Sometimes I wonder "Why does Heavenly Father bless me so much when I really don't deserve it?"
Today wasn't a horrible day, but it wasn't the best day of my life either. I was late for church, and missed sacrament, which was disappointing, then had a friend try to make me feel bad for it even though it wasn't my fault.. Then I have another friend that TRIES constantly to frustrate me.. and he succeeds all too often! It isn't very kind of him to do that, but I can't make someone kind if they don't want to be.
Obviously I'm grateful that I have the best parents in the world, that taught us so well in many things, but specific to this blog, how to treat others, and how to be polite, and considerate of others. Like I said, I'm grateful for that, and It makes me happy to treat others well, but I think this knowledge also makes me more frustrated inside at people who don't know how to treat others. I just can't imagine finding any type of satisfaction in making someone sad, or insecure, or upset at all.
So, I a little bit lost my patience with someone today, and I feel bad.. but he doesn't.. *sigh*
Anyway.. later, I talked to a GREAT friend on Facebook, and He always makes everything better, and he did an especially good job this time :) He just makes me smile inside and out!
THEN as if that wasn't enough, I talked to another friend, briefly and he made me feel good too. I didn't even say anything about a hard day.. he's just that good!!
They obviously also have some pretty great parents that taught them to be kind, and to have Christlike love for everyone..
I'm glad Heavenly Father reminded me that He loves me, and that he put some pretty awesome people in my life. I'm definitely giving props to Chris and Dave. They deserve the credit for SURE!!! Thanks for being so awesome!!

It's tuesday, and it's already been a GREAT week ;)
Me too..
haha just kidding... it's comin.
So, when does your week start? I say Monday. Sunday is a good end to a week.. then Monday starts of a new set of days full of school, and other adventurous things..
Monday- I woke up, and was kinda panicked not because I was late, but because I couldn't remember what time I normally take the bus. Usually, I get to school about an hour early, but, lately, I've been getting the later bus that gets me there about 15 mins early.. ANYWAY, I had a test on Monday, so I wanted to get there good and early, and was so tired, I couldn't remember what time the bus was... so, I ended up being there almost a whole extra hour early.. haha.
So had my test at 10am, and finished by about 10:35am. Left, went to the gym, watched ppl workout.. haha just kidding.. I actually did gym-type things for a bit.. then went home.
Then, had an appointment with the sisters.. gooood lesson! :) :) Couldn't stop smiling, and missing my mission!
Went home, then soon after, Nathaniel Came to pick me up to go to his sister, Katrina's house to hang out a bit.. we hung out, talked, and they enjoyed some left over birthday cake of Nathaniel's (August 27th is his bday by the way.. lol)
We left, cause I had to study for my test the next day, and Nathaniel still wanted to go to the Gym. As we were leaving, Nathaniel asked if I wanted to go check out the temple... and I said no, since we'd be going on the weekend anyway, and he had to go to the gym and it was getting late etc.. now, I realize, I should have said yes..
We got to the MacKay bridge, and because of construction, there was only one lane that we needed to merge into.. and There was an 18-wheeler a little ahead of us.. Nathaniel thought he could get ahead of it before the lane narrowed into one.. but he couldn't, and he realized that, so he stopped. But the back of the truck still hit us. It wasn't bad injury wise.. I'm quite sure that Nathaniel is worse off over all.. He didn't get physically hurt, but he's super stressed!
I feel so horrible, cause I definitely didn't make things easier for him. He's unnecessarily worried about me!The truck hit my side of the car, and I hit the back of my head on something.. but It really wasn't that bad. I went to the hospital, and they did a lot of unnecessary things, as you can see in the Picture.. also, you may notice my phone.. yes, it is permanently attached to my hand :D even in insane situations :)
Anyway, got out of the hospital pretty quick, then when I finally fell asleep, I dreamt about the accident all night! Woke up, had a headache, and my neck was sore. When I stood up I felt hot and kinda nauseous.. but that eventually went away. Now I'm basically just down to a sore neck.
They joked about cutting my hair/shaving my head. NOT funny! haha.. and the guy putting the brace on me said I had a long neck.. Pretty sure he was complaining... but I wasn't :).. well not complaining about the compliment.. he was putting it on and was like "i'm pretty sure this is...." and i said "uncomfortable, yep!" haha i didn't listen to what he really meant to say, I just laughed at my funny :)
Well, that's the adventure of Nathaniel and I.. We are ok :D

Andiamoci!
Welp,
I'm typing this at Nathaniel's. He and Jade are hanging out.. It's fun... haha
We just watched "Taken" it's brutal!!!!! Happy ending though.. I guess..
Who has pet peeves?? I know I do!!! ( example: people not listening or SUPER interrupting are a couple, OH and talking about you as if you aren't here..)
People can leave a comment if they have them :) It's fun hearing other people's.. they are often weird.. I'm pretty sure I learned what a pet peeve was from that show on tv... it was called... Jonovision!! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonovision ) Member that? wasn't there like segment or something dedicated to pet peeves?? maybe not? I don't remember..
Well, I'm teaching italian, to unwilling students.. and by "unwilling students" i mean.. my friends that get annoyed by me speaking italian.. hence the "Andiamoci" - "Let's Go" I just taught that to Jade. She's the most willing student.
well, peace out gangsters... I know this was boring.. but that's me, especially now..

Oh, il mio cuore
Friend,
Ci sono tante cose che sta succedendo, che non mipiace...
Rough weekend, rough night, and rough morning!I learned in Psychology, that the weather doesn't ACTUALLY affect your mood... if you're gonna have a happy day.. it doesn't matter if it's cloudy, you'll still have a happy day... BUT i think that, since i'm not having a happy day.. the clouds just add to the junky-ness of the day...
I love Nova Scotia.. it's home. It's pretty, and though many nova scotians are crazy... it's very unique and great! BUT, I very much dislike that it is SO far away from so many people that I care about.
Friends- I don't like being a "back-up friend"... It's like I'm a friend until they find something better.. and then when the "better" doesn't work.. Its back to me again.. I don't mind the friend part.. I just don't particularly enjoy the beginning of the temporarily ditched period.. Makes me sad.
I like my blog..
Well, time for the worst class I'm taking.
Peace!

Holy Moly!
I am so sure I posted last week.. that may have been a dream. ..
My dreams lately have been 'real'. I WISH. I had a GREAT dream the other night.. It was a night long conversation with a super awesome person.. I was really happy when I woke up, and then was really sad when I realized it didn't actually happen.
So, today my super amazingly cute niece SOPHIE is one month old!!! and She is literally getting cuter every single day!!!
Thanksgiving was enjoyable.. Would have been better if Alec was able to come home. It's good having Amy back in NS.. so that it isn't so impossible to have us all together again.
I died my hair.. it looks the same.. depending on who you talk to. My roommate, Amberle noticed as soon as she saw me. Rodney didn't notice even after it was pointed out.. haha, AND he claims to be good at noticing those things. hummm.
Anyway, it really isn't super different. I just got rid of the horrible roots and the highlights.
welp, time to go for now, friends.. have an enjoyable day!!
