"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."

My Mini Spring Break

~The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.
~Joseph Campbell

In honor of BYU's lacking a spring break, I took a day off school! Yes, a Tuesday. Yes, I only had one class that day anyway. And yes, I only went home. But it was such a good day and a half! Sometimes I hate the feeling of missing something I should be at... but sometimes it feels liberating!

I went home Monday afternoon. It was so windy that I ended up flying kites at the park with my boyfriend! I don't remember the last time I flew a kite. Thus, I was unprepared for when the ridiculously strong wind (which I had battled the hour drive home on the freeway) pulled the kite out of my hand effectively giving me a rope burn across my finger. A nice white line across the part where my finger bends. It stung for a while. But it was also a lot of fun once we got the smaller kite going!

Tuesday I slept in, talked to my sister, held my nephew, did some homework, and spent time with my boyfriend. And hated coming back to Provo even though I'll be home in two days for the whole weekend! It was SO worth going home! And now I only have two days left this weekend, three weeks left this semester. Haha, and I'm having such a hard time finding motivation. THIS is why BYU needs at least a three or four day weekend for a break. Weekends aren't enough. One day off isn't enough. AH! I think it will be something I forever resent.
