Oh man I am horrible at updating this thing and I apologize to everyone that reads this or takes a look at it from time to time. Life is super busy with all of my classes, work, and spending as much time as possible with Emily. There has been a lot that has happened since school started, and I will do my best at recapping and putting up pictures. I feel bad about calling family and talking to them and letting them know what is going on in my life. I truly am sorry, it is not because I do not want to talk to my family it just has been so busy and hectic that I feel I have no time to do anything.
To start things off Emily and I got the All Sports Pass here at BYU, it means that we get to go to basically any sporting event for a flat fee that we payed in the beginning of August. We have gone to the FSU and CSU football games and the FSU game was very disappointing but the CSU game was exciting during the first quarter. We have had good seats for the most part for the games, they rotate every home football game so it is like Christmas every week when we find out where we are going to be sitting.
Emily's family came out for the CSU football game because it was family weekend and that was a lot of fun. We did not do a whole lot of studying which was nice. We went to a family dinner that was put on for the parents and the kids on Friday night and then on Saturday before the football game we went to a tailgate at the Hinckley Center. The weather was beautiful and amazing and everyone had a great time. Saturday morning we all went on a hike in Provo Canyon and it was so gorgeous I could not help myself in taking pictures.
Classes are going well, as most of you know I am taking German. I have always wanted to take German in high school but the teacher was not very good so I took French instead which was a big mistake looking back on it. German is fun because Emily is in 2nd year German so she helps me speak properly and with my grammar. What I find so hard is trying to learn grammar of another language when I do not understand or get English grammar ha ha. I am able to put together simple sentences and we are talking right now in the present tense so it is not too bad. Every 2 weeks we either have a quiz or a test and every 2 weeks we have a Rollenspiel, role play, with our professor. My teacher is cool he served his mission in Germany and our teacher is another student we do not actually get a professor teaching us till we hit the 300 level classes.
My other classes are going great I love my Doctrine and Covenants class I learn so much about that amazing set of scripture that I am going to treasure for a life-time. My math class is intense our teacher teaches us more on how to read a math book than actually lecturing us on how to do calculus. HEPE is going well, hard to get to class some days especially when it is pouring down rain at 8:00 am. Economics is going well, I have my first test on Tuesday and Wednesday and I am pretty nervous for it because my teacher is intense and I heard his tests are extremely hard so we will see how that goes. Next semester I am taking the next Calculus class, second half D&C, German 102, and a class with Emily and probably one more class.
Work is going well, I feel like I work so much but it is good because I need the money especially since I am saving for a ring ha ha. That is still weird to say some days, to think that I am actually going to be engaged soon, but I am excited for it though. That is about everything that is happening in my life and I am sorry again that I do not update this blog better I apologize and will do better I promise.
