Adventures of October

Well, it has been a while since I have written anything. I have been super busy with school and homework, along with having a social life. ;) I started classes on September 13th. I have 4 Interior Design classes, a computer class, and a religion class. I'm am really liking the chances I am getting to be creative. I am realizing very fast how involved this program is and how much I DON'T know about this profession. But I am learning lots and staying busy. I am still liking my roommates. They keep things interesting and we just keep growing closer! I really haven't been good about taking pictures of things! So this last Saturday, Brett and Cherice/Dustin and Amy hooked me up with some tickets to the BYU vs. Wyoming football game. So I searched high and low and found someone to go with me. So my friend Shaun and I drove down in the pouring rain to Provo. We got there a little early so we went to Danielle's apartment and chilled there whilst we waited for Brett and Cherice to get to Provo because they had our tickets. So we walked through the rain again and made the trek up to the stadium and waited for a little while for them to park and meet up with us. Right when we got in the stadium it stopped raining. We found our seats, they were right above the goalpost on the north side, sort of high up. So we were sitting there as the game started and I looked over at the Y and saw this beautiful sight...

So after the first quarter, Dustin/Amy texted me and told me that there were two extra seats by them so Shaun and I went down and sat by them. It turned out to be a pretty good game! It was very intense at the end but BYU pulled out a 25-20 win so I was excited!

So yesterday in my Principles of Design class we did a pretty fun project. We usually have the last half of class that she gives us a little project to do. Most of the past ones have pretty much just been cutting and gluing stuff together, but yesterday we made a color wheel using frosting! It was such a cute project! We only had red, yellow, and blue frosting and the other colors are a little interesting...but it was still fun and I thought mine turned out pretty good!

Our teacher also brought graham crackers so we could put the frosting on them when we were done. Let's just say I didn't feel so good for the next hour...but it was delicious!

It has been snowing on and off the past few days, but last night around 9 it started snowing like crazy! There was about 3 or 4 inches this morning when I went out to start my car! There's still about that much on the back of my car right now. Anyway, it was pretty cool. There were those people who were freaking out and playing in it, and those who were complaining that they didn't want winter to come yet. I kept telling them they were pansies. So here is a picture looking out from our balcony. It was about midnight though so it was pretty dark. I got half of my car in the picture...as you can see it was already COVERED!

Sorry it's kind of blurry. Anyway, just a few last random pictures. the first one I took about a month ago. The circus was in town and they went on a little parade around The Gateway and they were just finishing when I got out of school so I ran over and got a picture of the elephants. YES! REAL ELEPHANTS! They were so cute!

If you can't tell, they are actually holding on to each others' tails. It was cute! This last picture is one I took as I was getting on the freeway to come back to Salt Lake a couple months ago. I just thought the sun looked really cool coming out from behind the cloud. Sorry for the bug guts...I had to take it through the windshield. hehe

One more picture! I can't remember where or when I took this. But I found it on my phone the other day. I think it might have been while I was in my night class. I have Drafting from 6-9 on Tuesdays and we usually sketch the first few minutes of class. So we opened the blinds to draw buildings and such and this is what we found. It was so cool!So I'm pretty sure that's what this is.

Well I'm doing great down here! Thanks for all the love and support! I really appreciate all the calls, visits, and the "Hey we're here if you need us!"'s. So thank you for everything! Until January...but hopefully not.
