She's ALIVE!

yep- tis true... I'm BACK! :) Remember that one time I said I was so excited about my new blog life?? (oh you don't, huh? just scroll down it's only like 2 or 3 posts away.. shoot- you may not even need to scroll! haha) K, anyways, so this is pretty much what my regular journal is like.. I really love to write and share lots of details with what's going on with  me, but then I don't.. and then FOREVER goes by... and here we sit today in such a situation :)

So, I'm back in Rexburg!!! Christmas was SOOO great. Definitely not long enough, but a small part of me was excited to get back to Idaho (oh definitely not for the constant snow&ice and below freezing.. with the frequent visits of NEGATIVE temps).. but for friends and the faster I finish up school the BETTER. Another highlight over the break was my night out with my best friends from way back when. That was a girls night gone RIGHT for the three of us hahaha... am I right or am I right?? But we started reading Vampire Academy and the goal was to blog about our little book club... I nominate myself as the slacker of the bunch, but when it comes to reading, I think I'm moving right along with everyone else!! Ps- Vampire Academy!! AMAZING! and I really feel like it's one of the best kept secrets right now with great reads. I'm waiting for February 22nd for the 5th book (oh it's already out and it's KILLING me) but the 22nd is when the paperback is published and since I already have all paperbacks, why jump too soon and have the last two books to be mismatched. Call me picky! Hmm... I'm thinking a whole separate post solely on VA.

Alrighty- classes.. yeah, I'm already over them hahaha.. I really like most everything I'm taking. I have 2 religion classes (Book of Mormon and Family History) Love them both. I mean, I've already read The Book of Mormon a bajillion times- WAY better than VA, but then again VA is fictional and BOM isn't. But the class is just really cool because it's like Sunday school because we study even harder than just regular reading. Savor every bit! And then family history is just cool because I'm required to search my ancestors and get my genealogy squared away as much as I can while learning all these skills with different programs. Exciting!! .. let's see, then I have a business class where I have to make a website of want I want to do (So I made two websites but I'm not gonna give out the sites just yet bc it's not official, just business class stuff- one is for chiropractics and the other is my (drum roll please....) Wedding Boutique!! Kalina's!!!) Then I have World Foundations with the spunkiest teacher I've EVER had. I mean, he did a somersault the first day for cryin' out loud haha.. He's a nut, but really fun. Math class is interesting because I haven't taken a legit math class since senior year (ps, if you're counting that's pretty much 6 years... shut it) but it's not too bad.. the good thing is it's called Math for the Real World so it's a bunch of practical stuff instead of the boring stuff you're forced to waste time on in high school... or really, almost any other math class for that matter. Micro Econ is online and I don't know what possessed me- wait, yes I do- LAZINESS... I didn't want to walk to my class one day so I dropped it and signed up for the same thing but online... Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Online classes for me are like, out of sight, out of mind... therefore I completely forget I have it.. But I'm getting a little better.. Oh, and sad day- I signed up for a flower arranging class and was pumped beyond all means, but get there and the class is INTENSE!! It's a big deal and I decided I'll give it a whirl another semester when I'm more prepared for it...But that's school... But the coolest part is what I'm volunteering for...

I'm with our Center Stage board of directors (ok, maybe I added the "directors" part- it just sounded cool) but we really are a board of about 10 of us who get together and plan out the performances on campus... what concerts we want, keeping the artists happy when they're in town, promote the shows, and announce the shows.... it's a TON of stuff, but so fun. I've always wondered what it would be like behind the scene of concerts and stuff and thought about doing that as a profession so this gives me the feel and yeah, I think I'm going to stick with business. I mean, it looks sweet on resumes and stuff, but I'm just going to have fun this semester with it. I've got good friends on the board with me and I've met lots more people on campus because of it.

K, I better get to bed.. it ain't the weekend yet! Oh, ps one more time- volleyball game tomorrow night! what!what!! We're totally gonna lose, but I'm PUMPED!! hahaha..
Shout out to TN and Italy!!! love you!!!
