My Amazing Family

I love my family. I miss them a lot. This post by my cousin made me miss them even more (click here). This is a true story folks...nothing was added for drama or humor purposes. Enjoy!

In other news...I'm really domestic. Yay me. I bake banana bread. I feel like making any type of bread is very mom-ish. I even made some little muffin sized breads for easy snacking. (Made one loaf without chocolate chips for the "healthy" eaters around here). This is what I did this afternoon to procrastinate doing schoolwork on a holiday. Wayyyy better than research and reading...and much tastier.

I can procrastinate a little today...because I got a TON done on Saturday. I was pretty pleased with myself. There is always more work that can be done, but I was pretty darn productive considering it was the first college football Saturday of the season. I solved that dilemma fairly easily:

This was my set-up at my carrel on Saturday. Outline on one half of my screen, the game on the other. This is during the BYU game...it ended with only 10 minutes left until the BSU game. Sooo I had a lot of time to get a lot done. Eventually I let the game take over my whole screen and bagged the whole outline thing...but I was very good for the most part.

School is already keeping me very busy. I have two classes that are ending mid-semester, so they move pretty quickly. Plus I am doing Law Review, which is just extra work on top of classes. I do 1 night of editing a week. Doesn't sound too bad, huh? Well, what if I told you that it's 6 of us in a little office, each editing 2 pages of a journal article FOR 4.5 HOURS? Yeah...not an ideal weekly activity...but it is what it is. In addition to that, we each write a 25 page review article throughout the year. Deadlines are set throughout the semester...so staying on top of that keeps me plenty busy as well. Then add class reading, eating, and sleeping...pretty much takes up all the hours in a day.

I am sooo grateful I was able to come back with a bunch of good friends in Moscow, though. Brenda is my roommate again...which saves me from insanity. I honestly don't know what I'd do without her in this little town. I also have a couple really close friends from school that make the crazy law school life bearable. Powder-puff football intramurals are starting up this week...so that will be a good release of stress. Our little law school team does pretty well and we always have tons of fun.

Otherwise, life is good. I can't really complain (though I often want to). I was called to the Stake Relief Society Presidency, which is a little overwhelming with everything else going on in my life, but...I guess I'll make the best of it. And that means more blessings, right?! RIGHT?! (That's what I keep telling myself).

It already seems like summer was SOOOO long ago. Time is playing a rude trick on me, making me feel like I've been in school much longer than 2 weeks. But bring it on, time! I'll show you! (...by blogging instead of utilizing you wisely with schoolwork and productive activities). Oops :)
