The True Meaning of Schmitty

So i came across the definition of Schmitty on Urban Dictinoary randomly today.  I have to say it explains a lot about my life- it truly describes me to a tee;) Here it is:

1. noun - A hypothetical person who is always a bit cooler than everyone, has more stuff than you, is better in every way.

2. verb - Doing something a little better than someone else, or buying a better version of something.
   ex: My tv is better than yours, you got Schmitty'd!!

So now you all know the true reason for my awesomeness! haha jk, i just thought it was very ironic and hilarious!!


 An 8am class, two tests, anatomy, and two meetings after all that, sounds like a rough day.  Oh contrare!! despite these unfortunate circumstances I quite enjoyed my day! It was a beautiful day in the SLU neighborhood (hope you all caught the reference to Mr.Rogers there).  My tests turned out to be super easy, I think I did really well on both of them, and I didn't even study that much or stress out about them.  Like my sister stated in her blog today, I really think the key to successful test taking is not to freak out and stress and stay up all night studying.  Getting plenty of sleep and just accepting that you can only do the best that you can do is really the best way to go into a test.  My best friend Katy Biddle has some steps to successful test taking:
1. Get a good night's sleep
2. Sleep with the material under you pillow
3. Eat a good breakfast
4. Walk into that test like you OWN that test (extravagant z snap while saying this one)
5. Keep a Rosary in your pocket to remind yourself of the help you always have from God
6. Chew gum (just not too loudly that you distract the other test takers, they won't like you then)
7. Pray to St. Joseph Cupertino, the patron saint of test taking

I'd have to add just don't stress too much, it'll only make you nervous and less capable of doing your best.  So anyways, my tests went well and anatomy was actually not too bad today. I payed attention better than usual and found it pretty interesting.  Then I had two meetings after my long day of classes.  The first was really exciting because it was about studying abroad in Madrid!! It's guaranteed that all the classes I need will be offered at SLU Madrid!!! Can't wait for spring semester of next year!! The next meeting was the Students for Life meeting.  It's our pro-life group on campus and this was the first meeting I've been to.  It was really interesting and I already signed up for a few different things that will help spread the culture of love!! I'm really looking forward to being more involved in this group, especially since it has very personal meaning to me, since my family will grow larger through women choosing adoption for their unplanned babies!! Then finally I ended the day with a small little mass in my residence hall.  I got to be the altar server and minister the Blood to everyone present.  Being a Eucharistic Minister totally amazes me every time I do it, cuz it's kind of like bringing salvation to the people around you, woah!  Then everyone at mass socialized around some ice cream and root beer and talked about the 90's and our favorite bands!! Now I just really can't wait to go to bed and wake up to a new beautiful day!! This weather really changes the mood around campus!! People are way more cheery!
