Today I woke up at 9:24 AM. That's not necessarily bad, except for the part where my ward starts at 8:00 AM.
So, I went to my boyfriend's (Tommy) ward for church. It starts at 10:00, so that was good. I stayed the whole time, which was good. His ward is my previous ward, before I got put into another ward in April. I still know a lot of people in that ward, and I still miss it.
Relief Society was especially awesome. The president gave the lesson, since it was the 1st Sunday. The lesson was on Elder Wirthlin's talk, "Come What May, and Love It." First of all, I just needed that talk as a reminder, in general. But there's one part of the talk that reminds us we need to laugh. Learn to laugh when uncomfortable things happen sometimes. I needed that reminder because some frustrating things happened this week, and instead of letting it go and laughing about it, I got upset. I wouldn't have gotten that reminder if I had gone to my own ward, so I think it was sort of a blessing that I got to sleep in. Plus, I got extra sleep. :) (I'm not saying that I wouldn't have been edified in my own ward. The leaders there are inspired for me. I'm just acknowledging that something good came from that today.)
I'm really blessed in life, and I'm happy that I am.

Family
My brother is now here with me, and it rocks. I got used to not having any family around (which, coming from a family of 9 people, can be a little strange), but I did well, and now he's here with me to share my fun moments and make his own. I'm so excited.
My friend Summer is going on a mission to Alaska. I'm so excited for her. She's going to do great. I told her that I'm going to send her a package, and she got really excited. Too bad she doesn't know that I'm just going to send her the tennis shoes she left with me....they won't fit me and I think she will need them for exercise and service projects. I might send her the hair dryer she left, too, if she needs it. Actually, though, I'm not a very mean person, so I'll probably send her something else with the shoes...like candy that you can't find on the mainland. Or something of that nature.
Happy 20th to my awesome "Kitty!" I love her! She's so amazing and awesome. I learn a lot from her, and we have SO much fun talking with each other. Really, she's amazing. I got her a stuffed animal...Marie, from "The Aristocats" (Disney movie) for her birthday. She loved it. I was so happy that I got her something good. I really like to give gifts, and I like them to be original, or at least thoughtful!
Today was a good day, and I'm happy to be here. I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, and I probably live a life that a lot of people dream of. So, in reality, I shouldn't complain about anything. Sure, I have my troubles and problems too, but what better place to have them than in paradise?

Happy Days
Well, before anyone looks at my last posting and reads that I didn't know how to delete the 2 extra blogs...they've been deleted. I started dinking and tinkering around on blogger after I posted last night (doing several different things), and when I remembered I wanted to delete the two extra blogs, I looked, and found it fairly quickly. (It's under Settings, and then there's a blue link at the top.) Well, that was nice.
Tomorrow is my last final (I get to finish earlier than other folks!), so I was studying today. However, I got a really nice study break after about 20 minutes (not too long, I know), because Angelica (a former unit mate) was running errands over here today. She was planning on visiting me at some point, but then I got a text from her asking if I wanted to go get shrimp with them. "No pressure :p" she said. Two things: it's Angelica and it's shrimp! When combined, they're like the deadly duo! I would give up just about anything to see Angelica or help her out, and I've been having Angelica withdrawals lately, anyway! She told me she's been craving Kahuku shrimp for a while...the shrimp in town apparently has no competition with the stuff over here. Well, that makes two of us. Shrimp is very possibly my favorite food. Her friend was driving his truck, and so Gelica and I rode in the back and talked to each other, which was so awesome. The weather was really nice, too. Needless to say, we had a nice time! At least, I did. Plus, she has really funny friends, so I definitely laughed a lot! (Whenever I hang out with them, I feel like I want to marry a local.)
Tonight my ward is doing baptisms for the dead, so I took off work so that I can go. Going to the temple is usually the only thing I'll take work off for. I'm feeling so happy and carefree today, even though I have a final tomorrow morning! Anyway, I know going to the temple will provide me with blessings because I sacrificed my time to do the Lord's work, which leads me to believe that my performance this week will be better and more focused. That's been my past experience. ;) I'll study more after I get back from the temple, too. It's been a good day, and it's just going to get better!
I have high hopes that I'll get a 4.0 this term. (If I do, it may just raise my GPA enough to get another scholarship for fall. If not fall, then winter! Who couldn't use more money for school?) If I don't get a 4.0, it will be close. I'm really really hoping that I will. I know I'll get an A from my Global Skills class. I'm just not sure about Science Methods. It's riding between an A and an A-. It just depends on how well I do on my final, I believe. Anyway, I'm just saying in a really long way that I need to study more so that I can get a good grade on my final, to get a good grade in the class!
