2 years? Time flies when you are having fun...

So this week I officially completed two years of attending college.  I can't believe it.  I finished up Monday at approximately 7:16pm and I was relieved.  I shortly realized that that concluded a two year spree from going to school.  I do still have 5 semesters (4 and 2 terms left) but I feel like I have a lot ahead of me. To look back on the two years... I took some great classes in Freshman Academy with my roommates and ward.  I enjoyed taking Nutrition except for the act I was only a freshman so I didn't intake the knowledge as much as I wish I would have.  

I continued on in the next semester with some Child Development and some Linguistics as well as some other great things.  I learned much that semester about balancing school and best friend (boyfriend)/ social life.  I then moved away from Heritage to Liberty Square.  I worked almost full time at the MTC Bookstore, living the life of working and relaxing. 

Suddenly August came around after a vacation in Arizona, bringing emotional and academic stress.  Who knew having your best friend in the MTC could become so interesting.  In this semester I both learned Spanish and I passed American Heritage.  

After a wonderful Christmas and what seems like yesterday, I started my 4th semester. I enjoyed learning the ins and outs of children's literature as well as another amazing semester from Brother Perkins in D&C.   That class in its entirety has completely changed my life and view of this gospel.  I decided after only one day of being out of school that I really LOVE learning.  I thrive on it.  I am weirdly excited to begin again on Tuesday.  Ask me if that is still true in a month or so but I can't wait to begin fresh and start some Education classes.  

Cheers to a great first half of college.  May the second be just as good, no wait it shall be two hundred times better cause part of it shall be in New Zealand! Oh i can't wait.  That is the only thought that helps me make it through summer school. 

Easter: A realization of Adulthood

So this year we had the annual McMullin Easter Picnic.... although it was in a church because it was snowing.  I got an email informing me of the time, when, where.  This email also included that I now, since I am 18-35, bring a salad to share.  Not to mention that I was excluded from the egg hunt, not that I was included the past 5 years, but I now felt a little left out. This made me realize that I am truly an adult now, can't believe it took until I am almost 20 to realize. I must say that I do have the best sister ever.  I got dressed and I was going up stairs and I found a egg on the stairs.  Yup, I had my own egg hunt.  Needless to say, I am still missing one egg..... I shall find it before we leave though.
Another thing that made me feel like an adult this month was paying taxes.  I loathe taxes, not doing them but when you think you may be getting money back but really have to pay a whole lot isn't the greatest feeling.  Oh well.... Thats life right?
