happenings of late

Alright friends. I know it's been forever, but TONS has been going on.

Finals. I ended up with a B+ in Human Development, but looking back sometimes I feel like I probably don't deserve that, but other times I can't figure out how I didn't get an A. It was a crazy class and I hope I never have a grad student as a teacher ever again. Anatomy went wonderfully. I received an A- in the class, I was less than one percent away from an A, but whatevs. I can't believe fall semester starts in like two weeks... I still need to add another class.

New Calling. I am the new second counselor in the relief society in my YSA ward. I am a little nervous for it, but mostly super excited!!! I haven't really done much yet, except go to the monthly 7AM meeting with the stake last sunday:(.

Public Speaker. I spoke in church on sunday. My topic was virtue. Maybe I'll post my talk later or something because it was pretty good if I do say so myself. I spoke on my third official sunday in the ward. I was sustained into my calling on my second sunday, and I was called on my first sunday. I am getting really excited to be in this ward, and it has helped me realize that I'm where I'm supposed to be this semester(living in my parent's basement.)

Lagoon: I went with the family to Lagoon! It was so much fun! It was extra special because Nick's girlfriend came with us, and it was exciting to get to know her better. She was brave to be survive spending an entire day with us.

Bridesmaid!-One of my very best friends took the plunge last friday and I had the grand opportunity to be a bridesmaid!! It was a wonderful experience, and if I ever figure out how to get photos from my phone to my computer, I may post some... I loved spending the entire day with one of my other best friends. One downside was wearing heels for over eight hours, but we survived. Barely. (don't ever make bridesmaids wear black dresses in August)

Study Abroad!-I submitted my study abroad application less than ten minutes ago. Now it is just a waiting game. I wait to schedule my interview and then I will wait to find out if I'm accepted. I thought that I would feel relief right now, but I am feeling anxious and nervous because I have told so many people I'm going, it would be SO embarrassing if I wasn't accepted now.

Also, I have been working at the pool still, my most amazing cousin Elissa stayed with us for a week, my awesome cousin Amanda returned from D.C., I've started training to be the receptionist at the physical therapy office, and I have started and failed a couple of diets and exercise plans.
