On My Mind

There are a few things that are constantly making a ruckus in my normally peaceful mind. Here they are, in order of most ruckus-causing to least:

David Archuleta. I know you all know it, but I want to marry the kid. ...Just throwing that out there.

Apartment searching. Provo has about 12 times as many places to live as Logan, which makes it hard for horrible-decision-makers like myself to narrow it down. Not to mention 12 times as many reasons to be worried about getting freaky roommates.

Job searching. Why is it that I am so picky? Somebody mentioned the other day that my generation longs for and expects to have the same lifestyle their parents have now without realizing that it took their parents a good 40 years to get there. Sadly, I am part of that generation. I depend on nice living arrangements, cars, toys, and non-minimum-wage jobs. It's just not going to happen, at least not all at once.

5 years ago my brain didn't even come close to thinking about the above mentioned ordeals in my life. What caused my little head to race was what to wear to school, what boy I liked, if I was going to get to drive the car that weekend, all of which have since been bumped down, down, down on the list or completely disappeared.

Now, I have much more consequential things to think about. But, I wouldn't trade what I am learning and experiencing for anything. Even David Archuleta.
