Happy New Year! Yes, I know it's been the new year for 20 days now, but it's still January so it counts. Speaking of the new year I have a confession: I didn't actually stay up until midnight this year. Crazy, I know. But when you have a 14 hour drive coming up, it's kind of a good thing to get some sleep. The drive to Rexburg from CA was actually not bad. It's been a pretty mild winter so there just isn't much ice and snow. I did have to figure out how to change my windsheild wiper fluid to the stuff that can endure below freezing temperatures. Don't really have that issue in CA. Luckily there was a nice guy at one of the gas stations that offered help.
Anyways, finally getting into my apt since last July was the best feeling! I was SO excited. I've mentally been here for a couple months before getting here. My roomate Kimmers (a roomate from spring semester) was here and I was excited to see her! All of my roomates are pretty great. We get along super well! Its so cool how God just knows what you need and puts certain people into your life. Two of my roomates birthdays were during the first week of school so we started off the semester partying it up. I also was way happy to see a lot of my friends from last year. There's nothing like reuniting with people you love! Below is a picture of me and most of my roomates. We stole a chair from our guy friends apt and sent them this pic with a ransom note demanding dinner or the chair gets de-cushioned. We're a little crazy... but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Classes are going great and I'm excited for the rest of the semester! It's a lot of hard work, but worth it when you start seeing awesome results. Then you look back and see how much you've accomplished. Just to start all over again the next semester. There are a couple really exciting things I am doing other than school. I tried out to be a fitness teacher for the schools fitness program and I GOT IT! I was super excited. I'm the Abs that Rock intructor and I love it! Abs are my favorite thing to workout! I also tried out to be a part of the off-campus choir From the Heart and also made it into that. It's been a blast so far. Well my roomates and I are heading to a dance party in a couple minutes. I should get ready... Hopefully you'll see me on here a bit more often. Bye until next time :D
