Graduation, do you really exist?

I kinda always thought that Senioritis was this thing that people made up, for whatever reason. School is fun, right? Homework isn't usually that bad, am I wrong? I like having a set schedule every day, don't you?

No. Not anymore. I officially have Senioritis and I am vouching that it is a very real mental (and I guess, physical) ailment. Don't get me wrong - I still like going to my classes, learning new things, gaining a greater appreciation for literature and the English language (for those who don't know, I'm studying English Literaure and Editing).... But I just don't know if I can do this school/homework thing anymore. I have almost zero motivation most of the time to do my homework. I don't graduate until August 2012. That sounds like an eternity. I know I will make it, but how I make it is another story.

*sigh* Aaaannndd.... back to the homework. I guess it's not all bad: I'm reading poetry by John Keats :)

Why I love exercise

Except for slight dance frustrations, today has been good so far... I know it's only 11am, but it makes me optimistic for the rest of the day. I worked out extra hard today, and I'm satisfied with my current endurance level. It could still be much better, but I could run longer today without stopping than I've been able to in a while. And then instead of slacking off and only lifting weights for 15 minutes and doing little-to-no ab workouts, I did 30 minutes of weights and then lots of abs and stretching. Working out feels so good! It gets me in the mood to get things done.

So:

Today I'm hoping to get my food handler's permit, go to my advisor to plan class schedules for upcoming semesters, go to the ASL lab for an hour, go to ASL, and then go on a hopefully good date with Jeff! If I can clean my room and have a little time to read my book on top of it all then it will be perfect!

Worth it

So I went to the RB this morning at 6:30 to be there a little early to warm up for team auditions. I felt I did pretty bad in the actual audition... I really just hate american cha cha and the technique is just awkward and weird looking. I don't like it. Anyway, I was hoping my waltz would redeem me but my partner led me into something (instead of the streamline) right after the open rolls that I totally wasn't expecting, which threw me off (I should have been following better, but what partner seriously tricks you on auditions?!) Anyway by the time we recovered the music stopped. Crap. But obviously I looked ok enough because I made it! I know it's easier to get on spring team, but I'm pretty excited that I can finally be on a BYU ballroom team! :) It's at 7 AM every morning.... but it's worth it!

I had ASL today too. She let us out early. My teacher is deaf, which is probably the best way to learn but it's weird to never hear her speak. I'm going to have to practice a LOT for that class because it's not reallysomething I can refer back to in a text book later. I have to remember how she showed us how to do a certain word. But I think it's going to be really fun! AND.... I got an awesome three hour nap today between class and got authorized by BYU student employment to work for catering, so it's been a good day so far!
I think Vance is bringing the chess board he made me for Christmas over today and we're going to play a game later :) I have cool brothers.
