I was able to attend the CES fireside last night with President Uchtdorf and it was phenomenal. His words are amazing and inspired. I think everyone of any age can learn something from it so here is the link for you to watch it.

Sometimes

You just love LIFE!
Today is one of those days for me! :)
So amazing.

OH! And I kind of got to dance in the rain today - granted it was really mist and also it was more jumping for joy. :)

Seasons in a week

So yesterday I was thinking (a dangerous pastime, I know) and got this is what resulted:

Monday I jumped into a bunch of fall leaves as stated in the post below.
Tuesday I built this small snowman with my friend Michelle. His name is Doug O'Riley and yesterday he kept a bench near the USU Engineering building company.
Also when we were taking this picture a fellow student joined us in doing so - this made me smile.
So with two seasons in two days I was hoping that today I would get to dance in spring-like rain
and maybe roll down a grassy summer hill.
It's not going to happy today BUT with the weather looking to warm up for next week stay tuned to see how many seasons I can see!

Oh! When I was looking for pictures to post I found this and thought it was great - who thinks of these things? It is seriously real.

Dear USU Leaf Cleaner-Uppers

Thank you!

Love Heidi.
While you may be wondering why I am ok with people cleaning the color of fall up at campus I am looking at the picture above. I mean to clean up leaves you simply MUST make a pile and they had machines to help them do the Quad, so the piles are HUGE.
Today I had an O-chem test before my hour on the Quad with my friend Cyri and so life was meh but not bad. Then I saw them cleaning leaves up and oh how the pile was tempting me and Cyri said it was doing the same to her. Then came two people - one I knew from summer but I didn't know his name - the people cleaning them up gave us the ok to jump in the leaves and that's just what we did. While dirty and not very good tasting it was AMAZING! Kind of like this:
I wish my camera was not in some foreign state getting examined or these photos would be of me. (If you get the chance to jump into something fun - DO IT!)

So today I was actually reading all of my e-mails from my adviser. I found one talking about applying to med-schools written by a student. He talked about how he went and saw a medical admissions officers about what would be the best thing he could do to get into med school but did it as a confused senior instead of asking directly. The man saw through him but what he said I think can help us all in our lives. The article says:

"When he (the admissions officer) sees swarms of applicants that have covered all the bases but haven’t demonstrated particular interest in anything, he gets nervous. Why train doctors who can’t invest themselves in anything? He said he would rather have a student who is a glee club national award winner than one who has perfect grades, worked in labs and shadowed fleets of doctors. Only if applicants can truly care about something can they care about their patients.

I needed to think about how I would become a good doctor (not a good applicant)."

This made me feel a little better because grades are somewhat of a stress. I know that I need to find my passion. What I love. What I excel at. This is what a I want to do whether I decide to get a profession that includes more schooling or not so I can be the best me I can be.

This happened to me today - only through my jeans so probably not as bad and the stinger was quite easy to pull out but oh the burn.
Don't worry my days laying on the quad are not over due to small creature.

Healthy

I had perfectly good intentions of eating a healthy lunch today . . .

. . .until I left my apple home and my yogurt was NOT good how it went bad I don't know. Oh well I will try again tomorrow or just go visit a place on campus for good food.
