one month!

It has officially been one month since I started college here at BYU. So far, I can honestly say it's been great! My roommate/suitemates are nice, my schedule is nothing too crazy, and I haven't failed any tests or quizzes! (Probably because I'm not in American Heritage-yay for AP credit!) Today was pretty hectic-I went to my classes, then started on a trek to review my old tests in Book of Mormon and PD Bio. For BoM, it was in the Joseph Smith Building, which I had never been in before because none of my classes are in there this semester. I walked in and my first thought was "It's just like church!". Between the smell (the Church must use a universal carpet cleaner or something...) and the paintings of scenes from the scriptures on the walls, it felt, weirdly enough, like home. After reviewing my test and taking notes on my mistakes, I headed over to the Widstoe Building (it's for Life Sciences, etc) to review my first Bio test. After review, I mustered up my twenty seconds of insane courage and got started on my way to declaring a major-hopefully Nutritional Science and Spanish! It was scary and exciting to talk to the advisors (both for the College of Life Sciences & the College of Humanities), but I set up an appointment in October and will be headed back soon!

I was supposed to meet with my Spanish Study Buddy today, but it fell through and we are meeting tomorrow afternoon before the football game vs. Hawaii (go cougs!). After homework, I discovered that I had a package waiting for me!

Oh, to be back in the Bay...

It happened to be a lovely postcard from my Dad and A's excursion up to the City on her birthday. For those of you that are curious, I received this as a package and not in my mailbox because our mailbox is broken. I came home from Idaho and S. said that she opened it one afternoon and it fell apart. Strange...

Among other exciting things that happened today: cereal for dinner, a math study session, a safety seminar in order to get a free pass on our next cleaning check, and finally breaking out the Dailey Method DVD and practicing it in the basement. And let me tell you, heading back into that kind of exercise is NOT easy when you haven't stretched like that for months. 

Dinner!

So it's time for me to head off and get ready for the epic weekend that is to come, starting tomorrow. I'll keep you all informed! Among the expected: stoplight dance, my first 5k, a music concert/festival, and a neon luau...
