Life is so beautiful right now. All my recent anxieties have been resolved, and hopefully I will be able to start anew and prove myself in that class.
I dressed up as the queen of hearts today at school. It was kinda sad, hardly anyone else was dressed up. Maybe cause it kinda snowed. And then rained. But still!
That costume gave me strength today. I had an appointment with one of my professors that I was nervous about. But wearing a pretty dress, striped socks, and heels gave me confidence. At the very least, it served as a good ice breaker. But everything worked out wonderfully and I am blissfully happy.
It reminded me of this one time a girl bore her testimony in sacrament. She was new in the ward or something, and she was kind of introducing herself, and she basically said, "I have a past. You may look at me and see my tattoos, but don't judge me for it. These gave me strength at certain times in my life."
Strength.
And I believe it, I think it's true. But is it a sin to be drawing strength from material things?
I probably just say that because I've been reading too much St. Augustine.
Anyways, here's the point of the thing: I go to a nice school. People here are so nice. I never feel threatened around here. Maybe this is true of most colleges, and I'm just comparing this place to high school where people are mean and retarded.
I just wanted to give BYU some kudos, after all the crap it gets from the Daily Universe.
