. . . I guess I'm gunna have to document. Lots of people are pretty stoked about me comin' to BYU (but not as stoked as me, just need to clear that up) and they want to hear "all about it". So I've made a blog (cause I guess that's what people are doin' these days) so that you guys can stay in the know.
First off, BYU is legit. As in the coolest thing ever. I'm pretty sure I was born to do this whole college thing cause I love everything about it! I love my schedule, the fast pace, the awesome people, the itty-bitty dorm room that I get to live in, the bad cafeteria food, the sporting events, and on and on and on. It's such an amazing atmosphere to be in 24/7, like how we say a prayer before every class . . . whoa. That was crazy on the first day! I was like "Really? We do that?" Yea. We do that. We also pray before every meal, every football game, every choir concert, and every lecture. Everyone is so . . . Mormon! I haven't heard a cuss word in almost 3 weeks, which is a record FOR SURE! I didn't really realize the difference these habits make in the atmosphere of school, but now that I'm almost adjusted I realize that they have EVERYTHING to do with it.
So classes, they're tough, but I like it. I'm taking Physical Science, Music 101, Writing 150, Trigonometry, Career Exploration, and Book of Mormon. I was dumb this semester and got 8am and 9am classes. I will NEVER make that mistake again! I thought "Well maybe I'll learn to be a morning person!" Psh, yea right! I wish! Sorry Mom, I've never been a joy in the morning, and I'm not starting now. I tried, but it was an epic F A I L .
I really like Music 101 and I've decided to go with the whole music vibe and chose Sound Recording Technology as my major for now instead of business. I have more fun with music, so I forgot about business. Right now the class is just a ton of vocab and listening to Medieval music, but I hear it gets better :)
In my Writing 150 class we are writing about food for the whole semester. It's 110% better than the other classes that are writing about economics and political rhetoric. YUCKY. So yea, I'm very happy that I have a good writing teacher that realizes that my papers will be better if I'm writing about something I relate to rather than something I couldn't care less about . . . like economics and political rhetoric (teehee).
Trig is trig. I'm doing it, but it's not my favorite.
My favorite class, by far, is Career Exploration! I was skeptical at first, but I think they should rename the class to reflect the focus a bit better: Self Exploration. I'm learning so much about what I'm good at, what I suck at, and why I am how I am. I love it! Right now we're focusing on learning who we are so that we can decide what we want for ourselves and what Heavenly Father wants for us. It's super fun and I never skip it! (hahaha =])
If any of the kids in my home ward EVER whine about how hard seminary is I will call them up and tell them about my Book of Mormon class. In a nutshell, it's seminary on serious steroids! WOW. I can't decide if I despise the class and how much work it is, or if I like being forced to read the Book of Mormon for a grade . . . I know which option I'm leaning toward . . . but I won't get into that right now =]
So yea, it's really kinda late here in Provo (for all you Washingtonians I'm an hour ahead), especially for this dummy that scheduled 8am Physical Science three days a week (gag.), so I'm gunna go to bed. MORE TO COME!
Love,
Austianna
