Wedding of Bliss...The Inspiration?

*Random Thought of the Day: "Thou Shalt not judge others". I've taken to heart these words lately. It's actually more like "Thou shalt not judge your family". I've decided that ya know, my family can make whatever decisions they want to. What matters is their happiness right?

I used to be really judgemental and a little self-righteous. 2 things I regret to this day. I learned not to judge so quickly when an incident, and beggining of many trials, happened to one of my family members. I realize that judging others can lead to wrong assumptions and accusations. Sorry, but where's the fun in feeling like an idiot? And where's the fun in arguing with your family members all the time? So, I decided that I'm going to try and relax a little bit more(in general as well), and let things happen how they should. I suggest the same for anyone who feels this way. In Matthew, Christ taught of righteous judging. "Judge not that ye be not judged....For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measure to you again." Pretty self explanatory I'd say! The End.*

Ok. 2 weeks of school left. 2 BLASTED WEEKS! I can't wait to be done! College life is so rough sometimes. (I know, understatement of the day right?) Anywho, I think I'm going to make it through though. I'm still trying to have some fun and enjoy time with my friends, especially those that will be leaving and not returning, in just a few weeks. Sad Sad day! I'm trying to adjust to those changes! I'm usually ok with change. When high school was over, I could almost care less about who I stayed in contact with. I did with a few close friends but, I was so ready to move on with my life and make new friends, which is what I did. But now it seems that I'm closer to my college friends and some of them are now moving on even further. Its weird. Yet, life goes on still right?

I did get to take a trip to Las Vegas this past weekend. My older brother Brandon got married to his fiance Jen! Woot! I went with my dad, Anne and Mitchell. It was a nice ceremony, just in a hotel suite with family and a couple friends. You can see pics of the different sights and such. The one of the flowers...well-i think I found a new hobby! Flower arranging! I got to help with that and it was pretty neat! It was great to see everyone and Vegas is pretty dang sweet! I also got to see Hoover Dam for the first time! yay! And to explain the shirt I found that says"I'm too pretty to do math" Well-I had a "tramatic" math issue this week that involved alot of tears so I think i'm going to have this shirt made for me because it just works!

Other than that cool little trip, I'm countin down the days and trying SO hard not to lose my motivation. I already lost it a little bit while playing raquetball with some friends for almost 2 hours the other night and then running through the EAC campus sprinklers.....haha(: anyway.....

Starting tomorrow is our annual SPRING SING! Woot! I will post about that later.

Once that is all done, all I have to worry about is Finals. And finding a job for the summer....more to come about that soon as well!

I hope all is well for everyone! Have a nice [insert word here]!

Laugh...even when you want to cry.

*Random thought of the Day: I have two random thoughts today. 1-I'm madly in love with.....James Marsden. Haha-sorry Jason, now is not the time(;
I think I've proclaimed my love for James before, but I'm watching 27 Dresses as I write this blog and I just love him. Sadly, he's probably married and he's like 30 or something.


2nd Random Thought: “We work in the dark, We do what we can, We give what we have, Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task, The rest is the madness of art.” ~Henry James~

Life is art. I am seeing that lately. The quote speaks for itself yet, I challenge those reading this to think considerably about it and what it means to each of you in your own way. Send me some comments-tell me what you think!

Ok. I figured it was time to blog again. Nothing thrilling has happened recently...unless you count the fact that my stress level has gone up and down a few times[Don't act UNsurprised folks-its the first time this semester that I've about lost it! I'm doing much better than I used to!]and I had A headache for over a week. Bla bla bla....done complaining for the day! It does me none good.

Well, things are winding down. Approximatly 20 days of school left! [This doesn't count finals week...whats the point?] I prefer to see it in days than weeks at this point. I'm keeping up with all my homework and music events-master class, voice recital, choir concerts-gonna be a crazy time! I have truly been enjoying this semester, this whole year infact, but its definantly time for a summer break! Sadly, I will be taking a class online this summer but its well needed. And, I think it will be a self discovery in a way, taking an online class. I know what your thinking-thats random for Rachelle to say.
I've recently had a lot of self discovery for myself. Allow me to point a few things out:

*1: Focus. I need to be more focused. The reason I don't make connections or completely understand things in my classes, is lack of enough focus. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to fix that. Any advice??? I know its something only I can do but its taken me this long to figure out so I need to do something about it to help me pass my finals.

*2: Ok Cassidi. This one's for you(: I thought about how you once said you felt like you are so self-obsorbed or way into yourself too much haha. Something along those lines. Well, speaking of trading personalities, I've been that way a little bit lately. Ridiculous I know! Well, I realize it can push people away or make me ungrateful or [insert phrase or word here]. So: New goal-think about others. Not to say I'm always like this, I just sometimes think of myself too much!



*3: I want to accomplish something big. With my music. I look around at some of my peers, especially the ones that are music majors, and I feel slightly intimidated. There's so much I can be doing with my music writing and I'm going to do it! I want to see something of mine published. So, maybe you're thinking thats contradicting the whole self-obsorbed thing, but its not! This is for me. A sense of accomplishment is something I seek for. [I am a Warrior Princess after all(:]



Ok so, thats me venting. I have goals to be better. Maybe its because I had a very very wonderful Master Class yesterday, helping my voice to become better and helping me to have motivation in my music life.

And, General Conference was this weekend. I love hearing from the brethren and the prophet. They are so amazing! I learned a lot from their stories and wisdom! It was a great refresher.















Life goes on and I'm gonna work on laughing, even when I want to cry(:
Have a fantastic week everyone! Don't do anything I wouldn't help you with!
Shazam!
