I am back! In idaho, that is. Boy, have I missed it. I'll tell you the one thing I have not missed though, the dreaded hill I have to walk up every day to class. Sometimes twice a day because a certain someone thought it was a good idea to move to an apartment at the top of said hill. But who's complaining? Actually I just recently saw Hannah Montana: The Movie. (I'll give you a little time to stop laughing before I continue) and there is this new song she has called 'The Climb'. it is very good and I often find myself listening to that song while climbing the hill over and over. the lyrics are as follows: "Ain't about how fast I get there, ain't about what's waitin' on the other siiiiide. IT'S THE CLIMB!" Woo, it's encouraging. I'd suggest it on itunes.
So, can I just say? My roommates are the bestie best. And, they know me so well. They've talked about making bets on how many chapsticks I will go through/lose this semester. i came up here having lost my burt's bees a week before. so i was chapstick-less and considered just not getting any at all so their betting plans would be ruined. (HAH, that'll show 'em) yet alas, my lips started burning with the crave of it and I had to stop by the byu bookstore for some cheap cherry stuff that I have a feeling is just waiting for me to leave it somewhere.
So, I am taking this class called environmental stewardship. basically, it's all about how to treat the environment. the teacher said on the first day of class he didn't expect us to come up with an answer to the exact way to treat it, or exactly what is right or wrong where nature is concerned. that is foundations classes in a nutshell for you. they only just started the foundations classes last year. they're learning as they go with it, which is fine. but there were two things i came away thinking after the first day. one being, there is a lot i do not know about the environment. and two, i just want to get rid of everything I have that is not a necessity. Cell phones, ipods, computers, extra clothes, cars, etc. of course, after I leave the class those thoughts chill out. but still, i think i'm in for a ride with that class.
I miss my siblings. my hair is getting longer and i seem to be getting freckles. but you cant really tell in this, I guess.
