Hello there fellow reader!
Yes, I am actually blogging again. Much more interesting things to write about while I'm at school. The off track was just working and doing homework for my online class. Now I actually have a social life again!
So I've been back in Rexburg for almost two weeks. Classes are well under way. I'll tell you, I'm going to be busy this semester. I'm taking 7 classes with a total of 16 credits: a foundations math class, Chemistry, Botany, University band, Book of Mormon (second half), Social Dance, and Master bassoon class. My chem and botany both require a lab, so I'll be spending four hours in lab every week this semester (or most every week). Mondays are my crazy days. I start classes at 9, and I don't get home until 5:30. Yup, it's a long day. And then add to that FHE and homework. Thursday is probably going to be my favorite weekday. I have Book of Mormon at 9, Chem at 11:30, and social dance at 12:45. Then I'm done with classes for the day. I'm sure I can find a good use for all that extra time- like homework and bassooning.
Outside of my hectic academic schedule, I have of course, done some dancing. It's good to be home! A lot of people that I know from the fall semester are here, so it's almost just like the good ol' days. My two dancing bffs aren't here this semester. Emily is off track, and Kendall left on April 27th to serve his mission in the Salvador, Brazil mission. I've decided that I'm probably going to have to be more selective this semester about the workshops I go to, though, given the time I need to put into homework and studying (forget skipping the actual dance nights, though!)
And I can't not tell you about my roommates. Anna Neilsen is the one I share a room with. We were roomies in the fall, though, so we already know each other. My two new roommates are Krysta Klumpp and Leanda Akuoko. I don't see much of them, to be honest, because they usually spend their evening at the library, gym, and I don't know where all else. They are nice girls, though, and we get along well. Krysta is from Utah, and Leanda is from London, England. Yes, she has a fun accent :-) They both got really excited about the Royal Wedding last week and decided to pull and all nighter for it.
Church is interesting, too. I'm in the same ward, but they've changed location and time. I was in the Benson building at 9 am last semester, but now I'm in the MC at 12:30. We went from being one of the biggest wards in the stake to one of the smallest. And, most interestingly of all, our schedule is backwards. We start with Relief Society/Priesthood, then go to Sunday school, and end with Sacrament meeting. It's not what I'm used to, and certainly not my favorite schedule, but it's what I'm doing for the next three months, so I'll deal :-)
Well, I think that's about all for now. I'm going to go find something to do to kill time until Stadium singing. Hopefully I'll post again soon.
Toodles! (Yes I did!)
