Today was my first day of school, for the Fall semester. I got emails from a few of my teachers last week and they sounded kind of strict. I was slightly worried when I started towards my classes this morning. I was dreading the walk and the classes.
I got to my first class, Biology 2. I was a little late, but I blame that on the construction they have been doing everywhere. I have two teachers for that class, one for lecture and one for lab. They both seem nice, but I know that this class will still be difficult. Stupid biology major!
My next class was across campus in the Romney. It was my Chemistry class. My teacher was not at all what I expected. I expected some middle-aged, gross looking, grey-haired lady with no personality. The teacher I got was nice and she seemed fun. She put all of our lectures online for us to print out so we don't have to get a book.
My last class, College Algebra, was in the Ricks building. I hate that building, it is the farthest building from EVERYTHING!!! My teacher had sent me an email saying that he gives you ten points at the beginning of the semester so you can buy absences, 3 points, and tardies, 1 point. I hope that I can find a faster way to class so I am not late all the time. This teacher also marches to the beat of his own drummer. I felt that I was listening to one of those motivational speakers. He was hyper, and loud, and enthusiastic. He kept going on about how we need to have faith that we can pass this course, we need to turn that faith into hope for the future, and we need to leave our negative thoughts about math at the door.
He also told us that we could do our homework from any college algebra book, so that's another one I don't need. I went to collect my textbooks and there were only two there! My bio book and my religion manual. You know what that means Mom and Dad, all that money that we were charged for books was mostly just for the bio one. I am glad I don't need any others though, too much to carry. I have to say that this will be an interesting semester...And I haven't even met all of my teachers yet!! I wonder what tomorrow will bring...
My roommates are great, I have three of the same ones from last time, and the two new ones seem nice...They are so young though! There is a different vibe here now that DeAndra is gone, it is more mellow and less...Um...Engaging? DeAndra got married to Aaron, my old FHE buddy, last week. They vacationed in Hawaii...Must be rough huh? She should have listened to me and Audra sooner...We have been telling her all along that she should marry Aaron...But nooo.....She wouldn't listen.
We saw this lady who was at the wedding and she said that DeAndra and Aaron stayed at this hotel after the ceremony. DeAndra's parents were supposed to pick up the car, but she forgot to leave them the car keys. So at 7am her parents knock on the door, for the keys. DeAndra and Aaron were so embarrassed. In fact they were so embarrassed that instead of calling her parents for a ride so they could go home and pack, they called a friend to take them.
As they were packing her whole family showed up. DeAndra asked her Aunt to braid her hair. When her Aunt went to it she saw that DeAndra's neck was covered with this HUGE hickeys. Audra talked to DeAndra yesterday and when she asked about the hickeys Aaron said, "Oh, you mean those ones she got from the vacuum?" So Audra says, "That's funny Aaron, I didn't know your name was Hoover." It was very funny! Perfect timing.
Sorry this is long, a lot has happened, and I didn't even write most of it down! I will post soon with the rest of my news. Take care everyone!

Heat Wave.
On the news today they announced that California is in the middle of a heat wave. When is California not in a heat wave? I don't like being hot, I'd rather be cold. Whatever, it's not like I can magically change the weather...Or can I? Nope, I tried, I can't do it. On another note, I saw 'Fantastic Four' over the weekend. There has been much debate over whether or not this movie was any good. Personally, I liked it a lot. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions. To those who did not like it...
This was the origin movie. You know, the first movie of a group, the one that introduces the story, characters, and their powers. I compare it to X-men and Spiderman one (Both of which I enjoyed). The truth is that the first film is always a little slow and not full of action. 'Fantastic Four,' like X-men and Spiderman, will only get better in the sequel. By then the characters will be developed, be used to their powers, and will have more evil people to fight. I say give this movie time to find its roots. I liked this movie and I can't wait until the second one comes out.
In other news, I am going camping this weekend. Again. I just went camping but whatever. My family and I are going to Pismo beach. On our way there we are stopping by my Uncle's for a visit. It should be interesting. I haven't seen my cousins for quite some time. I do miss them though. The second set of news I have is that tomorrow is my first gym day. I am meeting with a trainer from 11-12. I bought gym clothes and everything. Another good thing about this is that, even though it is only for a month, Bethany goes to the same gym so we can go together.
That's about all for now, I should have more soon. I am expecting a call from a certain roommate of mine, she should be tell me some news of matrimonial proportions. I'll post again soon!

Something Interesting...
 | You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

Thanks to Liz who posted this on her blog as well. I always knew I was an angel. ;)

Another Year Down...
So today Bethany called me and told me that her boss had given her free movie tickets and she asked me if I wanted to go. We went and saw "Batman Begins." I really enjoyed it! It had just the right combination of emotional conflict and action. I would absolutely see it again. In other news, tomorrow is my 22nd birthday. Yes, another year has come and gone and I still feel unaccomplished and stuck in this rut known as school. Oh well, at least I am accomplishing something. There is a certain amount of security that comes with school. You come to expect certain things and when it is all over you have to face the real world and hope that you survive.
I just found out that a good friend of mine is getting married. I am really happy for her. She is one of the nicest girls I know. It seems like everyone I know is either getting married or having babies. I know that I am still not quite ready for something like that, but I do feel like I am getting closer. Anyways...That is pretty much it for now. Other than the fact that I went camping over the weekend. It was dirty but fun. I went with my family and we rode quads. Kody, my dog, didn't enjoy it. He does not like being dirty, but he loved the ATV rides. That's all for now...I will post again soon.

Mood: Conflicted
I know, it's been almost a month since my last post...I wish I could say I have been doing better and more exciting things, but the truth is that I haven't. Life here has been slow and boring. My motivation to go out and have a life has been stifled by the heat. I am still actively looking for a job, and I've had a few interviews. But the fact that I can only work for two months and that I won't work on Sundays is hindering my progress.
I am bored here. There is not much to do. I saw "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" the other day. It was pretty good. I cried, I laughed...I generally had a good time. Now some of my friends...*cough, cough...Liz* Probably won't like this movie. Those friends might refer to this movie as corny. Well, people eat corn. And I liked the film...oh, well.
The title of my blog reads conflicted. Well, I am. Part of me longs to go back to school and hang out with my roommies...And the other part of me wants to stay here and enjoy the simplicities of life. Of course that life comes with nagging parents and annoying siblings. It's not always bad here, but it does get aggravating. Maybe tomorrow will bring me a different outlook on my life. Well, I guess that's it for now. Stay safe and keep busy.
