Well, it was an interesting day to say the least. I had an A&P test, which I originally thought was killer, but ended up only missing one question. YAY for being smart! Can I tell you what cholinergic versus adrenergic, not really sure.... haha. I guess I'll be figuring that out sooner or later.
It snowed today, like a freaking blizzard snow. It was nice, only I'm sooo ready for summer. Ready for pool parties, laying out, and NO SCHOOL! The sad part of that is that I just started school and it's the dead middle of winter. BOOOO. Oh well, spring and summer will be here soon enough.
So, here's my issues for this week: I can't focus on school. I have no idea why, but all I want to do anymore is be out with my friends. I think it's a little bit irresponsible, but I'm 20 years old. I feel like I can make mistakes, even if they are ones I know are wrong and I intentionally make the decisions to do them. I'll make up for them when I'm older. You're only young once, ya know...
Weighed in today because of the snow! Lost another pound! yayyyyyy! Getting ready for summer!
Hoping that Prince Charming shows up soon, I'm getting a little impatient.
Song of the Day: There's TWO! and both Brantley Gilbert again. Sorry, I just LOVE him! Saving Amy; & You Promised. (Not relative, just meaningful songs.)
You know you love me,
GG

We were young and wild, hanging out too late at night...
Girl, I love you crazy. It comes so easy after all we had. I can love with all my heart, but the hardest part is, I just can't love you back. Not the song of the day, but a pretty powerful and relative song to my life. Heart breaks HURT. And, I don't mean just a little bit. They tend to hurt alot.
I'm finally free from being bound to heart break. I have finally let go of everything and realize that God has a plan for my life. The pain and the overpowering thoughts were holding me back from what I really want in life.
Speaking of what people want in life, My world religions class is starting to get to me. We are covering Hinduism. They believe some crazy things, but they have hit the nail on the head when it comes to what people want versus what people really want. Alot of times people believe that power, success, money, pleasure, etc. is what life is all about. However, life is more than that. Life is about love, and joy and all the things in life that you can't pay for. I love that a class I was dreading is turning out to be very positive for me.
Oh, Great News! I lost 5.3 pounds last week! I was super happy. I hope I do just as well this week! It's amazing how much better you body works when you feed it healthy food and not just junk (for lack of a better term...).
Met some really great people this weekend. SHOUT OUT to you guys!
That's about all that's going on in my life right now....
OHHHH, Song of the day is an incredible song; Freshman Year; Brantley Gilbert. It makes me smile REALLY big.
You know you love me,

Maybe I'm a dreamer...
Maybe it's time for a change....
So, I just took on a whole new goal in life. Weight-Loss. I say that as if I've never done this before. (I clearly have...) Anyway, I started Jenny Craig on Saturday morning. It's an interesting diet, and I must say, I really like it. (so far, at least.) I believe it's finally time for me to do something for myself. I deserve to live the life I've always wanted for myself, skinny. I guess I can give an update every friday at weigh-in. That way, I can see my progress on here as well as let you guys know.
So, something has really been bothering me lately, and I figured I would share. A friend of mine's sister lost her boyfriend recently. I'm not sure of the whole situation, but that really has to be hard. I can't even imagine what that would be like. This whole situation has really got me thinking about my own life and relationships. As sad as this is, people aren't here forever. I have started evaluating my friendships, and have decided that I really need to start putting in more effort. I love everyone in my life and couldn't imagine losing one, especially I had not treated them like I loved them.
I might be moving out earlier than expected! I have to see if things come through for me, so, we shall see. I'm pretty excited. I will enjoy being on my own, i believe.
School's back in; BOOOOO. I have tons of homework, already. Guess I outta get some sleep so I can do it all tomorrow.

I gotta thank the wrongs that led me to a love so strong...
Well, It's a new year. Looking back, I had many adventures, ups and downs, people coming in and out of my life. Wow, 2010, I can most likely say, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
Today, I have a smile on my face. I know in my heart that I am a strong, beautiful person that can accomplish anything I set my mind to. I guess these days that's the mindset you have to have to get anywhere in life.
Lesson for today: It doesn't really matter what a person really looks like. It's more of the way people carry themself, confidence being key. People can tell when others are down on themselves just by looking at them. I've learned and somewhat taught myself that even if it's a fake confidence, people notice a difference in you.
I miss being five years old. Nothing to worry about except who got to be star student and the line leader the next day in class. Man, those were the days. Sometimes I wish I could go back, but I kinda like the way I turned out. :)
Sorry, but this one is going to be a little short. I start back to school thursday. Gotta clean out my room and start attempting to pack.

