President Me

School has started up again. Surprises have met me around every corner; but it has been good. I wont lie the class I'm placed with this year is amazing! It could use some more older hot guys, but hey you win some and you lose some.

Speaking of winning. I won class president! Who would have guessed? I've wanted and waited to be president and now here I am! President Sheba! I bet you couldn't guess what my first action as president was? To get everyone to stop calling me president! My acceptance speech was horrible at best (I blame the shock, I didn't think I had a chance for president. I thought everyone could see the tyrant I am. Suckers!) and when I was asked about my vision for the class I couldn't think of a single thing. Well this class will now suffer for their choice. I feel so bad for them! Their so innocent! Oh well.

I now have 9.5 toe nails! I know that sounds weird, but I can't stop feeling happy about it! One day I will have all 10 again! Oh what joy I will know! I feel like I've done well for myself lately. President, 9.5 toe nails, the coolest seminary teacher and did I mention that I have been called almost pretty ever day the past week!? Its like a miracle! I've never been considered cute, but to have some guys, girls, parents and sisters comment says something! People I'm coming out of my cocoon! Sorry about all the exclamation points, its all so exciting!

I've begun Les Miserables by Victor Hugo and I have got to say after years of being an avid Pride and Prejudice fan I might have to change. I've spent a few days feeling a little lost. I kind of had the mentality that if Pride and Prejudice is no longer my number one is the sky really blue? So to end to confusion I've had to say this, "Les Miserables is my favorite book with Jane Austen as my favorite author." I've been practicing saying it so it sounds natural and confident instead of confused and a little forlorn.

As I speak of change and miracles in my life I have another one to add to the list. I like babysitting! Don't die. I know many of you have heard my horror stories about the little trolls I've had to babysit in the past but I've put that all behind me. I figured out I love little kids! Well, let me rephrase that. I love well behaved little kids! They make me laugh, I can color caterpillars with them and at the end of the day they give my big hugs and gather around me so I can read them their favorite books. If any of you ever need a babysitter consider me the gal for the job!

Fall has brought on a lot of changes. The air is crisp. The wind sounds sad at nights. The trees are changing color. Its all great! It moves me to song. Songs of joy. I haven't been writing as much lately but as my little heart sings I've been humoring it with little stories. The last story I wrote was about a little girl fleeing a city in revolution during the fall. Its a sad and rather touching story if I do say so myself. One day when I finish editing the thing I'll post it. I also have two other ones in the works of being created. I'll give you a sneak peek at them later.

Well my 10 toes call for my fuzzy socks and my feet are asking for me to give them a foot rub which means this: the creative juices are flowing and beg to be written down! How exciting! Its almost like being given a present every time a new story comes out. Its so interesting being an authoress! I'm definitely in the right field of work. Well I've better get those fuzzy socks and make sure I'm ready to face tomorrow as "President P." Have the sweetest of dreams everyone!
