So, this semester has been crazy for me. No, it hasn't been as hardcore as last semester, but I can't for the life of me get caught up on my medieval Spanish lit class. At any rate, I haven't been very good at getting sleep this semester. As a result, I woke up a bit late today. Thankfully, I have wonderful roommates and convivimos quite amablemente. As I spoke with one while getting ready this morning, I realized I was running late for class. "It would be nice if someone would offer me a ride to school. Meh, I need to walk and get exercise, so whatevs." I left the apartment late, realizing that the odds were that I'd make it to class a few minutes late, but I'd deal. Well, as I crossed at an intersection, I heard someone call my name, offering me a ride! I know it's simple, but it was most assuredly a reminder to me that Heavenly Father knows me and hears my silent prayers.
Hehe, and it turned out that I still got a bit of a workout because I had to climb the massive stairs from the campus parking lot up to main campus, while making to class just on time. Perfect. And the day just got better. Shoot, I even got in a mini siesta!
Oh, yeah, another blessing: I enjoyed Valentine's Day boyfriendless! (You'd think I'd be used to is by now, but...no.) I was making quite a point of being a bah humbug in the true sense of the phrase, but I remembered some advice my mom gave me last year when I was acting the same way. She told me to serve others and make it enjoyable for them. To follow her advice, I made peanut butter cookies to give away and I bought chocolates for my students. Later, for Family Home Evening (FHE), I bought SweetTart hearts for us to use in writing messages for absent group members.
To my delight, I came home to daisies on my bed and a Little Mermaid valentine! To end the day even more happily, my brother and his fiancée came over, bearing gifts of chocolate-covered strawberries, mini roses por parte de mis padres, and a book entitled, "A Certain Je ne Sais Quoi:The Origin of English Words Used in English." My family sure knows me well and loves me!
