Welcome Back Kids

Half moved in, I decided to take a break from the chaos.

After dropping $300 on books, I'm starting to not look forward to class again.

The excitement of college has quickly worn off. It's just another day in the neighborhood.

Last semester I was attending orientations, meeting new kids, going to parties. This time, I'm procrastinating moving in, buying books, and waiting to get a check from Old Navy so that I don't starve this week... Back to the old grind.

On the plus side, my new apartment is much bigger, there's a t.v., my roommate is just as wacked as I am, and there are no math or science classes in my oh so lovely 17 credit schedule. There's room in the kitchen for more than one person, my bed isn't 6 inches from the ceiling, and I don't live in a complex surrounded by crazy freshman girls, and across the street from non-commitment pre-mish boys.

This could get exciting folks.

Stay tuned.

Here's to 2012, and the new adventures it holds for us all

Winter 2012

Winter semester has a lot in store for me, and well, I couldn't be more excited and nervous to see what it will bring.

A lot of praying will be done to help decisions

A 4-day-a-week German class will be taken. We will see if I still have it in me...

A middle eastern class will be taken as well. The book required is entitled understanding Arabs.

An apartment with 6 girls. Thank heavens for 2 bathrooms.

I will be freezing.

No Orchestra or violin. Poor Victor will be neglected more than he ought to be I fear.

A visual media class.

I'm ready to get this show on the road. I'm not packed, I don't want to part with those here that I love, but, I'm ready for school again.

Happy New Year Everyone

Freshman 15?

Freshman 15, a definite no.

Running daily (which by the way is an amazing stress reliever), cycling with the girls upon request, and nearly starving my last couple weeks of the semester, my freshman 15 is nowhere to be found.

My plumbers crack sure is though. Due to all of my activity and lack of eating, none of my jeans fit anymore. It's rather annoying. I've always hated belts, so when the time came that a belt would come in handy, they were nowhere to be found. Awesome right? So for the past few weeks I've been walking around pulling up pants.

Thanks to my wonderful parents who know that they shouldn't have done it, they went out and bought me a couple pairs of jeans. One fits, and the other, big surprise, doesn't fit. So, back to the mall we go to get pants that actually stay up. I'm more excited than I probably should be.

By the way, I'm writing to you via my new laptop. I'm a big fan.

I hope you all had a Christmas full of family, fun, food, Christ, and wonder. I know I did. Aren't Sunday Christmas's the best ones?

Merry Freaking Christmas

At an attempt to wear out my mind, so that sleep might come easier to me on this exciting night, (yes I do still wait up and listen for sleigh bells) I mustered up a whole lot of courage, and checked my final grades from this last semester. I would like you all to know,

I PASSED MY MATH CLASS

No, I didn't think I would, I was actually 100% sure that I had failed my class. But, for some reason, maybe God softened the heart of my not-so-sympathetic math teacher, I passed.

Not only did I pass math, but all my other classes as well. "whew"

At this early hour of the morning, I would be extremely content with receiving nothing else, and doing nothing else. This was a big enough present for me.

Ah, the relief.

Merry Christmas to all of you. I hope your holiday is as wonderful and joyous and mine is already turning out to be.

Be The First

Nobody knows this. I haven't even told my family.

But I might be spending the Spring and Summer in Rexburg working.

Why? That'll come later, I think.

Am I positive? Definitely not.

Oh the joy of figuring out your own life.

The Liberal Space Case

Yesterday, as an assignment for my history/government class, we were to take a lengthy online quiz regarding our thoughts on the federal government. I answered honestly, and how I felt the government should be run.

What were my results?

Liberal.

Wait. What?

I didn't understand it either. But, apparently, I'm liberal.

Call me up sometime to talk politics, maybe you will understand better. Heck, maybe I will understand better.

This week I've lost my student I.D. twice, $20, and my headphones.

Twice happens when you lose the first one, pay $10 to get a new one, and then lose that one. Don't worry kids, I found it, but boy you should have seen the position my body was in when fishing it from inside the couch.

I should be posting on my current events blog for my writing class, seeing as 10 posts are due tomorrow and I'm on 4...

7 days and I'll be back in Orem for more than 3 days. Exciting isn't it? I think so. Although, I might be coming home in a body bag after all these projects, papers, and finals.
