Well HI THERE school.

Today is the last day of summer...

It is so hard to accept, and comprehend. I guess I'll be comprehending it pretty well tomorrow when I wake up early to head off to school. I have never liked school, and I have been extremely envious of all the kids who just die hard love school. However, after thinking about the "positives" of going back to school..I came up with a couple. So here we go.

A. At least I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to college.
B. I know I am making the right decision by going to college.
C. I guess my brain will get more wrinkles and I'll get smarter.
D. I'm sure I will grow up a ton.

Last year at this time, I was scared to death to start my first year at Weber. I had NO IDEA what the whole "college experience" was like... I was so nervous, to say the least.
This year even though it will be my second year, I will be starting a new college. Even though I know SLCC is where I need to go right now, I am already dreading the long drive there and back. I honestly can't imagine driving like an hour to and from school.  I am also dreading the "unknown" After a semester of Weber, I could tell you where everything was in that campus. Now..it's just like starting over again. And I'm not a big fan of that...at all.

I am also not a big fan of accepting that my summer is O.V.E.R... Like seriously? This summer has gone by soo fast. I feel like this summer has been one of my favorites for many reasons. First off, I traveled a tooon. I went to NYC...which was fabulous. Then went on a cruise, visited Hatti, Puerto Rico, St. Maartin, and another island. Then went back to NYC. Flew to Utah on birthday..Then flew to Kansas City saw the Kansas city temple (which totally looks like a mini SLC temple-SO pretty!), visited family in Warnsburg, and then drove back home to the lovely Springfield Missouri! Where I spent a week laughing to death with Julie.. I love traveling. But traveling would not have been so great, if I didn't have my family by my side. We all bonded so much this summer, and I love it.

Throughout this summer, I did have some trials, some hard times, and issues that bothered me quite a bit that I had to try to work through. My testimony of prayers have strengthened even more this summer, and my testimony of the love that my Heavenly Father has for me and all his children. It is so comforting to know that throughout this semester as stressful as it will be, I can always turn to my Heavenly Father. 

Side Note: I have had a stinken awful sinus infection for almost 2 weeks now. I was hoping it would go away before school...tomorrow. But obviously not... hahha. I guess I'l be blowing my nose every 3 seconds tomorrow.. What a good first impression :)
