Life... Fall Semester

This semester has been great. It has been an adjustment getting back into normal life after the relaxing days of summer. I have a full schedule, 3 jobs, Relief Society president stuff, a dinner group, friends, and kind of a social life.

For my graduate studies job, we had a barbecue that fed about 1,000 people. Luckily I have extra credit to my students to come and help... so we had enough volunteers! These are the few of hte graduate students from my ward! (Kelly, Nikki, me and Jared). We have also had a fall workshop and a council activity.

Ashleigh, my old roommate has been in the MTC. It has been fun to write her and hear about her life. She is now in Kennewick, Washington and has two companions!


September was a funny month. During BYU homecoming I went to Denver for the LASSO conference. Before I left I transported 6 bales of hay for our graduate student society (GSS) float!! It made a real mess in the car! One of my favorite fellow students just graduated, Kelly who is in the green shirt. It was fun to play with her at the conference. We decided to go to PhD programs together... since we like the same stuff: psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics!! We are both going to apply next year.

The highlight of October was probably Halloween! It was really fun to have Emily's dresses. It was fun to win the competition. And sometimes it is fun to be the center of attention!

Our friend, Jared, the one previously shown above had a really rough week last week. So, we decided to heartattack his room, make his bed, and put pictures of us on his ceiling!! He loved it....
