U of U Take Two!!!

Well it happened, as much as I begged, and hoped and pleaded for it not to, it did. Today was the first day of school for  us Utes down here. I really don't dislike school as much as it might seem that I do, I just got so comfortable in my routine this summer that it's hard for me to let go. All things considered I am pumped for a new school year. I only have 2 classes on Monday so it wasn't a terrible first day. This semester I only have a 7:30 class on Thursday's which is a nice change from having one every day of the week last year. I started my morning at 8:30 in my familiar old chemistry building... I have not missed that place since May! The first day is never that bad, My professor seems okay. Last semester the professor was so bad that I feel like there is nowhere to go but up! I did however totally space the fact that when you go to school sometimes you are supposed to take pens, pencils, and paper : / talk about embarrassing! Luckily I didn't have to write much and everything that I did need to write I just typed into my phone and copied it down once I got home.

My other class, besides O-Chem, on Mondays is Institute. My first semester last year I didn't take an institute class. I figured that I needed to keep my schedule empty for all my classes. I couldn't have been more wrong. Last spring Zach was just getting home from the mission and he told me how I needed to get my butt to institute. I humored him because I also learned that if you take a class from them you can park in the parking lot which saved me from riding the bus all the time. I eventually learned that I actually enjoyed my class. I adored the teacher and he had such great things to say. So much so, That I decided to take another class from Brother Marshall this semester! I'm taking gospel doctrines and after just today I can tell it's going to be great.

So Mondays and Wednesdays aren't bad at all and Fridays I only have Chemistry which will be nice. Tomorrow I only have one class its ESS 2500 I have no idea what that means so I guess we'll see tomorrow. I usually will have a lab that lasts from, get this, 12:55 until 5:00!! That is a whole lot of Chemistry! Thursday's are similar except that I have a 7:30 Chemistry class and I later Chem Lab discussion. I also took 3 online classes this semester. I'm hoping that I can stay motivated and on top of them so wish me luck!!

I'm excited to get this year rolling! Happy Back-to-School everyone!!

Slow Down!!!

I am so not ready for summer to be over :( and the fact that I start classes in like 2 weeks makes me want to lay down on the floor kicking and screaming and throwing a tantrum like the giant 5 year old I really am. I don't feel like a bunch has happened lately since I blogged last but I know some stuff has so I'm just going to do a mass mental download.

Perri finished her last summer softball tournament this past weekend and now has a little bit of a break until fall ball when she is going to play with the 18U team.

Miles is just starting football practices he has lots of friends on his team and Papa Sam is helping coach again.

Waylon is just finishing up his Northern Utah Baseball League (or something to that effect I can't exactly remember the exact name) and says he is retiring at the end of this year due to age ;) We'll see if he really means it when next year rolls around and he can't live without it.

I just got back last week from a girls trip to St. George with my friends Lindsey and Lexi. We went and stayed with Lindsey's grandma, shopped, swam, tanned, watched the Olympics and played dominoes. I'm just finishing up my last couple of weeks at The Country Club before I have to start school back up and stay in Salt Lake a lot more. Last night I had to buy textbooks/ actually more like a had to rent them but it still cost me a small fortune.

In other new's, this weekend is our trip to the cabin and I'm totally stoked. It's most definitely my happy place. Something about the cabin makes it so easy to relax even if we do have about a billion small children running around. Plus, the fact that my family are all excellent cooks doesn't exactly hurt. So, I will try to take some pictures but I make no promises.

Per, bugging me to go get a drink so I'm outta here. Laters
