Back in Cedar

A great psychologist (sorry thats what my major is, so this is what I hear everyday :)) Abraham Maslow said once, "When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future. When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past.The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness." I think I have been feeling both the depression and the anxiety lately in my life. Mostly towards the anxiety side. I worry about my future all the time. There are so many unanswered questions I have now. Such as marriage, career, grad school, possibly a mission, even down to where am I going to live this summer? I drive myself crazy thinking about these things, but I need to worry more about what is going on right now in my life so that I can get that complete "mental wellness" I'm so worried about what the next step after Cedar is that I'm not letting myself enjoy the time I have here in Cedar. So for my goal of 2010 and this new (and also last) semester at SUU is to enjoy the time I have here. I'm going to try and not worry about things that are beyond my control at this point.


PS Sorry no pictures in the last two posts, I will try and put up some from over the christmas break soon..but for now i just felt like posting how I've been feeling lately! School just started today and I'm very excited to graduate in May!

Finals Week!!! :)

YAY! It's finals week...good and bad news about finals. Good, semester is almost over and I am so ready for this semester to be over with (18 credits of some pretty hard classes was not the best idea!) But Bad news...18 credits worth of finals haha...kinda stressful! I've been working super hard this semester to keep up in all of my classes and I feel like I've been doing pretty good. This semester has almost burnt me out of school completely, but i'm just about done..It seriously has flown by, time just goes way to fast for me. End of semesters are always the hardest because thats when professors decide to pile everything on! (because the rest of the semester was soo easy right? haha) So if I can just make it through this next week I will be golden!

Canyon View Volleyball

So the season ended a few weeks ago..and i'm just barely posting this..oops! These are our team pictures (completes of Nia haha). I had so much fun coaching this year! I absolutely love the girls I coach, and the other girls I coach with! I'm going to miss it alot. It's been nice to have more time to spend on my homework because I have ALOT. I hate end of semesters! Teachers feel like they should have big huge projects due the end of the semester so I'm trying to keep up and get everything finished..Lets hope I don't fail any classes so I can graduate on time! However, next week is Thanskgiving break!!!!! WOOT WOOT! I'm so excited to get a little break off of school-well atleast I'll be home, but I'll be doing homework while at home :( I'm so excited to see all the family and hang out in Emery county, and be in the new house!

VolLeYBaLl

So just a little update! I am coaching the sophomore volleyball team at Canyon View High School again this year. This is a pic of me and Heather (she coaches the freshman team). We spent all day at a freshman/sophomore volleyball tournament in Hurricane! A long day with no wins, dang it! So far our team has not been winning, but they have improved so much since day 1 of tryouts, so I'm hoping for the best. I absolutely love coaching, don't get me wrong it is really hard and frustrating at times, but it is also so fun! I love being with the girls and playing volleyball and teaching them to play. They always crack me up. I really like the other coaches also. Teresa is our head coach and then Nia (she coached freshman last year, and now does JV) and then Heather (our freshman coach) and me (sophohomre coach :) ). They are alot of fun! I like being able to play volleyball everyday with the girls, and it's good to help keep me a little in shape with the occasional conditiong I do with them. Pretty much you could say that lately volleyball has been my life. I practice everyday and then the last 3 weekends, i have played in 2 1o hour volleyball tournys and coached 1 10 hour tourny! Crazy...I'm looking forward to this weekend because there is actually no tourny-not that I don't love playing in them, but it's time for a break! I think I will get some cleaning, laundry, and homework done...Yay!!

Fires in New Harmony

So this is what our sunset has looked like for the past few days in Cedar, not a way good pic but it's from my cell phone so it's the best I could do, but it gives you an idea! Pretty much the whole town of New Harmony is on fire! New Harmony is a small town fifteen minutes south of Cedar City. The other day they had to evacuate alot of the town because the fires had reached town, and a few homes got burnt. so sad and scary! Some people in Cedar had ashes on their cars from the wind blowing over, crazy! The sky has looked crazy and you can smell the smoke way bad. Well last night we got a huge burst of rain for about a half hour and the sky today looks sooo much better, we needed it way bad! I feel really bad for the families in New Harmony that lost their homes! How sad! We drove and watched the fires for a bit just off the exit, and it was so crazy to see everything on fire like that, I have never seen so much fire. I'm glad that they aren't spreading faster, and hopefully our fire fighters are able to stop it from going any further.
