Back to School...YUCK!!!

So Classes have officially begun and I miss summer!!! I really wish that I had a couple more weeks to just do nothing. Oh well life does not work out that way! This semester includes History, Psychology, Sociology, Secondary Education, and Special Education. Total that is 15 credits, and I have NEVER taken that many before! Hopefully I can pass them all! (sociology is my enemy right now!) I can already tell there will not be much time for a social life! :( Tuition- $2400ish, Books- $420ish A good education that will pay off in the long run =PRICELESS!!! (lets hope anyways!)

The first week of classes is known as Welcome Week. I have already been to the Meet Your Religious Leaders event. I already know who they are, but there was free food and hey a night that i do not have to cook is awesome! Also i got a free water bottle which is awesome too!

So homework has officially taken over my life! Ugh I am afraid that I wont get a social life this semester! I have friends in most of my classes, which will be a life saver come test time! Can anyone say Study Party? The only class that I do not know anyone in is my Sociology class, but we will not be having tests in there...just A
wful AWFUL PAPERS!!! But I have made new friends in my classes (which is always a good thing!) and I am getting to know some others better! I find myself being in classes with a lot of the same people. Hopefully I can survive this semester!

Oh and as a side note, I always knew it was a small world but lately I have found out how small it actually is! Either that or the universe is trying to play a bad joke on me!!!

Goodbye Summer...See You Next Year!


Summer has basically come to an end! SAD DAY!!! It has been an epic summer!!! I really do not want school to start, well its mostly the homework part of it that is going to suck. I am hoping that I will still have a really fun social life. The last little bit of summer we have done so many things! We went to Spencer and Jamie's wedding reception, which was way fun! I still can not believe that Spencer is married! Other fun things have included:
  • Random nights in the Hot Tub!
  • Many Many Movie Nights!
  • Sheep Tunnels
  • Cardboard Box Sledding (that one did not work out to well, but it was fun trying!)
  • Playing Office Clue (I totally won it!)
  • Late night girl talks
  • Waxing Jenny and Jody
  • Trying to avoid annoying people, but hanging out with them at the end of the night anyways because there was nothing better to do...
  • Pulling Pranks
There is more stuff but I can not think of anything else at the moment. I am going to miss so much about this summer! I have had the greatest friends anyone could ask for and we have made so many good memories!

Summer Fun!!!


So this summer has been such a blast! I actually thought it would be boring because for half of the summer i lived by myself! After i got use to how quiet was I was just fine. There are actually a lot of good things about living by yourself.
  • If the kitchen is a mess, I can only get mad at myself.
  • I can do my laundry whenever I want, I swear my roommates and I always run out of clean underwear at the same time!
  • I can be as noisy as I want to be and not have to worry about keeping anyone up at night! (well besides my neighbors)
  • There is no one being noisy at night to keep me up when I want to go to bed! (well besides my neighbors...but they are pretty quiet!)
  • I can watch T.V. in the living room anytime, and I watch whatever I want!
However it can get a little lonely sometimes! Whenever I get lonely I have the most amazing friends anyone could ever ask for! I have hung out with the "Old Roomies" a lot this summer. They are the best! I have also made many new friends, which is always a good thing! Danielle is my next door neighbor and we have so much fun together! (its also really fun to share a name with her!) By hanging out with Danielle I met Jenny! She is always surprising me with something she will say or do or want to do! I am just so sad that she is going to go to STUPID USU!!! (yes that is right Jenny I did call it STUPID!!!) Jenny introduced us to Annie, Jody, and a few other people who have all been so much fun to hang out with! Some of the fun things that we have done this summer are,
  • Movie Night
  • Going to FHE (Family Home Evening)
  • Frisby
  • Pranks! (but for some reason we always get caught!)
  • She-Hawing
  • Roasting Marshmallows
  • Making dinner
  • Doing random things
  • Decorating my apartment
  • Getting Frozen Yogurt
  • Watching the Bachelorette every Monday night.
  • Random trips to Wal Mart
Those are just a few a the fun things that we have done this summer! I will be so sad when summer ends and I have to go back to school!
One thing that has been very weird this summer is that for some odd reason everyone and their dogs have wanted to set me up with some guy! Everyone from my co-workers to my friends have told me about some guy! I think if my family starts up with it I might just run away!!! My friends decided that they all want to find a guy for me...don't get me wrong I like guys but its a little crazy!
So that is a little of what has gone on this summer. Hopefully I will start remember more things that happened! I am so sad that summer is coming to an end, I am just not ready for school to start again!

A Little About ME!


So just like everyone, I was not going to get a blog...well so much for that! I hope I can figure this out! My name is Danielle, but everyone calls me Dani. I am attending Southern Utah University in Cedar City Utah. I love it here! I work as a florist/delivery driver at Zion Sun Floral. It is a really fun job to have! Hopefully someday I will be able to graduate from college and become a teacher. I want to teach high school history and geography...well I think I do anyways. I think if I changed my major at this late in the game my mother would kill me! I am obsessed with anything pink! It is my favorite color, and I do get made fun of since basically everything i own is pink! Both of my rooms (the one at my parents house, and the one in my apartment) have pink glows coming from them! It is not totally my fault that everything is pink. Whenever someone gives me something it is always pink!
