Week One Completed

Well I have offically completed my first week of the Winter 2010 Semester! Go me! There are lots of new and old things this semester and I am excited for all of it!

Classes: I have 15 creidts this semester which I was a little nervous about since four of those credits are Spanish BUT I think that its all going to work out great! Here's what I'm taking:

Spanish 201 (4 credits): I am taking this with Brother Colvin who is pretty hilarious if i do say so myself. Its only been a week and already I am so happy that I made the decision last semester to drop 201 with Sister Peck. I am once again falling in love with this beautiful language and even though its going to take a TON more work to understand a lot of it I am happy and excited to be learning it again (coming home speaking in broken espanol for the rest of the night is evidence of this)

Home & Family Management (3 credits): We havent done much in this class yet but I think that it will be a good one. I not to fond of the teacher but its a required course for my minor so I will survive. More importantly I will be learning lots about how to run my home and family, which includes a lot of time managment and organizational skills which will help me a lot.

Media Law & Ethics (3 credits): I don't really know about the teacher for this class either but it is a subject I'm really interested in. There will be a lot of history in it, which is different from all the rest of my communications calsses so it will be a good break for that.

PR Writing (3 credits): This class is going to be a lot of work but a lot of fun as well. As a PR class I'll will be doing what I want to be doing as a career after I graduate and I am so excited for it! We jumped right into the class this past week without going over the syllabus or anything. We wrote a New Release and Fact Sheet for our time in the lab on Wednesday and then just to practice our writing Brother Cannon had us read four non-scriptural articles and comment on them. It was really fun and really helped with getting back into the swing of writing a lot.

World Religion (2 credits): I am excited for this class as well. Brother Purse is really fun and I can tell that he aboslutly loves this subject. I am glad that we are going to take the "glass half full" approach and in our studies see what each religion is getting right and what they have in common with the restoration of the gospel.

I've gotten all new roommates this semester...again. There are five of us total in the apartment and we all seem to get along just fine so that should be ok. One is a return missionary and the other three are freshmen still. It should be fun to room with them.

I also have a new calling this semester. I am the Relief Society Secretary. I am the only new girl in the presidency but I know all three girls pretty well and love them all. I am actually really excited for this calling and being able to get closer to the girls in our Relief Society and to be able to serve them.

The last new thing about this semester is that I have a job!! I work Monday through Friday from 6:30-9:30 am at the school bakery! Its super early and I don't do any real baking which is kinda a bummer but it is super fun and I really like the people I am working with. Most importantly I am earning more money for whatever the future may hold for me!!!

Some old things, Im obviously still living in the same apartment and I am still hanging out a lot with my old FHE brothers. This weekend we went to Lava Hot Springs and it was lots of fun! We ate at Senor Iguanas which was delicious and just relaxed in the natural hot springs.

Anyway I have a feeling that this is going to be a really great semester and can't wait for the adventures that are in store for me!
