Well almost 3 months later... I think it's time to blog again. I made it through another semester!! I'm so glad it's over :-) It wasn't nearly as bad as fall semester. Being over the worst of my mono was decinitely a help in that regard. My finals went really well and have been done for 3 weeks. I rushed through them and had my last one on Tuesday morning at 7. That means I took 4 finals on Monday. In 3 hours. I'm pretty stellar. and I did well on all of them too. Just thought I'd mention that little fact. So since school got out I have been working at Student Services some 6 hours a day. It's great I love my office. The people I work with are SO amazing and I love getting to know the ones that I haven't known so well in the past. So maybe I should actually start where I left off with my last blog and catch up a little bit. February nothing really eventful happened. In March I went to regional basketball in Cody, Wyoming and got to watch a lot of basketball. It was fun to watch Natalie and Landon play. Landon is a senior this year so I couldn't miss his last basketball tournament!! They played well and made it to state!! They haven't been to state since I was a junior. That's kind of a long time. It was my brother's very first time at state basketball as a player so I'm glad that he got to go. Also while I was in Cody I got to spend time with my BFF Randi which was super fun cuz we NEVER see eachother. Except at Christmas. SO that was really exciting. Well, I couldn't NOT go to state, so I missed some more school and work and went to Casper, Wy. The boys lost out in their first two games, but Lando had some awesome 3's. I was basicailly the most proud sister in the entire world. I love my little brother so much!! Also while there I got to spend some time with my friend Paul, whom I also never see so that was fun. I'm a popular person, what can I say? :-)
Also in March my roommate and very good friend Colleen started dating a boy... Aaron. They are super cute and have been dating for almost two months now. How exciting!! Too bad for me, it meant I got really good at third wheeling. Also at this time Arianne (another roomie) was dating Carter, and I love those two. They are so adorable. It's great. Well, a month later Cristina (another roomie) started dating SamCole. They're kindof perfect for eachother. They're super funny and a little weird but we love them. Thank goodness for Amber (last roomie) who was also not dating anyone. BUT then Amber and Arianne moved out at the end of April which was really sad and we miss them a lot. Also, it now means that 100% of my rooommates are in relationnships. and I'm a pro at odd-number wheeling. :-) Also, I get a lot more sleep now so that's good.
Another big change in my life is the splitting of the ward. It was really hard when I heard that the ward was going to split. I love my ward so much and I was devestated. But I knew that it is what the Lord needed to happen so I just had a little faith and went with it. The new ward met for the first time on May 1. Honestly, during Church I wasn't too fond of it. I was like... "oh my gosh. This is not going to be fun." But I did like the Bishopric. They're pretty cool, a lot of energy, and a lot of fun. That night I went to ward prayer and got to know people in the ward better and decided that this might actually work. Also, I met a new friend from England which was pretty awesome. He's traveling the world. He stole my life. Church yesterday was a lot better and Ward prayer was great again. I really do like this ward. It's way different than my old ward but I think it's a good change. Also, it's good because it's helping me branch out from my roommates. I love them dearly, but I need more friends too. I kindof isolated myself to my roommates and my ward and now the ward is gone and my roommates are always busy with their bfs so this is really good. I am meeting a lot of really cool people, and getting to know some from the old ward (who are in the new ward) a lot better. I love it. So hopefully I'll get a calling soon and be able to be more involved with the ward. This ward is going to be awesome. Well, it's already awesome. But it's going to keep getting more awesome. Count on it.
Well I think that pretty much brings everything up to speed. I though a couple of times that I was going to be able to make it down to Orlando (and DISNEY!) to work this summer, but plane tickets are so expensive and I need to pay for school. So that's not gonna happen :-( All my disney buddies should just come to Utah. I'll show them all a good time Mormon style!! (Mormon's really do have the most fun, trust me :-)) But hopefully I can make it to Powell this summer and see Randi and maybe be there when Cory gets home from his mission...that'd be fun lol. and Cristina and I want to make a trip to St. George (I have never been farther South in Utah than Spanish Fork, which is really sad.) Tuacan has the Little Mermaid and Grease there !! How fun would that be?!
Oh, I also changed my major OFFICIALLY!! It's been quite the journey getting there. I was declared in Elementary Education. Halfway through my first semester I decided that I didn't actually want to go into that. It would be a lot of fun, but I don't think it's for me. So then I was thinking about biology, which is way awesome but what would I do with it?? I would want to go into Marine Biology but I decided that that wasn't right for me either. Also...way to much physics. gross. But I never actually changed my major. Next was Business. Entrepernurship. But I would hate my life with all the math involved. Another strike, with no major changed. Next, Family and Consumer Science Education. sewing and cooking. Honestly, this would be a lot of fun and I was pretty set. I was really close to going in and officially changing my major. But then I decided that that is such a hobby that I don't want to ruin it by HAVING to do it. So last week I went in and officially changed my major. Which I think is a pretty big deal And I'm really excited about it. And I have my graduation path, 2.5 years. I can handle that. It's almost right on to 4 years. I will have been in school for 4.5 years so that's okay. I'm a junior in college now. and JUST FINALLY decided my major. But I'm really happy about it. I have really been stressing about figuring out what I should major in and what I want out of life so this is a huge burden lifted. What is the new major you ask?? RECREATION MANAGEMENT YOUTH LEADERSHIP with an emphasis in COMMERICAL LEISURE SERVICES MANAGEMENT. my favorite words...recreation and leisure. Ya, I'm majoring, going to school for, recreation and leisure. Beat that. Coolest major ever. I'll be taking a lot of event planning classes, travel/tourism classes (which I'm super excited about!!) and outdoor recreation classes. My favorite class in High School was Project Adventure (scuba diving, cross country skiing, rafting, fly fishing...) so now I get to do that stuff in College too!! I'm stoked!!
Well, this blog has been pretty long so I'm gonna sign off now. hasta!! :-)
