First Week of School! First Week of School! Aug 29-Sept 4

I now present, the first day of school as told by Lauren and Sarah.

(This is also a perfect glimpse into our relationship)

"Are you ready for this?"

"Im just going to laugh!"

"Sarah..What is going on?"

"Just come over here."

"No one knows how awesome we are."

"Do I look okay?"

"Hey look our friends!"

 

"Where am I suppose to be going.."

"Okay we should try and look really good for this first day."

"We did it! Day accomplished!"

"What just happened?"

First off, I just really love that girl.

School started this week! Don't know how that happened.

My schedule is CRAZY. I have so much homework, and RA duties, and a job. Its going to be a learning process.

I am taking a wonderful institute class entitled Eternal Families with the ever amazing Bishop Rasmussen. The readings and discussions have already been incredible.

For my English major this semester I am taking American Literature and Shakespeare. I have a new professor for American Lit who is wonderful. There is a lot of reading but I love the works he has chosen. I struggle with taking about pilgrims and puritans and things like that but combined with the readings he has chosen it has been interesting. Shakespeare I also think will be a great class, but it is a huge time commitment reading wise.

For my Business Major I am taking Intro to Financial Accounting and Principles of Marketing. Financial Accounting......(crickets)......

Okay. Okay. It is not that bad. It also requires reading the text book but the information is actually interesting! Marketing on the other hand..Well whats funny is when it comes to business I am most interested in the marketing side of it but I don't know how I feel about this class yet. My professor is new and I struggle following what he is taking about. I feel like there are a lot of stories that don't fit what we are suppose to be discussing.

I am also taking choir again and drawing! Drawing also requires a ton of time but I love the professor. He taught my temple prep class last year and hearing him talk about art is amazing.

My Monday, Wednesdays, and Friday's are great because I get out of class at 11 and have 3 hours till work.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are awful. I start at 8 and don't get a break till 1:45, where I book it to the dinning hall to find something to scarf down and then I leave for work at 2.

Its going to be a lot of work this semester..

Let me just talk about work for a minute. 

Man oh man. Its the best.

I love my cute 1-3 year olds. They are CRAZY but absolutely adorable. (I wish I was allowed to show you pictures of them because you would all fall in love). I walk in and one little boy smiles at me everyday and my whole life is complete. They are so sweet.

I am going to be ready to be a mom. We have had diaper blowouts, and blood, and fighting, and laughter, lots of story reading, nap time, snack time. I've done it all. 

It truly is a blessing. And it does take three hours of my day which I could be studying and staying a head in school work, but it is a wonderful place to escape to. 

OHHH! Also I wrote a song for one of my little boys! So wait till you all hear it. Its the next big hit. There are 4 verses :) 

I also work with my friends! These ladies are amazing and I love that we get to work together.

So thats my life now. A true collage experience. 

Class all day, work, homework and sleep.

Some fun things for the week and weekend:

-Driving to DC with Jared to pick up his girlfriend. We had some wonderful conversations in the car. I am so grateful to know him and learn from him! He is awesome!

-Having Makayla and Bradleigh stay in my room.

-Going to the Men's soccer game while also watching the football game on my phone. We won both!!

-Watching the Book of Life with friends at Genny and Travis's house.

-Stopping by at the dance.

-Going back with Genny and Travis to watch the BYU football game.
