all in a day.

Well, i don't really know what to say...so this might just be rambling.
School is going good. i really think i'll enjoy most of my classes, the only problem is i fall asleep easily...but i honestly am trying! We don't get tons of homework, just a lot of reading. And that is the other problem; i am a very slow reader....we'll see how it goes.
i am so glad to be rooming with Hilary! We get along so well, which i am very grateful for! She is an awesome girl and i definately am going to have to give her something spectacular for all the days she has to wake me up. ha ha ha.
i got a new calling...i'm the Visiting Teaching Coordinator. it should be interesting due to the fact that the only time i've been visiting teaching was when i went with my mom and grandma when i was like 3. ha ha ha. it will be good though...we got everyone assigned last night, so hopefully they work out!
So i am honestly loving my job. Not just because i can do homework most of the time, but i really love doing the office work. ha ha ha. i NEVER would have guessed! And guess what the coolest part is-there is a couch in the bathroom! ha ha ha. i mean i don't go sit on it during work, but it is nice when i'm early. i don't have enough time to go back to the dorms, but there is extra time after i eat lunch so today i had a nice little nap in the bathroom. ha ha ha.
The night scene here is pretty crazy. ha ha ha. Not really, but we never seem to sleep...i'm not sure what we really do most of the time. i suppose just usually talk. i absolutely love the neighbor girls!
i still miss my family and friends a lot and i just want them all to know how much i LOVE them! i think about you guys each and every day!
i also want to mention that it has been one year since my aunt passed away. it's tough, but i'm grateful for my Savior who gave the ultimate sacrifice that we might all live again. Thanks to everyone for support given to my family through this trial, you have honestly been a blessing in our lives!

i'm a huge quote person so here is the quote for the day:
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one likfe has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson


Sending my love!

That is pretty funny- I am also the VT coordinator for my ward! It's a challenging calling, but I've learned so much. It's especially interesting in our ward because the ward boundaries are about 10,000 sq miles, plus all the military families move in/out constantly. Anyway, good luck with it!
