"For I have made it a subject of prayer, and I firmly believe that it is the will of the Lord that I should go. If there is a work for me to do in this thing, I am determined to attend to it.” -Oliver Cowdery
The quote for this blog came from my reading for my Doctrine & Covenants class and I absolutely love it. When I read it I just thought it applied perfectly to my life. Going anywhere new is a hard experience for me. It takes me a while to feel comfortable around people. But, I know in my heart that this is where I am supposed to be. I have prayed about it time and time again and I just know it.
But just because I know this is where I am supposed to be doesn't mean it's been easy. I am finally getting to the point though where I am actually starting to like it here. I no longer ache to return to SVU every minute. I am meeting some amazing people here and I have no doubt that I am going to meet more people as time goes on.
Apartment picture time! Everything about my new place is wonderful. :) My roommates are great. It is really close to campus. It is just the perfect place.
I am taking three classes this summer: general introduction to chemistry, principles of journalism, and Doctrine and Covenants.
Chemistry is difficult. I have never really had science come easily to me. You know, there is always that silver lining though. Since it has been so challenging every day after class I go to the chem tutorial lab to ask questions and I have a friend in the class who goes with me every time. It makes me happy. :) I love people.
Principles of journalism is my favorite class by far! It is at 8:00 AM which is kind of killer but I still really love it! I find the material fascinating. The reading is difficult and there is a lot of it since it is a condensed summer term but I really love it.
Doctrine & Covenants is absolutely wonderful. I am learning so much by reading the scriptures and we are also reading an additional text called "Making Sense of the Doctrine and Covenants." I am just loving every second of it.
I am still trying to figure out this whole living on my own thing. Hahaha. Cooking has been an adventure. I am pretty good at making cookies! But actually making food to eat for meals is difficult. Do I dare say I miss the dining hall? Hmmm.... probably not. I do miss Jonzzey's though! I have become a pro-sandwich maker and a pro-hot dog maker. Hahaha. I am still working on everything else. I will get it down eventually though. :)
I've also done some really fun things since coming out here. One thing I really love about Utah is there is so much to do! I feel like in Virginia I really had to work to find something to do.
Last Saturday I went to the Lehi Rodeo with Chanson and Lindsey. It was so much fun! The bull-riding kind of stunk, only one man stayed on the bull for the time. Hahaha. But everything else was great. The half-time show was motocross which was really cool. Then after the rodeo they opened up the floor for a dance! It was the absolute best line dance to the Boot-Scootin' Boogie I have ever done.
What else have I done in Utah?
