Blogging

One of the requirements for the blog assignment is to link to another blog. Easily enough, I read a blog every week called "La Dolce Vita," which is the mission update blog for one of my good friends Paige who is on her mission in Rome, Italy. I’m not sure if you could imagine better words to read than Rome and Italy when opening your mission call; my lucky friend did just that.  Though I have only known here for a couple of years, we became very close as our personalities melded as perfect as two personalities could. We met through a mutual friend during the first couple weeks of our sophomore years at BYU and UVU and have gone many places together ever since.  Her blog is a great read because not only is it funny and a reminder of her personality and humor, but it also serves as a weekly uplifting reminder of missionary work.

Daylight.

I think daylight savings time is a silly idea. Twice a year we must change our clocks and twice a year we will get confused. Many people love the idea of "falling back" when we turn our clocks back an hour because we get an extra hour to sleep. On the downside, the sun sets at a painfully early time compared to those nighttime sunsets of the summer. Personally I enjoy the flip side of this when us early-birds get to wake up with the warming sun rays rather than the cool touch of darkness. When spring time rolls around and we must change our clocks again, it is more grudgingly as we lose an entire beautiful hour of sleep and the sun attempts to get back on the track of normality again.
