This is a hard week. I have about four projects. One 15 pager I'm going to finish today, a survey research project due Monday (20+ pages), an e-Portfolio, and a final paper that I finished yesterday. I know this week there is not going to be much fun stuff to do.
Yesterday I took a break when Jo came over with Mary and Kori and made 7-layer dip and coconut banana cream pie. We also climbed at Sticks n Stones. Then we made our own iron-on t-shirt quotes. Thanks for the Birthday Party everyone!!!
So it's back to work today, luckily I have some left-over pie. My parents called and left a message on my phone. It was great to hear both of them singing.
I just made arrangements to go back to Anasazi on January 3rd. It's hard to leave here. I think it is because I have built friendships that I don't want to leave behind. I mean I know I will always have certain friendships always, but for the new people I met this semester, we won't keep in touch; it just happens that way every time. Last time I went to Anasazi I felt much more dedicated about it. I guess I'm getting tired of only getting to know people for four months before having to switch wards or housing. It was fun for a while but perhaps I feel a need for more establishment.
After four months at Anasazi I am coming back to Rexburg to finish my last class on the Meso America Tour. Then I will be officially done with school at BYU-Idaho. Graduated with two Bachelors Degrees. I'm wondering if the past four years was worth it. Academically probably not, but spiritually yes. I think from being in an environment where I share the same religious beliefs I have learned so much about myself. Such as more appreciation for my family and a re-connection with my siblings and parents.
I've learned a lot from my jobs on campus and some classes. Other classes were a waste of time and money because of teachers who don't know how to teach. But overall there are some of the BEST teachers at BYU-I. Well it's time to return to doing homework.
cool cool cool bry!! i love it. an di agree your party was cool last night. weird that you will be done dundee. wow. that is a strange feeling i bet.
ReplyDeleteIsn't life such an interesting thing. We are told to work hard to be able to play. So we work hard and time seems to slip by and there is not enough play. So we play and play but we don't have the money to contiue to play so we have to work hard. Life takes such a balance! I feel that you will each your equalibrium if you go extreme into one then push it as far as you possible can the other way. then I believe that you will find that place that you want to be.
