And now! I will post about BYUI. My first day of school - can I say fish out of water? I cannot stress this phrase enough. I felt this every way possible. I'm in this ridiculously tiny town, absolutely dumped with snow. It suddenly appears to be 1850. I'm in school and have no idea what I'm doing. I felt like I literally looked like a fish out of water. Picture a guppy fish from the Pacific Ocean. This fish loves having fun and loves the sun and salt water. Now picture this guppy wearing snow boots and a backpack, walking around a snowy, University campus. A fish! Keep in mind it's a fish. That was me on the first day of school. But! By the second day of school that little fish owned the place.
I seriously love school. I love my classes. I love learning. I'm so lucky to be here.
I lucked out with awesome roommates. Seriously. I'll introduce them later.
My classes are... Math, Book of Mormon, Art, American Foundations, French and Fashion Merchandising. I stay really busy with all of them.
I love school.
I don't necessarily love Rexburg. I miss the desert. I miss the coast. I miss the warmth. I don't hate it here, but I would prefer to live elsewhere. I just remind myself that this is temporary and that someday I'll miss it.
Love school. Don't love Idaho. Glad to be here. :)
3 love notes:
Good post. Good point too. I loved school too, but was always SO glad to come back home after the day was done and be with you guys and mom and dad. One good thing about going to UNLV I guess. Everyone is going to love you and I know you are too busy for friends and stuff probably (which sucks) but I think you'll have a great time as it goes on.
Mom filled me in on the first semester info. You will have time for fun later, but just get killer grades this one and you'll pretty much be good to go! So gald you don't have to work + school! btw your description sounds like me in the mission during winter. Loved what I was doing. Glad to be there. Don't love that much snow. You will survive it too and love it for the period of time you'll be there. I sometimes miss putting on 12 layers before leaving the house. It was good times.
ummm hi. my name is austrie...i've passed you twice @ the crossroads & we need to hang out.
