Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

So this week is a crazy one. It seems with my major that I rarely have midterm tests at the same time as everyone else - if I have tests at all. Well my midterm week has finally come. Thankfully one of the parts of the Spa project that was supposed to be due tomorrow along with the Midterm in Systems, has been moved to Monday. That takes my stress level down a notch :)

So it's a crazy week until Friday. I am staying up here for the day on Friday because that night is the Presentation at the Logan Tabernacle about how the Church is making some of it's chapels more Sustainable - or something like that. But it doesn't start until 7pm. Should be interesting. Then I'll head down to Ogden, I have an Eye Doctor Appt. on Saturday so we'll see how that goes, I haven't had my eyes checked since right before I left on my mission. Maybe new glasses will be in order.

Anyway, my inspiration for posting right was the title quote: "Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none." I have seen that quote pop up a lot lately and just now I saw a girl wearing a t-shirt with that quote on it so I had to google it and find out what it was from: it was written by William Shakespeare, "All's Well That Ends Well", Act 1 Scene 1. So there you go. Yay for Shakespeare! I think my favorites are Much Ado About Nothing and The Merchant of Venice. Although I do also enjoy Macbeth and Hamlet - I saw a performance of Hamlet by a group of Actors from The Royal Shakespeare Company. They did an awesome job!

Well I hope that you have a fantastic day.. as for me, I am going back to studying!

That was fast!

You know it has been too long since your last post when  you almost forget your own blog website address. I can't believe it has almost been a month since I last blogged! Not that I have a lot of faithful followers to keep updated, but still I like to blog and I need to be better about it! Although, I have been pretty good about keeping my pictures updated in Facebook, so that's something I guess.

Well the past month has been fabulous! So many good experiences and lots of laughs!

I think I will start with Conference Weekend. I went down to Payson to stay with my darling cousin. I went down on Thursday night after my last class and then Friday I went to school with her. That was so fun! I got to teach her kids a bit about Malaysia which I always enjoy! Then our Grandparents came down and we all went out to dinner. Then I left them and went to my Mission Reunion. It was AWESOME! I saw so many old companions and friends. A lot of the couples were there and of course, my first Mission President and his wife. It was fantastic. Haha we stayed there 'til about 11:30pm just talking and taking pictures.

The rest of the weekend I stayed with my cousin, we watched Conference, played games, and watched North & South - a fabulous mini series done by BBC.

The next weekend I went down to Provo Saturday night. We had a 'Sisters' dinner. I love those girls! Then I went to church with my cousin and then back up to Ogden. I spent the night there because I had a dermatologist appointment Monday morning.

The next week went by very fast, it was our Fall break so I only had three days of class. My cousin's school was also on Fall break so she came up to Logan to stay with me :) I took her out to Firehouse Pizza. It was so delicious! Then we watched Wives & Daughters - also done by BBC. On Saturday we finished Wives & Daughters then my cousin was gracious enough to come to the computer lab with me so I could finish up my Photoshop homework. Afterwards we went to Aggie Ice Cream :) We each got a scoop of Praline Pecan and just to be festive - a scoop of the orange oreo. Then I gave her a tour of campus :) It was such a beautiful day! Then we took a drive up Logan canyon. Sardine and Logan canyons are gorgeous this time of year. :)

We ended the night with home made Enchiladas and Much Ado About Nothing. If you couldn't guess, we were on a British Accent - Drama - Romance kick over the weekend and it was fabulous. ^_^

That Sunday was great too, we went to my church here and then drove to Ogden for an extended family dinner :)
