The Saga Begins (Or college does anyway)

Classes started this week at BYU on Tuesday and with it the realization that college is so much better than high school. There are no more of these "clique" things, no more extremely smart people vs. those who arent (yay me category there), no more not fitting in/always feeling out. Its just everyone going to class everyday and those who work do fine and those who refuse to work, don't. You can sit next to anyone, talk to anyone, go on random adventures with anyone, it really doesn't matter anymore about what your "place" is supposed to be. Everyone is outgoing and willing to chat. This week was filled with fun, random outings. Monday we stuffed in as much last minute before school fun as we could by just playing around with people we had met all over the place. Tuesday was filled with interesting classes. Psychology was amazing! It has to be the most interesting subject I have ever studied. Economics is the class from heck...only common sense works there and since that is the department in which I lack the most, this creates a problem. Book of Mormon is just SWEET! There is no other way to describe it. A whole hour of complete spiritual overload (the teacher just knows how to get the spirit there when he teaches, it rocks!) Then I have all afternoons off, so I go to my apartment, pig out on food, and then decide what adventure to go on for the day. Tuesday was grocery shopping. Fun stuff let me tell you. You never know what food I might end up getting, so my rommates are just learning to get ready for surprises. (Granted they have also already learned I am by nature clumsy...so yes I am the entertainment of my dorm.) Also, Sarah stopped by! We had fun going to the creamery and invading Perry's dorm and just talking to her. Oh how I miss Mesa people and how well we knew each other and could just go no the most fun, random adventures. Wednesday I have beginning social dance, mission prep, intro to humanities (I dropped chemistry...), and then orchestra. Well, last Wednesday I had to do tryouts which were interesting to say the least. I guess I did better than I thought though because I made the symphony orchestra up here. Thursday night Samuel came up with the brialliant idea to hike the Y at midnight. And we for some unknown reason all agreed. So we hiked up the mountain in the pitch black darkness and completely unadjusted to this thing called altitude (meaning we can't really breathe up here yet). It was worthwhile though, on the best views of city lights of my life. Only Wind Caves can even compare. Friday, I only have one class so then I hang out with my aunt and we get lunch. Then I go to her house and do homework and laundry and just escape from the crazy college life for a few hours. Friday night was a huge Heritage party and dance. Sadly, the music up here was just like a Mt. View dance....so there was all the dirty songs and the cuss words and whatever else. Fun to dance to yes, but the spirit refuses to stay. You would think that they would require the DJs to play music that holds up the standards that we all have to live by, but apparently not. Saturday was okish, definitely better towards the end. Lifeguard tryouts I failed at and so now I have no job and therefore no money. Kind of necessary thing to live by, so I will see how that works out. But then all my roommates and I went on a DI trip and it is now my favorite place in the world. It totally creams Walmart, bar none. You never know what you are going to find to play with or what's only going to cost a dollar and therefore worth getting (we now have a giant football pillow due to that reason). After that we threw a huge movie night at my dorm and got a lot more people to come than any of us thought possible. We ended up having to steal all the furniture from the lobby just to get everyone a seat. After that I caught a runaway hamster and took it over to the hall advisors. Then I ran food over to Amanda and Sherrie (Texas girls from NSO that are now practially best friends). We talked till 2ish in the morning. We had so many church meetings today, it was simply glorious. There was stake priesthood meeting, regional conference, and then a fireside and a standards night tonight. There is never a dull minute here that is for sure.
