The Start and the End

Well this is the first blog that I have written since December. Wow. The time has flown by, and now the end of the new semester is coming. But I can't wait for the end of this semester. Today the weather is good. It is so warm outside. I don't want to be cooped up in this school any longer. I want to feel the sun on my skin! But once school gets out, we get a long summer, approximately 4 months! Beat that every other school that gets out in May! It will be a bittersweet goodbye to every one here at BYU. But alas, I will be returning next fall, ready for a fresh new start on the semester. There are going to be so many of my friends going on missions and I won't get to see them for two years, but hey, it's a good thing. They are doing to the Lord's work and that's the way that it should be. I wonder how many people are sill writing their blog from English 150 last semester. I guess it's just me, but that's ok. I hope everybody who reads my blog has a good time reading.

21. Evaluation

I am glad for this assignment. At first, I thought that it would be burdensome and long but I found that I liked writing these blogs. There were just days where my blog came in handy for me to expel some of the things that were floating around in my head, and I found that I expressed myself. After writing these blogs, I feel like my life is a little more organized in my head, and that I have a place to expel feelings and things that are just stuck in my head. I hope that my blog has helped others in some small way. I also hope that I provided some entertainment. I am going to try and plan and write more blogs and use it more as a open journal. Thanks Sis. Steadman!

20. The End of the Semester

The end is coming. Not of the world. I don't believe in the end of the world coming in 2012. Please, that's just the end of the Mayan Calendar. No one should ever be able to predict the end of the world. Anyway, the end is near for us. This is semester is ending quite soon. All there is after this last week is finals. I shudder at that word. But this is the end of the old, and the end of the Freshman Academy that everyone has come to love and enjoy. This is the end to eight o'clock chemistry everyday. This is the end of seeing the familiar faces everyday. This is the end of the semester. I didn't realize how fast it was coming to an end. But I am glad that I chose to come to BYU. I am glad to have met all of those who have helped me through the semester with tests, and with homework. I look forward to the incoming semester and for the much needed break that will becoming next week. Good luck to all on your finals. And have a very Merry Christmas!

19. Drive

Outside there is much snow. And many people from out of state have never seen this wonderful, fluffy, white stuff that falls from the sky. I'm lucky, I have lived in Idaho my entire life, and I have seen plenty of snow. I am also a very fortunate person, that I get a ride to school every morning. But this morning was very a very different morning from the rest that we've had this past school year. There was at least a foot of snow on the ground and none of my friends, who both happen to be guys, have no idea how to handle their vehicles with this much snow, especially the one friend from Southern California. So they both turned to me, and they asked me to drive them to school. What a change in events. Most guys would not allow a girl to drive their car, no matter what the situation. But in this case, these two guy friends of mine, allowed their female, and not to mention Asian, friend drive them through the snow.

18. Music

Has there ever been a song in your head? One that you might now particularly like, but one you've heard recently and it just won't leave? Well, I have. It's rather obnoxious. This morning, I had a Celion Dion song stuck in my head. Not a good choice for the early morning and with classes to begin in a short matter of time. I did the only thing that I could think of and plugged in my iPod and listened to the first song that came on. And luckily that helped with the struggle to relieve my head of unwanted music. And I carried on my day without any good music, just the random thoughts in my head. Hopefully, I have just given you a remedy to that song that gets stuck in your head.

17. More Snow

As I woke up again this fine morning, I looked out to see even more snow. This has to be one of the best days that I have had down here in Provo. I love the snow and the forecast for the rest of the week says that there will be snow for the next two days and then a relief. I don't care so much about the stopping of snow. I just love the snow. The even better part of snow, is that Sundance got tons and tons of snow. It will be perfect for its opening on Dec. 11. Just in time for finals. So I don't know if I will get the chance to go boarding this fine week. Hopefully all will go well with my finals and maybe get a chance to go boarding before I head for home for the holidays.

16. Finally!

As always, I slept in on Sunday morning. It's a good thing that I don't have church until two in the afternoon, or I would almost always be late for church. But this morning when I woke, I looked outside and I saw the most amazing sight. It was snowing! Finally! I have been waiting for this weather for ages. I love the snow, not so much the cold, but I can deal with the cold. Finally, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The snow always makes me want to put on the Christmas music and sing all the good Christmas music. Which is what I am doing right now. Thank goodness for snow and the beauty that it brings to the world. I do feel bad for the people from warm climates that move to Utah. They aren't used to this white Christmas, and some haven't even seen the snow. Oh well, it's too bad for them. I am glad that the snow is finally here.
