1 MORE DAY!!!!!!!

I go home tomorrow morning! So excited. I can't wait to see my parents and sisters!!!!! It is gonna be a blast. I can't wait to see my friends either and go to Roscoe's for chicken and waffles!!!!!!!!!!

4 DAYS!!!!!!!!!

So 4 days until I go to the good old California for Thanksgiving. I can't wait! I decided I am not going to go to classes on Tuesday, so we are going to leave at 8 in the morning instead of around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. That will put us at home at around 5 or 6 and then I can go see my friends. I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!


Also, tomorrow is the BYU vs. Utah game. Utah sucks! Go BYU!!!!!!!!

Hard week over!

This past week was super stressful. I had 3 midterms I had to take, and I am finally DONE!!! My dad was here last weekend and we had a lot of fun going to the football game and going out to eat with a bunch of people. It was a perfect weekend for him to come because last week I just wanted to go home SO bad, but him coming changed that. I am having a lot of fun.

On Sunday after church I studied for 9 HOURS!!!!! ahhh. It was horrible, but it paid off big time. The next day on Monday I studied for 7 hours. That is 16 hours in 2 days!!!! I have never studied that much in my life! On my calculus midterm I did ok. I won't find out my score until next week. On my geography midterm I got a 98 on the multiple choice and I think I did really well on the written part. I was really happy about that midterm. Today I took my science test and did decent. I probably could have done better, but I just wanted to get it over with.

Tonight I am going to the NCAA soccer first round games. BYU is playing Virginia Tech. I get to hang out with Sis. Draeger....aka Double D! She is my favorite. She is basically my 2nd mom. She is awesome. I'm looking forward to it.

On Saturday night I am hanging out with Alissa Pitt and her roomate. That should be really fun as well.

Only 12 days until I go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second Guessing

These past couple of days I have started to second guess my decision on coming here for school. I just look around, and everyone has their "group" of friends, and when I try to interact and make friends they act like I am some loser and they ignore me. I just hate feeling like nobody up here cares. They only have their certain group of friends that they hang out with, and they don't want to include others who have nobody to be with. It is also hard at night when I go to bed and I hear people outside laughing and having a good time with each other. I always think to myself "why can't that be me?". It is so frustrating. At home I had so many friends that I would always go hang out with, and here I only have a handful of close friends that I do stuff with, but most of the time they are lame and playing video games. I want to go out and have fun! I am tired of sitting around doing nothing and having nobody to go to. Even all the people that are up here from home never talk to me. It is like I am forgotten in this vast sea of people. I have come to the conclusion that loneliness is one of the worst feelings ever!

I can't wait to go home! I wish I could stay there forever.

Voting Frustration

So I sent in the form to get an absentee ballot about 4 weeks ago and I received it in the mail last night, the night before the election. It had to be turned in on election day by 8pm back to CA. There was no way I could do this, so I am not voting. California really pisses me off sometimes!!!!!!!

Also, it is starting to get cold. It rained last weekend and it is raining this week. The temperature is in the 30s and 40s. I kind of like it, but the wind makes it seem extra cold!

On a good note, my dad is coming on Friday, Mady's birthday is in 1 week, and I get home in 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to go back to California. I miss it SO much! I already have a bunch of stuff planned that I am going to do.

26 DAYS!!!!!

Wow....I haven't written on here in a while. My bad! A lot to catch up on.

School has been going well. I currently have 2 A's, 2 B's, and 1 C. Stupid Physical Science. I don't like that class at all. It is super confusing. My other classes are going well. I am really happy to have a B in calculus. I knew that was going to be my hardest class going into the semester, and I am handling it well!

Well a few weekends ago Alli came up here to visit. We had a lot of fun. We hung out and went to the football game where I bought her friend Jeff around $15 of food! I guess that is the price you gotta pay to hang with the best.

We are HOT!!!!



Last weekend I went down to the Seacliff canoe trip by the Hoover Dam. Lindsay Ward and I drove together....we are pretty fun. haha. I got to see my parents and sister. I had not seen my parents in 2 months! That is a really long time. The canoe trip was fun. We canoed A LOT and did some fun hiking. Tua and I were canoe partners on the 2nd day and we had to pull a lot of weight! It was fun to see people I hadn't seen in a while too. I talked with Kim (aka my 2nd mom). She is pretty funny and makes me laugh quite frequently. :]

I only have 26 days until I go home for Thanksgiving. I am SUPER excited to see my friends that I miss. I can't wait to play some football also. I am really hoping we play tackle because flag and 2-hand touch are for pansies.

That is all for now. I will try to update more frequently!

General Conference

On Saturday, I went to the Priesthood session of General Conference in Salt Lake City. I went with 2 guys on my floor and Blackie. It was amazing to be in the Conference Center with all of the Apostles and the Prophet of the Lord. The Spirit was so strong. That was one experience I will never forget.



Last week I found out that I will be going on the Singles Ward canoe trip at the end of this month. I am pretty excited for that. It should be a lot of fun. I get to see my parents!

This morning I said goodbye to Adam Parker. He stayed with me over the weekend. He reports to the MTC in 9 days. I am so excited for him. He is going to be such a great missionary. We stayed up until around 2:30 last night just talking about old times. It was fun to remember all of the times we have spent together growing up, and realizing how close we have become.

Today we got our grades on our Calculus test. I was extremely scared because our teacher said our class average was 60. When I received my test back, I looked, and to my astonishment I got a 78!!!! I was, and still am, soooooooooooo excited!
