10 9 8 I'm breaking away, I'm all dressed up and I'm ready to play.

Shiny Toy Guns' song Don't Cry Out is my newest addiction. Retro never was this fun.

I love my friends.

I feel for once that I am on top of things school wise and that I'm going to be ok with everything.

I am going to be studying my butt off when I get home so that I can only be in the MTC for 6 weeks as opposed to 12. But, like everything else, plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Today was a great day. I got a lot done. I was good about what I ate. I stayed awake in most all of my classes. Work was good, Obaasan came again. I love her. Also I talked to a friend of a friend who went to Sapporo on their mission and that was good. I can't really even begin to express how excited I am.

I am sad that my freshman year is coming to a close. I will miss everyone here a lot. I really do love it here. Even though I never get Starbucks, boba, Panera or Pita Inn. I just feel like for once, everything is falling into place more perfectly than I could have planned. I don't really know what I've done to deserve it but I'll take it. Although, it might just be that I have a better attitude towards things. I'm not sure. Either way, things are good.

Picture: more of Holi.
