it's all in the state of mind...
I'm so tired of failing.
"The most essential factor is persistence - the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come."
-James Whitcomb Riley
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It's almost a cinch, you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world you find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind.
Full many a race is lost
Ere ever a step is run;
And many a coward fails
Ere ever his work's begun.
Think big and your deeds will grow,
Think small and you'll fall behind,
Think that you can and you will;
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later, the man who wins,
Is the fellow who thinks he can.

Jammin
This weekend was the ultimate.
My brothers have come to visit, and I love it! I love that they´re so versatile, and that they make friends so easily. I´m so sad that they´re leaving! I hope that they were having fun, because I sure did. Before they left, they told me who they liked the most in the ward, and it was hilarious. I am so happy that they came, and I will soon post pictures.
Maybe they´ll move down to Provo.....
They´d better.....

One of those faces...
You want to know something funny? I think I have one of those faces that looks like everyone else's. At least once a week, (for the past year) I get a "have we met before?" from strangers on campus. It even happened to me a few times when I was on my internship in Moscow, Idaho!After 2-3 minutes of reviewing classes that we may had together, it always comes up that I just have one of those faces. Not that it's bad - it's actually led to a few hilarious conversations. And sometimes I get compared to really pretty people, so that's always nice. I just think it's odd. Funny and odd!

Another Daily Double!
Look! Another 2 for 1 day!
Good news abounds for me. I finally bought my plane ticket for HEIDELBERG!!!! (!!!!!!!!!!) <-uber excitement.
I'm flying from Portland ->Dallas->Frankfurt of the 24th of August. I leave early in the morning, so I arrive in Frankfurt at 8:30 in the morning. I'll have to stay up all day, in order to get on the Germany sleep schedule.... that'll be fun! ahahaha
Then, I fly home from London->Chicago->Portland on 21 December. See???? Almost 4 months in EUROPE!
I am so happy and excited. Now that I have the ticket, it feels so much more solid. "No one can stop me now! I have the ticket!"
It still feels surreal, but I keep telling myself that this is for real. Everything is falling into place perfectly, like a choreographed dance. I'm so excited for this!

For the geeky ones....
For those in my family who wanted pics Eddie (that's the laptop's nickname), here it is! My family are all inner nerds, and I'm the only one (well, maybe my Dad too...) who fully embrace the nerdiness. We're not ashamed. So, for you closet geeks, here are pictures of my computadora!
For some reason, I just love that the volume and movie stuff are all touch sensitive, not buttons. COOL!
Ariel view. Check out that awesome keyboard.I didn't think computers could be this much fun! I'm loving it! :)

New computer!
Today my new computer came! I am so excited! I thought it wouldn't be here for a while, but SUPRISE! It's here today! I named him Edison (after the great Thomas Edison). But we'll call him Eddie for short.
It's so fast and fun! I absolutely love it!
