Holy smokes! I literally have no life outside of school and basketball. Life is crazzzzy!! Its a good thing for FHE and church on Sundays or else I would have zero friends other than my team and roomies. Not that they're not great people!! :) Even when im home, im locked in my room doing homework. How joyful the school year is! Nawwwwwt.
Welp, we finished pre-season for the 2011-2012 year! And we're 5-4. The four losses came from some very good CIS teams that we played, and I can deffinately say that they were wins in our books, because we learned so much from those games. Played our hearts out, and walked away with our heads held high. Well...I cant say that I was exactly happy with the loss...because lets get real here, I am an insanely competative person! And I HATE to lose. But...after giving it some thought, my coach was right. Haha! Not gonna lie, if we dont make it to Nats this year (Nationals) Im going to be one very upset little lady!! We have a SICK team this year. And im gonna go out on a limb here and say, yes, we are good enough to go to Nats. Anyways, league starts this weekend against Med. Hat, and im suuper excited! I cant wait to get goin and start playin our games! :)
School sucks, what else is new? As much as I complain about it however, I very much enjoy the routine and the crazy people that attend Mount Royal. Seriously, I laugh almost everyday at the silly things, myself included, that happen to people. One day, im going to go a full day without embarassing myself. I will do it I tell you! (Whoever you may be....) MIght be hard..but ill get there one day!
Anyways, Keith is leaving for his mission soon. HOly crow. Not ready for that day to come, thats for sure!! But, it will, and ill cry, and he'll leave. But he will do sooooooo great!! I cant wait for him to get out there and do some work!!
Well, its 130am here, and I should be studying. But I took a break. Im pulling my first all nighter of the year! Wahooo......im so excited. Please note that my all nighters consist of me passing out by 4am or earlier. Wish me luck!!!
Keep smilin ladies and gents!!

A Win's a Win!
So, the year has kick started at MRU, and there are a few things that I have learned, yes, im in my third year and im still learning the ways of the world at University.
1) No matter what cluster of courses you need, if there is a language course, DO NOT take it. I am taking French right now, because I thought, "Oh sweet! Ill learn a new language and get a course out of the way." Not so. Its so frustrating! French 1109 is deffinately not for me. Thank heavens for my friend Jared who is graciously helping me on occasion while I stumble through phrases and stutter across accents. All I can say is, its gonna be a long semester, for us both! Haha.
2) As much as you think you know someone, he or she might still surprise you. I have met so many new people, and lost a few as well unfortunately. Thats how life goes though. Win some, ya lose some. Its funny to me, how people can go from being so, comfortable and united with one another, to being almost strangers. Time passes, people change, but it saddens me to know that although the memories are still there with that person, there will never be anymore to come. But, thank the Lord for all of the people he has blessed me with, and all of the people that are still in my life!! I love you all :)
3) No matter what life throws at you, find something positive in it. There have been countless times where I have taken things the wrong way, had something been said about me, had a late assignment, missed a class, had a crappy game/practice...ETC!! But I have come to learn, that no matter what, if I want to keep myself sane, I have to have a positive outlook on life! Everybody had challenges, everybody has trials. But not everybody will face them head on, and come out with things still in place. For me, I have to remember to keep smiling, and LAUGH. A smile is the easiest thing to do! When something goes terribly wrong, it might take a while for that smile to get there, but find something in your day, or someone else's day, to smile about!!
And last but not least, be nice to yourself. Im pretty sure every person, girls especially, go through phases where they are not happy with themselves, and im speaking mainly about our bodies. We live in a world where beauty is everything. But thats not so. Its crazy to me to think, that beautiful girls are going unnoticed, simply because they have a bigger butt, bigger hips, or more curves to them! Rock those curves!! Bootylicious!! Frick, I have to be so positive because I do find myself getting down on myself on occasion, and I dont need to be. If im eating healthy, kickin my butt at the gym, and SMILING. Im going to be happy with myself.
So, what have you learned lately? Have you helped someone else smile today? The best way for you to smile, is to help someone else. I loooooove giving service. I feel so fantastic afterwards!
So have a good week, and take what you can get! Make it positive! Because I know for a fact, that no matter how crappy your day might be, someone else is having a worse one! So keep smilin folks!
Until next time! :)
