SUMMER!!

So I'm really enjoying the nice weather we have been having here in Rexburg the last little while! The only problem is I'm in class or at work all day, so I have no time to go and sit out! When I'm on campus and have a few minutes I like to go sit somewhere in the sun! The other day I was doing that and my neck got a little sun burnt, it didn't hurt or anything but it did make me happy to have gotten a little sun!

This semester has been about the busiest one I have ever had, I'm really looking forward to my break at home to be able to relax a little bit and just be home! I've really been missing Kentucky a lot lately, I think its because I really do love the humidity! My hair, skin, and nails love it too!! As busy as my semester has been, it has been a really good one too!! I have some of the best roommates I have ever had, we hardly ever see each other, but the times we do have together is a lot of fun! Every night we have roommate prayer, and it is probably one of my favorite times of the day! We all share three good things that happened to us in that day, it is a lot of fun, and takes a long time but we all have a good time laughing and sharing! Also I really love my job, it can be tedious and a bit annoying answering the same dumb questions all day long, but I work with great people that makes the time go by faster!! My classes although hard, are all pretty good! I have 3 fantastic teachers, and I'm learning a lot of great things! I've met a lot of great people this semester, through my classes and other activities I have been involved in, I'm just really happy with this semester, even though I got overly stressed a lot of the time. I guess it is better to be busy than not have anything to do at all!!

I have decided to try and graduate in December, I submitted my application for that a few weeks back and I'm just hoping that I get approved! If not well then I'm just here for one more semester, which isn't too big a deal I guess! I'm still not sure what I'm going to do after I graduate, I'm thinking of maybe moving home to Kentucky for a little bit and live with my family, and help as much as I can with my brother and his wife who are expecting a downs baby in November, I will probably stick around for a few months and depending on whether or not I get into BYU or grad school or not I will move back out west and go to school. I'm still working on the details of what I should do, but I feel like for right now I'm on the right path and if I'm supposed to do something different I will know that when I get there!!

Other than regular life stuff nothing else is really going on, I'm just trying to get through the next few weeks of stress then I should be home free, luckily only one of my classes is having a final, all the other classes are doing just projects and presentations, I can handle that just fine!

Welp that's enough of my boring life, I just felt like I should update since I haven't in a while!!

Too many decisions!!!

So this semester has been a very busy one!! It has been a good one, but I will be glad when its over!! So right now some of the decisions I'm faced with right now are about graduation. I originally thought I wouldn't be able to graduate until July 2012, but now I am faced with three options, graduate in July 2012, and take some really easy semesters, graduate in April and take two really intense semesters to do it, or slightly change my major (yet again!!) to University Studies and graduate in DECEMBER!!!!! It does seem very appealing to be able to graduate in December, I would be able to get a job somewhere, pay off some of my loans, maybe even save a bit, and have some time off before starting grad school. Honestly I have a hard time finding anything wrong with it, I just keep getting nervous about actually graduating from college, it is a big step. I have enjoyed my college years, I've had many big adventures, I've gone to Europe, Mexico, on a mission, back to Argentina, on many road trips, and I've met so many wonderful friends. The thought of leaving all of it is a bit scary!! Although I must admit it is very appealing to not have to live in Rexburg another winter, in fact if that is what I do it means I only ever had to spend one winter semester here in Rexburg! I do like winter, but not Rexburg winters.

So now if I chose to graduate in December that's when everything gets more complicated. I could move home to Kentucky and get a job, or really I could move to just about anywhere and get a job and just wait until I get into grad school to go back to college. Honestly, I'm having a hard time making a decision, I really like the idea of finishing school and not having to worry about homework and college for a little while before starting grad school, but then it scares me to have to get a real job and go out into the real world. Well if anyone reads this blog and has an opinion on the matter please let me know!!

For now I will just continue praying and thinking about what I should do!!
