Reasons why I love BYU Idaho this week.
*Monday's FHE was lesson was by Bro Baron. He is a stake president in the area and he told his conversion story. He grew up Jewish. Went to Hebrew school. He told how he found Jesus. It was a really captivating story. Glad to have met him.
*Tuesday- Reilly and John Butler came into town and I managed to feel like I had caught up enough on my homework to take a day off of school. We headed to Yellowstone. Camped that night in the freezing cold. Why do I always think this will be a great idea when its cold weather. I ended up in my car. Not good sleep, but a nice drive up there.
*Wednesday- Um...can't tell you why I love BYUI. I was definitely NOT in Idaho. I was off taking fun pictures and enjoying a drive around God's beautiful earth.
*Thursday- Spent all day on campus doing homework, meeting with group people. Went to a cultural night where we got to see all kinds of strange dancing and acting. Oh the awkwardness never stops. I also witnessed an angry library goer. Apparently the exit music was "exceedingly annoying" tonight. I think I should post all of the creeper pictures I took today too. I just got invited to a string theory party. I was read a wrap that was written in a text message. AND my favorite part ever was being able to partake of beautiful music. Me & and a friend hung out in a stairwell at the library while some stranger played his guitar for a few of us. I think it was the most perfect thing for my night. I asked to take his picture then shortly after we were asked to leave because we were apparently being too loud. Should you care to listen go here for the sweet sounds of the stairwell. We will see what tomorrow brings. I just have to say that I am not loving all my learning and growing right now so these brief moments of goodness that make me smile are things I'm grateful for. I know I'll make it through the classes, but....I worry too much and stress too much and don't quite get things as fast as I would like. Okay, I'm just hard on myself. Things will get better. I am looking up.

My simple life....or not so simple
Simple and exciting :)
I get to go see Bill Cosby tomorrow night. I would normally write about an event after it happens, but I will be busy writing a paper for a class. I went to devotional today. Brother Rudy Puzey was the speaker. I wanted to maybe shout RUDY RUDY RUDY a few times, but I remained calm and reverent. But he really did have a great topic and I took a few notes to go back to in a few days. The musical number at the beginning of the meeting was pretty amazing. I probably could've left after that and called it good. Music is touching.
The last two weekends in a row I went to Utah. ( guess this is sounding not so simple after all) I got to spend time with my old roommates. I sure love them. I am glad that we are at least within a weekend drive of each other. I took a cute picture of me and Holly and Wendy. We didn't really do anything too out of the ordinary. We had a cook out at Holly and Ben's house and then Wendy went home and me and Sam headed back up to Sue and Michael's for more food on a grill. I love that we have the ride board/bulletin board to find people to come along on our fun lil trip. We met a kid who I actually brought back to utah with me the next weekend. Nice kid from Tooele, which just makes me laugh.
Other things to talk about. Some days I should work harder on my peacmaking skills. I have too much attitude perhaps sometimes in my life...especially when it comes to people being rude/distracting in class. Only one of my classes gets really bad. I sit in the back in all my classes (all 3 of them). One a few occasions I have asked someone to stop texting or whatever, but this day last week I about lost it on this girl. Her and her friend were out of control. I won't even give too much detail. I don't want to get worked up too much. But I maybe spoke out of line, and I was responded to with profanity. MAN ALIVE I wanted so much to put this girl in her place. Instead I started to write in my book. I ended up emailing my teacher. He said he would police the situation a little bit better in the back of the room. I'll survive. My grades are decent. Its my attitude that needs work.
Other things I've been up to... I've decided I want to do medical assisting as a minor and go back to health science as my major. So if all goes as I hope. I'll get an associates degree at the end of this semester in general studies, and then in a couple more semesters get another in Medical assisting and then in a couple more I'll have my bachelors degree in health science with an emphasis in public health. Don't ask me what I'm going to do with it yet. I'll probably just stick to finding an office job in a medical office. That's really the stuff I love, and then continue to do massage on the side. OHHHH
and how could I forget my favorite part of my trip to salt lake. I got a massage from a student at UCMT. Best massage ever. Honestly its probably the first time that anyone has ever done a half body drape on me to. (which may mean nothing to anyone who reads this) It was interesting. She was really good and I was really sore. I gave her my card. She is going to be coming back to rexburg in the fall. She is a BYUI student too. I was pretty excited to meet her. I love it when meeting people comes together so nicely like that. Speaking of meeting people...I have started to talk to some more people in my ward a lil bit more regularly. Hopefully my being on the RS welcoming committee will help me get to know more people too. I just decided, even if its an awkward way to do it ...I was going to start adding people on fb that were in my ward so that I could just be in contact with people from the ward. I think this is all i want to say for now. I have more to write for another day. ps, I need a job still. Not sure how I'm surviving through the summer. hmmm
