  “Don’t know much about your life.  Don’t know much about your world, but don’t want to be alone tonight on this planet they call Earth.  You don’t know about my past, and
  I don’t have a future figured out.  And maybe this is going too fast, and maybe it’s not meant to last . . .” (Celine Dion).

  It is snowing.  The whole valley is white, and I’m just having one of those mornings where everything is perfect.  Even though it’s not.  The hot chocolate from McDonald’s was watery.  The night was cold and uncomfortable.  I have a pimple on my forehead.  But none of that matters.  I had a perfect morning.  Wintery and Christmasy and wonderful.  I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

  Anyway.  We watched Thoroughly Modern Millie last night, which was lots of fun.  I’m really excited that it’s December.  I can’t believe the semester is almost over.  It’s all going by so fast.  And I’m anticipating nothing different for this month.  And then January comes and with it new classes.  Before long I’ll be submitting my portfolio to the BFA studio program.  Soon I’ll be out of this place and I’ll be a grown up.  Weird.

  Things are going really well for me, but I did want to mention something that happened a few days ago.  Another BYU student committed suicide.  I didn’t know him, but several of my friends were very close to him.  And even though I didn’t know him, I really feel for him, with him.  Suicide is such a terrible thing.  It is so sad that a circumstance would make someone view death as a more desirable option than life.  I’ll be praying for those who knew him.

  “. . . But what do you say to taking chances?  What do you say to jumping off the edge? Never knowing if there’s solid ground below, or hand to hold, or hell to pay, what do you say? What do you say?” (Celine Dion).
