Sept 2 2010

Today was slightly more eventful.

I got another job! Haha, my meeting at the Statesman turned out to be my first meeting, not an interview or a practice. So that is pretty cool. I will get a Press Badge and everything, so I will be as legit as I can get. I'm pretty excited about that. Who else do you know that has a Press Badge? No one. Now, you all do. :] I have two stories already, a Professor Profile and a review of a new restaurant. I'm a little bit nervous about them, my first interview is tomorrow, so we will see how it goes!

We had our very first DESA meeting tonight as well, and all went good. I'm excited about DESA this year, because since we started the new ASL club, our part will be focusing more on the professionalism versus the skills and learning ASL. It will be a really good experience for all of us to get our contacts out there in the real world, and have our names already known when we are going to look for jobs. I'm very excited about that.

My Humanities teacher is weird. Our textbook for the class, no joke, is the Bible. It is a new modern translation of the book that influenced Western civilization. Basically, he tries to not interpret the Bible, and confuses the heck out of all of us in the class. It's going to be difficult to pass I think. I hope that it goes alright though. I really need to get all A's, especially since I'm taking such a small amount of credits! I'm still waiting to hear back from the FCHD department about switching majors, so stayed tuned for news from that.

I'm looking forward to this weekend, we are going to go home. Troy's brother is coming up from Vegas, so we are going to spend Saturday with them, and then go down to St. George for Sunday and Monday with my family. We are excited. School is harder than I remember, and I feel like I never stop doing things. Which is scary, because it is the first week! Ah!

I'm still trying to register for Institute, we are going to try to take another class from Bro. Maughn. I'm excited. :] Troy is taking two Institute classes, the one with me (Latter-day Saint History) as well as a Seminary Teacher prep-type class. It will hopefully be really good for him, and he can get a feel for what Seminary teaching will be like, and see if that is really what he wants to do. It's a good step. :] Things are going well for both of us, so hopefully it continues through the semester, and is not just a beginners luck type of thing. (Even if we aren't really beginners, and it is just the beginning. Oh well.)

Side note, I'm going to be incredibly skinny in a few months. I have to hike all the way to school, plus I feel like I have not stopped running around at all. And, I eat on the go, and it's usually pretty healthy stuff. Plus, here is the kicker, I still haven't had any soda, unlike another weaker individual we all know. :]
