a super sweet promise

sometimes im just so crazy busy that it's a miracle i make it through the day alive! today was one of those days...

i woke up at 8:30 and read my scriptures and a talk from conference.

i made myself breakfast and ate it while making myself lunch and dinner.

i got ready for school in approximately five minutes.

i rushed out the door at 9:41 to catch my 9:43 bus and got there just in the nick of time.

i went to the 450 recitation at 10 to start/do homework that was due at 5pm.

i watched devo at 11 in the clyde to save time i would've spent walking to/from the marriott.

i worked on my 450 homework during devo cuz i knew i wouldnt have any other time.

i met up with steven at 12 to continue working on our 443 lab and to get help from jae.

i reluctantly left steven at 1 to go to my inconveniently scheduled dance class.

i danced with a partner (actually 2) for the first time and it was very hard.

i left dance early cuz i had errands to run and things to do before my next class.

i ran to the bookstore to buy a glue stick which i needed at 2 for my 450 lab.

i went to the library to cut my objectives with the paper-cutter and read the pre-lab stuff.

i barely made it to my 2 o'clock lab in the cleanroom which lasted a whole 3 hours.

i met up with steven at 5...yes, again...to continue the lab and to print our schematics.

i did 443 homework in the analog lab once steven left at 6 and ate my dinner.

i stayed on campus working on that assignment until 7:52.

i walked home cuz i didnt think i would make it to the bus in time for the 7:57.

i went to the gym with rosie at 8:20 and stayed there for about an hour.

i came home and took a shower....and now im writing this.

with such a day as this, i thought to myself that i would rather be busy than idle. and that made me think of a scripture:

Cease to be idle;

cease to be unclean;

cease to find fault one with another;

cease to sleep longer than is needful;

retire to thy bed early, that ye may not be weary;

arise early, that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated.

-D&C 88:124

i decided that i need to be better about retiring to bed early. and arising early. we're promised that our bodies and our minds will be invigorated! and that we will not be weary. how cool is that!? :D

so this will be my goal from now on...early to bed, early to rise.
