Well, I don't know that I have any pictures to post, so this might be a boring one.. so continue reading if you really care about me. Well, I finished my classes for the semester! I am now officially a sophomore in college! Woot woot! I decided to stay down here in Salt Lake this summer and take a few classes and hopefully work work work. Two of my roommates are done at LDSBC and have moved out and one girl moved in a few weeks ago. So, now there's just 3 of us, but Laurel has been gone visiting family pretty much since school got out, so it's been super nice just having the two of us here. I recently got a job at Bath & Body Works at the Gateway Mall. I have only worked twice and I don't work again until Saturday but then I will be working 3 nights in a row! Yes, I have to work Sunday. It's kind of a bummer, but everyone has to work at least one Sunday a month and I made sure that it won't interfere with my worshipin. I'm thinking about looking for another job too so if anyone has any suggestions, I would be glad to hear them! Classes don't start until June 1st so I am currently just playing with a smidge of work in there.
Speaking of classes, I have been thinking quite a bit lately of my first year of college and what I enjoyed and didn't enjoy about it, what I would change, etc. So, as a side note, I had to take the Math Compass Test to be able to register for one of my classes and I scored high enough to be able to test out of Math 110, which is College Algebra, and if I really studied for it like I could have, I was only a few points away from testing out of Calculus. So when I got my results, the advisor there was asking me why in the heck I was doing Interior Design when I was so good at math. So, that kind of got me thinking. So, after a few days of pondering, talking to mom and Dustin, and researching the possibilities, I have decided to change my major to Accounting and will be working on the Financial/Managerial Accounting A.A.S. Degree. It just happens to work out that I will still be finishing at the same time that I was planning on finishing before, which will be December of 2012. And since I didn't want my first year to be a complete waste of taxpayer's dollars and my time, I have decided to just get an Interior Design Certificate which I will have after completing only 4 more Interior Design classes. So, that is the plan for now. As much as I liked Interior Design, I think Accounting just seems to suit me better. I have one accounting class this summer that is a 4 credit class so I guess we will see after that if I am on the path to something amazing or totally messed myself up for not taking the Interior Design class that would have kept me on track to graduate.
Well, I'm guessing Cherice is dying to know more about me and Chandler so here are the dirty details, just for her! ;) Chandler's dad was in the military so they have lived a lot of places, including Spain, Colorado Springs, and now they live in Illinois. He served his mission in Provo, which covered from Provo all the way down the the four corners. He is almost done studying International Business at LDSBC and will soon be taking a few classes at the BYU-Salt Lake Center to work on his minor, which is a foreign language of which he has not yet decided on. He ultimately wants to be in the FBI. We met the day before Valentine's Day at a friend's house and he asked me out on a date that same night. So, we went out on a date that next Saturday to a Folk Dance Performance that BYU put on at the Conference Center. A week later we went on a date to Ogden. I had never been on the front runner train before, so we took a little trip up to Ogden and just wandered around for a couple hours, grabbed lunch, and headed back to Salt Lake. Then, the next week we went to a performance of Hairspray in Centerville and the next week asked me to be his girlfriend. Of course we did a lot of other random things other than these, but I'm just sharing the highlights. We went to California with 3 of our friends the next week and saw Wicked!!!! And the next thing you know, he met mom and dad and Danielle at General Conference! A week after that, we got in a minor car accident in a rental car on the way back from Orem. It totaled the Charger that we were driving, but we were both ok, and in the end it really strengthened our relationship. The next Wednesday was the last day of classes AND Chandler's birthday! So, I skipped out on my last class and my old roommate, Chelsie, and I made dinner for him and Mike, whose birthday just happens to be the same day. So it was a fun day after all the stress of finals was over. We came up to Idaho for Easter and enjoyed a great weekend with everyone! It seemed like he meshed well with the family and the nephews sure enjoyed playing with him! Our relationship is strengthened every day and we go to the temple often.
That's about all I have for now. As always, I will try to be better about taking more pictures and I will update you guys when anything exciting happens.
