Day of Productivity

Well, since I have nothing better to do, I decided to blog about my day while I wait for my laundry to be done.

This amazing day started off with me staying in bed until 1 something. Why get out of bed if you have nothing to do?

Then I bummed around my apartment for a bit, and got ready to go up to campus. I had decided to go change my major and to buy my D&C Student Manual for my summer term class.

I went to the Humanities office in the JFSB and talked to a counselor there who just happened to have a specialty in the major I was switching to. So, I declared American Studies as my major. It's like a combination of history, politics, economics, geography, arts, and just about everything else about America. Apparently it's really flexible, and you can basically take any classes that have to do with America and get it to count toward the major. Sweet, huh? Now, I just need to decide if I want to pick a focus, or take a broad range of classes. I'm thinking the latter.

One of the things you can do to get major credit is to do the Washington DC Seminar, where you spend a semester in DC and do an internship. So, I went to their office in the SWKT and talked to the counselor there about the program. She gave me the basics, and let me look at the directory of internships they try to help place us in. It sounds really cool, and I think I might consider it for the future if I decide to stick with this major. :)

After that, I went to the bookstore and bought my D&C Student Manual for the D&C class I'm taking this summer. It should be pretty good; I've already learned cool things just by flipping through the pages. Hopefully it's not too intense of a class, either.

Then I went to the computer lab in the JKB and played around with my class schedule for the fall now that I have a major to focus on. As of right now (and I say this because I've changed my fall schedule probably 10 times already) I am registered for: American Studies, Economics 110, New Testament (with Stephen E. Robinson - the guy who wrote Believeing Christ), Career Exploration, a Law Lecture Series, and LDS Temples. I'm way super excited for fall! I should be done with college by 2011. I'll be gradating the same time Sara's graduating from high school. Crazy!

That's about all I did today. Since I've been home I've worked on creating a photo book online because I got a code to order a free one. I just had to pay shipping. I'm excited for it. It's pictures from my freshman year. I hope it turns out good!

RA-ing starts on Friday, and I'm starting to think that I need to be more prepared for the residents, but I haven't really been told much. Oh well, things will work out I guess. Well, I let's hope my laundry is done by now, and that I can go to bed soon!

Love and miss you all already.
