"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."

I Love Weekends

~Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

Ah, I love weekends. Especially when I can go home for a few hours. :) Yesterday was such a good day. And driving back to Provo early on Sunday morning is always an enlightening experience.

Today there were beautiful dark grey clouds covering the sky. The roads are fairly clear and I turn my radio way up. I did see about six or seven cops and I was pretty freaked out about getting pulled over. But I was careful and even if I get pulled over-it is on my bucket list, so I wouldn't be TOO upset :)

Yesterday we had cleaning checks. I know, they're a good thing, but I don't like them. My apartment really isn't too messy-not at all messy compared to my dorm last year. But I still had to control my gag reflex while I wiped down the fridge... so nasty. I think it's more the thought of it than anything.

Church... my ward seems pretty nice, but two months in and I do not know, like, anyone. I actually only end up in my ward, like, every other week. From the two three-day weekends, the week I was sick, I swear there are others... and I won't be there next week cuz of a family thing. Which makes things interesting but also makes it hard to get used to the ward... and I need to meet with my bishop and get my ecclesiastical endorsement in the next two weeks...

Anyway, not much to say today. Just relaxing, writing in my journal, and watching TV episodes. I may just take a nap too... only problem is how they last three hours! Haha, better get some dinner and get to bed soon! We'll see...
