BYU-Idaho Fall 2008

Ok, I am so sorry that it has taken me forever to do a new post about school. It's already been a month and I have nothing up yet. So things have been going really, really well. I really lucked out with roommates. They are all adorable and we all get a long really well. There's Emily, Kelly, Jessica, Holly and Sabrina. I got two of them hooked on Grey's Anatomy. Sabrina watched seasons 1-3 in the first 2 weeks of school! She's now a die hard fan like I am :)

I also lucked out with a good ward and an FHE group. My ward consists of a lot of young boys...the pre-missionaries, but there are also so return missionaries. We got a group full of RM's that are awesome and a lot of fun! I am really looking forward to getting to know them better over the semester. Classes are going really well. I am actually doing exceptionally well in all my classes which is interesting since this is the semester I decided to get the most involved in. Here are some pictures of my room:



My graphic design and photography classes are keeping me busy but I am loving them! My favorite class by far though outside of my major is Teachings of the Living Prophets. I am taking it by an amazing teacher that really makes learning about the living prophets interesting. He also has a very good sense of humor so that makes going to class a lot of fun! Another way to prove how much I love this class...I got my first A grade in the testing center on his test. Haha. Yes I am a second semester sophomore and have yet to have received an A on any tests in the testing center.

Like I said earlier I got myself really involved this semester in things on campus. I am doing Talent Board and I am an Assistant Manager over publicity for the biggest show on campus, Guitars Unplugged. I've made signs, flyers and the t-shirts for this event. It was challenging at first but it really came through and a lot of people really liked what I was able to come up with. Here is the poster I designed. (p.s. the background is supposed to be a royal blue. No idea why it's orange?)



I also joined what's called Photographics Society. It's a group that studies photography and teaches cool tricks that you can do with your photos in Photoshop. I've only been to two meetings but I have already learned a lot and I am excited to start taking pictures. Another cool thing about this group is you enter in photos that you have taken and you have a chance to win money and other cool prizes. So they hold about 3-4 contests over the summer. It's really fun!

I have also been having a lot of fun down in Utah with my fellow efy friends. I am going down again this weekend for General Conference which I am very excited for! Overall this semester has been really good. I can't wait to see what the rest of the semester will bring!
