Another brief summary of a crazy week

This past week was really long, but was so great! On Wednesday morning I went to the temple with Amanda. Lynsie, and Jordan which was a great experience. I had planned to use my free time on Thursday afternoons to walk up to the temple, but going with friends makes the trip that much more special.
My friend Laurel had her birthday on Friday, and celebrated it on Saturday- so after the General Relief Society broadcast I went over to her apartment where we played some games, watched some crazy YouTube videos and of course ate cake and ice cream (it was her birthday after all!) 
The third season of Once Upon a Time aired last night- and I'm excited to start watching it again! I finally finished the second season, so hopefully I don't fall behind again! Granted there are way better ways to spend my time than watching it (like watching Star Trek! jk although my sister reminded me last night to watch it.)
My calling in my ward this semester is the Relief Society Music Director. I didn't expect to get called to a calling that I got to serve in once already, but I'm so excited- I love that calling and am thrilled to be called to it again.
This last week I also found a way to solve my problem with not being able to keep track of what class assigned what- it's been a bit of a problem this semester because my professors don't put everything on I-Learn and I'm more dependent on that site than I care to admit.  But I got a dry-erase sheet and made a chart consisting of classes and than the projects and homework assignments for it, so in the morning I can look at it and see quickly how many assignments I need to turn in and what I need to work on during the day- it's been working pretty well so far!
Every Tuesday we have a devotional, generally by someone that's employed here at the school or from the quorum of the 70, but last week Elder Christofferson came to speak to us! It was amazing to be in the same room as him and to listen to the words that he felt he needed to share with us.
Devotional happened at the perfect time too, I was right in the middle of trying to deal with my computer and I needed a chance to take a break and refocus my thoughts on what really matters. My computer decided to stop working while I was using it and so I restarted it. But then I couldn't log back on, and it was just downhill from there- next you couldn't even power it on. To keep the story short, about 3 hours later (not including the hour break for devotional) I was finally able to log on to my computer and we came to the conclusion that google chrome had become corrupted while I was using it- which really screwed everything up! Needless to say, I no longer use google chrome!
I'm looking forward to listening to General Conference this weekend, and I'm hoping to be receptive enough to hear what I need to :)

1st week=success!

     So I just finished my first week as a sophomore up here at school! I've been contemplating how to keep everyone back at home up to date with what I've been doing (as college is so much fun and I just want to share it all with people!) I thought about doing super long status updates on Facebook, but decided against that- I don't know about anyone else but I often just scroll through Facebook without paying to much attention to anything that's super long. So then I thought about e-mails, but I don't have a lot of people's e-mails (thank you to social media.) So I decided on a blog, and hopefully I don't fail to miserably at it!

     Anyways, my first week back up here! I love being able to attend a university so much I don't think I can describe it! I moved again this semester to a different apartment complex, and I'm really happy about where I ended up this time. I have 5 wonderful roommates, and I'm not to far from campus. 

     I have 15 credits: Microbiology, Bakery, Religion, Women's Health, and Advanced Critical Thinking and Writing. I love them all, but Microbiology and Bakery are already proving to be the classes that will be the most difficult. My bakery class is more memorization of the chemistry/science of baking then actual baking- but we still get to make stuff! This week we got to make unleavened bread- it wasn't to bad but it wasn't all that great either. 

     On a completely different note, my window looks out over a round-a-bout and all week I'd been amazed that no one had gotten in a wreck cause people keep cutting other cars off to get to the exit they need but are in the wrong lane for. On Friday, Sadie and I were sitting in our room doing homework when we heard this loud squeal and followed by a sound I don't even know how to describe. From what we could tell it looked like the person entering the round-a-bout failed to yield the person driving the circle, but no one was injured which is good. 

     Basically this week was just intros to classes, so nothing to overwhelming yet, so I've had a lot of time to get to know my roommates better and spend time with friends from past semesters. :)
