Rexburg!

So I was reminded that I haven't updated my blog in an age! Soooo that was just unacceptable! And here we are!

I have absolutely LOVED being here!! I was so overwhelmed by the great spirit that lives here my first couple weeks. I felt bombarded by inspirations constantly, and couldn't go anywhere without paper and pen... even in freakin math class!! I still take my spiritual journal with me to every class and everywhere else I go. I can certainly tell that THIS is where I am meant to BE! And I'm so glad to always feel that I am in the right place at the right time!

I LOVE the weather!! It's been snowing ALL day today. We've got like 3 inches of new snow in some places around campus. It's been around 28 for the past week which is actually REALLY nice and feels pretty toasty when the sun's out--which HAS happened a couple days. lol. I love it soo much that I've pretty much decided that I'm going to live in Idaho when I get married and have officially moved away from home. Which I feel no guilt for, because the only place I ever vowed never to raise my kids in is Utah. My kids will have a very different childhood here than I had in Austin, but I think it'll be good!

My classes are going well! Math class is tedious and boring and I'm not learning much of anthing cuz it's like 9th grade math. So I'm super glad this is my LAST math class EVER. Science class is interesting, and I think it's going well. I like the format and the teacher. We haven't started to learn much yet. We've just been discussing the philosophies of science and religion et cetera. I love my english teacher!! She's adorable and fun loving! But she's working us hard and her class will help me to grow in English for sure. I love it. Speech class is amazing! I love it. The text book is apparently this book that they teach all of the General Authorities of the church in when they are ordained. So it's REALLY good. I love reading it. Our teacher told us to always think about ourselves when we read it and now "So and so REALLY should read THAT" kind of thing, and it helps so much to grow! It's called Crucial Conversations, for anyone that wants to give it a shot! I swear it's super good! Choir is a littttle lame, just cuz it's not an advanced level choir. So the songs can be a little boring and we move incredibly slow.. but oh well. My Book of Mormon class is interesting. Not like the best religion class I've ever taken, or the best teacher I've ever had or anything, but it's good. And I share that class with michael! So, fun times. He walks me to my English class every Tuesday and Thursday after B.O.M.

I dropped my camera! Sadness. I'm mailing it back home... get some usage out of that warranty of mine!!! For CEREAL! I get a little frustrated not having a camera at the moment.. but that's my punishment I suppose. Consequence at any rate.

I love being up here, cuz I have more opportunities to see people! I SOO nearly got to visit Paula this weekend. I had a ride arranged with this girl from my Choir class. But I ended up having to work with my English group over the weekend. This project is worth a large percent of our grade.. sooo I had to stay. But the girl I was hitching a ride with said she'll contact me if she tries to go again! And Ammon has a car up here.. so Michael and I might try to make him take a trip up to Provo =p And last weekend I hitched a ride with some people down to Caldwell to see miss Lindy Lee! Since there was no school on monday. And of course I see michael all the time! I've started going and working out with him which I love! Because I feel so out of shape right now. I freakin biked 8 miles the other day! And I ran two miles, and just.. amazing-ness.

Speaking of miss Lindy Lee, she's up here in rexburg this weekend AND week!! So I'm planning on getting super ahead in as many of my classes as I can so I can play with her all week! lol.

That's pretty much all I have to say I think! I love my roommates. We've only had a little drama.. might have some more in the near future, but we will have to wait and see on that!
