text books, chocolate, music, and friends.

HOLY! Man i have been horrible at writing this blog! Man so much has happened in the past month. Well.. let's see... Christmas was pretty crazy. It was just me and my mom and dad. Kristen was there too, but she kinda does her own thing alot. So.. not that my parents are fun or anything.. but it stopped being exciting after the first day or so haha. Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas without my siblings and nieces and nephews. But everyone did come Christmas night for dinner so at least it felt a little like Christmas that night! haha. We all got Snuggies for Christmas.
It was hillarious. Probably my favorite present was highlighters. Lame i know... but i needed them for school haha. I highlight so much.
ANYWAY. So the new semester has just begun! It's been crazy so far. It's just like night and day compared to last semester. It's been amazing the difference. This semester started out so good. I had the wonderful opportunity to be an I-team leader for new student orientation. It was so nice to make so many new friends, and just start out the semester feeling confident about myself and who i was, compared to last semester where i felt so alone. It was amazing to be able to have fun with my group, but also to be able to sit down and have a conversation with them about the Spirit and the gospel.


There's a couple pictures of most of the students in my group! We were good number one... not just literally. haha

But yeah.. so classes have started and it's been kinda difficult to get back into the swing of things. Last semester it was so easy to just go to the 2nd floor of the library and sit for forever. I had no friends. haha. This semester it's so much harder. I know people now. So i go to the third floor hoping to get things done... but in reality it's mostly to socialize. So then i end up staying up late to finish. I need to fix that. A little socializing is fine.. but i just need to cut back a bit. ANYWAY. Classes don't look like they're going to be too difficult this semester, but there is alot of reading involved! So much! Like.. we'll have little homeworks assignments every once in a while.. but it's all centered around like 40 pages of reading! It's alot to do. That's why it's kind of hard for me to just sit down and do it all i guess.. Just because there is no variety. Ah oh well... I just need to suck it up! :) haha. But yeah.. I'm loving my classes so far.. foundations are much better than i expected. We get into some really profound discussions.. which i love. I love to get involved in my classes and really bring something out of them. It's awesome! My American Foundations teacher actuallly scares me quite a bit. He will yell... and then cry... and then yell some more. And none of us are really sure why he's yelling... But he is an awesome teacher! haha. That class really keeps my attention. Although... I have come to realize that my Tuesday/Thursday classes i struggle so much to stay awake during. They are Child Development, Foundations Science, and American Foundations. It's weird cuz i really like all of the classes, teachers, and discussions... BUT I'M JUST SO TIRED! AH! Crazy.

Well that was long and boring. I've recently discovered i may have a problem. A serious problem. I think i may be addicted to chocolate. Although I'm not exactly mad about it... it's probably not the most healthy thing haha. It's starting to get somewhat annoying when i go back to my apartment and i all i want to do is eat a candy bar. Or brownies. Mmmm... Brownies. Well i know what i'm going to go do now.

But anyway... I guess the whole point of this post was just to catch up. I haven't been so faithful on this whole blog thing. MY FINAL WORDS: Life is good. This semester is going AMAZING. I have friends now. Boys are stupid and oblivious.. or maybe they just don't like me. It must be my chocolate addiction. and something i failed to talk about.. my apartment has also had a sudden addiction to Phantom of the Opera.. ok maybe it's just Kayleigh and I. No big deal right? Right. :) Well i think that's all for now.
SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!
