New Semester

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!
