"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Good Week :)

It's been a good week :) I love doing things with friends-and I feel happier and more motivated when I've done more than sit on my bed watching TV and reading all day. Ah, I miss seeing friends everyday at school. Haha, but at least when I see them now we have fun :)

Hmm... today I tried an energy drink for the first time. I don't even drink soda anymore! It was actually pretty good. I also tried flaming hot Cheetos for the first time-I know it's not a big change, but still... Haha, they weren't too bad but I don't normally have hot foods. I couldn't eat very many. But it is now on my to do list to try a new food a day. I used to really stick to that list... I'm hoping it will work for this :)

Let's see... I got a letter today informing me that I am now on probation for my New Century Scholarship. You wouldn't think it would be that difficult to stay above a 3.0 GPA... I don't know if it was BYU, if I was burnt out, or if I just didn't work hard enough but those were some bad grades last semester :/ Oh well, it's just probation. Haha, I still get funding for at least another semester-even on a study abroad. I am supposed to go to school in Utah to get the money, but I'm going to France through BYU!!!

Oh, and I love music! Sometimes it amazes me how it can change your attitude and make you feel better. Just a good beat or good lyrics can change the day-it's pretty awesome :)
