Weekend in the Life of a Crazy College Student!

So I had a fantastic weekend!

Friday afternoon, I got together with a guy from my ward and played tennis. I am a little rusty, but it was a lot of fun.

Then that night, we had a relief society sleepover. I laugh now, thinking how I was worried we wouldn't have enough to do. Somehow I forgot how easily girls can talk, especially about boys! It was really fun- we circled around and swapped bad date stories and other information with each other. It was all good and fun until one girl went off on how cute (looks and personality) a guy in our ward is- who happens to be the same guy I am interested in and have been spending a lot of time with lately.....hmm.

Then Saturday I met up with one of my favorite members from my mission, Sister Hazleton, and Carol Wilcox at the Timpanogos temple. We did a session together and talked forever in the celestial room. Then we went to Chilis to have lunch and visit some more. Wow Sister Hazleton amazes me with her simple faith and optimism! I love that woman!

Then I came home and spent an hour or so with that boy previously mentioned.

Then I returned to my apartment to prepare dinner for my date. Ariel and I each asked a guy out to have dinner at our place and then see the Harry Potter movie. We had a lot of fun playing outburst, eating dinner and going to the movie. Our dates were fun and laid back.

Then Sunday I headed up to Centerville to go to Sister Johnson's homecoming. It was great to listen to her give her talk and see how she has grown. I also had a blast talking to her for 4 hours at her house after.

After those pleasantries, I drove 2 exits south to my grandparent's. We had dinner and talked. It has been way too long since I have seen them for being so close.

As you may have noticed, homework or studying wasn't apart of any of my weekend activities. Let's just say that I have a lot to do now!

This is new to me

So I know social media was taking off before my mission, but I had no idea how big it got until the past few months. Everyone was saying "tweet this" or "tweet that." I finally asked someone, "what is a tweet?" I soon learned about Twitter. Fortunately, I had joined facebook as a freshman, and already was ''in the know" on that.

Well, now I am going to start this blogging thing. It is fun to look at other friend's blogs and I thought it would be a fun way to express my creativity when it comes. I suppose I should decide my overall tone and what I will put in this blog, but one step at a time, right?

So here goes....

I feel like I am between a lot of different worlds right now:

college student- adult
taken- single woman
superficial and fake- sincere and meaningful
school- career world

I can't decide where I am exactly, or what I want. The thing is I could finish up fast and graduate. A part of me wants to be done with college life, which sometimes can be caddy and superficial. But another part of me is not ready for a career- for "the real world." Also who wants to job hunt in an economy like this one?...... So I think I will just take my time.

Another point of confusion- boys. A part of me is terrified of getting married. A larger part of me wants the depth and closeness that a serious relationship brings. But I am so over superficial dating and the "game" that everyone must play at the beginning of relationships. Yeah that is fun at first, but I just want companionship now, without having to jump through all the hoops.
