Presenting Skillz

So today I had a presentation in my business law class. I think it was a breakthrough moment for me. I did amazing! I wasn't even scared at all. In fact, I was excited to stand up there and talk to the class. I attribute much of this to the club that I've been participating in. I'm constantly encouraged to leave my comfort zone and "just do it". It helps that I obsessively studied my case because I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to answer the professors questions. It also helps that my case involved the Westboro Baptist Church, Inc. Man are they a bunch of hypocritical haters....Ben and I were joking with each other about how they were going to end up in purgatory with all of the "Priests who rape boys" (apparently, they have a big issue with homosexuals and Catholics). My opinion is that they are not religious at all...they just want tax exempt status.

My mood has been incredibly unstable this quarter. It has nothing to do with being depressed or anxious, or at least I don't think. I'm just having a really hard time with the work/life balance. I feel so incredibly guilty for being gone so much. It has affected some of my grades, which I am struggling to maintain A-'s. C's get degrees, but A's get you jobs....especially in the accounting field.
However, I have been feeling a ton better, so I think I'll be okay if I study hard for the finals. One more week to go and I'm golden!! Now I just have until Fall Quarter of 2014 until my undergraduate.....
I have to keep reminding myself that I already have 3 full years of college under my belt. What is another year (and then plus my masters)?! I've made it halfway through so far. Not bad if I don't say so myself.

Samantha is now 30 pounds. It's hard to believe that at one point I carried her around inside of me. She has grown so much, and I love her sweet, caring, loving, and silly personality. She reminds me of myself when I was a kid. Penelope must be like Ben or something, because she is more serious. It's easy to get her to smile, but it is like pulling teeth to get her to giggle sometimes. But she is very observant. I've noticed Samantha doesn't really think before she does something, and Penny will sit there and ponder it for a minute before she acts. But one thing is for certain, they certainly do love each other very much, and their personalities are very complimentary. I hope they stay friends for life.
