I had the weirdest dream last night. For some reason, I was in a pool that was just deep enough that I couldn't touch the bottom and I was playing water basketball. Strange, I know. I knew some people there. A few friends and this one lady from a class at school. Every time I got the ball, I would start sinking and I couldn't move as fast as usual. I dunno... I think my mind's a pretty messed up place. Maybe that's why I'm not so afraid at looking into other people's minds. I'm pretty sure not many are as strange as mine.
Artists I'm in love with at the moment: Love and Theft, Keith Urban (obviously), Nickelback, Daughtry, Maroon 5, David Cook, Bryan Adams, Lady Antebellum, and Lonestar. I'm just as surprised as you are that over half of these aren't country. I did not realize that there was so much good music out there!
I've decided to create a homework playlist too. It has new-pop-classical piano songs on it. I'm hoping this will help me concentrate better. If not, then at least I'll get a new taste of music, right?
Reading has become one of my least favorite things to do. I used to stay home on friday and saturday nights to read a book. Now, I don't even want to pick one up. Textbooks have ruined this for me. I don't want to spend my time reading them or any other book for that matter. Sometimes I don't mind, but that's only if it's for two classes... the other 3, I dislike a lot. Two of those classes are interesting, but the textbook is badly written. The other one, I love the teacher, lectures aren't too bad, but I'm not really interested in the physical components of psychology, so it's not enjoyable for me to study for that class.
I went and looked up what my dream meant earlier. Supposedly water symbolizes some thought in my unconscious wanting to come out... the struggling symbolizes that I have some sort of inner conflict that I'm making a bigger deal of than I should... the basketball symbolizes teamwork and that I may need to ask for help with current problems... and friends symbolize that I think relationships are important in learning about myself and that I need to lean on those friends more. I'm still skeptical about dream interpretations, but I found this interesting, nonetheless.
Why is it that I'm so interested in learning about how my mind works? Is it because I want to learn how other minds work as well? Or is it some sort of self-discovery process? I dunno... I guess I'll just go with it and not question anything for the time being.

Jaron and the Long Road to Love, Psychology, Marathon
Jaron and the Long Road to Love. So far, it's not that long of a road. I love them already! The lead singer has an amazing voice, and I think I have a new favorite break out artist. He'll definitely get bigger as time goes on, I hope. The song "I hope you hit traffic" is really good.
Tonight I went to the psychology program opening social. I had a good time, met some new people, and hopefully will get more involved with the psychology club after this. Just so you know, my psychology professors are the best. They're all very intelligent, and most of them are really good teachers.
Dixie's homecoming centennial ball is next week... I'm deciding whether I want to go or not. I'd rather go with someone if I went, but I doubt that will happen.
I have just decided. I'm not really an optimist. I think I'm far more a realist. One of my teachers put it this way: the optimist sees the glass half full, the pessimist sees the glass half empty, and the realist sees a glass with water in it.
Keith Urban always makes me feel better. "I'll be over you and on with my life. So take your records, take your freedom. Take your memory I don't need em. Take your space and all your reasons... In fact I'll feel a whole lot better... You'll think of me."
I'm loving having music back on my computer :) It makes me feel so much better knowing I can choose what I want to listen to. I need music. It's always been something that's a type of healing therapy to me. Piano, listening to certain genres when I'm in certain moods... I think everyone does that though.
Wow... I must be tired... And I get to wake up at 4 tomorrow morning! ....Yay? At least its for a good cause. I love volunteering at the marathon. Every year, I always meet some awesome person that needs help or just stops to talk for a moment. Some people travel so far to come to the marathon too. I can't imagine travelling that far to go running.
It's crazy. Life's insane. And I'm feeling good about everything now. Finally.

