January 2009

So here it is, half way through January of the new year! 

A few changes came for me in just the first week or two of the year:

1.  I got a new calling in my new singles ward:  Sunday School Orientation teacher.  (Gotta love those made up callings that come with the singles wards!)
2.  I got accepted to and began attending the University of Utah (4th college in 4 yrs)
3.  I got direction as to a new major in school:  International Studies
4.  I completely withdrew from UVU for the first time since high school.
5.  I became a regular on Trax.  My mornings now begin with chasing down the light rail trains.... just buring more calories i guess.
6.  My days start earlier than they have in years, and every morning I remember in a vivid and very real way that I do not function in the mornings when the moon is still out.  
7.  My room is actually clean. 
8.  I am applying for Cambridge University through the U of U's Study Abroad program for the month of July and hoping I'll get to go!
9.  My computer of 3 years gave me the blue screen of death.
10.  I was forced to purchase a new computer, and I switched from PC to a MacBook.  


Things that haven't changed:

1.  I still love Harry Potter. 
2.  I am obsessed with sweets. 
3.  I am still single.
4.  I still work at Rescue Alert and Rocky Mountain Dance.
5.  My car still hasn't been fixed and therefore buzzes at me whenever a door is locked/unlocked (via key of course, cause the electronic locks broke a long time ago)
6.  I hate spending money and was rather bitter that I had the expenditure of a new computer.

Mandee, I found your blog via Michelle's blog which I found via myspace. Hahaha. Anyway, it is good to hear you are doing well. How are you liking the U? International studies sounds like a great idea. And Macs really are the better computer, good choice.
