Goodbye Summer, Hello BYU

First day of BYU college life was a success! I only got mildly lost but i wouldn't even call it lost. My teachers seem great and so far I Think anthropology is going to my fav. Thank goodness for the shuttle. I would be like sweating up a storm if I had to walk clear to campus from my dorm. So yes it has been quite a while since I have posted (kyle this is for you) but what can i say, im a busy girl! so quick recap on my super exciting life. Left for utah at the end of july and made it safely. Spent the last month living with my grandparents, 2 weeks of which was without my family. Saying goodbye was soo hard so its a good thing I have lots of freaking amazing cousins to keep me occupied and we definitely have had a blast! I have done SO MANY things in the last week and spent so dang much money. My cousins and I have gone to "jump on it" a very fun trampoline place where I hurt my knee...nbd ha. we saw step up revolution..AMAZING movie. absolutely loved it. and we saw total recall. also very good. We went to Artic circle a few times because I love icecream. we drove to the top of a mountain and saw this amazing view of the little city at like midnight and then went to a park at 2am and saw some guy jogging. Who the HECK goes running at 2 in the morning?! we were a little creeped out. we went to a gymnastics place and I attempted a front handspring (didn't work like i had hoped), hiked the Y. went to lagoon amusement park.
jumped off a bridge into a river and I did crazy back flips with the guys. Heck Yes! and so yeah. We also went camping for like 3 days. Me camping, I know right?! and we climbed up and down the dang mountain SO many times playing this game. So then we were hiking right? and I hang out with the 15-17 year old boys because theyre just way fun... well they find this steep downhill slope and are all like "hey lets slide down the mountain right here" RIGHT...hah so of course hanging out with the boys I cant be a girly wimp so I follow. I mean, if they can do it, so can I... Im no wimp! I may have like 50 bruises from the last month but all from great times. I have absolutely loved being up here with my cousins and to be able to build these relationships with them. And school today like I mentioned was a success! I have met so many...interesting people. Attractive boy in bio though! It has been amazing to hear where everyone is from. Standard questions: What's your name? Where are you living? where are you from? and there are people from all over. Alaska, canada, south korea, central america, like Every where. More classes tomorrow. Can't wait for my contemporary dance class. NEVER taken a dance class in my life but I wish I could dance. Hopefully I don't make too much of a fool of myself. Well Thats my life:) OH! AND I CUT HAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME! my cousin is so brave. love him:)
