Well, what's new? Work? School? Social life? Sure!
I am officially a Resident Assistant at Heritage Halls here at BYU starting up Fall of 2012. Which probably means (98%) I won't be a RA for Spring/Summer. Drat. But that does mean I get to home and enjoy SOCAL! Yeah! That will be pretty sweet! The hardest part about that will be finding a job and not being bored. Maybe. Maybe after I talk to the HH Supervisor, I might find out that I can be a RA for Summer. Which I would be good with. I get to take GE classes that I need to, not lose out on social life with peeps who are staying here over Spring/Summer, and stay busy. Plus I've heard it's quite a blast staying here for Summer semester. So we'll see there. Regardless, I am excited to go home and spend time with the parents. Maybe catch up with old HS buddies if I get the chance. And enjoy the BEACH! So excited for that! Yeah!
Classes are going great! American Heritage isn't proving to be the beast I imagined it to be. Very luckily. If I pay attention and try to apply what we are learning, it actually helps me realize quite a few political and social quirks. Biology is definitely helping me to spark my "wonder" as Dr. Riley would put it. I don't know how he does it, but somehow nature is becoming very interesting. There are lots of little stuff that does seem to stick out now. Especially now that I know the wood in Yew cures Leukemia but as a whole it is very poisonous. I love my Book of Mormon class - I get to ask questions I've had and get answers! It's awesome to feel the Spirit in there. Calculus is coming along - very heavy work laden, but it is making much more sense the second time around. Even with 2 years in between. Spanish is helping to keep up my Spanish. I definitely appreciate that! Overall, I hope to get A's this semester. I would be very extremely happy with all A's, which is very possible, I just gotta buckle down and do it! Si se puede!
Devotionals and forums here are AMAZING. No other way to put it. We had an amazing Forum by Dr. Benjamin Carson which really opened my eyes about many aspects of American life and current day political situations. Which helps out a lot since I've been out of the loop for two years! :) Today we had a very touching devotional by one of the Athletic Directors, Brother Dallin H. Moody who shared with us some of his personal experiences with a physically and mentally handicapped son. The Spirit was definitely strong there. Super strong! I love being at the "Lord's University!"
Social life! Coming along!! It's a little disappointing to think that this semester is going to end in a month and a half, and many of the developing friendships I have might just go "ka-boom." Which I will work towards not happening. I am still meeting amazing people and I am starting to settle down with getting to know better the people I've met instead of constantly meeting new people. The dating scene is a lot of fun. Let's just keep it like that. However, I will share what a fellow student shared in my Book of Mormon class. "When Christ teaches that our communication should be 'Yea, yea' or 'Nay, nay' it should also apply to communication with the opposite sex." I wholeheartedly agree!! It would make life so much easier! But then where the fun be? :) I did get to catch up with an old friend from SoCal who came down from BYU-I this past weekend. It was great to see an old friend again!
All in all, life is great! There is no reason to complain. None whatsoever! Time to get life moving along!! Jaha! Vamos pues! Let's GO!! Woo hoo!
