Last day of January

Hi all,
I just realized that today is the very last day of January which makes me so excited, as the month I struggle with the most comes to the end, I will say this years January wasn't as bad as they have been in the past. This January I got to spend time with my boyfriend, I started playing Basketball again, and I am in school and spring is on its way.
I decided I like February cause the valentines colors are fun and bright and cheery, and I also like that it is starting to stay lighter a little bit longer which is always a good thing.
You know, I love the adventures of new beginnings, I love the excitement of what is going to happen next. I find that life has a way of giving out the best surprises. I love those moments in my life. A friend of mine and I were talking to day about the surprises of life and we made an observation that I believe to be true in almost everyone lives and that observation is this: When you have a horrible morning, you sleep through your alarm clock, burn your toast that you were going to eat for breakfast, then rush out of the house and realize you never took of your pj shirt  and rush back in and switch shirts and then rush out of your house to realize you get to scrap the ice off of your car windows. Then all day long you try to play catch up and as hard as you try you just cannot seem to, it seems on those types of days there seems to be a sweet ending.
Take one day for me last week, I got up late (I slept through my alarm a few times more than I should have) Then I throw my hair in a pony tail and through on some clothes run outside to get in my car and I have to scrap the windows. I then obey the speed limit and get up to the university of Utah's campus and there is no parking spot to be found in the parking lot which is close to my classes so I head off to the other lot, which is quite the walk to my class (I know exercise is good for the soul), but I get to class quite a few minutes late and the classroom has stadium seating and has at least 16 rows and I had to hike up the steps till I got seat and I couldn't read what was on the board at all. Which was rough.
I then went to my physics class and it was pretty interesting. Right after that I had to rush to make a doctors appointment and I showed up there 10 minutes late and I had to sit and wait forever in the freezing waiting room. They then finally took me back to my patient room, where I could wait for the doctor. While in that room I realized I had physics homework that I hadn't done yet and it was due later that night. So I pulled out my computer and started working on it. When the doctor walked in he gave me the oddest look in the world, and said, "You aren't on WEBMD are you?" I smiled and said, "no" the doctor just shock his head as if he didn't believe me that I was working on a physics assignment.
I then got home and started working on the physics homework and I was stressed because the day had been just that stressful.  Just when I was about at my breaking point with stress, my boyfriend called, his call came at the perfect moment of the day, it came when I needed a break and I love talking to him I love how he understands me and I love how he listens to me.
After, I hung up with my boyfriend things in my world started to calm down, the homework got done and I had many a reasons to smile that day.
I hope the glimpse into my world, helps make the point that a bad day usually tends to get better, and it can go the other way a good starting day can end on a not so happy note.
I am a firm believer in Karma, what you put out there will come back to you, so be careful what you do in this life.
I know this quote might seem a little out of the ordinary for this post but:

You know everyday we all make mistakes even the ones that seem to have everything going their way or that the cosmos are working in there favor have those moments, where we all mess up and we are all imperfect beings, trying to be who we are.
I need to get back to studying.
As Always thanks for reading.

The songs of the Nerds....

Hi,
Lately, my Professors have been using songs and videos from Youtube to help us learn concepts in math and physics and there are some good ones out there. I know you might need to be a nerd to appreciate these, because most of the songs were written by you guessed it Nerds. For everyone in this world, else they might find it helpful or a good review for you.
The first one is on derivatives I know I will derive!
The next one is about velocity it is called velocity by they might be giants.
The next few have to do with our friend Pi, the first one is called pi mathematical. The next song is called The Pi Song.
The next one is on our friend e.
This one is all about the every scary and frightful fractions.
Who could forget about polynomial functions and graphing them, I know I sure can't.
Here's one all on how we us Mathematics in our everyday lives, it is everywhere and we cannot escape it.
Math songs have even been found in movies and the first one that comes to my mind is  Jack Black in the movie of School of Rock, Singing The Math Song.

