January Happenings

So it's about time I post, with or without pictures.

Hmmm. Where to begin?

Let's see, I am only taking 9 credits this semester since I am working about 30 hours per week.

• As far as school goes, I love my Spanish class, now that I switched into the right level. I especially love that class because my teacher is a fellow Orem girls lacrosse player and is friends with some of my favorite people! 
• My Doctrine and Covenants professor was a missionary back east when my mom's family lived in New York. I think my grandpa was a counselor in the mission presidency so he got to know the Burnett's and was thrilled to see the grandkid of Reid Burnett in his class.
• My Utah history class is definitely a favorite. The professor is incredibly good. He has the fun job of dealing with a topic that is absolutely loaded with biases at BYU. Although, a majority of the students who go into that class have a narrow opinion of Utah. For those of us from around here it is a bit disheartening. Personally, I like my state. It's home. It's beautiful. I love how much geographic variety there is. I can even make it through the winter when I remember how much I love the summer. And I happen to love the people here.

So what have I done this January?
I finally watched all 3 Bourne movies. I was reluctantly converted to watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. I started coaching the Timpanogos girls lacrosse team. It's been fun to be Becca's coach. She's going to be a great player, especially since she has an amazing attitude at practice. I helped put on my best friend's bridal shower. The best part is that we brought together our old ring of girls from the good old days at Canyon View Jr. High. It was so good to see them all! And of course we had loads of fun at The Soup Kitchen (our apartment). Our place has an uncanny ability of attracting people. Whether it's for sharing dinner, watching movies, P90X, morning scripture study, impromptu game nights, homework help, or ukulele jam sessions, our door is always open and our couches are usually full. You would think that it would be annoying sometimes, but it makes our apartment a home.

Well that is all, so ta ta for now!
