Here I go again on my own...

I have started another semester at BYU-I. I have stopped counting semesters. It may be the habit for some students to ask what semester you are on...I never have a good answer. I am currently taking Medical Assisting 105 with its lab class and Anatomy and Physiology with its lab class. 9 credits. Classes started 2 weeks ago. I feel a mess still. I haven't figured out what this teachers deal is. One teacher is still in the process of figuring out how he wants things done, and the other is just different because only half of the information is online and its just not set up the most functional way. Whatever though, I guess I have to learn how to deal with it. I'm not planning to write a full blog to complain about things. There is plenty of good to be had. I am getting to do a lot of volunteer work. I was looking for work work, but nothing has turned up. I am doing an occasional massage (two tomorrow) and doing volunteer work to make myself useful. I am helping as an Usher for devotionals, helping with the temple to temple relay that is on Saturday, and I am going to help out with the Biggest Winner competition on campus that is starting up this weekend. Ohhh and on top of that I have a weekly shift working in the laundry room of the temple every Tuesday night for a few hours. I have met way more people this semester than last. It feels good to be busy with good causes. My struggles are disorganization and a foot injury. Its going on two weeks of having something wrong with my foot too. I have been icing it and I have had my friend work her massage magic on me for an hour and half one day. I have tried to stay off of it as much as possible. I'm waiting for my good shoes to come in the mail. Hopefully that will all help and it will eventually get better. I am finally going to get a blessing today too. Every little bit helps.

I have had some serious highlights of my last couple/few weeks.
*Getting to go out to dinner with the Keele Klan, Emily and her Mom. Love them :)
*Meeting someone who twitches more than I do. (its the little things that impress me)
*Getting another calling in my ward (mix and mingle committee)
*Getting my brother to fix my computer that I dropped :)  (still patiently awaiting delivery)
*Having my roommate talk to me mostly in her sleep. ( "If rexburg were a garden, you would be my yield, can I eat you? awww, I feel so loved right now, good night, awww friends say good night, we are friends....I gotta pee" )
*People watching at a singles dance. SO much awkward I didn't know what to do with myself.
*Blogtv - watching my youtube friends.
*Bountiful Baskets goodness
*Massage to help my foot by Molly :) (hopefully more to come too)
*Dinner parties with new friends in my ward

Upcoming adventures
*My best friend holly having a baby boy sometimes in October
*Going to St. George with another best friend to see Ohio peeps and to experience St. George UT.
*Thanksgiving vacation time
*My 32nd Birthday (December)

Well that's the long and short of it. I'm still living in the same house I moved into in April. I'm setting a record for my Rexburg living. I have never lived somewhere for two semesters in a row out here. I will find out in October what track assignment I will be on...then I will know when I have to be in Rexburg. I said I wanted winter. I don't know what I was thinking because I do not love the Rexburg winters. Maybe they will give me something else...I can't wait to start though. Having health insurance would be nice. I have to spend an arm and a leg to get a physical for my class and I have to get a chicken pox titer. I guess if there was something else you wanted to know about me...maybe it will show up in another month or so in my next blog.

If I could do anything right now it would be to have the confidence (and equipment) to vlog and post it on youtube. That's my thoughts on that. I would love to just be able to talk to myself while people watching on campus to just let others see how I experience this campus and my life here. I think my expression is way more apparent in a video as opposed to a written blog. until next time friends...I'll be working on this.
Peace out-
