"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."

Conference Weekend :)

~We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are.
~Honore de Balzac

Alright, it's been a few days. And despite the fact that I really should be doing my homework... as always... I decided to blog. I had a wonderful weekend! Friday I went camping with my boyfriend, his siblings, and some friends. Camping has never been my favorite thing. I don't remember going when I was younger and my family's only gone two or three times in the last, well, as long as I can remember. So most of my experience has been from girl's camp and youth conference. It's always been fun. I just hate feeling dirty and having greasy hair and not wearing make-up when I feel like I should. Oh, and I have this thing about people washing their hands-especially when we don't have a real bathroom around.

But I have to admit, it was lots of fun. It was almost dark by the time go got there and we started a fire. Pretty much, I froze the entire time. But we ate and talked and told stories and got the people next to us to stop making noise at one in the morning and were visited by the cops and stayed up until three... But of course the best part was going with my boyfriend!

Saturday we went jeeping in the morning and listened to General Conference on our way home :) I love Conference weekend!!! And it was amazing this time-haha, as always. I'm excited to read them all again... alright, and the few I slept through cuz I don't sleep well camping. I got home from school today and listened to three talks!

Besides that I visited with my family and spent time with my boyfriend and dreaded coming back to school... haha, only seven more days of class though! Two more papers. Five finals. And SIX days off before Spring Semester! Ah, part of me can't believe it's already April. The other part of me feels like it's about time :)
