Hmm.
I told myself I would come to the lab and do my homework, but that didn't happen actually. As you can tell.
Ok, I did some of it.
I really like how all my art classes are blending together and I'm learning the same things twice a day so that it gets stuck in my schema somewhere...
But I just got a new project that I'm totally stoked about. We are doing abstractions in 2D design. AKA abstract art. It's going to be so fun! I think I'll probably post a few pictures later so you can get a taste of what I mean.
So I went to my institute class yesterday and I felt bad because I was tired. I almost fell asleep a couple times. But I did like that we watched some of last conference because I totally missed it. I'm a terrible person :P
We read and watched Elder Wirthlin's talk and my favorite quote (which I realize is probably everybody else's too) was:
"Tied to this misconception is the erroneous belief that all members of the Church should look, talk, and be alike. The Lord did not people the earth with a vibrant orchestra of personalities only to value the piccolos of the world. Every instrument is precious and adds to the complex beauty of the symphony. All of Heavenly Father’s children are different in some degree, yet each has his own beautiful sound that adds depth and richness to the whole."
I could be wrong, but I felt like this was something I really needed to hear right now in my life. About the fact that there is a reason I'm here and I'm needed. Plus, as we discussed the talk, I realized that part of my problem is that I'm too impatient. A lot of the time I want to do it all at once. I want to change, but it's taking so long. I see that I just have to get through each day and that takes time. I feel like everything is going slowly. So this next quote helped me put things in perspective
"Remember, sometimes those who start out the slowest end up going the farthest."
I feel like that's good enough motivation for me. Guess what? I totally can do this.
It's true Melissa, not every day is gonna be five stars but sometimes when you struggle through a one star day, James was spot on when he said that gets 5 stars in and of itself.
I'd give you 5 stars any day. So there :P
This weekend poses a strange situation for me. Katie might leave and go home. I'm not planning on going home. It's too hard. Don't worry though, I'll come back in a few weeks.
But I'm really not sure what I'm going to be doing this whole weekend...
I'm sure I'll work on my art. And other projects that I have.
I like having options.
Ta for now ~

Molly, I miss you so much. Holy mariah. By the way, that first quote really helped me out today. You know, I've been thinking a lot about why all this not so fun stuff is happening, and I've come to some sort of conclusion, but I'll tell you more about that on my post tonight. Just know that I really appreciated that quote. Sometimes I work towards being the perfect person rather than the perfect me. Hmmm interesting thought. Well I love you tons. Have a great day, and thanks for posting. You're a gem. For reals.

Those are some good quotes... and so true. So you're doing a lot of art? That's cool... make sure you show us some, okay? :)
That's a dang good post Molly. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you're up here.
