"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."

Back to School

~If you're angry at a loved one, hug that person. And mean it. You may not want to hug - which is all the more reason to do so. It's hard to stay angry when someone shows they love you, and that's precisely what happens when we hug each other.
~Walter Anderson

Back to school... My classes start tomorrow. I'm not terribly excited. I think it's combined with the fact that I had a break-which made me realize how nice it was not to have school-and that I still don't even know if I passed my classes from last semester and that I have new roommates I don't know and that I miss my boyfriend...

I am excited about only having two classes-but they're two hours each and they're in the basement of the same building. I'm excited about it getting warmer so I can sit outside-but then it's been cold. Snow today!? Really?! I swear I was wearing shorts the second week of April last year. I wore them to finals. But that's Utah now, isn't it?

Had a pretty good day. Got to spend some time talking to my sister-I miss talking to her-especially without all the children interrupting and having to be corrected and whatnot. I also got to see my nephew-so cute! Got to hang out with a friend from high school who I don't see very often anymore. And then I had about two hours with my boyfriend before I had to come back... :(

It was so nice to have a few days without worrying that I was supposed to be doing homework every time I had a free minute. School isn't just school. It's a full-time all-consuming annoyance that interrupts every minute of your life! That sounds a little dramatic... haha, but it's kind of true...
