Dragons would say "...I'm never changing who I am."

One day?

I was looking through my Pinterest and found this the other day....

It made me think that sometimes things happen in our life and we may not know why it happened but we just have to believe that it will all make sense one day. 

A couple of months ago I was going through that "why did this happen to me" phase. I was pretty much in a hole and couldn't get out of the confusion. I did the only thing that I could think about, just ignore it and move on. I have to say that was probably the best decision. I went on with life, enjoyed my summer, and tried to live everyday to it's fullest. 

But does everything really happen for a reason? I haven't gotten to that point in my life where I can say "that choice" was for the better. I can't even say that about my choice of college and I'm in my second year. I keep thinking in the back of my mind "what if" of basically every confusing situation I have been in. 

One thing is for sure though one day I will know why crappy things happen in life. Not tomorrow, or the next day, or next week but one day. In Doctrine and Covenants it says "He that is faithful and endureth shall overcome the world." (63:47) That is one of my favorite scriptures because it's so simple and just gets to the point. We can get through this crazy world with all the weird, hard, crazy and insane it throws at us. One it will all make sense. 

Okay I am off. Have to get some rest. As my roommate will tell me, "make good choices and remember who you are".

Most Intense Game Ever!

So it's almost 2:30 in the morning but I want to say what happened today. BYU played against U of U and it was definitely a game I wouldn't forgot. I usually don't get into football games and just want the game to be over but this game was different. I think I screamed so much to not wake up with a voice in the morning. I don't know what got into me. The final score was 24 to 21. Yes BYU lost but it was a good battle, oh wait I mean game. The final goal bounced off the post and we lost but that was after the Utah fans rushed onto the field twice when the game was technically not over. I feel bad for the kicker on that last kick. It bounced of the pole!!! BYU won't be playing Utah for another 3 years. I predict I won't be here by then but I might be wrong. Well besides that game everything was awesome. The halftime show was great. I actually like performing with Utah. Together we can create an amazing sound. The only thing I didn't like about today were the Utah fans and their vulgar remarks. The first tailgate we saw driving in the fans flipped us off. Seriously? Is a football game that important? It's just a game. Not to mention when we marched onto the field they booed us. But there were those fans who were more polite. This lady told us her favorite part of the game was the combined number. I do have to say though I wish we won but sometimes mistakes are done. Now that is enough for tonight. As a fellow band member would say "I appreciate your mistake." 

Starting a blog...letting the cyber world know who I am

So I have decided to start a blog. Who will read I don't know. Maybe someone who needs to hear something I saw will read. Goal for this blog: do at least 3 posts a week. Wish me luck. I also wanted to start this blog because I want to say things but I don't know who to say them too. Then why not tell the whole world?
So I'm in my third week of school and I already want the semester to be over. Isn't that how every college student feels? The past three weeks have consisted of endless ready, two papers, marching band practice that seems to go on forever, and waking up with not enough sleep. Although I was happy that school started up again but I do miss my summer adventures back in Oregon. Utah is for sure a different world than the good old northwest. Utah is just a desert with terrible drivers. I'm not joking. No one uses their blinkers here. Use your effing blinkers! Your car has them for a reason.
There's one thing I just want to get out in the open.....yes I'm a Mormon, Democrat and I support Obama. Lately, especially here in Utah, I feel like I'm a terrible person because of my political views. So what if my not a Republican. Not every Mormon leans toward the conservative side. When it comes to immigration, healthcare, education and taxes I lean towards the Democrat side. So what? Just because Mitt Romney is Mormon and I'm Mormon does not mean I have to vote for him. I simply don't agree with what he has to say.  I personally believe President Obama has done a lot for our country in the past four years and I strongly believe he can do even more in the next four years. From his healthcare plan, increasing the pell grant and helping young immigrants, he has helped a lot of people including me. Okay that is enough of my ranting. We will see what happens election day. As for now I'm done. As my roommate will say "remember who are, make good choices".