I hope the links all worked for you and I hope you enjoyed the songs of math. I am afraid I might have let my nerd side out just a little bit, but as my friend always tells me is: "You are one hot nerd, Which would make you Nerd-a-licous"
I need to get back to studying for my test this week in physics on Newtons laws of physics, some of them still boggle my mind.
As always thanks for reading.

Sunshine

Hi all,
Today the sun is shining and it is still freezing outside, and I know that spring is right around the corner, and I am wanting spring to come, But I know in the back of my head that it is still a few months away, but it is getting closer. Yay!
As I was going through some of my files on my computer I found some quotes that I thought I had already posted. Turns out I haven't and so here they are. I hope they inspire you as they have me.

I need to get back to studying I love homework can you feel the sarcasm? 

As always thanks for Reading! 

Meaning of Life

Hi,
So in the stresses and the busyness in my life lately and everything which keeps being thrown at me, I finally found time to write a post this week as the week is sadly coming to a close.
Lately, I have found that I have been pondering the meaning of life and more in particular my life. As I have found myself wondering the meaning of life I find, it seems life boils down to a few things that are important and those things I keep coming up with are (They are in no particular order as to importance):
1. Be true to yourself and what you believe
2. Love those around you no matter what
3. Don't hold a grudge because life is too short
4. Do one thing a day that makes you happy
5. Find time to reflect and ponder every day.
Today I found the coolest quote from Confucius in order to see the entire quote you will need to stare at it closely....

I hope you can all see the second part of the thought. If you can't see it the whole thought is: Everything has beauty but not everyone can see it. I love this thought because it is true, Beauty can be found every where in this world, but sometimes you just need to know how to see it. I know this is a short post but
I need to be going, I am making Banana Bread and studying math at the same time (I know what a combo)
As always thanks for reading.

Decisions...

Hi,

Making a decision sometimes can be tough, at least for me. I am so indecisive sometimes, but when I look at all the options I have in front of me, I get confused and I don't know what to decide. One, thing though I will look at all options before me, and I will carefully make a decision, after countless hours of talking to people and writing out pros and con lists, trying to predict where each option will take me. (I even try to see if there life could throw an unexpected surprise at me). Once I finally make a decision I stick to it, I commit fully to it, I don't turn back I move forward with the confidence it is correct. 

I don't know why I am writing a whole post on decisions, I don't know, but looks like it was a decision I made somewhere to do and so here I am writing about the word decisions. 

Decisions in the Webster dictionary is: "conclusion or resolution reached after consideration, the action or process of deciding something or of resolving a question"  I don't know why I put the definition of the word decisions except for the fact I have always wanted to.  

I know life is full of decisions do you continue to do what you have always wanted to do, or do you change things and start to see the world the way someone else might, trying to see the world through someone else's eyes, through someone else's point of view, no matter how different it might seem to you. I know several people that won't do that because they have a fear that it will change what they believe. I say, if we all tried to see through others eyes this world would be one very different place to live in. 

 Today I found a quote that I want to share with all of you. 

The decision to judge someone else, takes away the time you could be getting over your differences and loving them. I have found in my own life that when I seem to place a hard judgement on someone, it is like Karma catches up and I find myself eating my own words. I have learned better to let people be who they are and love them no matter what they are doing. As one of my really good friends, once said, "In order to be a true friend, when your friend tells you something that they are doing in their own life that doesn't hurt anyone, just continue to be their friend and to be there for them. No matter what! Cause that is what a true friend would do."

Love, Rain, Be as a child....

