Its finally here! College!!

Well these past couple of weeks have been crazy fun. I did the kiss me dirty race with Emily. We had so much fun and got really muddy! I belly slid through the mud twice, and through a foam pit. Attempted to do a couple cart wheels too! Then This past Thursday Grandma Joan and I went shopping and I got some new school clothes and a back pack. Friday I went to the lake with my dad and Steve. It was perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better day! It was sunny, the water was calm, and there was us and one other boat the whole day. I played all day! Then my friend Bo came out later and it was fun to have a friend there. Then we watched a movie later that night.
Saturday I had to work, but after work Robby and Lacee drove down to Orem and took me out to dinner at Macaroni Grill (it was good) Then we came back to my house and Robby gave me a blessing. I don't know what I would do with out the two of them! They are my life savers up here! They always have good advice when I'm down and always offer blessings when I think I need one. I'm so thankful that they are close enough that I can call on them. Then I had to work sunday and when I got off I came home and started getting things ready for today.
So I got up and got ready and the pants I wanted to wear still had the stupid security thing on them so I had to change my outfit idea no big deal though, I was at UvU by 9:30. Parking is ridiculous! There are sooo many students there that its insane. You literally have to stalk people for a parking space. I didn't it know it, but I parked on the opposite side of where my classes were. I was booking it! I made it right on time sweating my guts out. I walked in right behind the teacher. My first class was english 1010. My teacher is a granola hippy type lady. She is spunky, and I think I'll enjoy her class. My second class I wasn't in such a rush because I had two hours to kill until it started. So I found my class then I sat down at a table and started my homework... Yes I already a ton of homework I feel like. I have to write a one page paper, read 20 pages in a text book, and a work sheet and read through two syllabus'. I thought the first day might have had less home work, but thats alright it'll give me something to do. After class I went to the book store and bought two books that are outrageously priced, but I have to have them.
Then I went to work and I was kinda busy and made 24.00 in tips, and I got to read some of my text book so it worked out nicely for me.
After I got home from work I realized that I need to put check in the bank so I can pay for my books.... well I couldn't find it!! I was tearing through my room looking through everything! My roommate Kristin even came and helped me. I bought a printer, and returned it today... I thought maybe I accidentally stuck it in there, so Kristin drove me all the way to the Lindon Walmart we tore through the printer box nothing... came home tore through my car... nothing... went back to my room tore through everything twice... nothing... Kristin was looking in both living rooms and I'm in my room about to cry, and I open my psychology text book and there it is! I'm so glad I found it. I put it away in the right place so I can put it in the bank tomorrow!
I've enjoyed the first day of college. I feel a little more grown up! I'm still trying to figure out how to manage my time more effectively to get everything done that I need to, but its only the first day so I'm sure I'll get it down some time!

I don't want to brag... but... its really cool

So on Tuesday my friend told me to come hang out with her and group of people... I was a little hesitant but I'm glad I went. There is this place in Alpine where people go off this huge bike jump into water. I guess its a really popular place up here and people get into this extreme sport. Some people there were doing front flips, back flips, diving, and cannon bombs. It was really cool to watch.... now trying it is another story.... It took me all night to get the courage up to do it... but in the end I did, and it was awesome!!! I got it on video its on Facebook and everyone should check it out! (if anyone reads this) I don't think I will ever do it again... my body hurts... you hit the water pretty hard, but I'm proud to say that I've done it! Anyways... I've been trying to go to the temple weekly. Its been fun! I've been to the provo and Mt. Timpanogas temple. My goal is to eventually have been to all the temples in Utah! I start school on the 29th and I'm anxious and nervous. I'm excited to be learning and making new friends... worried about the big campus, homework, and trying to figure out scheduling with school, work, and social life, but I guess I will deal with that when I need to. This summer has gone by way too fast, and there is still so much I want to fit in before I start school, but play time is coming to end, sadly!
