Ending Winter 2013

As finals are approaching this semester, I realised how fast time goes. I have greatly enjoyed my first semester attending BYU-Idaho in this little town of Rexburg, even with all the snow.

I have enjoyed my New Testament class. Religion classes are part of the unique curriculum here at Brigham Young University. I learned so much and am excited for family foundations next semester.

I tried out for the BYU-I Cheer Team and have enjoyed all of my experiences with that. I had never been involved with cheer team before so I have learned alot and plan on joining again next semester. I had a couple of injuries... A split lip and nose injury. Two separate occasions but only a week between them. Luckily I didn't break my nose, I just ended up with a deviated septum (which will be taken care of with a surgery at a time when I'm off school and can have plenty of recovery time at home). I have been a back spot in all of the stunts performed, but at our last practice my coach had me try being a flyer and I really enjoyed it. We'll see what I do for next semester.

The cold winter has become but a memory... Spring has arrived! As a southern Californian, it is a bit odd that it feels so warm at a high of 57.

I will be spending a week in Las Vegas, NV with my roommate, Mariah. She grew up there and we are both excited for the warmth of the sun (a predicted 90 degrees) and the opportunity for me to be more acquainted with her family and friends. We have become very close over the semester - she's become like a sister.

I changed my field of study!! I went from being an accounting major to elementary education. I am so excited for my new set of classes and my future in being a teacher. My degree will allow me to teach Kindergarten-8th grade.

I will try my best to update this on a regular basis with pictures included. I appreciate you all for being part of my life. I love you all! If you do have any questions about things, I will try to answer them. Some things just slip my mind.
