first week of classes.


So! I had my first week of classes. Well actually not technically... only 3 days.. but it's friday so it's the end of the week. WELL THEY HAVE BEEN STRESSFUL. i mean good. but stressful! so wednesday happened, and i went to all my classes and they were fine. I had religion and english. i have the best religion teacher ever. he has such a sweet spirit to him and i think he'll be really good. then english. omg. english. will. be. the. death. of me. so hahah first day of class... my cell phone goes off. AWKWARD. i was like oops. i am so sorry. but yeah i dont know... there is just SO much stuff we need to do and blah its overwhelming. and like for essays we have to use MLA format or something... i have no clue what that even is. freak. i dont know. hopefully its alright. there's only like 25 kids in it though so that's good. then okay. then my academic advisor enrolled me into a math class that i didn't have to be in... and i was ticked because i had to figure that out on my own... 2 DAYS BEFORE THE DEADLINE CAME TO SCHEDULE CHANGES. frick. like if you got a 22 or higher on the math section of your ACT then the math classes i were taking got waived. you know what i mean? so anyway i read that on the GE paper for BYU-H and i was like... i should look into that (because i hated that math class after the first day and my instructor was nuts)... so low and behold i got a high enough score on my ACT.... so... i go to the academic office (which is SO busy because there has been problem with tons of people's classes just suddenly dropping by themselves.. that happened to me too) so anyway. she is all like. "oh thats weird. well yeah you can drop it." so then i drop my math class BUT THEN i don't have enough credit...... but... the only other GE i could add to my schedule was astronomy... and astronomy was at 3:40-4:40 .... and that was the time that my psyc class was.... but the school accepted 400 more students then they had room for... so of course ALL the classes are FULL. so i had to switch my psyc class to 12:10-1:10... but that class was full! so basically i was SOL. SO what i had to do was run over to some small weird building... find the psyc professor and ask for permission to be added into his 12:10 class.. and the class was already 2 people over its limit. so i had to run across campus to find him, and when i got there i was basically in tears haha and so he added me. then i tried to add classes but then i had a hold on my account because i had to go pay for my bed sheets that i bought the first day i got here. so then i had to run BACK to the financial office and pay that then go back and wait in line for the acadmic people then i was racing against time because the astronomy class had been booked for like so long but then there were 2 spots open. and lots of people had been trying to get into it. so finally i got my paper signed and by the time that was done there was only 1 spot left in astronomy. AND I GOT IT. thank goodness. so yeah ANYWAY i honestly had been running around campus for like 3 hours straight. im not kidding by the end of it i had mud all up my legs and stuff. it was ridiculous. so anyway. it worked out and my schedule totally changed. now i have:

so it's alright. it works out good. it's just everything is so overwhelming... i never thought i'd say it... but... i miss high school! ha. like you don't realize it but they baby you so much! here its like SO much work for EACH class and its like they don't remind you about any due dates you just have to be on top of everything so much and remember everything yourself and to balance all those classes/due dates is insane. like there is so much work. i just. blah. and to keep up in class is crazy so much reading so much to write down MY GOODNESS i hope i dont flunk out. i feel so stressed i want to cry. but. hopefully i pass. i dont know. we'll see. but after the crazy day on thursday me and tiffany went to temple beach and just cooled off and chilled on the beach. it was awesome. the ocean was warm and it was just a good time to chill. i liked it. then today i just had english and astronomy. astronomy is super interesting just the instructor talks so fast holy. but its really interesting and im in it with rachel.. a girl from my hale so thats good, we can study together and stuff! and i'm in english with mary.. so we can struggle through it together. haha. but yeah. thats bascially the updates for now. things are just nuts. and we are suppose to be at some dance hahaha but we're all on our computers. but its like 9:20 and i have to be up by 5:30 tomorrow because there is some circle island tour tomorrow that me and mary are going to and the bus is leaving at like 7 or 7:30 am . like. that is so early. then we are gone til like 7 pm that night. so its ALL day. its crazy. then i know im gonna be tired when we get home ha then i have all the homework. my gosh. OH and there's so many rules here its kinda weird getting use to. i mean i understand rules but these seem unnessacary and it makes me angry at times. lol. oh well. whatevs. but like for serious we had this hale meeting one night and for an hour they just talked to us about rules. and since i've been here they've been talking about rules. FREAK! oh wellllllllllllll. oh and its funny. you do something wrong and they fine you. tahahahaha. classic. oh well i better just not mess up. i've already gotten in trouble twice for the dress code. oooooops. but thats the update. but i love my hale buddies. mary, rachel, aroha, abish, lauren, saydi, haley.. they're all super chill and we're pretty tight. haha me and rach like all the same shows so we've been watching the bacheolor pad and vampire diaries on my laptop... :) so yeah. it's good. miss little things about home though. anyways. thats that.
