Alexander and the Horrible Terrible No Good Very Bad Day...

So as a kid one of my favorite books was "Alexander and the Horrible, Awful, No Good, Very Bad Day" and from time to time, whenever I have a bad day it reminds me of that book. Well today was one of those days. I ALMOST lost my cell phone after psychology, but luckily was able to find it. THEN after my last class for the day, I found out that I had lost my I card. Which is a student ID card for all BYUI students and it contains all of the money you need for food and printing papers and things like that. So I decided after I got done eating lunch (I didn't realize that I didn't have my card until I went to pay for my lunch) that I would go back to the classroom and see if it was still there. Well when I got there a class was still in session, so I had to wait for a while, but when I got there my I card unfortunately was not there. So I have two papers that need to be printed out and hopefully one of my roommates will be generous enough to allow me to use one of their printers. Other than these two instances my day has been pretty good. But I am kinda homesick today. I've gotten to the point where I'm not so homesick anymore, but I think on bad days everybody gets a little homesick. Or maybe it's just me. I don't know. I was talking to my best friend Terrah yesterday and explaining to her some of the things that I miss about home, and I said I miss the sounds of trains, but I don't miss the sounds of gunshots. Haha I can't wait to go home for thanksgiving. I just need someone to call me or text me saying they can give me a ride. Well I guess I'll just have to hope for the best!

College...

So here I sit at a computer in the David O. McKay Library at BYU-Idaho and a ton of thoughts are running through my mind right now. First off is how much I really need to be studying for my Social Problems test right now, but the online reading is really boring. Haha second is that I'm meeting my new friends Melanie and Ariel for dinner in about a half hour and I'm definitely stoked for that, because I'm really hungry. Lol and third is that college is different. There's this whole attitude of business and relaxation all at the same time. It's really strange but nice. My grades are really good so far. I mostly have a's and b's in all of my classes. I'm taking Intro to Geology, General Psychology, Intro to Theater, Social Problems, and Book of Mormon. I think my favorite class this semester is Social Problems. It's very interesting and gives me a different view of the world, plus my professor is really out there, so it's kind of entertaining as well as "intellectually stimulating." I think my least favorite class is intro to Geology. There are some interesting parts but for the most part it has a tendency to put me to sleep. I got a 75% on the test that I took for that test today so I guess that you can still take really good notes while half asleep. Haha It took me a long while to adjust to being here. Well maybe not a long while, but longer than I originally anticipated. It was just last week where I really began to feel like I think I can manage this college thing. I still don't feel old enough to be in college, but I really do like it here. Life has finally fallen into place for me I think. I'm so grateful for all the wonderful new friends I've made here. I know for sure that if it weren't for them I probably would have just called it quits and had my parents come get me a long time ago. Haha so hopefully life here in Rexburg, Idaho will just get better. It's been pretty good so far so here's to life just getting better!
