"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."

New Invention?

~The worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to.

It's almost the weekend! I can't wait! I was on top of my homework this week... but I went through my class schedules for next week today and I have so much work! Somehow, I'll manage to do it though! I will.

So today I was going to post pictures from last weekend on here... but then I didn't feel like uploading them all to my computer and dealing with posting them and all that. I know, maybe it sounds a little lazy, but, ya, no excuse. I'll do it another day :) Less than 5 weeks of classes left this semester! And midterms will be over at the end of next week!

I do have to say though, that I'm a little jealous of everyone having spring break right about now. Curse you! Haha, no, it just really bothers me that I don't even get a Friday off or anything. And BYU started a week before everyone-we need a break too! It just irks me a little when I read about other people's awesome breaks on Facebook.

So, question. Headphones aren't a new thing, are they? Like, most people know what they are? Cuz I thought it was common knowledge. But I've started to second guess myself here at college. Today I was trying to study in the hallway between classes and this guy had his laptop open playing music... not for long, but it was weird to me! Or how I have to do my reading homework around when people are home... Not that I have anything against them or the people who are loud everywhere on campus (which is why I no longer study in the library) but it makes it hard to focus sometimes.

It's better than last year though. There was nowhere I could go anytime to get away from it all-library was loud, hallways were loud, outside was cold, the lobby had couples, my kitchen had couples, my roommate blasted music or chatted with her boyfriend on webcam... wow, I did not mean to complain like this today. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it!

On a happier note, today was amazing outside! It was so beautiful! And it smelt like summer on campus! I'm pretty excited! And I swear I smelled BBQ chicken and campfire walking home...
