first days

so far august has completely changed my life.
  • i officially finished my first year of college
  • i did horrible in econ 110, again, proving that business is not for me (sadly)
  • i was a peer mentor at FOL where i met a new family who have drastically improved me
  • i participated in the best session of Traditions of Honor at NSO i have ever attended
  • i actually found someone that i like and that everyone else likes for me =]
  • i finally am living with Courtney, Larlee and Emily at The Colony
  • i started my first day of Sophomore year yesterday with English 251 (which i already looveee), New Testament with a new professor who i can tell will make me work to understand the Gospels, Mission Prep with Brother Bott (the best rated professor in the US) where i know at least 5 people
  • i experienced my first day as Student Honor Vice President for Fall term and loved it
  • i feel like this is the year i will officially get a job
so much has happened this month; i believe i have the best life. a crazy one, but the best one. i love my parents and my siblings and wish i could share it all with them. i love my byusa family and am so pleased at their warm hearts and welcoming arms. i love my roommates and couldnt be happier to share an entire year with them. i love my heavenly father for blessing me with so many beautiful people in my life and allowing me to serve them and help them to be as happy as i am.

BSADI


B.S.A.D.I.
My friend Kirt writes those letters at the bottom of every letter he sends me and I think I finally figured it out. He's a wonderful person. I should have gone to his farewell in January but I didn't. He's serving in Mexico City till February 2012. He truly is one of the best people I know. I miss him. I'm sure he's a fantastic missionary. Be strong and do it he always tells me. He throws some other acronyms in there too but I don't recall those specific letters. Oh, Kirt.
Even though this isn't me, this was from his birthday, September 12 (which, PS, is my birthday too).

ECONOMICS

this class. its not so much that's it's a lot of work, which it is, or that i struggle with understanding my professor, which i do, but that the tests are so difficult for me. why cant it just be what we study in class?? the online homework assignments are no what we need to study for the final nor does sis M give us a review that we can study. its just frustrating. i really wanted to do well this time around and i fear that i won't. how frustrating.

another thing that is frustrating is that i CAN NOT log into the byu students all sports pass log in page!!!!! i NEEEEEEED my sports pass! i need to go to the games with my girls! what if theyre sold out and i cant get one!??!! that would be horrible...
