And today, I want to share something my mom told me today: No effort is wasted. Isn't that great?! No effort is wasted! Even if the effort doesn't result in any tangible or visible outcomes.
Also, I wanted to say that it's hard for me to be at school and not get sucked up in the attitude that being smart is the most important thing in the world. Yesterday I came home from my classes wanting to be smart so bad. Yesterday as I was thinking about that, I thought to myself, "I want to be smart...and social, and skinny, and spiritual, and successful..." Sometimes it's hard to not become overwhelmed here at BYU! Or remember what's most important. I need to remember that it's nice to be smart, but it's smarter to be nice. :) (Okay, so that's not how the MormonAd goes, but oh well...)
Also, it feels wonderful to be reunited with the BYU library. Oh how I love it!
Also, today I decided I need to be more humble. A lot more humble. I'll work on it.

We are impacted by our environment more than we realize! It's so good that you realize it! It's always a struggle to control that impact for the good and not the bad! I am right with you there in the struggle!
Your comment on no effort is wasted reminded me of another comment I heard. The smallest act is better than the best intentions. So when I intend to do something (missionary work for example), I need to do something about it! Even if it is something small. Oh, and Abbi, you are smart. Just know it and then forget about it!
Oh give me a break! you are such a smarty pants! :)
