you had to know it was coming

so here i am, at the end of what could very well be the longest day of my life. it seems like its been about a week since i was climbing over people to get a seat in my music 201 class this morning around 9:02 am. and now its 11:45, a little over 12 hours later, and i am so drained. physically, emotionally, mentally. now, i'm not here to whine and moan and complain about how much i miss cody (even though i do miss him, terribly). i won't subject you to that torture. i just want to say a few things.
1. i know that everyone and their left-footed dog says this, but mission prep with brother bott is quite possibly the best class you could ever take. i'm not planning on serving a mission, but the things he says are so deep and profound, i get shivers every single day. even after just four weeks of class, this class has already taught me so much and impacted me so deeply, i fully plan on just sitting in on it for at least another semester.
2. school is a really, really good distraction. it is hard to believe that i've been in classes for four weeks already. the days seem long while i'm actually in them, but looking back, time has really picked up since school has started. i just hope that the rest of the semester and next semester, and the next and the next, just blur right by. i am willing to completely submerge myself in schoolwork if thats what it takes.
3. i need a better job. don't get me wrong, i don't have a problem working at jamba. but when you only work 12 hours a week for about $7.25 an hour, that just isn't going to cut it. i need to start looking for a more solid job.
4. i have the best friends anyone could ask for. they've really proved that to me this past week. all of them. cody, caroline, ginger, marci, jaimie, kate the great, andrea, and even brady, who is serving a mission in california. really, they are the absolute best and i wish there was some way i could thank them for being there for me.
5. my family needs to move out west. i miss them. moreso than last year (not that i didn't miss them last year, because i definitely did). sometimes, i wish i could just go home for the weekend...like this coming weekend. i would love to just spend a few days at home. i don't want to wait until Christmas!
6. i'm one day closer to cody being back!
