:/

Guess what time it is?  That's right, 4-ish am.  Guess who's not sleeping?  That's right, me.  Guess what I'm doing?  That's right homework that was due a week ago.  Guess why?  That's right, cuz I'm pathetic.
This is my fifth semester in a row.  I even took a class over the Christmas holiday.  The plan--take 14 credits this term and do my externship in the spring.  First day of school, I was only registered for 9 credits.  Now, I only have 6.  It's really dumb.  I'm taking microbiology (class and lab), and health promotion methods.  3 classes should be easy breezy.  Guess what?  It's not.  I haven't been motivated or focused consistently at all--my heart is not in studying.  Midterms are this week.  Have I studied?  Nope.  I think I'm failing the health class...
I do not want to care about school.  I need to...but I am ready to throw in the towel and call it quits.  
No incentives I can think of are working...not a new phone, not gifts, not being halfway done, not getting a good grade out of it, nothing makes me want to care.  I need a supercharged genius clone or robot of myself to do my homework for me...simply put, the only reasons I care right now and don't drop out are that I'd have to return my grant money, I've been in school forever already so I should finish and get it over with sooner than later, I can't afford to fail another semester, and I don't have a fabulous fun job to go enjoy instead.

New Look

So this is how the blog is going to look for now...I am having problems with the background but I got the widths where I want them and I like the font and colors.  I'm having a terrible time being motivated for school...5 semesters in a row is not kosher with me.  So if I get a chance to making a new blog it'll look like this but have a different url and just be a lot more about me with a side of us or vice versa.  I really don't know.  Also, my mom's been wanting a nice picture of Clint and I for quite a while but even though she quit bugging me about it I finally have one for her! (Mom, just click on the pic, then right click and save the image).

Every semester we get a new ward directory and since it's been over a year since our first picture, we got a new one.  I <3 my hair color!  

 

T'sup?

So, I'm thinking about redoing our blog completely...as in trashing this one and starting all over with something fresh.  I've been debating for a long while if it's going to be written from my perspective only or me pretending to be both Clint and I.  He rarely posts and only once has it been his own idea.
I want to use a really cool font and have a very fluid template that I can mess with easily.  If you know how to do that, please comment or email me with tips!
What say you?

∑(Sarah*2010)...The Best Is Yet To Be...

When I was about ready to post this...a song from my playlist began with the preview tab I opened to see if the post looked how I wanted it to.  Please scroll down to the bottom and find Song #27.  It's called "This Too Shall Pass" from the awesome group OK Go.  Pay attention to the chorus.  The message of this song is so for me as I imagine what I want my life to become and what I need to do to create that life.

"Faith is for the future. 

Faith builds on the past but never longs to stay there.

Faith trusts that God has great things in store for each of us and that Christ truly is the “high priest of good things to come” (Hebrews 9:11). 

Keep your eyes on your dreams, however distant and far away. Live to see the miracles of repentance and forgiveness, of trust and divine love that will transform your life today, tomorrow, and forever. 

That is a New Year’s resolution I ask you to keep."

It's been an alright year...but definitely had me quizzical a lot.  

I truly hope and pray the best is yet to come.

Wait, what?!?

To all you good people sleeping right now like I should be---I was just looking through what I have left to do this term and to graduate.  For my own personal musing purposes...my school agenda for the next 10 days includes: *Baking: Practical & Written finals; *Stats: 1 Module, 1 Homework, 3 Quizzes, Project presentation & final draft; 1 final; *Externship: get one and make necessary arrangements!; *Job: get one! (why?  cuz Clint says you have to and if you're going to graduate in ~4 semesters, you better start saving up for the $1000 loan payments you plan on making to eliminate student loans in less than 3 years like you really want to do cuz 30 just sounds horrid. ok?  OK!)
So I could be finishing my time at BYU-Idaho next year this time...but it's more likely I'll stretch it till April or July 2012...How?
Winter 2011: 9-13 credits or just my MA externship (2 credits)
Spring 2011: MA externship (2 credits) if not done in Winter
Fall 2011: 5-14 credits (1 credit being internship for HS major)
Winter 2012: 12-14 credits (2 of which I could push to Spring term and then I'd graduate July 2012 instead)
I'm a lil panicky now...don't worry I'll be a lot panicky next year when the reality of having a degree after nearly 7 years is waiting around the bend to smack me in the face.  The cool thing is...I may actually graduate before I'm 25!  Wait, what?!?
