It has been three and a half months already

It's hard to believe that the semester is already over with finals starting today.

Getting used to normal life again was easier than I thought but quite different at the same time. I still find it a bit uncomfortable to carry on conversations (especially with the opposite sex) but I've never been really good at that. That's always something I can work on.

I am still working at not getting distracted as much. There seems so much to offer at the tip of my fingers. With my iPod iTouch I can do almost everything a computer can... Except write my essays. I am even writing this post on my iPod. It's really easy to check Facebook, play a game, check the news, or whatever instead of doing the task at hand. I need to put a limitation on these things and resist the urge to do them so often.

I guess that's what life is a little bit - finding some balance between the stuff you like to do and the stuff you need to do. You can't let one rule the other. These three months could be a characterization of my future. I wouldn't like that... I am so imperfect and so far from my expectations of where I think I should be it's not even cool. I spent like ten minutes looking for a scripture I should have known off the bat. But that's why we change! I would say almost nothing is set in stone (sorry Tim and Chelsea) because of this wonderful ability to change. You don't like it? Don't do it. Of course it is much easier to say than to do, but since when has anything easy ever been worth it.

That is why I need to branch out more and get out of my bubble. Nothing that needs to happen is going to if I just stick with the comfortable. I need to get out and about and stretch my abilities and personality. I'll always be boring if I do nothing. Life is a bunch of trials and errors. If you make a mistake, so what? Repent if needs be, make it right and move on. There's no need to let it keep you down.

The most important thing is to keep your trust firmly in God and our Savior Jesus Christ. Think about them throughout the day. Read the scriptures, ponder your relationship with Deity. Now I need to take this advice as much as the person next to me and yet I know it is the right thing to do. Even at 3:30 in the morning we need to realize our dependence upon the Father and His desires to help is grow and become stronger and more faithful. You will never learn if you don't try - now don't go and sin on purpose! That will teach you absolutely nothing except that it was a bad idea. But get out of your comfort levels, do something new. Or at least, break up the monotony of daily living. Do something for fun. I am. :)

That's all for this insomnia report. Until next time!
