Finally...

After a random facebook message from my good friend and room-mate Nathan, who demanded that I return to the blogging world, I have decided I finally have some peace and quiet to update everyone on how I am doing. Clearly it is not as fun as Kate's big news but I think it is exciting stuff all the same. Anyways, I love to write these things in elaborated bullet points and that is precisely what I am going to do.

1- Back to School, well I am back at school this semester and I am loving it! It has been one of the best semesters at BYU I have had. There have been a few glitches of course but nothing too terrible. One such was my bizarre desire to take Arabic. Well I registered for it, bought the books for it, and went to the first 2 weeks of class. I was good at it and I liked it but it required a lot more time then I could give and after some very wise and helpful words from my older bro. Travis, I dropped said class and picked up a History class that I really enjoy. So now I am taking a French class, a Political Science class, a Doctrine & Covenants class, and my two History classes.

2- Speaking of History...I think I have finally made up my mind about a major (I know right?) I have really, really loved my two history classes this semester and I am really quite good at them too. So, against my comfort zone alarm feelings I went to my professor and asked his advice. He was super helpful, had great info, and really got me to thinking. I have been letting this percolate since I talked to him on Tues. and will of course give it a bit more thought before I fill out paperwork but I think I have found my spot! Finally!

3-Go see the movie "The Young Victoria." Just do it. It's that good, but it might just be the history nerd in me...

4-We just got through mid-terms at school and I did rather well (particularly on the history exams, though not so well on D&C, he curved it so I did well, but it was hands down the most intense exam I have taken in college) So I do have a bit of a lull before another round of mid-terms comes. I suppose I will have to start writing one of those 3 term papers I have to write.

5- Work is the same as it ever was...

6- As for my continuous love of books, movies, and music...I haven't had much time for any of them frankly BUT I am currently reading La Place by Annie Ernaux which is a very good French novel, I recommended one movie but so so so many good ones are coming out you will get plenty soon. Music, listening to the standards lately. I have been OBSESSED with John Mayer's live CD "Where the Light is" just totally blissing me out.

7- Of course, the addition of Beckett to our ragtag crew of boys. I love it! He and Hamilton will be awesome brothers. I can't wait to see him and join into the fun. I have missed having Luke and Miles close. I forget how much cooler I am when I have been hanging out with them, Travis and Heidi too.

So, that is about everything I guess. School is hard but good and everything else seems to be working out in it's own time. Anyway, I won't lapse again, I promise. You may just get a posted picture of me looking pathetic in the library but I will post it!
