Well....this week

Ummm...this week was definitely an interesting one. My classes are great and I love all my professors...they're hilarious! My Book of Mormon teacher cracks me up on a daily basis and I love being able to study the scriptures in the middle of my school day. My stats professor is funny too and I can tell that that class will be...interesting. My econ class is well...huge! 700 people!!! Its held in the big auditorium in the Joseph Smith Building. Crazy huh?! Then my accounting class has about 600. "Welcome to BYU" is what I have to keep tellin' myself ha ha. Oh yeah, I also have a night class once a week...its about Microsoft Excel which I actually know quite a bit about so that's good. Now to the important part, social life...lol :) jk mom and dad. But it really is a blast down here! Let's see...this week I did alot. Tuesday night Ryleigh and I met her friend Blake and his roommate (Grayson) at Costa Vita for dinner. Then we went over to there apartment, checked it out, met their other roommates and just chilled. We all wanted to play vball (like actually play with people who knew a bit how to play) so we went over to Ry's complex and played. It was so fun!!! Then we went swimming for quite awhile...played some marco polo. And then it was time for the hot tub :) it felt so good. After that we all went back to Ry's and had hot cocoa. Wednesday I had two classes and then did some studying. That night I played a little vball again and chilled. Thursday night Ry invited me to go to dinner with her and her friends. We went out to Utah Lake to meet with a guy named Kevin's parents. They were camping out there and they made us burgers, corn on the cob, watermelon, and beans. It was so amazing! Then we played a game and visited with his parents for a bit. After that we went to a park near campus and met up with a huge group to play night games. It was crazy, but fun. A guy that was with us was hungry so we got into two cars and drove through the drive-thru at Wendy's to get him a burger before he passed out ha ha. Everyone sat on the grass eating and talking, but Grayson and I sat in his truck talking about school, his plans to go hiking that weekend and whatnot. Ry and the hungry guy named Tony were having a water fight. Ryleigh was a fighter lol. Then the guys took us back to Ry's place. Blake's car was there so he hung out for a bit. We walked over to my house and fixed him some hot cocoa because he wasn't feeling well. Guys have to be out of the apartments by midnight so we sat out in the hall til about 12:45 and planned a random roadtrip to California for the long weekend. We planned on leaving Friday at about 6:00 pm and coming home Monday night. We wanted to go to the LA Temple, go to the beach, Santa Monica Pier, etc. Well the next day we were all packed, school done, getting ready to go and Ry got a text saying we wouldn't be leaving until 10 that night (and then driving the 12 hour drive straight through). At first I was kinda questioning whether or not that would be safe and they told me we had lots of drivers and someone would always stay awake with the driver, so I was like ok maybe. Then I called my dad and ran it by him to get his opinion and thoughts and while I was talking to him I got a very strong feeling that I was not supposed to go. I don't know why I wasn't supposed to go or why I was supposed to be here this weekend, but I trusted that that feeling was the Holy Ghost and I didn't go. It was hard for me because I had helped plan this awesome trip, but it suddenly seemed less important...like something I wasn't meant to do. So instead, this weekend I did quite a few fun things. Friday night my roommate Kayli, a girl that lives next door (Lisa) and myself went out and rented a movie and went to Baskin Robbins yum :) We watched State of Play and had a girls night. Saturday morning I didn't wake up until about 10:00...man did that feel good. Lisa and I went and worked out for about an hour. I came home and showered, ate lunch, relaxed. That afternoon I went to Kelsey's house and studied for a bit while we waited for Danica to get back. Then the three of us went to dinner at Chili's and did some catching up. They dropped me off at campus and I met up with Kayli for the women's vball game against Kansas State. It was so intense and really made me miss playing vball. When we driving home from the game the streets were nuts because of the big football win! I high-fived a random student on the street...only in Provo, Utah would I do that ha ha. Then today...wow today was an interesting day. But it's late and I'm way tired so I'll write about it tomorrow :)
