So right now I'm really confused on where I say I'm from...I grew up in California and that is a big part of who I am, but I also feel that Provo and New York have changed me just as much in less time. That's my biggest problem.
Now on to the update: I'm back at BYU. It's so much fun to be back. I loved New York over the summer, but I am glad to be in a familiar environment. I have two amazing roommates: Tia Thomas and Kali Trost. Tia is a genetics major and works at BYU broadcasting. She's lucky enough to get paid to watch TV. Kali is a nursing major with hopes of transferring to a Texas university. She's amazing at card games (she's beat me at them many times). We are bonding as roommates and personally I'm glad to be with two amazing young women.
Classes are good. Geology is hilarious, and my religion teacher is super outgoing. Creative writing is a challenge, but in the best way possible, although I really don't want to have to write a sonnet. French is going well, it's definitely not 101, but I still enjoy the class. Then there is Early British Literary History. The name makes it sound boring, but the professor makes it interesting. She tell us obscure facts like "The word 'jello' comes from 'hell.'"
Volleyball has become my number one recreational activity. Over the summer it was ultimate Frisbee, but we can't use the field because intramural sports are using it, so I go to the volleyball court to play volleyball, usually for 2.5-3.5 hours at a time. That hasn't made my ankle happy, but it makes me happy. My writing has also increased. I have been writing about a page a night for the last week. I hope to finish the manuscript in about a year, by which time I hope to have my first novel published.
I've had the privilege to reconnect with Kiley, Claire, and Charlotte. They're doing well. We wrote crazy letters to some of the guys we met last year who are serving missions. It was good to be able to go crazy before having to become sane and start classes.
Till next time! =)