Better than Your Textbooks!
God answers prayers in some very strange ways sometimes... Who ever would have thought that the answers to my problems would be presented in my stress management class? I sure as heck didn't. But, I'm feeling better about life in general now, thanks to that class.
The whole class was about stress and spirituality. This was a rather interesting topic. I had no idea that we would discuss the spiritual health of our souls in any college class. But I was glad we did. Spirituality and religion are completely different subjects, although spirituality can be expressed through religion. I know some of my friends and I have talked about this before, but I didn't realize that someone had written a whole entire chapter in a psychology book about it.
One point I found rather interesting, but I am also skeptical about it, is a study that someone did where they showed the affects of words on ice crystals. It was strange, not gonna lie. And I'm still pretty skeptical about this effect, but I wonder if it's true. In the experiment, positive affirmation statements created beautiful crystals, whereas negative statements created less attractive crystals. They also studied the affects of music and got similar results. So, I don't know exactly what to think about this study....
I definitely believe in the effects of words and music on the soul. I believe that mental and psychological issues cause just as much stress and take just as much energy as physical issues. Researchers have started doing studies that indicate that the amount of glycogen in the brain decreases with mental stress (such as willpower, traumatic situations, etc.). This goes to show that mental and psychological issues really do take energy from people. It's a rather interesting study, if you ever care to research or write about something in psychology.
Another topic we looked at in class was spiritual healing. We looked quite a bit at forgiveness. Here's a concept I never considered before. Forgiveness is only for oneself. Keeping in anger, aggression, and hatred hurts only whoever is holding the grudge. The person who did the wrong never knows about the anger, the built up tension. It only matters to the person who either can't forgive or is trying to forgive. So, that was a good study. Something worth knowing, even for someone who isn't a psychology major.
Well, if you cared enough to read this, I'd really appreciate to know what you think. If you have views, it might be fun to discuss them. Anyways, I doubt anyone will actually do that, so I hope you enjoyed reading! It's better than a textbook, right?

Charlie St. Cloud Review
Tonight, Nicki and I went to a movie. It was weird because I think tonight might have been senior night or something at the two dollar movies... Anyways, we went to see Charlie St. Cloud and I am in love! Zac Efron is on of my favorites and he really got into his character. I almost cried at some parts. I don't want to spoil it, but I must say there is a definite twist in the plotline later in the movie. I thought it was pretty predictable, but then it throws you for a loop. I love movies that do that! If I know what's coming, it's not nearly as entertaining.
So, we've been talking about the Self in my social psychology class, and this movie was practically a movie of self-discovery through the eyes of others as well as oneself. It was fascinating to see the main character grow in such a way, but also to fall and wallow in confusion and saddness for a time. I was fascinated by it at least; I don't know if other people enjoy this as much as I do.
As a movie, I would definitely recommend seeing it. Zac's character is the ultimate man. I would not mind finding a guy like that someday. My rating: excellent, you must see this movie! Especially if you like romance and drama. And Zac Efron is gorgeous and really plays his character. He's so good! I love it :D
Now to important matters. I finished my stress report today! It is pretty good, but not the best I've written before... It took me forever to figure out how to write in APA format. I can't use easybib anymore because I have to buy a subscription for APA format, so now I get to do all of my reference pages by hand. Yay... :P I'll learn though, hopefully.
I just realized this... I have a miniature glass piano above my bed. Maybe that's not the best place to put a knick-knack... Oh well. It's so pretty and I never actually realized this before. I love the piano, did you know that? My hand is sore from playing today though. And typing. That makes it sore sometimes too. It hurts so i guess it must be time for me to stop.
Sweet dreams.

Trivial Stress
I should be writing or reading for my classes right now. Thank goodness I'm done with my tests this weekend! One tomorrow, then I don't have another one until next thursday! Phew... relief. So, I get to write 3 papers this weekend. One, I'm supposed to write an analysis of this paper I need to read about fMRI's. It's not coming along very well since I barely understand the paper that I'm supposed to be writing about. One of my other papers is about stress and the affects it can have on one of the physiological systems in the body. I might post them once I'm done, but I most definitely want to post my last one. I'm way excited to write my last paper. It's a ten page research paper, and I'm doing it about mid-adulthood dating. I can't wait to start writing it!
Ya, I have an exciting life, I know.
So, school is really stressing me out. I think I need a break, but it seems every time I try to take a break, I have something else I need to get done. Well, I guess that's life, eh? I think I got so stressed that it broke down my immune system. This is a good guess, since I do not feel very good and can't seem to concentrate. It's funny though, because I used to cope with stress relatively easily. I did my work to perfection, and would spend hours reading or writing for class. I can't do that anymore and I'm not really sure why. I'm ready for this semester to be over already - the pace is too fast for me right now and I just need to slow down.
I don't think anyone actually reads these so I feel safe writing this. I'm scared. I put myself completely out there recently, and I'm not sure what's going to happen now. I didn't necessarily want to get put in this position, but I am and I don't want to get hurt, although I know that's practically inevitable. That's one of my biggest fears: getting hurt by others. I'm physically pain tolerant, but when it comes to my emotions, I don't know how to handle disappointment well. Have you ever felt that you're pursuing a lost cause? I don't know if that's true or not. I don't want this to be a lost cause, but I'm pretty sure it already is one. It hurts me to know this.
I was warned though, numerous times. I should've listened, but I guess I'm just too stubborn. I like to get my way, and a lot of the time, I do whatever it takes to get what I want. Determination: I used to like being known as a determined person, but now, I don't know if that's a good trait. It's scary what goes on in my mind. Most people would be shocked to know all of the things I think about. Even those people who think they know me really don't know who I am. They may know a few things, but I've never opened up to anyone completely before. I feel as if I want to though, and I already know who I'm going to tell.
Back to the real world. Have you ever listened to "Never gonna leave this bed" by Maroon 5? If not, you should go listen to it. it's quite an amazing song and makes me feel happy. I rather quite like Misery as well. Oxymoronic, yes?
I need to get back to school soon... Bleh. I really don't want to endure 6 more hours tonight! Then I get the lovely opportunity to study for neuroscience... yay. George Strait and Chris Ledoux are amazing. Just thought I'd point that out for those of you who do not already know I think this.
Most of my paragraphs start with I... Hmm... that's interesting. I must change this next time. But for now, I really don't care. Can you tell I'm just loving life?

