Life of Bryn

I figured I would post since it has suddenly become popular again. So semester is finally coming to an end which is great! I have had a pretty tough semester so I am excited for classes to end. Nothing of significance has really happened this semester. The biggest thing was probably when Amy, Jen, Meg and I went to Arizona which was so fun. The biggest thing I am anticipation is the future. I am living with Amy for spring semester before she leaves for the mish which is great because I will miss her terribly. I am also really excited for the study abroad program that I am doing in the fall. I started a block class in march that is supposed to prepare me for the trip. Every week I get more and more excited. It sounds like we will be going to paris and Scotland and all over England while I am there. I can't wait! Everything else is going well. I am kind of lacking in the boy area but thats okay. Sorry there is no photo but I couldn't figure out how to upload one.

Locks of love....

.... I CHOPPED MY HAIR! It was slightly impulsive in the sense that I decided I wanted to do it, told Amy, and she pretty much cut it an hour later maybe. No time to think. Just time to cut. I have cut my hair like this before a few times, which is why it didn't really freak me out - if you know me, you know I always do drastic haircuts. I was ready for a change, especially for Africa this summer (woot woot) and now I can actually brush through my hair with complete EASE! You have no idea how happy that makes me! So yeah..... crazy, but here it is! What are your thoughts? Do I look older or younger now? I cannot decide.



Thanks for allowing me to be impulsive Ames!

Its been awhile.

Its been awhile since i have visited this blog. It was sad for me that people said they would post and continue the fun and then didn't. So i stopped caring. But i still love the initial idea of the blog (and am putting off studying) so here i am to give an update.

Time is flying past. It is really freaking me out. Unbeknownst to some of you, for the last year i have been considering going on a mission. For the past year, my life and thought process has stopped in March. I have known i would put my papers in, in march. The end. April wasn't a reality. At work we have to turn in our "time off sheet" by the 15th of the month for the following month. I completely forgot to do it because i haven't even considered the fact that April is only two weeks away and it is fast approaching. It is scaring me. I love my life right now and am not ready for it to change. I love my roommates, my ward, my social life, my job, pretty much everything.

My papers still aren't in yet but they should be by April. I am ready to have it taken care of but at the same time i need my world to stop so i can just relax and stop stressing about my future. Its a lot to handle.

Also i am really trying to pull my grades up. I have never really considered it before, but i might want to go to grad school. I don't want my lack of focus and laziness to prevent me from furthering my education. The most frustrating thing about it is that when i do try i get A's and B's and C's and when i don't try i get A's and B's and C's.  I have studied really hard for three tests this past month and i pretty much did just as bad as if i hadn't studied. It is very annoying. I like my classes and for the most part I like my teachers, but i hate their tests. In fact, even writing about it is making me mad so i better move on.

I really love my job. I have good days and bad days but i never dread going to work. i have formed bonds with my residents and look forward to seeing them and helping them. There is always an adventure to have.  Yes, i get poop and piss on me, and clean up throw up and bodily fluids no one would really want to touch. And i get yelled at and cursed at and stress about blood pressures and oxygen levels. But these are real people with real stories and i love them! and i have great co-workers which also helps make it that much more fun and fulfilling. I know that whatever i do in life, it will have to revolve around working with people because there is no way  i could work at a desk or in a store. My job is way more fun.

 Anyway, this is kind of a pish-posh post but it is what is on my mind. Mission= scary, school=ehhh, life= good. Love you all. Post if you feel so inclined.
