School, Work, Church, Social, etc., etc., etc

So it's been a while, but I have honestly been meaning to post for a long while now. As most of you know, college life is super busy! As I have now found out...

So I'll start back on Sep. 3rd when I had my first day of college classes. If I haven't already said, I am taking 12 credits, 5 classes. I have Book of Mormon 121A, Anthropology 101, American Heritage, Biology 100 and University 101 (aka Freshman Seminar). The only day that I have all these classes is Wednesday...which is what Sep. 3rd happened to be. So my first day of college classes was, of course, my busiest day of the week. Anywho. I am thoroghly enjoying all of my classes...for the most part. Today marks my 4th week of college. Seriously, thats crazy! This semseter is going to fly by so fast! I have two mid-terms on Monday, then another mid-term the following week. I have a research proposal and outline due tomorrow for my Biology class and I have lots of community service that I need to do! As for community service, I have to do 8 hours for Biology, 10 for American Heritage, and 2 for University 101. So for Biology I am going with my professor and 14 other students to St. George on October 7-10 to help out with the Senior World Games. We will be doing things such as taking blood pressure, testing glucose levels, testing for osteoperosis, BMI indexing, and testing for glaucoma (spelling?). So I'm super excited! I have always wanted to be a nurse or doctor, but there is just too much schooling for me, so this is really like the short cut way I guess to at least get to perform some of the functions that a nurse would do. So yeah. For American Heritage I am working with a company called ConSource. What they do is transcribe all the Founding documents and put them online for people to use. So I think I will be proofreading the papers. Needless to say I'm super busy!!! Or will be =] I think that's all about school =]

Work: Work has been super busy. At least the last two weeks were. I was working late and coming in early...needless to say I wasn't particularly thrilled. Anywho. I think it was just because we had two home football games in a row, which made for lots of busy days. This week has been much better. So hopefully it will stay not too busy, otherwise I might have to quit just because it is taking too much of my homework/study time out.

Church: So church has been going well. I got a calling! I am in charge of making the programs/bulletins for Sunday! Its one of the most perfect callings ever! Its much better than teaching =] Which is what my roomate does =] I've continued going to tunnel singing, but a lot of the time people just like to talk, so it's kind of annoying. Oh well. Its still really neat.

So other then those, not much else has been going on. There have been things to do every weekend...namely dances. So me and a bunch of friends have gone to those every weekend.

Oh! And I went to my first BYU football game on Saturday! That was exciting...sort of. We won, which is always good, but we won 44-0...which made for kind of a boring game. I have one pictures...but its still on my camera. But when I get it on my computer I'll post it for everyone to see! It also snowed again on the mountains on Monday, but it only lasted an hour...but I know there will be plenty more to come =]

Hope everyone is doing great!!!!!

More Random Connections!

Ok, so I have a lot to post about, and I'm planning on posting tomorrow after work.

But I did need to post this before I forget! Not that I will.

So as most of you know, I'm in Freshman Academy, and with that, I have a peer mentor. Her name is Mollie Dickerson, and she is from Conneticut. So we all have to meet with our peer mentors to get to know them, and so they can get to know us. So we have been talking for close to 30 minutes when she finally says "So your last name is Busath right?" And I'm like yeah, and props for saying it correctly, because no one ever does (though one of my professors and a TA have said it right because apparently there is a Prof. Busath at BYU). And she was like, yeah, I was asking because my sister got married this summer. So I'm expecting her to say that they used Busath Photography...but instead she says "And she married a Busath" and I was like....what?! So I ask what his name is, and it turns out it is Chad Busath, son of Rick and L-J Busath, who helped me out a lot with one of my projects 2 years ago! I was in complete shock!!! I told her, no way! I totally "know" Chad (though I don't ever recall meeting him, were good Facebook friends" and I was just in complete shock. So it turns out that I am distantly related to my peer mentor by marriage (its her twin sister who married Chad). So anyway, that was more random discoveries that I have found at BYU!

I promise to write all about my first week of classes and what else is going on!!!!

Current Weather in Utah

So as most of you can figure out, today is September 1st. So last night I mentioned how it was raining and cold. And I didn't think more than that. Well I wake up this morning and guess what, it's still raining, a lot, and its about 50 degrees outside. Yes. 50 degrees F. And its September 1st. And guess what is on the mountains. SNOW! Yes friends. Snow on the mountain in September! I was so excited! I got to wear my comfy warm boots and my sweatshirt and everything. And there was still a little bit of it left tonight, but it's mostly gone. And it is supposed to be hot again by Friday. Shucks.




Here is a picture I stole from my friend Alex as well.

There you have it folks. Snow on the mountains. And quite a "bit" of it too!
You guys are also going to figure out that I am going to post more because I get to talk all about me!
I know. I'm so self centered =]
Yay for no classes tomorrow! And hopefully it will still be cold!