It's the climb...
I can't get you out of the sunshine, I can't get you out of rain...
Lesson Learned this week: Sometimes, you just have to cry and cry and cry. It makes everything better.
I thank God every day for second chances. We all need them, and if any one understands this, it's me. People screw up in life. It's a simple fact. And, honestly, I would hate to live in a world when everything everyone did was right. It's like we would all be walking robots. Second chances always brings me back to the lesson in the last blog- Can't appreciate good times if you've never experienced the bad times.
I try to find my purpose in life, ALOT. I haven't exactly figured it out yet; but, I'm pretty sure it has to do with helping someone out. I mean, I am going to school to be a nurse. But, I also think it might be more than that. I want to have an effect on every person I meet. (A positive one, of course.) Which leads to another thing...
Lesson Learned #2: You can't please everyone. It's a hard one to accept, but definitely TRUE. Because everyone is different, it is impossible to please everyone at once. I'm trying harder now to make decisions for myself, not because someone or some people want me to. I feel like my whole life I have made decisions for someone else; now it's time for me to grow up and make them for myself.
I'm back to the valley, making the trek up the mountain. It's been a bumpy ride this time, for sure. If you asked me, I would say I'm not excited about the climb back up the mountain... But, It's the way life works out sometimes. I do however feel like I am changing my life for the better. Everytime I get in the valley is like a fresh new start, which is quite nice.
School starts back next week. Not sure how I feel about it exactly. I'm ready to move on with school but, I have alot of work still left. Gotta start somewhere I guess.
I'm so happy tomorrow is Friday and I'm off work. :)
Right now, I have to admit: I'm listening to Justin Bieber; I love "One Less Lonely Girl". I guess this one can be the song of the day.
That's all I got for today.

GG

We're only human here, after all....
So, it's a brand new day and close to a brand new year. And because it's close to a new year, I feel the need to wrap up this year by saying a few things:
1. To all the people who entered my life, I couldn't be happier that you did. Each and every one of you are amazing people and I wouldn't trade you for the world. I know some of you and I have had many ups and downs, but God is shaping our relationships because he knows what we need and desire in this world. You have all made me so happy with life; a happiness you can't even imagine. THANK YOU!
2. To all the people who exited my life: I am glad you were a part of my life. No matter what the circumstances are, you left an imprint on me and shaped my life into what it is now. I am glad God put you into my life.
3. To my best friends: You guys never cease to amaze me with how much you stand by me and support me. I don't know if I could have done some of the things I have without each and every one of you this year. From moving schools to losing a close friend to just helping me keep my head up during the hard times, you guys are AMAZING. And just know, that I hope that I have given you the same feelings inside that you have given me.
4. To my family: Thanks for putting up with me through all the things that have happened in the year. I don't know if I could have made it without you.
2010 was a spectacular year and quite a miserable year all at the same time. But I have come to realize that God puts trials in our lives to help us grow as people and mature into something great. You can't expect everything to be all hunky-dory all the time. Going through a tough time makes you appreciate when you finally do get to the top of the mountain.
I'm ready to see what 2011 brings. Ready for new challenges, friends, and maybe love.
UPDATE:
1. Last day at Macy's was Wednesday. I throughly enjoyed working there as well as the people I met. I'm currently looking again, hopefully something will come up soon.
2. School is still out, ended up with a 3.79 for the semester. AHHH!
3. So happy to have my friends back home.
4. No loves. Hoping God brings the right one soon. :)
There's some insight into my life.
Today's song: Come On, Green River Ordinance. :)

Hey, It's me again...
So, I know it's been a while since I posted last; I'm trying to get better. I've had my ups and downs within the last few weeks. There are some FANTASTIC things going on in my life right now, and there are some no-so-great things too. I'm definitely keeping my head up. Just to keep those of you following me informed, Here's the lists of some of the goods. :)
FANTASTICS:
1. I found a jobbbb! Finally, after a long struggle, I am finally employed. It's not exactly the job I wanted but, I am still working on finding more options.
2. I take my last two finals on Monday. HALLELUAH! (And, I think I might have a 4.0!!!)
3. My braces are coming off Tuesday. I'm so excited that i'm barely sleeping at night.
4. I'm happy being single. I never thought I would say that, but it is a good feeling.
5. Christmas is soo soon! I can't wait. FAVORITE HOLIDAY!
So, I've finally made some decisions for myself. (I'm pretty pleased with myself, haha.) First, I will not settle on dating someone I know is wrong for me. I also will not date anyone who treats me anything less than what I deserve. I've done this wayyy too long and it's time for a change. Second, I know God has a perfect plan for my life, and I have finally stopped being a control freak and given it to him. He knows what I want, and will give me exactly what I desire and need in my life. I'm learning to trust him. It's a day to day process but, so far, IT'S AMAZING! Third, I need to focus on school like I did this semester, every semester. It's such a nice feeling to be at the end of the semester and not have to stress about grades.
Still missing my friends at State, alot. It's really hard being away from my support system. I guess that's what Facebook and cell phones are for. I'm so happy they will be home soon. :)
New favorite Song: Me Again, Uncle Kracker. - he actually has a softer side, and a heart. AMAZING song. Sorta explains what I am going through. (This is where the title comes from...)
Just learning to keep my head up; As put by another: Nothing puts your problems into perspective like passing a car engulfed in flames on your morning commute. "Yeah this meeting is gonna suck, but at least I'm not on fire.
You know you love me,
GG
