Second Week

This week has gone by much faster than last week(thankfully).  Volleyball tryouts were Thursday-Saturday and I saw Trevik and Mike Flag.  Trevik was actually on one of my scrimmage teams.  Everyone got drafted onto a team, but my team practices on Mondays and Wednesdays, which I cannot do because I have a class.  I told my coach, but she hasn't replied to me.  I will show up for the 15 minutes that I can be there to talk to her and hopefully sort it out.  It shouldn't be that hard.  Classes are finally getting into their groves.  I love business law and I have a study group that meets every Tuesday and Thursday.  It really helps a lot.  ECON is a little challenging, but if I try i should be able to do it.  Me Mack and Nic went to dinner with Dianne and her friends for her birthday.  We went to Da Pineapple Grill.  It was only ok.  Today Josh is going to make egg drop soup and beef and rice.  That should be good.  We went over to our FHE sisters' apartment (which is much bigger) and played Apples to Apples.  They all seem like cool people.

Sunday Dinner

Today was the day that dorm 367 decided to cook dinner.  Josh and I cooked the spaghetti and the kitchen was horrible.  The stove was a mess, the sink was full of dirty dishes, and we almost didn't find the utensils we needed.  In the end the spaghetti was good though.

My Week

This week felt crazy long.  On Wednesday we had a sorta get to know you thing in english, it was about our passion and we had to bring in something that went along with that passion.  I decided to bring in my volleyball shoe (because I couldn't think of anything else to bring in) and talked about how I was not competitive.  I am proud to say that I talked the longest (we had a minute, but most of them were like 10 seconds) and made everyone laugh multiple times.  I was pretty proud of myself.  I had a project for Money Management that I had to go to Albertsons  and price things (I had two other people in my group who went to Walmart and another store)  and I had to go multiple times because there were things that weren't in other stores.  On one of these occasions i brought my roommates Nic Mack and Josh with me because they needed to get somethings.  Nic ended up getting the Lord of the Rings trilogy for $12 and so we watched the first one that night.  We stayed up late watching it because we started late.  We originally wanted to watch all three that night, but then we got tired and stopped 20 min into the second one.  Then on Thursday I just did my homework and sat around.  When my Mack and Nic got back we finished the second movie.  Friday was our first ward party and it was a dinner at the park.  We got there a little late because we decided to walk there.  The dinner was roast pig, one that was brought in on a stick whole, but we were late so we didn't see it come in.  After dinner we played some games.  One of the games was the tangled circle thing where you grab two hands of the group in the center and then try to spread out into a circle.  Our team did it four times before any of the other teams finished.  It was fun.  Then we walked back and watched the third movie.  Me Mack and Zac stayed up late just playing cards and hanging and we decided to get a room together next semester.  We started looking at the places and prices, but determined that we would just go with the simple choice of going to the Lampretch building (which is right next to my dorm now) because it has a kitchen.  There are only four beds in each dorm so we were the only ones in my current dorm to sign up because everyone had at least one person already in it.  Today we just sat around and hung out.  I did my laundry today, but I am never going to do it on a Saturday ever again because everyone was doing it.  Afterwards me Mack and Zac went to Insidious 2.  I invited Dianne to go and it was pretty fun.   Then we dropped Dianne off and then just hung out and walked around.

Work Work Work

I decided to take a break from reading my textbook and post this.  On I-Learn (a place where the teachers post assignments and announcements) I saw something about reading the first chapter of my textbook for Business Law and so I decided to click it, but the assignment description didn't show up, so I am going to read it just in case it is due next class.  Anyways... today I mostly did homework for all my classes.  I stayed in the dorm for most of the day until devotional at that started at 2:15-3:00.  Bro. and Sis. Clark were the speakers and they talked mainly about working hard and working with the Lord to accomplish your goals and dreams.  The weather today was off and on.  It would rain for like five minutes then stop.  When we got out of the devotional it started to rain.  It was not a pouring rain, but the rain drops where HUGE!!!  One drop landed on one of my lenses and it covered the whole thing.  It was crazy so me. Mack, and Zac practically ran back to the dorm room.  Me and my roommates found out on Sunday that it is going to be hard to get throughout the day with no food places open, and a couple of cans would not do it for us.  So we decided to cook something each Sunday.  So after devotional me Mack and Zac went to go to the store to get some things and also to get the supplies for dinner.  I am most likely going to be the cook, but Joshua was the one with the idea so he might do some stuff too.  I used my amazing pricing skills and bought stuff for spaghetti.  It only cost $12.00 total so that is $2.00 a person for one meal.  I was pretty happy with that.  Last night after I posted we stayed up a while longer and me Kyle Mack and Joshua hung out in my room and just talked and did random things.  It was pretty fun.  Dianne got her phone fixed and I when I saw her today after devotional we exchanged numbers.  That is 8 new numbers I got while up here, granted five of them are for actual classes, but it still counts.

