Announcements:

Sunday is a rest day so, there will be no class. Instead take this chance to tell everyone you care about, how much you love them. All to often we become so wrapped up and consumed with our own lives that we forget to cherish what is easy to take for granted. Every moment you have with someone you care about is a blessing, you should treat it as such. Don't wait for a catastorphic event to remind you what is actually important in life. Find the people you love, wether it be friends or family and tell them you love them. Remind them that you are there for them and don't waste a single second you have together because, although no one likes to say it, that second could be the last. I say this not to depress anyone but, instead to remind you of all the beauty in this world and that we can't take it for granted. That in mind;

"Take too many pictures, laugh too much and love like you have never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of hapiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid it will never begin"
