Life, Lately.

Well, I have completely skipped over the month of March apparently, according to my blog. I can sum it up for you in two words though,

-HOME WORK-

hmmm, so maybe that's one word but we'll pretend its two for emphasis.

But I have since escaped that seemingly endless pit and surfaced (mostly) unscathed.

I even came away with fairly good grades!

History & Philosophy of Education: A

Art & Propaganda of the 20th Century: A

Book of Mormon: A-

Math for the Real World: B+

University Choir: A

Light and Sound: B

Issues in Special Education: A-

Hopefully those are good enough to keep my scholarship for next year!

we shall see..

Anyways,

the semester was kind of a hard one for me.

We had some drama issues in the apartment, and I became caught in the middle. I was able to find a job, which I am grateful for, but it wasn't an easy job for me. I was in over my head with homework, tests, projects etc... and I dealt with loneliness and some other issues in my life.

But lest you think I am a negative person-there were the good times as well.

I had amazing roommates and I felt like I got to know them a lot more, and to appreciate the amazing people that they are.

We had some crazy times.... ;)

Job(no matter how hard it was)=MONEY. :)

Through the trials I felt like I was able to learn a lot more about myself, and I think I grew up and became more mature. (even if it was only a bit. ;) )

We had really good home teachers and FHE brothers who were tons of fun, and always knew how to make us laugh.

Although my classes were hard I learned a lot, and gained new perspectives.

BYU-Idaho is a wonderful place to be :)

And no matter what, if I was sad, angry, happy, or excited, I could always count on a call from Spencer to brighten up my day. :) He's the best!

Life, with all its ups and downs, is good. And I am grateful for all the experiences I've had.

But now I am home. At least for the next 5 months I am home. :)

I feel like I am a different person then I was at this time last year-and that's a good thing. And I think it would be almost a crime to live my life in the same way I have been living it before. It's time for a change. I want to be able to look back and say that my experiences have made me a better person.

So, here's to life, and change, and new things.

I can't wait to see what the next few months bring. :)
