Said good-bye to Rexburg?! NOW WHAT?!

Well, yesterday I had my commencement in Rexburg, Idaho with Elder Richard G. Scott as one of the speakers! It was way cool, and I must say very inspiring! It still feels really weird to me to know that I won't ever be going back to BYU-Idaho for school. I'm student teaching in Bountiful, Utah.. and that's about as far as it goes right now! I get to see three of my sibs this week! Two BEST FRIENDS next week, and am trying to do about twenty things at once! For the next 3 months I will be living out of boxes and it feels EXTREMELY weird! I didn't cry when I left, but it feels like I just left a whole life behind, and not like I did when I left LA either! Anyway, I did have a ton to say, but I can remember it now... so that'll do!

HAVE A VERY BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

One Week...

Oh yeah, that's right... This is the LAST WEEK of Rexburg, Idaho for me! On Saturday I will be leaving not to return for a while! See, I graduate on Friday... kinda... I will be student teaching next semester at Meadow Brook Elementary in Bountiful, Utah teaching fourth grade! :D I'm way excited about this! Things couldn't get better, but I am really happy that everything is looking up for me! I am a little sad about leaving this place, but I know the things that lie ahead in life will work well for me! I'm excited to take on the adventure of Student Teaching, and then what ever else is in store for me! I must be getting to bed now... tata!

Welcome back to ICEBURG!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's that time of year again! Iceburg, Idaho has been officially welcomed back to not go away until April of next year (most likely)! The streets, or at least sidewalks, are beginning to have black ice every where! How does that happen so fast? Well, all the students that live here have to have some way to get to class, and the majority walk... so, you have over 12,000 students walking to class (along with some faculty), and you get the result of seeing ice begin to form underneath the snow that has been trodden on several times. Now, you're probably wondering how I even had time to even begin to figure this out... well, the answer is I have officially been up here going to school for 4 years now. I have had this figured out over the past 4 years, and my theories have just been proven and made perfect to know it's all a fact now. :) More reasons it's known as Iceburg, Idaho in the winter time... well, this occurs when you are walking to class, or even step outside and the following begins to freeze: your nose hairs, your eyelashes, your hair, your mouth, your phalanges, your legs, your arms, and you don't even want to think of not buddling up to face it, but no matter how much you prepare some part of you is still freezing and when you finally walk into the building and begin to take off the fifty layers in which you are wearing you also have to be conscious of the fact that now you have icicles hang from your eyes, hair, and nose... gross! So, then before anyone sees you with all these icicles all over your head you have to try and get them off before anyone can tell, and you end up embarrassing yourself! So, my new realization today is that I am ETERNALLY grateful that I WILL NOT be up here for another winter semester! I think I would die if I were. I'm hoping that I'll be able to thaw in a couple of weeks... Oh yeah... see, many say "Rexburg, Idaho... where many are cold, but few are frozen..." I think that should be different... because all are frozen, but somehow they are all still walking around like zombies to class.

Anyway, I am graduating in like two weeks, and today I will get my cap & gown and my student teaching assignment... I think I am absolutely ecstatic about both... however, hopefully I can just stay focused on finishing... senioritis wasn't even this bad in high school! GOOD LUCK, and if you're coming this way any time soon... BUNDLE UP!!!!!!
