Goodbye Summer...Hello Fall!

School has officially started! Yay! I know, weird to be sounding excited about that, but I really am. I have seven classes and 12 credits. So that means two substantial classes and then lots of little classes. I'm hoping it won't end up being full of tons of work. I really need an easy semester. 

I spent the weekend doing fun things. I got a few snow cones (I love them! Can't get enough of them!), went shopping with my mom and grandma, and spent some time with Brady. My sweet mamacita was so great and got me some new school clothes! New jeans and new shoes. Oh how I love my vans! And today I finally found the glasses I wanted and got them ordered! 

 

Not a super crazy weekend, but I think it was a good way to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall! 

I'm going to miss the nights I stay out late swimming with friends, the late movie nights (where I usually end up asleep on the couch), and being able to have Brady come over or I get up and go to Brady's all the time.

But, i'm ready to learn, grow, and enjoy school. I know it's not going to be easy, because school definitely has never been easy for me, but I know that in the end it's going to be all worth it. So here's a  few of my goals for this next school year (hopefully by posting them here, i'll remember to work harder on them)

1) Be more organized. No more losing papers, confusing notes, and messy bag. 

2) Study harder thus getting better grades. In other words...get awesome grades! 

3) Get involved! I want to join a club this year. 

4) Get into the business program. 

Goal #4 is more long term, that is my major goal this year and it's going to be a year long thing that i'm going to working on, but I think that my other goals can help me achieve my big goal for the year. 

Life is more than just peachy! School is more than just peachy! This year is going to be great! 

Oh! And it's almost time to pull out my sweaters and boots! Can't wait! I love fall! 

Swinging into Summer

This past weekend was incredibly awesome. We finished finals a few days before and it was time to celebrate. So what do a group of BYU students do? We drive to Mona, and hit up the local lake and rope swing. Okay, this thing is crazy. You have to climb 20 feet up a tree and then swing off this little platform into the water. It was so great! I was a little scared at first. I've never been one who likes heights. But after making it to the top of the tree, and realizing there was no way down, I had no choice but to swing down and into the cold water. It was so worth it. Once you take the plunge, and just swing, all the fear goes away. I must admit, it felt good doing something that scared me, and it felt even better proving that I am not a wimp in front of my roommates, FHE brothers, and friends. Let's just say facing my fear of heights this past weekend, was the perfect way to swing into summer. I'm hoping i can have more moments like this over the summer, because swinging off that rope was definitely more than just peachy (even if I walked away with some killer rope burn and bruises).

Sitting in the tree, waiting to catch the rope to swing up. 

hehe. This is seriously so fun!
