Pictures!!!

So, here are some pictures! They are all ones I stole off facebook, so if you've been facebook stalking me (dad...) then you've already seen them! Sorry, I'll try to take more on my own...

That first one is my favorite. it was taken in the bed of a truck driving to a bonfire... more on that epicness later!

after the opening social. we played in the mud =].

yay for tanning under an umbrella!

So those are the pictures. What have I been up to lately? lets see!

Well classes (my number one priority, right?).

Psychology is my first class. I love it! It is a ton of work though. The textbook is over 700 pages and we have to get through the whole thing in 6 weeks. It is a ton of reading and studying, but the stuff is facinating! I am going to minor in psych. It is also a fun group of people in that class. Quite the assortment!

Next I have my sped class (sped = special education). I really enjoy this class. It is the Inclusionary Teaching of Exceptional Students. So basically teaching general ed teachers how to deal with special needs students. It is also a lot of work, but it's random work. I feel like I am learning a lot of little tricks and random facts that will help me. So it's great!

On the other days I have Hula first. It is so much harder than I thought it would be! I feel so uncordinated! But it is an adventure!

Last, I have Book of Mormon. I wont say much about this class to try and keep a postivie attitude.

All but hula are two hours and ten minutes long. That is a long time! I'm taking 9 credit hours, which is the equivalent of 18 in a semester. It is also the max you can take. So I spend a lot of time studying!

Well, besides going to class, I've been having a blast! On Friday night we had the opening social, which was fun, but then we went to a bonfire after on the beach and it was AMAZING! I got to drive in back of a truck! So so so much fun. That is definetly a highlight of my time here.

I no longer have a roommate, our room was so small that she moved out. I really like having a room to myself and I don't think I'll like it when someone moves in in summer! but hopefully we will get along well.

I got to speak in sacrament meeting on sunday, that was interesting. I'm glad I got it over with =].

I also talked to jessie anderson on sunday telling her that she needs to come here, and that is still true! Anyone that can should come here! If you don't believe me, give me a call and we'll talk about it.

I'm missing everyone but having a blast here! You should all write me letters (my address is on the left hand side) or atleast call me sometime! Aloha!

Much much love
