This past semester




Things have been great this past week. School is getting busy as finals are getting closer and closer. It's always a thrill at this time of the semester. I have to say, I'm glad to be back in school, but glad for it to be over soon too. This past semester has been an interesting one being back from my mission. It was a whole lot more different than the one I took at ASU before my mission. A lot of things changed, but it happens. There were a lot of ups and downs, and once again I learned that when everything seems to be going wrong, as long as you have the right attitude, everything will be fine. And that goes for everything in life.

As for running, it was definately an experience trying to come back after taking 2 years off. But I am finally feeling comfortable again. Im not as fit as I would like to be yet, but I'm healthy and getting fitter every day. It feels so good to get back in shape again. Running is the best sport by far. I love all sports and have participated in a lot of them, but nothing compares with the feeling that you can get from running. Once you get the the point where you are comfortable and fit, you can have this feeling where the mind controls everything your body does, no matter how much pain your body feels or how tired it gets. Your mind overpowers everything. A lot of people dont enjoy running because they have never gotten to that point, but when you do, there is no feeling like it. It just takes a lot of time and effort to get fit first.

This summer will be awesome! I'm so stoked for youth conference. It is gonna be a fun, spiritual experience. I'm so excited to be with the youth. I'm also way excited for my parents and little sister and older sister and brother in law to come back to AZ! I'm sad that my older bro will be leaving, but he has been awesome to me this past semester. He has always been there for me. I'm way excited to go to Japan in August to see everything. This summer is gonna be so awesome. Somewhere in between all of that I'm gonna get a job somewhere.

Life is great, couldn't be better. Especially when you gleak the spits, because the stances are just gaivin the snacks within the smeep weefs.

Sweet! I couldn't agree more with the 2nd paragraph. Running is the best on the planet! I want to come to one of your meets so tell me when and where!

Sorry Sandy, but I have to respectfully DISAGREE with your second paragraph. Running is AWFUL!
But nice post other than that!

Maybe one day I'll get to be that in shape. You've been awesome to me too this semester, especially with all of your RM energy. Keep sifting through many options and you'll avoid being grievous (and won't have to file for a grievance).

Nice entry and so amazingly positive! I miss the highs from running, but was NEVER that in shape ever! Can't wait for summer too and for your trip to see Japan! Love you, Mom
