so I live in rexburg. this is my life:
I wear sunglasses when it's 15 degrees outside. fyi, the snow is ridiculously bright.
My first week of classes went really well. I thoroughly enjoy all my professors. no duds in that bunch. they are all really engaging and teach their subjects really well.
Here's my room

Emily is on the left. Kylie is on the right. Not pictured would be Brittany |
Some highlights of the week include:
- Staying up way too late every night chatting with the roommates.
- Going to dinner with Emily's family Sunday night.
- Spending hours in the quiet floor of the library. Oh man. I love that place. It was productivity central.
- Making stir fry, yummy salads, orange chicken, roasted potatoes, and eating peanut butter and bananas while watching psych on my laptop.
- Going swing dancing with Kayla for her birthday.
- This trail mix.

One time I put it in my salad , forgetting there were chocolate chips. I ate salad with chocolate this week, be jealous. |
- Grandma jan caramel popcorn.
- Stupid movie friday with the roomates.
- Snow cones.
- Elk stew/cupcake/birthday party for Emily We had a few friends come over and laughed so hard. Between Rachel's crazy stalker stories, crazy cat lady conversations (including watching the I Really Love Cats video on youtube) and talking about all of our future husbands, we had a blast.
I think I can deem my first week at BYUI as a success. Let me leave you with the funniest picture I've seen in a long time.
