"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."

Provo Utah...

Alright, funny story. I had this whole blog written out and I published it and I went to my blog to see if the format was correct... and it wasn't there. So I tried again. Still not there.

Well, I was part of the BYU study abroad blog this fall. Normally I've posted to my blog more recently so my new post goes there. But the study abroad blog was most recent. Ya, I posted my personal post to a whole bunch of people I hardly know. Wonderful.

Then I was freaking out and deleted it before I saved it. So now I will attempt to write it all again :)

So, yes, I haven't written much lately. I'm thinking I'll write more when I'm in school and avoiding homework ;)

I've been packing for college this week. On the one hand, I want to get there and get started so I can finish. I want to feel productive that way. And it is kind of exciting that I get to start over in a way-with new roommates, new classes, a new calling, etc. But I'm gonna miss everyone at home and everything that comes with that.

I've honestly tried not to think too much about how I'm moving out in less than a week.

One of my friends on Facebook posted the following video a while ago. Yep, this is what I'm going back to...


Even though I don't agree with this quote, I thought it was funny here :)

~College is a place to keep warm between high school and an early marriage.
~George Gobel
