This year seems great so far...

For the most part, anyway. This past week has been nice especially, namely because I found a system for keeping my room clean that seems to work well. This past week was not so nice in the fact that I got the worst grade on a college exam I've ever had, and that it was completely unexpected.

Wednesday morning I had an accounting exam, and in the class immediately after I had to give a presentation to the class. In preparation for all that I stayed up till four in the morning working on the presentation, and then I took a short nap and woke up early to study for accounting.

When I was actually taking the test, I caught myself making stupid mistakes in problem after problem because I was so tired and unable to focus, but I felt like I figured everything out by the end of class and left thinking I had done ok. The fact that I didn't do well was made worse by my professor going on about how that was a "gimme" test, and how "if you didn't do well, you just didn't do the homework, and I as your professor have no control over that."

I did all of my homework, actually, and so I just felt really bad and stupid because I got such a bad grade after studying. Oh well, I now have motivation to work harder than ever in that class.

Other than that though, it's been fun. I watched silly movies with Eric, Sarah and Matt, (my sister and her boyfriend), and have felt far more organized and productive than usual. Right now I'm working on getting homework done today because a) it feels like I get more out of my Sundays when I can just focus on God instead of schoolwork, and b) I want to make sure Tuesday, February 1st is as free as can be, because that's my two-year anniversary with Eric! I think we might be going to Salt Lake city or something, we haven't quite decided what we're doing or where we'll be going... it'll be really fun!

I'll end with things I liked about this past week:

• I liked having my window curtains tied back every day to let the light in.
• I liked having my bed made and my room clean.
• I liked going to the fieldhouse.
• I liked Eric laughing at Mr. Bean episodes :)
• I liked one of the days it was snowy outside stopping by the greenhouses and looking in at all of the bright colorful flowers in bloom inside. It lifted my mood! 
• I like this cute cat that's been hanging around our house that Sarah and Matt have named "Duster".
• I liked picking out a ridiculous number and variety of movies out at the library (the best of which so far was a Tyler Perry movie, "Madea Goes to Jail". The parts with Madea were hilarious, I got a good laugh out of it! "Singing in the Rain" was fun too.)
• I liked the "buy one, get one free" coupons for Arby's Roast beef sandwiches.
• I liked going to "The Taste of Logan" thing downtown last night. Restaurants and stores were giving away free samples, which was really tasty and fun, Eric and I loved getting to see the different restaurants. The most fun thing about the night was annoying Eric by my goofy behavior in public. He gave in by the end of the night and just started acting crazy along with me! It was a great night.

Anyway, I need to get all of my homework done. If Eric and I get everything done soon enough tonight, we might check out the Creperie downtown tonight!
