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!!