Music & Reading
I have just decided that I love Maroon 5! They have some pretty great music. Just thought I'd let you know that I actually like some other music besides just country. Haha, I love country though... Last night, the Western Underground concert was pretty great, but I liked the opening act, Eric Dodge, even better. He had this song called Woman's World and I was laughing so hard at the lyrics. I love it :D
Ya, music has basically been my escape from school this semester. At lunch, I come home and play the piano (I think my mom wishes I'd learn some new songs...). Oh well. I enjoy playing, and I want to perfect some of these songs. Preferrably the ones I like. I really love Tocatta in D Minor, and Canon in D Minor (I think that's what it's called...). Anyways, it's the wedding march song, and it's lots of fun to play.
I think I read 100 pages of textbook today, not exaggerating. I had a test on friday, one on saturday, I have one tomorrow, one on tuesday, and another one this upcoming friday! I wish teachers would spread out their tests better. It's sort of my fault though... I haven't been keeping up with my reading in all of my classes. I only like reading for 2 of them, so the other 3 take backseats. One of the 3 I have to read and the other 2 I just get through by reading the summaries, bolded words, and captions. For some reason, grades seem less and less important the older I become.
Oh! The other night, me, Nicki, and Melissa just went out driving for not apparent reason. Somehow or another, we decided to find these guys Melissa was texting, and we found them at Walmart. It was an adventure. They didn't even say hi, but we went and sat in the back of my truck in the parking lot, just chilling. That was a pretty great night.
So, I think my printer is posessed... for some reason it keeps making weird noises at random moments. The weirdest thing is that the power's turned off! I just unplugged it because I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night simply because my printer is acting stupid.
That is all for tonight.

Simple Happiness
I think I am in love with Keith Urban's music! Honestly, those of you who have never listened to him must because he is simply amazing! I recently changed my ringtone to "I'm In," by, guess who? Keith Urban. Just thought I'd let you know that. Seriously though, his music is peaceful and so beautiful. I'm actually learning how to play "Tonight I Wanna Cry" on the piano. Since it's usually played on the piano, it actually sounds pretty good. I want to memorize this song. For me, this is quite a task to take upon myself since I am terrible at memorizing. The only song I was ever able to memorize completely was this Christmas song a few years back that I played constantly. So, my goal may be unreachable, but I'll still try to reach it.
Children are amazing. I've actually been thinking about kids a lot lately. Is that weird? I don't think so... not too weird at least. Today though, I had plenty of reason to think. I went to a baby shower for a friend and then later babysat these two adorable little boys. Shopping for the baby clothes and then playing with the little boys made me excited to think that someday I will want to have a family of my own... Not soon. A long ways in the future, hopefully. But some day... And they will be adorable little children. And I will be happy.
My eyes are practically dying, so I guess that means I should end this post. Goodnight!

