40 days and counting....

Wow... 40 days ago, I moved off to college. It seems like it was just yesterday. Time sure does fly when you are having fun! :)

This week has been a little hard on me. Something came up that has really tried my strength. I am feeling better now, but not all the way over it. I wasn't able to focus on much of anything throughout the week, and still trying to get back in the swing of things. I have three mid-term exams next week, so it is going to be another stressful week. Studying... studying..... and more studying.

Because of the very discouraging events that took place this week, I am VERY happy that it is General Conference weekend. It couldn't come at a better time. I really need some guidance right now, and I am very excited to be able to listen to the leaders of this church and find the answers that I need. Throughout the week, I haven't really relied on the Lord as much as I should have. But I finally came to the realization that the only way I can get through this trial is to rely on Him and listen to his apostles. I am very excited to have the opportunity to listen to the words of the Prophet and all of the other leaders who will be giving guidance throughout this weekend. I know that my prayers will be answered, and that I will regain the strength I need to go about each day. This gospel brings me true happiness, and it will be the guiding point for me in this situation.

I am also excited to have the opportunity to visit my brother and sister in Orem tomorrow and watch General Conference with them :) I miss seeing my family. I am going to be going home for the first time since I moved up here in abour two weeks. Thank goodness! I miss home!

Homecoming week was last week. It was tons of fun! Some of the activities that were available to participate in was the Paint Dance, Campout on the Quad, True Aggie Night, Homecoming game and the homecoming dance. :) I am proud to say that I am a TRUE AGGIE!! And also, I was part of the World's Longest Kissing Chain that you may have heard about on the news. Yes, I was part of a world record! One dream, met! And for the homecoming game, along with a few friends, I got decked out in school spirit. Had a fohawk, colored my hair, painted my face and arms.... yeah, it was LEGIT! It felt great to be able to do this, something I couldn't do in high school. ALthough the game was a very close, but disappointing one, it was still tons of fun! I really do love USU!

Well, I hope everyone is doing well. College is great and I am having the time of my life. This is Lane, clocking out....
