Back to the Land of the Thriving Sun!

I'm back! And a lot sooner than ya'll thought huh? :)

Well, I'm back in Thatcher now, land of the thriving sun. It's dang hot down here and I'm so glad I live in a house with AC. School is going well so far. I just finished my first week and boy am I glad of that! I find that the first week of every semester is the longest so I'm glad it's over with. I'm a little nervous about some of my classes, but I'm sure I can rise to the challenge. I'm glad I have good instructors who are constantly reminding me that if I need help, they are always available. Besides my music classes (music theory, aural perception, and marching band) I'm learning French and American Sign Language. French is so much fun and I can't wait to learn it more. The French for some reason are very proud of the way they talk. I think it's hilarious and that's why it's so fun to learn it. I'm excited to learn ASL too. I've only been to one class since it's one night a week. I'm sure it'll go well in my quest for learning new languages.

Other than school I've just been trying to adjust to everything. I have new roommates, a new room, an new major, a new EVERYTHING!!! Everything has changed since I first came here 2 years ago. When I moved back the first day it felt like I was a newby all over again. It's been good though, all things considered. My new roommates are awesome! They are hilarious and I absolutely love them! Here is a video of Aubre's uno trick :D
Anyway, life is wonderful, and it always will be. No matter what I hope that we can all remember that. In this crazy world of ours it's always good the think positive. Hasta luego mis amigos!

Summer Miracles

Hi there! It's the end of the summer and I thought you guys deserved an update. I ended up getting a job, two actually! Yippie! Thanks to all of your prayers and voiced concerns about this. I was very blessed to earn enough money this summer so that I could go back to school this fall. First, I got a job working for my neighbor and really good family friend, Karen Thompson. I helped her with summer projects like painting the house, cleaning her house, helping her survive her daughter's visit :), and other odds and ends. It was a good experience and I felt blessed getting something to do. Next, I got a call from Karen's daughter who needed an employee at a place called Grumpy Jake's over by the DQ in Taylor. I was thrilled when she told me I could start the next day and that I would never have to work Sundays because they were closed on those days. What a blessing! At times it gets hard getting there on account that it's in Taylor and I either have to steal a vehical or someone takes me. It's been worth it though.

Also, the past couple of weeks I've made a big decision that I think will effect the rest of my life. I've decided to become a music major. I can already see myself wondering what the heck I was thinking, but I have always loved music and I feel I need to do this. Music saved me at one point in my life so I think it deserves some payback. I know I'm not the best at music, but I will do my best at it. Thanks Mom for talking me into it! I honestly don't know why I wasted two years when I should've been doing music this whole time. At the same time, perhaps it wasn't a waste after all :)

Anyway, enough of my rambling and going on! I got nothing else to talk about so I'll let ya'll go. Until next time I get bored or have specular news or......whatever I guess :D I love you all.
