Endure to the End [of this semester]

April 17, 2016

I wish that I had more exciting things to tell you about. I don't. I have been drowning in exams and papers and all this last minute stuff that professors are cramming into the last eighteen(ish) days of the semester. But hey, look how pretty the sunset was at the temple last Sunday. Allie and I have made the goal to do 200 names in the temple this semester and so we have gone just about every day in April and I love, love, love the Logan temple. 
I love the Fierce Felicias
I found this really awesome MormonAd for how I am feeling about the end of this semester (I know it's way cheesy but I don't care). Summer is so close but I am so ready to be done with due dates and word counts. I'm just going to steal the 2016 Youth Mutual theme scripture really quickly but it says, "wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the words of Christ, and ENDURE TO THE END, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life," -2 Nephi 31:20

Even though I was mentally done with this semester as soon as I came back from Disneyland, it's not over and I have to keep on keeping on. The finish line May 5th! It's so close and so much has to be completed between now and then but I'm going to make it because I can do hard things. There may be times that I stumble and fall on my face, but I know that Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ will be with me every step of the way cheering me on and I know that with their help, there is nothing that I can't do. Go team.
This week it was snowy and sunny and rainy and all this crazy weather so getting ready to go to campus was always a struggle in the morning like what am I supposed to wear today? Burks and shorts or a rain coat? It pretty much ended up with me wearing like nine layers on the bus, sweating by noon and taking most of them off because it had finally stopped raining or being crazy windy, then putting them all back on by two o'clock because it was snowing or something.
Jackie came to one of our classes together this week
That's a big deal people

yes, I carry around a jar of pb because it's the best snack
I don't need your judgement
On Friday night, Allie and Abbey and I dragged our mattresses out into the living room and decided to watch all of the High School Musicals in reverse order (watching Senior Year first) which was a sad throwback reality of how old I feel because those movies came out when I was in like fourth grade. Like ten years ago. And now I was watching them in my college dorm room like what the heck. To be honest, I will always have a crush on Troy Bolton and high school basketball.
Saturday morning, Allie and I went to a devotional that Al Fox Caraway spoke at and she was so funny. Something she said that I really loved was, "I want the whole world to know that there is happy,". I love that and I am so grateful for the blessing of the gospel in my life for the way that it has shaped and led my life. The church is so, so, so awesome people. If you want to know more, ask me because I would love to rave about it to you. I'm dead serious.
If you need me, I'll be in the library until May 5th. 
Food and snacks are much appreciated.
Thank you. Love, Caitie
