First Day of Class


Well, it's official: I'm a college student! Ok, it's really not that exciting. I had to join this group called Freshman Academy to get on-campus housing, and it basically puts my into this housing group, and we are in the same ward, and have the same (small) classes, and there are like activities to do and stuff. They also force you into an envelope of classes, even if you've already taken them. I dunno, I think FA just makes it seem too much like high school, which I am SO OVER. lol. But seriously, I came here ready for the "college experience" but I got a repeat of high school for my first semester. Frustrating.



Ok, so now that I got that out, not everything is bad. My roommates are great and we get along well. We just worked out chores tonight, and we have "family prayer" which is really nice. We have tons of fun laughing at eachother and being histerical.


And I got a job at the MTC working in the cafeteria serving food. I hope I get to see Lela, or I guess she's Sister Machado now :) And I'll get to see a few other people who are coming through this fall. Wooo! Plus, I think it will be a great job since the missionaries will be respectful and there'll be a great Spirit there. I can't wait for my first shift Saturday the 6th.



My ward is pretty nice. We haven't done much yet, except for church Sunday, and that was kind of weird because we didn't really have meetings the last 2 hours; and FHE, where we organized the groups. All 6 of the guys in our group didn't show. One of them came late after my roommate, Steff, knocked on his door. He said he didn't know it was tonight. I think the other guys are inactive or something because they weren't at church, either. Strange...



No dates yet. Guys are lame.

It's getting cold. Yuck.

That's about it. Love and miss you all MUCH! Keep me updated. I loooove mail :)

How exciting. Your apartment is so cute. I am so glad you like your roommates. Your job sounds perfect. I love BYU football games...and I am just feeling all nolstalgic reading about your experience. Our computer is still not fixed (had to be sent in to get a part replaced...and it is going to take 75 years...or maybe a few weeks, but I use Sara's computer here and there)so I am not caught up on my summer blogging...which all seems like old news now...but I have to include it in my Journal-like blog. You are so cute. Glad you are having fun. Totally miss you.
