did you see that girl?

Today I have been having a good day. I'm wearing a cute shirt, my hair is done and I actually was 10 minutes early to class this morning, plus I was even paying attention in history. Well I was walking to math and I usually walk outside. I was glad to walk outside today because it is so sunny.

I am walking up the stairs when BAM! I trip. Shoe off, book down hand scraped. The whole bucket. No one around me helped or laughed, which I don't know why because if I saw some poor girl biff it, I'd probably laugh my little head off. I'm sure that many people will be hearing about the girl who tripped up the stairs today.

The best part is that when I got in my car, I told myself how hysterical my life is and just laughed and laughed.... yep, I talked to myself about it too. I love days like these, and I'm not being sarcastic. Those dumb human things that happen make life more laughable. Have a good day everyone! Cheers

love, Maddie Violet

life

I haven't been wanting to write on my blog lately, mostly because school is taking its toll on my brain. Some days all I want to do is sit down on the couch and watch a movie that I don't have to think about. School isn't that bad I guess, but with everything else, it sure seems like it.

Who knew I would be struggling and have a hard semester with English? I didn't. I'm not amazing at it, but I think I do okay. My teacher likes a work load, and I feel like my writing has gone down to the pits.

If anyone knows who is hiring, I'd really appreciate a text or comment on my blog. My number is 801-995-0864. Yes, I did just put my number on the blog, but I don't have many stalkers so I am not too worried.

I am grateful for a Mother who is always willing to listen to be jabber on the phone. I love her so much and it's fun spending weekends at her place. I like being with my mother and brother. They are a heap of fun!

I'm grateful for my apartment. It's cozy and my room mates couldn't be any better. We love each other which is good, and on top of that, we all make our beds every morning. Now what college kids do that? None. So I'm lucky.

Planet Fitness sounds nice. All the time. I love it there. I love being there. I love the people who work there.

My week is going to be long, but I'll take it.

Heavenly Father loves me, and I KNOW that He always is watching over me. I'm so grateful for His plan for me. I am grateful for The Book of Mormon. I know that it is true and I know that by reading it, I'll be a little closer to Heaven.

Hope you all have a perfect day today! Cheers!

love, Maddie Violet

the romantics

Bright Star
John Keats- 1819

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou a
rt---
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors---
No---yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever---or else swoon in death.

love, Maddie Violet


p.s. Needless to say, I am dying to take British literature: The Romantics, which will be happening this fall.
