President Gordon B. Hinckley said:

"Today many sisters are being called to serve. Many more are preparing to serve. Not because they aren't married or don't have anything else to do, but they have the desire to serve. One reason that the Lord wants more sisters to serve is because within the next generation He will send His priesthood army to the earth. He wants to send choice spirit children to mothers who have been prepared, properly trained, and taught in the gospel. What better schooling can a mother have than to experience and grow as she serves a mission." --Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Three weeks in and i'm still surviving!!


Yes, I know I haven't blogged in forever.
And yes, there's a good excuse!
Am I happy about it??
well. it'll have to do.
And my excuse...?
C.O.L.L.E.G.E.

should i be doing homework right now?
yes.
but! i figured if i took this hour break to update my life, then I could resume studying after Calculus.
Calculus?! yeah...i'm in it. scary word huh?
I was so excited when I was able to say that I wouldn't have to take it for pre-requisites for Dental School, but they're smart! They snuck it in for pre-requisites for those classes
(aka-physics)
so, here I am trying to balance Anat/Phys, Anat/Phys lab (mind you, is another class!! or so it feels like. separate assignments, another 2 hour lecture, separate quizzes, and separate tests)
then, there calculus, math 110, Book of Mormon, and Grad School Preparation class.
Right now, my hard classes are Anat/Phys (obviously.), calculus, and Math 110.
I panic because there's not enough time in a day to get all my calc hw/studying, anat/phys studying, and math 110 hw done.
but, i'm surviving.

then, there's the social life that doesn't exist.
well, it does but not as much as previous semesters and somehow, i'm okay with it.
my time is spent studying instead of snowboarding, and going out every night w/ friends.
Yes, i'm managing to go on dates where I've met some really great guys and some I already knew.. but, they've been extremely fun!

our house..super cute! still loving it.
we still are struggling to have everyone clean up their messes and have dishes done regularly,
(yes...my roommate and I are guilty of the dishes)
but! it's been a learning opportunity.
we love having home cooked meals and we eat dinner each night together with Kaitlin.
yeah. she's our third musketeer.
and we love every minute of it.
she lives over at our house more than her dorm room..kinda funny.
then, there's josh. he's lived at our house recently too!
but i don't mind.
we watch movies, play games, learn card tricks together and do them on each other as if we have no idea how to do it. haha
we may be corny, but it's fun!

i joined the dental society.
excited much?!!!
yes. it's such a blast..
and my thing about marrying a dentist isn't gonna happen at BYU-I..
they're ALLLLLLLLLL married! haha
but, the activities they have set sound so fun.
next week, we're carving a tooth out of a bar soap.
then, we're taking impressions on eachother another week.
having guest speakers.
and! we might take a trip this semester to UNLV where they open up their dental school to people like us to come in and fiddle around, learning instruments, etc.
wow..am i ahead of the game or what!?
i love it!

well. i think i'll just wrap up the highlights of the semester so far that you may understand and you may not. but i'll get them and my fellow possy will too..

wow. three weeks and this is just what I came up with in the little time I have. but, there's sooo much more that's happened. but this is just a little update on my life and college because it probably won't be anytime soon that I update it.
