Happy Heart Day!

After 6 months and 7 days, I have finally returned to writing. I did so much writing last semester, I couldn't muster the strength to write anything here. After much persuasion, I have Allison Kay Hazard to thank for my return.

One may be wondering why I am writing on V-Day. Good Question. I guess it's because I have nothing better to do. Tate and Cami both called me this evening. Tate left a beautiful "Happy Valentine's Day" death march song on my voicemail, and when I called him back to thank him for it, he told me to be grateful that I wasn't out spending the evening with "some schmuck." He then proceeded to tell me how he would set me up with his non-existent Brazilian friend, Fabio. It was the highlight of my day.

This semester is the most stressful semester I have experienced in my college career. I feel as though I am barely grazing the top of all of my subjects, doing just the bare minimum to keep up on everything. I hate it! I feel like I'm missing out on something because I don't have the time or resources to learn as deeply and fully as I long to. Oh well, I guess that's life. I can have anything I want, just not everything.

Some exciting things in my life right now:
  • I am the editor-in-chief for one of my class magazines. Our theme is  the How To Kollege Kids Guide to Kreativity. I'm excited for it. It's going to be a blast!
  • I made it into Broadway Review with my friend Kevin, and we will be performing "All I Ask of You" from The Phantom of the Opera.
  • My 21st birthday is in 4 days (though I'm not too excited for this). I always expected my life to be much different from where it is now. 21 has come way too fast!
  • I only have one more semester of college! And then on to grad school...
Ok, so my life really isn't very exciting. Last semester I had a couple of interesting things happen. Here are a couple of pictures of one thing that happened:


Our ward had a triathalon early on in the semester at Rigby Lake. I was on the tandem bike with Arley George and we were cruising super fast. We went about 1/2 mile and we had to bike to the canoes at the other side of the lake. As we were almost there, I jumped off the bike to run to the canoes. However, one cannot go straight from biking to running without some transition stage. My legs did not have the support I needed and I wobbled until I finally collasped--my full weight on my leg--at the edge of the lake. Everyone was so shocked and my teammate was like "Kandace! Are you OK?" I yelled at him "Just go!" My leg and foot bruised so bad! To this day, the spot I fell on is still quite tender. However, my team won! :)

About a week after this happened, I stubbed my left pinky toe very hard. I think I might have broken it because it still doesn't look the same.

Not much more happened last semester. I got the worst grades I've ever received: 3 A-'s and 2 A's. Horrible, I know.

We finished the semester off by pranking Apt. 9:



Until next time...
