I don't really have words for how life's been lately. I don't have a whole lot to report, I mean. It's just been awhile.
I changed my major, but it's not a whole lot different from before. It was Recreation Resource Management, which is land and recreation management type stuff (just as the title says... you'd be surprised how many people don't catch on) and now it's Environmental Studies with a communications emphasis. I'm pretty excited about it.
I was called to be a relief society teacher (same calling as last year, apparently I still have some things to learn) and did my first lesson last Sunday. It went pretty well, I think. I generally enjoy teaching no matter what, although I think I'd take 300 boy scouts over 20 of my peers any day.
I'm doing really well in school. I'm fairly certain I have A's in all of my classes, including the upper-level classes that I was completely freaked out about at the beginning of the semester. They still freak me out, for the record, but somehow I'm getting by.
I'm still struggling with the whole "why am I in Utah" thing-- the only difference is that now I know that I'm not leaving, which is both comforting and depressing. Nothing against the people that I love here, I just miss my home and family and I have yet to feel at home here. I'm working on it.
I've been doing some art to get me through it, though. It feels good to have my art hanging on a wall, even if it's just my own bedroom wall. Feels like I've actually accomplished something.
Pardon my less-than-awesome photography skills. Just thought I'd throw em up. The mod podge on the bottom one wasn't exactly dry yet, so that's why it's extra shiny. Oh I also did this bad boy below. Was taken with the webcam so don't judge it too harshly. The words say, "This seemed to me to indicate the final breakdown of our curious fear of being alone in the dusk or dark. You see danger everywhere." The words were taken from random lines of a book that I dismantled. That's also what the backgrounds to the two pieces above are from.
Here is said dismantled book. It is now a "secret" box where I keep my iPod, extra keys, etc.
Tonight is registration for spring semester so I am forced to stay up until my normal bedtime on the only night for probably my whole college career that I would have gladly gone to bed at 9. Well. I believe that is all I have to report. Peace out.
