Back To School

Just as the title says.. We all went back to school today. WHAT A BUMMER!!!! Although it was nice to see friends, teachers, the disgusting coffee stain that my friend Reid left in the theater room... I wanted to be home so badly! And even though it's the first day back and so far I have no big assignments to get done, I still am feeling that huge weight of school work back on my shoulders. I think that maybe this has something to do with my sister leaving. The talk in our household has been all about COLLEGE and about Chloe finishing off her high school years with good grades and good choices. So I guess you could say... I've had college on the mind. And I don't exactly know whether it's a good or bad thing to have college on my mind already.... Well really, it isn't THAT far off.. but still.

Last night I was laying in my bed for what seems like an eternity! I just could not sleep! So I pulled out my journal and started writing. When I woke up this morning I had this written in there:

Around the leaf the little bug goes.
Where she goes...?
No body knows!
We bet she's off, again, to conquer her foes.
And avoid being stepped on by her foes big toes.
She knows nothing of fancy shoes or clothes,
Or nothing of presents with huge bows.
But she knows of the spider and the beautiful web she sews.
She also knows of the poor spider's woes.
The little bug takes the spider to a beautiful red rose,
And tries to impose,
That this spider can also conquer her foes.
The rose has no woes.
The rose has no foes.
Comfort will come to this spider, the little bug knows.
The spider now knows and ,again, a web she sews.
She now knows she can conquer her woes and foes.
And so around the leaf the little big goes.
Where she goes...?
No body knows!

When I woke up and read this I figured I was trying to get across that the little bug represented me.. But when I read it to my mom she said, " You know nothing of fancy shoes or clothes??". And yes! Of course I know alllll about fancy shoes and clothes! Take a look at my gorgeous sisters and mother... and dad. But if you ask any of my family members.. I'm sure they would be more then happy to tell you all about my wardrobe.. and how it usually consists of jeans and a t-shirt. Other than that- I guess you could say that I'm pretty happy with this one!

Tonight at Young Women's, we will be starting off on finishing Megan's personal progress for her. It's going to be such an honor working with the other girls in my ward, whom I love so much, and helping Megan finish off something that was so incredibly important to her. And I guess in a way, it'll be helping all of us too. :)

Love, Hunter Bug
