I'M ALIVE!!!

Yes, I am alive!!!

I know this blog feels very neglected and I feel terrible for not posting sooner. I promised my mom I would post once a week. Well, I failed and failed miserably. I am at the LDS Business College. I think I am in my six week of college! I still can't believe that I'm in college. I swear I should still be Mrs. Brigg's class. College is challenging, busy, and I love it!! I have been living on my own for seven weeks. Well, I live with roommates but they are not my family. :)

I live with six amazing girls. We are all very different and we seem to get along fabulously. I would love to share a picture with this blog but I don't have any of my roommates. I despise pictures but I regret not having any pictures of six of my favorite people. Four of the seven girls are eighteen, one just turned nineteen, and the other girls are twenty plus. None of my roommates are from Utah. I miss all of my friends and family at home but I have been blessed with amazing roommates.

Like I mentioned earlier I am at the LDSBC. Since very few people actually know about this college I will teach you a little about it. The LDSBC is located in Downtown Salt Lake. It is a two year school and is filled with amazing faculty and students. The classes are limited to thirty and the teachers help you personally. They read your papers and know who you are. You can feel how much they love you and I know that they will do anything to help me. The LDSBC is two blocks away from Temple Square. We are located in one building but one of my classes is next door at the BYU building. We are celebrating our 125th birthday this year. There are so many great things about the LDSBC that I will have to share with you in another post.

I attend church at the U of U institute. Yes, the church is true even at the University of Utah! ;) Actually, my religion teacher is in charge of the institute at the U of U. I go to the Capitol Hill Ward. A lot of the sisters have served missions, graduated from college, and now have jobs. A lot of the guys are at the same place as the sisters. My ward is very mature in spirit and I am struggling to catch up to him. I am definitely one of the babies of the ward. I just received a visiting teaching assignment and my partner is Crysta, my roommate. I am very excited for the chance serve two sisters in my ward. I am part of the improv club at the LDSBC. The improv club is very similar to Whose Line Is It Anyway. I attend a class once a week and I don't stop laughing for the whole hour!

I am taking seventeen credits, which sets up for some stressful times! I am taking two religion classes, a finance class, English, Communications, two computer classes, Intro to Law, and Foundations of Learning. The LDSBC surrounds there whole curriculum with the Gospel. I am continually shocked with how much I've been able to learn and handle. It's amazing to start class off with a prayer and have teaches who have the same beliefs as me. I am studying to become a paralegal, which is a new course here! My teacher is Claire Frehner. She solved a huge case in the 90's and she is an awesome lady. She is a convert to the church and has had a lot of trials. She is very awesome!

I am so grateful for all of the tender mercies I receive on a daily basis. I'm very thankful for the chance I've had to come to the LDSBC and Salt Lake City. I am very grateful that I have an amazing brother who goes to school with me. I am grateful for my brother who lives forty minutes away. I am so thankful for the temple that's a block away and for a church that is everywhere.

I miss my family so much but I know that I am suppose to be here! Sorry, this has been a rambling post but I hope to post more often. Posts about Temple Wednesday, BYU games, roommates, and a trip home to follow!
