Holy Crap, and Update!!!

I want to write an entry for several reasons. The least blog-motivating BUT most exciting is that it's my birthday today!!! I'm 25. It's pretty much increderific. A second reason is that for the first time all week, I've had a chance to do something other than drawing! My new classes are from 4pm-12am and that's been driving me pretty crazy. It's meant that my evenings are shot, and that's when I get to spend time with my friends from church, which, to some extent, is my whole social outlet. It's also meant that by the time I get home, which is usually anywhere from 12:30am-1am, I'm so wired from drawing all day that I can't get to sleep for HOURS. This is the third reason that I'm blogging...insomnia sucks. Enough background!

It's time for....

The List-o-things I'm Looking Forward to!

1. My birthday potluck! I really, REALLY enjoy eating food I didn't make myself. This is going to be fun!
   
2. Going to the temple this weekend! I missed out on Ward temple night this Wednesday for class, and I had too much homework to go during the day. I REALLY want to go tomorrow, and will do everything I can to go before the day gets away from me.
   
3. Bethany Dillon's having a free concert on May 2nd. I love her music to the moon and the stars. And it's only half an hour away! It's perfect! Lunch starts at 12:30 and the concert starts at 2, if anyone's interested in coming with me.
   
4. Stake Women's Conference! We're doing all sorts of rad sounding service projects that I want to help out with! According to the flyer it ends at 12:30 on the same day of the concert. My plan is to stay through the end, and miss the concert's lunch, but get there in time for the show. However, there's a possibility that Stake Conference will be longer than that. If it is, I'm cool with not going to the concert. She'll be back next year.
   
5. The neat projects that I'm going to do for class! I was going to update my blog earlier today because I realized that I had my Maya files could get some screen shots of last term's work via school computers, but time ran short. BUT this term's going to be fun. I already love my classes - they're lots of work, but it's extremely satisfying!
   
6. Going to the gym! I've been trying to be more active in my off time. Animators do a lot of sitting, and I want to keep my health as best I can.
   
7. UP! I'm SUPER excited for Pixar's new movie to come out. Every time I think about May 29th, my heart skips a little beat!

And now for...

The List-o-things I'm Glad are Over!

1. Healthy Living Lunch! I was in charge of planning and coordinating a free lunch given at school. It was fun, but I'm really glad it's over and that I don't have it on my shoulders.
   
2. My 24th year. You know, life has just been getting better and better and better. It's been magical, and I'll remember all the neat things that happened over the last year with fondness.
   
3. The 4th season of LOST! Man, the writer's strike sure messed up that season. I'm liking season 5 a bunch.
   
4. TODAY!!! I had a BLAST in class, AND I even got 2 free pieces of delicious carrot cake PLUS a free dinner, but this was a really long week for me, what with the late nights and the friendless existence.
   
5. Puberty. Do I really have to explain?
