Back in the Burg

Well this week as flown by! I can't believe it is already Friday!! I have had a really good first week of classes. I already dropped my Psych class, it was just going to be way too much work and stress, so good thing I don't need that class to graduate!

I have met all my roommates, I still don't know them very well, but they all seem like nice people! We are all older, with the exception of one freshman, and I'm pretty sure I'm the oldest in the apartment! The first few days of the week I felt like a chicken running around with its head cut off. I arrived in Rexburg Sunday night and luckily was able to just unpack my suitcase since I'm living in the same apartment all my stuff was just as I left it! I was also finally able to bring back the cabinet that my brother has been building me, it is beautiful! I only have the cabinet part with me, I still need to finish painting and staining the top shelf part, but I will be one very happy girl when I have both pieces together! Below are some pics of my cabinet!! Paul built the whole thing, and I painted and stained, Paul helped me distress it a bit too! Sorry to all my other siblings, but for right now Paul has one favorite status!!

This one makes it look like I eat a ton of Ramen, I don't actually, but one of my old roommates left me all her food, I actually ate some ramen for the first time in years yesterday!!


Isn't it just beautiful?? I'm so excited about it!! I absolutely LOVE my cabinet!!

Well back to my week, because I know you all are just sitting on the edges of your seats because my life is just soooo exciting ;). Well after getting settled in Sunday night, and seeing some of my old friends I went to bed, Monday morning I didn't have class until 10:15 but I had a ton of errands to run so I had to wake up early and get them all done! Luckily I did, and yet I still had an hour to kill before class! My classes weren't too bad, my Monday Wednesday Friday classes all seem like they are going to be pretty easy. I have 3 classes on those days, and they are back to back, from 10:15 to 1:45, and then I have work from 2-5, by the end of Monday I was EXHAUSTED!!! Straight from work I met up with my cousin Barb to have dinner, then I went straight to FHE where I found out I was indeed NOT released from my calling and am in fact still Relief Society president! The from FHE I came home and went to bed!!

This whole week has been very similar to Monday, I haven't really had any time to just stop and think, I have also already been bombarded by homework, I don't think this semester is going to be unusually hard, but I am going to have A LOT of homework!! I'm excited though, I like all my teachers and classes, and I met all my neighbors last night and I think I'm going to have a great semester!!

Welp I gotta run, I have class in a few minutes!! I hope everyone is having a great day!!

Back in the West

Welp my summer break is quickly winding down to a close! I can't believe how fast time flies by, does it ever slow down?
Well I flew back to Utah on Thursday morning, it was a very eventful day, I woke up at 4am and had to catch my flight leaving at 6:55AM. Luckily I was able to sleep most of the way, but I must say, sleeping on planes is not one of my favorite things to do. I had a sort of long layover in Dallas, and to make matters worse my plane was late getting there, and so of course we were late taking off. Finally I made it to Salt Lake, met up with my cousin Will's fiance, who was sweet enough to come pick me up even though she has never met me. She dropped me off at temple square where I met up with a friend who served in KY, Bryan Leano. We decided to go do a session in the Salt Lake temple, I had never been, and let me say, it was AMAZING!! I can't wait to go back and do a session and not have to worry about rushing to get there and rushing to leave! I would have loved to spend more time in the temple, but since neither one of us had a watch, and I was worried about catching my bus on time we ended up leaving a lot sooner than I would have liked. Luckily I had plenty of time to change and go catch my bus. I made it to Logan with no problems, was picked up at the USU campus by my brother, and then was able to eat my favorite thing in the world... CAFE RIO!!! Salt Lake temple and cafe rio all in the same day, can life get any better?? I submit that it cannot!
Well now I'm just kind of hanging around Logan, I hung out with my best friend Ericca yesterday, and today. I also have been working on the shelf and cabinet my brother has made for me. I'm excited to get back to Rexburg and see all my friends, and meet all my new roommates! I'm also a bit nervous, this is my last semester at BYU-I, then after that, who knows what I'm going to do. I have a pretty good idea of what I'm supposed to do, or rather what I want to do, but from my experience the Lord has a way of changing things around, and I'm already starting to get the feeling like things aren't going to go exactly as I have them planned!!
Well here's to hoping I have a good and successful semester!!
