After a long absence, I am back.

First things first, I apologize for not posting anything for so long. When I don't have school or work and I am done with homework I tend to get lazy.

You all will be glad to know that my time up here has been much better than last year. My classes seem to be easier, and I actually have friends in said classes. My roommates are much better. I don't have as much free time as last year. I feel more organized. Overall it has been truly great.

First I want to talk about my classes, I am taking a total of 4 college classes and 2 institute classes.

  • My college classes are: Biological anthropology, English 1010, Math 0990 (don't make fun of me, math is hard), and Psychology. My anthropology class is very small and we have small group discussions so by the end of the year I should know almost everyone in there. I do have a friend though, her name is Anali. She helps me get ready for tests and if I miss anything she helps me out. My English class is the same, it is very small, and the reason why is that it is an accelerated course. This means that it is only for 8 weeks. If you just counted, you know that I only have a few weeks left. You are probably wondering how I can learn the same amount of things in 8 weeks that I would in a full standard course that goes on for 4 months. We write papers every week. It's been quite easy actually. My math class is also small and I have the same professor as last year, so he already knows me, and how I learn. I am ahead in that class, unlike last year. My psychology class is that only class that isn't small. It is a distance ed class but we are lucky enough to have the actual professor in the classroom. My friend in that class is Erica, she is pretty much awesome, we became like best friends after a day really. She makes me cookies and takes me to Chick-fil-a. 
  • On to my institute classes, I am taking the second half of the BoM. The class consists of mostly girls and there are only about 12 people in there. The crazy thing about that class is that the teacher is a WOMAN! Wha?? A female institute teacher! I've never seen that before. The second one I went to because a friend, her name is Alexa and she is in my ward, asked me to go and try it. It is Dating and Courtship, hahahaha yes I go to a class about dating and courtship. Actually it is mostly about being a classy lady and not being an awkward person. I need all the help I can get! 
My roommates have been a lot better than last year!
  • My roommate's names are: Annie, Jessica and Emily. 
  • I don't see them often because they all tend to either stay in the rooms or go out with friends but they are clean and that is very nice because last year my roommates were not clean. They speak English and they are respectful and quiet past hours. Sometimes it is too quiet and I feel like a live alone, which is actually very appealing to me. Although sometimes I want some noise. They should party more. I'll be okay with that. 
My free time is limited.
  • I know what you're thinking, how is this a good thing?
  • Let me tell you, I would rather be doing something then nothing at all. Therefore having school full time and work part time, I feel less bored and I have more purpose. Which is nice everyone wants to feel purpose. 
Feeling organized.
  • Well just look at how I set up this post. Plus I keep a planner that I write in everyday, where ever I go. I stick to my schedule too. 
So that is pretty much how my semester has been going. 

Now I want to go to the zoo and go hiking. Family we should plan a time to go and meet up at the zoo, and then plan another time to go hiking. :) 

Stay happy my friends.
