Wednesday's child is full of woe

I learned a lot this week.

I think i'll organize with bullet statements and pictures.

• College is good. I started my second year of college last week. Crazy! I'm on my way to being a grown-up! I think that it's going to be a semester. I'm taking fairly easy classes (my math class may prove harder than I'm expecting...so I guess I better be ready). I am going to learn a lot--about how to be a functioning adult, how to be a good teacher, and how to be a well-rounded person.

• WAACJAMM is reunited!! I have missed these girls more than I thought (and I missed them to the moon and back)! Living with them is a dream come true! I love waking up to their shining faces every morning, and seeing their smiles when I come home causes my heart to fill with Christmas Cheer! I think there are a lot of great people at Utah State University, but I have landed the very, very best. I am so grateful that these girls are the ones I'm going to have such great memories with, and that our kids will call each other aunts and stuff. It's what best friends do.

• Lagoon is 'What Fun Is'. I have 7 new best friends because of this summer. I have had such a fun time singing and dancing and sweating and yelling. I think there are a lot of people who say they have the best summer job, but I I did. Okay, I probably didn't, but it was perfect for me! Doing what I love and getting paid, and being with my best friends?! Done. And it is done. And I'm rather sad. I know I'll be able to see most of them fairly regularly, and I am happy about that. 

• I am officially Wednesday Addams in Monster Classics at Lagoon! I am so excited. I think it'll be a great chance for me to create a character, and to do something original. Plus, I get to be serious all the time. That's going to be hard. But I think I can do it. Also, driving from Logan to Farmington and back every day is HARD. I'm exhausted, but I'm having the time of my life every day, and it's totally worth it! HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEN!! I mean...happy halloween (no emotion).

• I had a slap in the face today. This whole, "not going to church thing" is killing me. I'm being a SLACKER. Satan knows me too well. He knows I'm lazy people, he knows I'm lazy! Anyway, long story short...I've been pulling the whole, "I'm fine where I am, I'm still spiritually strong, blah, blah, blah." WRONG. I need to be continuously working towards spiritual growth and being a good example to everyone no matter where I am. 
• There's a boy that I know. Let's call him Joe. I've gotten to know Joe very well this summer. At first, he annoyed the crap out of me, and I didn't really want to be friends with him. Then I got to know him, and I started to like him (of course). He is such an amazing boy, who was a little lost. He had some hard times, harsh language, and he was (still may be) in love with a girl. A girl that is gorgeous, and PSYCHO. But, he thinks she's the perfect girl. Why am I telling you this, you ask? Well, it has something to do with the church situation. Because Joe wasn't very...active, I (for some idiotic reason) didn't think I needed to play up the Mormon thing. Not that I do anyway, but I...just didn't bring up Gospel topics as openly when Joe was around, and I didn't think about being a CONSTANT example. Come to find out, Joe is planning on serving a mission, and that he has been fasting and preparing to go. I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT! He is changing (I think it's partly because of "Ms. Perfect", but we'll see if I can get it out of him) and becoming an even better person than he already is. He's coming to Christ. All of a sudden, I heard a resounding, "GET IT TOGETHER, AMELIA!" I want to be an example to Joe of a good Mormon and a good person in general. Maybe it'll make him fall in love with me. That's the goal. We'll see!

That's all for now!
