3 days down

First three days of school our done..... Wahoo! It was an interesting week that is for sure. It looks like I will like all my classes. I found out a girl in my ward was in my Art for Elementary teachers so that was a pleasant surprise! There is only one class I do not know anyone... and it happens to only have 15 people! I'm pretty much guaranteed to meet someone and become friends realllll soon. My Spanish class is simply amazing. It is a bit of a challenge because our professor only speaks Spanish.. no English! Which I guess isn't too much of a problem because I can understand most everything, but the key word is most. There are definitely a lot of words I do not understand! And I realized how much of the grammatical concepts I forgot! So there is definitely a lot to take on but I am so excited to hopefully become almost fluent in Spanish. Because let's get real. THAT'S MY HERITAGE! It embarrasses me sometimes that I can't speak it. But soon, my friends, this will change. Brace yourselves.
One of my goals this year is to become closer to my Heavenly Father. I have been doing the little things like daily scripture study and prayer... and let me tell you. It has done wonders already. Its not that I wasn't doing it before, but it was never 100% consistent. Sometimes it was one or the other, or sometimes both did not happen that day! But so far, it has been great! I feel so grateful to go to BYU. In all of my classes we begin with a prayer. In my religion and Spanish classes we sing a hymn! I felt so lame, but my first day of Book of Mormon class I cried, just overwhelmed by the Spirit. These classes are so edifying and I can only imagine all that I will learn!
So those of you who know me well know that I have embarrassing things that happen to me... a lot. Of course multiple things happened this week. One of them happened to include a guy... big surprise. I was walking to one of my classes and I was on the phone with my mom! I don't know how Missouri was incorporated in our conversation, but it was and after I hung up the phone this really cute guy came up to me and asked if I was from Missouri! I told him yeah and in fact I was from Independence! He got all excited and has asking me things and then BAM! I tripped. Stupid sidewalk. And I was totally embarrassed. Luckily my building was right on my left because I could already feel the awkwardness seeping in.
This week was also a little odd. I love food. I really do. So why couldn't I eat this week!!?!?! Gah. It was so frustrating! For some reason, the smell, sight, or taste of food made me feel queasy. I only ate about 5 times ever since I've been home... weird right? And I thought yesterday was the end of it, but I feel that way again this morning! I dunno what is going on! This is nonsense. I am praying really hard this goes away soon because I know for a fact this isn't healthy. On the other hand, Markie and I got a gym pass to Gold's Gym this week! We are going to be working out at 5:30 in the morning... this shall be very very interesting. I am so excited for it though!
Last night was also great fun. Markie and Liz had been telling me about this place called Spark earlier this week. Basically it's like a classy lounge (Mormon style of course). They told me about all these awesome drinks they had like pina coladas and martinis, non-alcoholic of course. So we decided we were gonna go this weekend! We then decided we would make it a girls night out! Then it changed into girls night out + James. Which then turned into girls night out+ James+ other guys! In the end, it was a lot of fun! We all dressed up classy (James even wore a tux!) and we all enjoyed each others company! Afterwards we went to James and Ethan's apartment to watch Lord of the Rings (which I had never seen). Allie, Markie, and I shared a couch. They knocked out pretty fast! But by the end, we were all out. Good times.
Today I am going to the basketball game with Liz! I am excited! I love BYU basketball! yayyyy. Hopefully we win! Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend! And remember, God loves you.
P.S. IT SNOWED!!
