So, especially for a young, single, college student - the only thing constant is change. One second you are dating someone, the next you are in China, or a youth counselor. You are living on your own, you're living at home, you are working, you're on Institute Council, you are engaged, you are considering a mission. . . Life is flat out crazy.
Ok... So what I'm saying is... I'm not going to be in Utah County this coming fall. I am moving to Logan to attend Utah State University. I am so excited, but at the same time kinda sad.
I'm giving up that awesome apartment with Ale which I already miss, but I'm going to be exploring all sorts of different majors that weren't an option until now. YAY! I'm soooo excited!
Come visit me, if you can!

Associates Degree
I just finished my last final presentation. The only thing keeping me from my associates degree is one more test. Too bad it's the final for Math 1050. I must pass... and I will.
I'm moving home in one week for the summertime. I'm going to be an EFY Counselor again and I am super duper excited. YAY EFY!

I got 90% on my math test.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Keeping Ya Posted
I volunteer at a crisis nursery center for my social work class. Don't be scared by the word "crisis". I've been volunteering for a little over a month, and we've never had a crisis case. It's just a safe environment for kids that are going through the foster care system or family tragedies. It's a lot of fun. I absolutely love it.
This last week, I was watching this little boy play with a dollhouse. There was an elevator that moved up and down with a touch of the button. You could tell he was deciphering it with his little boy mind. I went up to him and asked, "How does that work?" He turned to me and very seriously said, "Because I said so."
It made me laugh out loud. He heard that answer a lot, I guess.
This week for iTV, AJ and I had this very detailed plan. It involved our President, Derick reading a book entitled "How to be a Superhero in 5 easy steps" and proceeding to do those five easy steps. They were:
1. Choose Name - He chose Mr. Power.
2. Find Costume - He wore two capes (thanks Kristi!). One was blue and long, the other was small and red with a mask too small for his head. Also a shirt with Mario on it that said "Power Up!".
3. Destroy Arch Nemesis - This one is my favorite. We had a girl tied to a pillar with rope, struggling to get free. Mr. Power had a guy in a black mask, my incredible friend Casey, in a headlock.
4. Rescue Pretty Girl - he untied her from the pillar and she loved him. Then he raised his arm in a nice, strong power-to-the-people pose.
And... to tie this all into Institute:
5. Go to the Dance
It was so much. I hope it's funny. I think I may have got way to caught up in my own weird sense of humor. Haha. Oh well! I know I will really like it!
Alejandra and I found a place to live. I can't tell you how excited I am to move in.... I'm very excited! It's a really nice condo and we have our own tree! YAY for foliage!
Anything else?? Yeah... I found the best career ever. That's right. I have...made...a....final... decision???? ugh..... maybe.
A Child Life Specialist seems right down my alley. Let me know what you think.

Update...
1. Apartment Anxiety
Alejandra and I are trying to find a nice place to live for the next school year. We are having a really really hard time. :P In the past years, I was focused more on price or location. Now I would really like to find someplace that just feels like a home. A place I can do a bit of decorating and cooking and piano-playing. After looking at a bunch of different places, I think a condo will be the best option. There are TONS of condos though.... Which one? Which one?? Our goal is to have one picked out by the end of this week. Wish us luck!
2. Lost
Here is my spiel about this TV show. I have watched every episode of every season. I love the characters, except for Ben of course. Here's the thing though: We are in the 6th season now, and pretty much what would have been a shock is not a shock anymore. I don't think anything can happen to the storyline to shock me anymore. I've given up on trying to understand it, yet I always watch it. It's like an addiction. I'm lost (haha) as to why I can't turn off the TV and walk away. I feel my brain cell's shrinking and my face shriveling into a look of pure confusion and there is nothing I can do to stop because I'm hoping one day it will all make sense.
3. Kinda annoying...
And my soap box moment of the week.... Car flyers. I feel like I should get a No Solicitor Sign for my car. Flyers about parties, about doing summer sales, about classes for school. And I don't usually notice them until I'm cruising down the street and a paper is trying to break free from my windshield wiper which cannot be fixed by turning on the wipers bytheway.

Best Compliment
I had such a great day this last Friday. It was absolutely incredible! Let me extrapolate:
I woke up on time, which is always a good way to start the day. Class was great and what not. I understood Math, which also added to my happiness level.
Then I went to institute and got a pretty good seat for the devotional. We had a guest speaker... Elder L. Tom Perry! I got to wear an earpiece to make sure the recording was going well. With my awesome white trench-ish coat, I looked like Security and felt awesome. After a very spiritual devotional, I went to a luncheon with my Institute Council pals and Elder Perry. We had Lionhouse rolls, and Chicken Cordon Bleu (hmmmm) and the biggest eclair I have ever seen in my life. It was delicious!
Elder Perry then said a few words to the council, including one of the best compliments I have ever received. While speaking about enrollment, he turned to me and said, "Look at this beautiful sister. No one can say no to her!" I blushed and smiled. He then said, "Look at that smile. No one can resist you." I was so touched!
An Apostle of the Lord thinks that I am a catch! I didn't get to shake his hand, but I did receive a wonderful compliment, and needed lesson too that I would take any day. :D