Hi all,
I found this cute mathematical poster online and I find it cute, and you don't even have to know much math to understand it. I hope you enjoy it:

I know it is super cheesy but I would also like to dedicate it to my most amazing boyfriend ever. I love you!  
Today, has been a different kind of day in so many senses, I did all my homework and got it all turned in and am finally caught up, which is weird considering it is only the second week of school, but it feels like it has been longer than that. Then also in Salt Lake City, it has been raining in January, which is weird, and it is the cold kind of rain, that you cannot go play in, cause if you do you freeze and the good puddles to jump in are frozen over.  You know I love jumping in the puddles, when it rains I love to play in it when it is warm out... I don't know what it is but something about being outside and being soaking wet. I found another thought I want to share with you, it fits what I am talking about here:

I love this thought it is a good one to ponder about and strive for.
I just want to thank you all for reading my blog, makes me happy that there are people out there that find my life somewhat interesting to read about it.  Thank you! You are all great!

Back to school...

Hi,
Adam Sandler in Billie Madison's voice is what I hear in my head when I hear the phrase Back to School, back to school, going to prove to my dad that I'm no fool.
I love being in school and learning, but one thing I am trying to figure out is how to do all my math homework online, my teachers this semester have all gone green, everything is electronically done. In someways it is a good thing, but turning in a math homework problems and physics answers all online. I know I will get the hang of it, but at the same time, sometimes technology doesn't like me. I guess it is time for me to change my attitude and I will start by saying technology and I will start getting along.
A quote I found this week, that I am in so much like with. It is this:

I love this quote, because lately some of my friends and family members have been commenting on how in the last year and a half I have changed, but truth is, I am finally letting out the inner me that has been wanting to come out. I have been letting the real me out and this I found this quote that I read quite often, and I am sorry I don't know who has said it, or where I got it but I really find it inspiring..  It also helps explain what it is I am going through.

This quote is true, I am cranky and at times I wonder why it is I am in school. It usually takes a trip up to campus and I remember I am in school because I love learning I love being there, it is one thing in life that makes me happy and though at times I maybe cranky, it is all worth it.

As always thanks for reading.

Beginning of a New Year...

Hi,
I apologize to all of you that were reading my blog and now aren't cause I haven't posted in sometime. I know I have neglected my blog for sometime, and I really don't have to good of an excuse except I got busy with finals week at school and then the holidays came and I was taking a break from my computer. But I am back at it, and am excited to share with you what this year may have in store.
I should up date you all and say that I do have a boyfriend and it has been some time since I have been in a relationship. I love where this relationship is going.
With the start of school again, and getting into the feel of the new year, at times I feel like what paul Simon wrote in his song Graceland, when he said,

"There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Oh, so this is what she means
She means we're bouncing into Graceland"


I think he puts it best that we are like a human trampoline and life isn't easy for any of us. We must keep bouncing along and learn to roll with the punches.  I feel at times a little overwhelmed, but I am human and who doesn't from time to time feel that way? I know we all do.
I do have to confess something to all of you, January is my hardest month it has always been a hard month for me, I don't know what it is, or why it is. For as long as I can remember, I have dreaded January maybe, it is the let down after the Holiday season and there is a new year ahead of me and for what ever reason I get more emotional than ever. I have had ideas as to why, everything from not enough sunlight to simply the winter blues.  I would say it is the winter blues, I am wanting to play in the warm sunlight and I love warm weather.                                    

Ivins Utah, December 2011

I like January about the time it is over and for whatever reason February is a good month don't know why since Valentines is in it. Tell you the truth not really a fan, but now I have a boyfriend it might change my tune of the holiday.
I hope all of you out there in Internet land have been good at your new year resolutions. I have something to tell you I don't make new year resolutions instead, what I do is I pick a word, that will help me with my personal relationship with God. I got this idea last year from Klove (it is a christian radio station) here in the USA. Last years word was Trust and I have learned so much about the word trust and what that means. I am still trying to decided on what my word will be this year, but I have a few and I just need to pick one. The words I am debating between are: Love, Friendship, clearity or Acceptance. I cannot figure out which one I will pick and I know I will pick the right one.
Here is the quote for this post that I want to share with all of you, in a way it is how I see the change in the new year:


"wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity."
— Gilda Radner

Sorry this post might seem a little jumbled I apologize I just wanted to say I am still here and posting on my blog. 

As Always Thanks for reading!
