The Climb

Yesterday was kind of monumental. For personal reasons. But so was today.

Yesterday, I went with my mom to Salt Lake to drop her off with friends when the car started shaking like CRAZY! We pulled off and it turned out that one of the back tyres' tread was ripping apart. So, we drove about 25 mph to a Walmart and got it fixed. This was lucky (that we could get it fixed right away) but instead of getting home around 8, I got home around 10:30.

Today, I finally got my schedule figured out. I'll still only be taking 13 credits, but thats better than the 12 I had originally planned, which was kind of like 8. So now I'm taking:

D&C

Comparative Politics

Geography of Europe

Spanish 101

Folk Dance Performance (team)

This may be slightly embarassing, but I've come to like Miley Cyrus' song, "The Climb," and feel its applicable at the moment.

I can almost see it

That dream I am dreaming

But there's a voice inside my head saying

"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking

Every move I make feels

Lost with no direction

My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying

Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be a uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing

The chances I'm taking

Sometimes might knock me down

But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it

But these are the moments that

I'm gonna remember most

Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong

Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be a uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb
