Knock Knock...Anyone still reading?

If I were to receive a grade for blogging, I would definitely get an E (because you see, here at BYU, we don't believe in F's. We have E's. It's more alphabetically correct--I mean, really. Why did they skip the E in the first place). In my defense, I have started writing about 10 different posts, but finished with no avail. My excuse? I don't really know. Do you ever get in one of those moods where you don't want to do anything, and even the thought of anything that requires thinking makes you want to fall asleep? Well, that is how I've felt the past few weeks. Spring fever maybe? Who knows. But I am determined to get out of this rut and make sure this summer is one with no regrets.

My new job at the Census. Oh...the many posts I could write about it. However, under Title 13 of the United States Code, I am, by law, prohibited to disclose any information about the Census. Actually, I think it's just about any information collected through the surveys . . . but that's where half the funny stuff is anyways ;-) But really. My job. Hated it for the first two weeks. But over the past . . . 4 days, I have brought that hate to a "I really wish I could be doing something way more exciting than this, but at least it's a job". I'm getting there. It's pretty disorganized, chaotic, and over staffed, but that's okay. My supervisor told me I did a "wonderful" job as a phone enumerator today. I guess some people are just born with phone voices. I'll save more about this job for another post.

My new apartment is rather snazzy. It's huge. Way bigger than the Riviera. The rooms are upstairs, everything else is downstairs. This is rather nice, as I don't have to worry about some random guy walking in when I'm wearing a robe (because, yes, this has happened at the Riv). The ward seems good. I've only gone once, but I absolutely loved everything that was talked about. I cried during every lesson, and every talk. It was one of those days where it felt like EVERYTHING was directed towards me. The topic was on prayer and hope, and having faith that things will work out. That's something I've been struggling with lately, and I know that all of the things that were said were truly inspired.

I've started playing on Forrest's intramural soccer team. I have another posts all about this endeavor, but for now, I'll leave you with this picture:

And finally, I have a new obsession. Zumba. Laugh if you want, because I know, the thought of me doing any type of dance exercise, especially Latin, is probably rather humorous. I heard about this exercise class awhile ago, but until two days ago, I've never gone. I've been missing out. It seriously is the funnest thing ever, and such a great workout. One of my goals for this summer is to get in super good shape, and this definitely will help out. One day . . . very far, far in the future, I will be a Zumba instructor. Okay, maybe not. But it's definitely been added to the list of secret dreams. I will write more about this later.

So, there you have it. My life as of late in a nut shell. Stay tuned for more in-depth information on these topics and more...Very soon (hopefully).

And just to end, here is a quote that I read today that I am really trying to incorporate in my life.

"Let us recognize that fear comes not of God, but rather that this gnawing destructive element comes from the adversary of truth and righteousness. Fear is the antithesis of faith." -- President Gordon B. Hinckley
