that Italian said what?!!

that Italian said what?!!.. ... that is what our expression is supposed to be saying right now.  ..

(that's exactly what you thought, right?...we are doin' great...)

Speaking of Italian... 

1. Non parlo Italiano (I don't speak Italian...) 

and 

2.  I leave in 3 weeks. 3 WEEKS!!   

I can't believe it.  I have way too much to do between now and then.  

Finals. Agggh.  I hope I survive. 

Wish me luck.  And if you don't hear from me until after I get back, I'm really sorry.  I do, however, plan on bringing my camera and taking all sorts of pictures which I'll be sharing once I get back.  (I won't have a computer or my phone while I'm abroad.)  However--I will have instagram on my ipod, so if you want Italy updates, follow me on twitter or instagram.  !! 

Okay?

i am spoiled.

my mother.  is a great woman.  she insisted I have some cute new birthday shoes for Italia..

... And I happily obliged.  That woman spoils me.  Love her. 

{thanks mom! happy early birthday to me!}

Also, I pre ordered Nie's book, Heaven is Here.  Gahhh I'm so excited to have something to do on the plane!  {can you tell what's on my mind today!? Study Abroad cannot come soon enough!!}

dislike

1. Blogs that automatically start playing music.  Not only is it mostly obnoxious, it scares me half to death when I'm up alone and the computer starts blaring noises in the form of music that I am not prepared for!

2.  People who can't take the social cues you're done talking to them... You know the ones.  ...when you run into someone you haven't seen in awhile and eventually you don't want to be mean so you say something like "Well, it's been nice talking with you!"  and then they just keep rattling on about something?  ...and then the cycle repeats about 5 times until you feel the need to be really rude and just end the conversation?  Ugh.. I hate being rude.  So people---please just clue in!  Please!

2a: Rude people in general.  Enough said with that.  

3.  {this is not a dislike}  I love Justin Bieber's new haircut.  Holy smokin'.  Also lately he sounds like Jesse McCartney + Chris Brown, does he not?  Either way I still love Justin Bieber!

4.  .Getting the munchies at midnight  Seriously?  Does this happen to anyone else?!  It needs to stop because drinking water and forcing myself to sleep [is working, but] is not fun! 

5.  Freeway construction.  Anyone else fear for their lives every time it goes from 4 to 3 lanes?   Eugh. Gives me slight anxiety.


Okay.  I feel a lot better now. 

What is on your dislike list right now?

You are not forgotten.

Sisters, wherever you are, whatever your circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. 

In fact, He loves you with an infinite love.

Just think of it: You are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious Being in the universe! You are loved by the King of infinite space and everlasting time!

He who created and knows the stars knows you and your name—you are the daughters of His kingdom.

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf



Love that man.
