Make The Best Lemonade You Can!

Oh my gosh. I am such a slacker! I haven't written for months! Oh well I guess that's ok cause it's not like I have a bunch of readers anyways
I started my last semester at BYU-Idaho. Assuming that I pass all of my classes of course. It's kind of unreal. I'm excited to no longer have to go to class and take tests and write papers, but that's also kinda weird to think "I'm done." So this semester consists of studying and finding an internship/job while also making the most of my last bit of college. Look out world, I'm coming!"
Let me fill you in on the last little bit of my life...let's see, spring semester was an exploratory semester when it came to food. Larissa and I had lots of fun finding and trying new recipes. For the fourth she and I went to Ensign Ranch in WA and camped with my family. It was cold but fun. Then we started a combo blog. http://lifeascollegestudents.blogspot.com/ It's a journal of the weird and sometimes stupid things we do.

After the semester was over, like literally the day after finals I drove home with my brother and we dropped all of my stuff at home, repacked and then left 45 mins later for ocean shores. It was really nice to go from school to the beach and know that I have nothing to do. I spent 2 of those 7 weeks at the beach, and basically the rest of the time reading. I read the entire Percy Jackson series. They were fantastic! But that's coming from someone who L-O-V-E-S Greek mythology. I also read Persuasion, and the Red Pyramid (by the author who wrote Percy Jackson). Then I re-read the Host, another one of my all time favorites, and re-read the Hunger Games series because the final book came out in August. It was...really good. It reminded me of the seventh Harry Potter. In that I didn’t know what to expect really, but when I was finished the book wasn't what I expected it to be. Over all it was a really good break. I got to relax spend time with my family, stay up late talking to friends from home and solving the problems of the world with my mom. It was exactly what I needed before coming to my last semester.

I got back into Rexburg Saturday the 4th. Larissa joined me Sunday, Monday we ran errands and hung out with Alex and his sister, Tuesday we went into Idaho Falls and then got to also figure out student loans (which the government is now controlling and so here I am 2 weeks into the semester, and they still have come through. Thank you SO much congress and President Obama, no one can get money for school now, so we will end up with a country filled with uneducated people!!!)...anyways. Then Wednesday Larissa, Ben, Alex, our new roommate Jennifer and her friend Jonathan and I went to the St. Anthony Sand Bar. It's basically a homemade beach off of the river. It’s the best we can get, so I’m not complaining. It has a water slide and a diving board. The water was cold, but we still had lots of fun. Thursday was D-day. Classes started. I think I’ll be ok. Lots of papers and the Y, U, H, N, and M key’s on my keyboard freak out sometimes and I don't care much for a couple of my classes but I think it will be ok in the end.
Well I think that gets you kinda caught up. Have a good one all!

P.S. I would like to make an amendment to my post on April 22, 2010. My plan is to graduate without a ring on my finger. And I'd be fine if there wasn't even a guy to put one there. I view that as the ultimate accomplishment.