Frist Day of Classes

I decided to just update whenever I want instead of on a schedule because I might forget important things and just want to post random things.  Today was the first day of classes.  For those of you who didn't know I have all my classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I only have three of the six.  I woke up at 7:00am and went to my first class that started at 7:45.  Each class is an hour long and I have 15 minutes between each class.  I had two more class in the morning and then I was done at 11:45.  I went and had lunch and did random stuff until my next class that started at 2.  This class was BoM and I can already tell that I am going to like it.  My instructor is super cool, funny and entertaining.  His devotional for today I liked because of Grandma.  It was allegory of the olive tree, but he didn't take the usual spin on it.  He talked about how the two trees in the bad soil grew better then the one in the good soil and compared that to growing up and making choices.  Just because you grew up in a bad situation doesn't mean that you will be a "bad" person, and he even said "grow where you are planted" a couple of times.  So I was thinking of Grandma the whole time.  Then I had Business Law, I really liked this class because it is very interesting, but the instructor said that Freshmen probably should not take it.  This startled me a little, but I am going to stick to it and try my hardest.  Another little blimp on this classes radar is that we had to rate ourselves with how comfortable we were talking in class.  I rated myself 12/30 and there were three different categories.  Then we stood in a line and she divided us evenly and assigned a high score with a low score.  This is our only chance at extra credit and I have to raise my hand more than my partner in order for both of us to get the credit.  So that class is going to be interesting.  I already raised my hand three times and my partner only once, so I am doing good so far!  After this class I have a 30 minute break until my next class at 5 which is microeconomics.  Now this class I am worried most about because the instructor doesn't like lectures and it is mainly group type learning.  Also economics is a hard subject.  Tomorrow and Thursday I don't have any classes so I will do most of my work, but then on Wednesday it is the same schedule, but Friday I only have three classes 9-10, 10:15-11:15, and 3:15-4:15.

College Life

I haven't updated in forever because I frankly forgot about updating and so therefore never did, and the only reason that I am doing this now is because my mom is making me.  as many of you know I am starting my first semester of college at BYU-I and this weekend I moved into my dorms.  I have five roommates, Kyle who is in my room, Brigham, Nick, Mack, and Joshua.  They are all cool people, but we are all very different so it is going to be an interesting semester.  We are all freshmen besides Kyle who is a RM who served in England.  On my first day here I was able to move in quickly and get all my stuff so that I didn't have to worry about it.  My mom and dad were here to help me and they also took me to Wal-Mart to get some things that I needed.  There was a little orientation meeting and then after that we split up into assigned groups (all freshmen) and did a little get-to-know-you things.  There I met Theodore, who is from Henderson, NV and is related to one of my favorite teachers in high school.  So that was cool and exciting.  After that I got to say goodbye to my parents and have dinner with them one last time.  Later in the night there was a new student talent show that we went to in our groups.  It was pretty cool and there were some great acts (mostly singers).  Then we went directly to a gym where we did some fun games in our group.  We played missionary tag and also a giant game of ninja (there was at least 20 people in my group that showed up).  That was all really fun and lasted until around midnight so I didn't get to bed until around 1:30ish.  On Saturday we went and had some more introduction type meetings and then we went on a tour of the campus with our groups.  It was really interesting and informative, but seemed like it lasted forever.  We then separated from our groups and went to the college (department) that our major was apart of.  In my group there were two other people in the business college, both of them girls.  I only remember one of there names because we did some other stuff together later, but the other girl was also doing accounting and Dianne was doing business management (one of the majors I was considering).  We then went to the get involved fair where I signed up for a bunch of things (some of which I will not be doing) and hung out with Dianne and Mack.  Then I went back to my room to find that Kyle was moving in (he wasn't here on Friday) and then just hung out with Mack and Joshua.  We then went to I-Night, which was just a bunch of activities that you could do around the center of campus and hung out with Mack all night.  All night we were trying to figure out which ward we were supposed to go to on Sunday and finally around 11:45 we figured it out.  I am in the 41st ward in the 5th stake and I meat at 10:30.  Now I am just sitting around the room and doing random things with my roommates.  I only have a microwave to cook things in, but I got a lot of soup on Friday, but when I cooked my lunch today I was afraid cause my microwave was making a weird noise, but Kyle didn't seem to react so I figured it was normal.  Well that was my weekend and I will try to update at least every other Sunday, but judging by this post I might have to do it every Sunday to make the posts shorter.
