Three weeks left!!

This first year of college has definitely been a learning experience, not only scholastically but also in life lessons. The year started quite peachy. I was free and had easy classes with very little homework which allowed for me to enjoy the fun things in college. There have been many movies watch, nights slept on Kim's couch, laughs shared, and activities accomplished. In the Fall we went hiking, and rode bikes everywhere then in the Winter we went sledding at Happyjack and went to the hot springs in Saratoga. I was able to go home for Christmas break which was very enjoyable and relaxing. Soon after break second semester started and with it came mounds of homework, a beater car, and a job. Needless to say I have learned many more life lessons this semester than the previous. From my car I have learned responsibility, independence, and that insurance is good to have. My job has taught me patience and the worth souls as I have been a bus aide for the local school district. With this semester came a heap of stress that I have had to learn to cope with. I have also experienced the disappointment of not always getting things right the first time. However, through it all I have gained lasting friendship and a greater testimony of God's plan for his children. Even though I don't always know why things are happening to me I know that one person does. I feel blessed to have this experience of college and I look forward to the years ahead. Thank you to all who have helped me in this new adventure down this new road of life. :)
