The Boyz are Back

Actually not really but they are all coming home this summer! Last sunday I went to my friend's homecoming mostly for moral support for another friend but it was still good to see and talk with him. A few other boys that I went to school with have already come home but this boy kinda kicked off all the boys I really hung out with. It's weird to think that it's been two years since I've seen them and I forgot how much fun it was to hang out with them.

On Friday night after Melanie and I had gone swimming we decided to head over to Bowmans and find something to eat but instead we ran into three of our high school friends who invited us to watch Inception because the previous boy mentioned had of course never seen it and neither had I. It was way more fun talking with them after the movie cause the movie was a little long for my liking but it was still good. I haven't stayed out that late for a long time and it was fun to see and have more friends home at least for a little while before they all head back to Utah State.

One year down....

So I have been officially done with my first year of school since April 28 when I finished my last final by 8:50 in the morning! At least I can say I lasted a year. For those of you who do not know for me to be able to say I stuck it out this year, is a miracle. First Semester was by far much longer and harder, second semester flew by, but had it's on challenges. I'm just glad it's summer!

I'm back in Kaysville for the summer I was lucky enough to get my old job back and I am loving it! Although it is sad that the kids ages 4 and under do not remember me in fact one little girl that would stop crying when she saw me before now brakes into tears every time I try to talk to her or even look at her, but hopefully this will pass. It's hard moving back home but in lots of ways it will be nice for one thing I now have a computer.

First week of school...2nd round

It's been awhile since I've blogged so here is a quick up date: I have moved in to my new place and love it! School started once again and it's going in so many ways much better, I am taking a Volley Ball class and couldn't stop smiling I have missed the game and am so happy to be playing again. And I've started a new job taking care of three kids while their mom and dad work. My car is hanging in but could easily not work tomorrow.

Moving....

Next semester I'm off to Logan Landing! I had a good experience living at Snow but it's time for a change. I didn't know if I would be able to sell my contract in fact I had given up when Jesse called me saying that USU Housing called with an opening in married housing so if I still wanted to switch contracts we could. My favorite thing was that earlier that day I was talking to my old boss about how I wasn't able to sell my contract and Jenny (future roommate) talked to her the next day telling her that I was moving in. I packed my stuff up put it in a corner in the apt. and headed home for the break.

I've only been home for a couple of days but I've kept busy I went to Salt Lake Friday, babysitting Saturday, and today I helped my mom with her job. It's been great I hope I can continue being busy I've already started on a few projects. I love projects!

1st Semester

I have now finished my first semester of college. It started out slow but November went by fast. I don't have much to say about school I am just happy to be done with finals!

Time.....

In some ways this semester has dragged on forever, but then when I think about it I only have a month until it's over! I've decided that chemistry is not for me. Which means I need to pick a new major. Luckily I've never declared a major so I don't have to change anything I just need to continue taking general class and decide what I like best.

I can't wait for Christmas Break I get to enjoy a whole month off! I only wish that I would be able to sell my contract before, but selling an on campus student housing contract half way through the year is not easy and near impossible. So if anyone knows of anyone that's coming to Utah State and wants to live on campus......

A Long Way Gone

For my Connections class I had to read the book, A Long way Gone Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, by Ishmael Beah. I’m not much of a reader but I really enjoyed this book and suggest it to anyone that’s looking for a book. I live in a bubble were I don’t realize what’s going on in the world, but this book has opened my eyes and I’ve begun to pay more attention.

We were lucky enough to have Ishmael Beah come to Utah State and talk to us about his life. We had an extra opportunity to write an essay on what the book meant to us and why we should be picked to have breakfast with Ishmael. I decided to write the essay and was one of the sixteen students that were picked for the opportunity! It was so great to talk to him and have him answer questions.

At USU

I have officially moved to Logan! I got here last Saturday (Aug.16) and started my first class today. The class I started today is a get to know the campus and what to expect from college kind of class. At times it’s been really boring but at the same time it has been very useful, since I don’t know the Utah State campus like I know BYU.

My roommates are all really nice and easy to get along with. I happen to room with a girl from Davis High that all my friends knew but I only recognized her name so it’s been fun to get to know her. In fact we joke that the Dorm Hall that I live in should have its named changed from Snow Hall to Davis Hall because all I have to do is walk out my apartment door and I see at lest three people from Davis.

I’ll make sure I get some pictures soon so you all can see were I live.
