lauren elizabeth: November 2008

So I've been quite the blogging slacker...again. School has been the super busy, probably busier than I have been the whole year. So I guess that is my reason as to why I am so behind in the blogging world. I will try to be more up to date from now on, since my scheduale should be pretty easy until finals. So the past month has been busy like I said, and this past week I've had THEE worst luck in the world. I know complaining isnt really the most mature thing to do, but sometimes it's all that comes out. So first of all, I had a huge photo assignment due. I had about 70 pictures that I needed to take in a week for my portfolio. So I took them and then when developing them- i come to find out that NONE, must i repeat, NONE of them worked. So I got the lucky oppurtunity of redoing the ENTIRE assignment, in a weekend. And then to my luck again, one whole role, which is about 35 pictures, got ruined. I learned my lesson- PHOTO IS NOT MY CALLING IN LIFE. I will never take a class again. Ill just stick to my digital camera and taking pictures of just regular day to day things haha. On the other hand, I had a flight home last friday and of course, in my bad luck streak- it was a flight going to st. george. problem! i was in st. george already, and needed to go to salt lake. (luckily i found a flight the next morning) But when i got in town, I had to get my hair extentions fixed...and of course that didnt work so well, i had to take them ALL out. yikes. back to short hair for a week. Which was not my first choice but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do right. So anyways my luck wasnt at it peak. although when i did get home, Zach filled me in that I missed a very good talk in church about being grateful- and not only being grateful for your blessing, but for your trails as well. I guess I should have been there because it was probably just what I needed to hear. So during this Thanksgiving season- I am grateful for all the obvious things that I have, all my blessings and all the things that make me happy, but especially during this time, I am grateful for my trails. I've learned they only make me stronger and I learn from the situation. Zach also told me something i wont forget, you cant go through life without having a couple bad days, because then you couldnt be grateful for the good days.

I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving :]