My Boggled Thoughts
I have come to the conclusion: I hate zucchini. Today, my mom wanted me to shred all of the giant zucchini that we’ve picked, and I remember why I did not enjoy doing it last year. It has something in it that sticks to hands. I have green coating all over my fingers now, and it feels like super glue. No bueno.
I believe I have found the most amazing and encouraging song. It’s called One Day You Will by Lady Antebellum. I’ve listened to it over and over, and I must admit, it is amazing! You should go look it up if you want. The lyrics are so uplifting, and the music is beautiful. I love it at least, and you should too.
Let’s see… I forgot today was stake conference, so I got ready for church (I must admit, I looked cute too), and then found out that I didn’t even need to get ready for the day. This was quite disappointing news for me. I was really looking forward to learning something new today.
Oh! I straightened my hair! This is a huge deal for me because it means that I am really considering changing something about myself. Caitlyn wants me to cut bangs, but I'm not so sure about that. I’ve noticed that I’ve been doing quite a lot of changing recently. My room, my hair, my schedule. Now, it’s time to change me. I’ve been contemplating this, and I think I’m ready to change.
Obviously the weather has the same idea as me. It has been rainy, stormy, and wonderful. I love the rain. The sound of it in the middle of the night, hearing the thunder rumble in the background, and smelling the sweetness of the rain. There is no better feeling than sitting in bed late at night enjoying a thunderstorm.
So, I think I’m going to start writing more. I miss writing, and I’m starting to get weak with my writing abilities. I used to be able to write pages about nothing whatsoever and I can’t do that anymore. I must relearn that before school starts again.
Oh yes, school. I’ve been contemplating what I think about going back. I’m not sure if I’m excited, terrified, nervous, upset. I do know that I need something to occupy my time, but I’m not sure that school is what I want to occupy it. I am excited for a few classes, one being social psychology, but behavioral neuroscience sounds like torture. I’ll deal I guess.
I think I’ve run out of ideas to write about. Next post though, I want to put a few poems on here. Now, I just have to write them.

Memories...
As I look at my room, it is completely bare, except my bed, my computer, and a few scattered things on the floor. All the wall decorations are gone. The personality that has been so much a part of my life for the past 8 years... it's gone. Soon enough, the carpet will be replaced with a hard laminate flooring. My homemade desk will be replaced with a store-bought one. The blue ocean walls will soon become a tranquil green. And the ceiling will have the look of clouds. It will be the outdoors, but inside.
I'm actually really excited to have some change in my life, even if it is just redoing my room.
I was thinking about all of the changes happening in my house when I started thinking about all the changes that have been happening to me. I went through high school, made and lost friends, went to college... my life had its ups and its downs. Now, I'm graduated, I'm planning my future, and I need to be ready for whatever life throws at my doorstep.
For some odd reason, I started to think about the song, "Memory," from Cats. The memories from school started to flood over me. I remember one time sitting in my room with Tiffany, Jane, and Ashley as sophomores, discussing the most important topics of the day. I remember that someone opened my dresser drawers when I left the room for a minute, moved my books around, and started messing with little things they knew would make me mad. These were little pet peeves that now don't bother me.... as much.
Another memory just came to mind, and it was the first day of Success Academy. I was terrified. I hardly knew anyone in my class.... I'm not the best at making friends either. But, one girl in the class was sitting alone, and I sat next to her. Next thing I know, we became great friends, and from there, I became good friends with a lot of the other students in my class. We sure had a lot of fun in Success too... messing with the afternoon class, slacking off on homework until the last minute (well, I never did that, but I ended up helping those who did), our trips to Denny's, getting kicked out of class... I miss those times; the times that we were all together.
Oh how the memories keep flooding in...
I've had so many great times the past few years. I remember talking on the phone with good friends, a sleepover here and there, and listening to music while doing homework assignment after homework assignment... I've been stressed out, I've laughed, I've cried, I've lived through my teenage years and yet, I have a feeling that this is just the beginning...
I thought I knew everything to know about life. The truth is, I don't really know anything. Now, I know I have so much more to learn. I have so many more memories to create. A song just came on that I absolute love and it ... kinda fits... It has the word memory in it anyways. Keith Urban's "Making Memories of Us." Good song, then again, all of his songs are excellent.
So many changes are happening. I knew they were coming, and I guess I'm excited, but at the same time, I can't help but wonder what will happen. Even though I'm staying at home, I plan on having a great college experience. Memories are good and so is change. "Remember the past, live in the present, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall... there is only now." One of my favorite quotes.
Anyways, I'm starting to ramble and this is becoming a really long post, so I think this will be the end.
I'm actually really excited to have some change in my life, even if it is just redoing my room.
I was thinking about all of the changes happening in my house when I started thinking about all the changes that have been happening to me. I went through high school, made and lost friends, went to college... my life had its ups and its downs. Now, I'm graduated, I'm planning my future, and I need to be ready for whatever life throws at my doorstep.
For some odd reason, I started to think about the song, "Memory," from Cats. The memories from school started to flood over me. I remember one time sitting in my room with Tiffany, Jane, and Ashley as sophomores, discussing the most important topics of the day. I remember that someone opened my dresser drawers when I left the room for a minute, moved my books around, and started messing with little things they knew would make me mad.
