Tis Thursday. Jonathan is settling in. Water heater is fixed up. Things are looking good. The good news of the week is that I got a grant for school next semester. I was NOT looking forward to tuition next semester (as if people look forward to tuition) mostly because I’m embarking on “the extra semester.” This past year was my senior year, and as a result of leaving Scranton, going on a mission, and then coming to BYU, I still have a few odds and ends to finish up. In other words, one extra semester of science, religion, and a few more philosophy requirements. I was a little miffed that I’d need to pick up an extra semester. All the same, I knew that my choice to go to England was the right one. And Ta-Da! The money is there for me. Amazing. Do what you’re meant to do, and things work out. Sometimes they work out last-minute like, but they always do. I don’t know why I worry.
I can’t believe it’s June tomorrow. That means two months and three days until the BIG day. It’s also means I’ve been home from England for over a year. Time flies very, very, very fast. Let’s do some highlights from the past year!
-May 2006 Got home from England. Spent summer with family working for Victoria’s Secret. Became obsessed with pancakes.
-August 2006 Moved to Provo. Living with Becca and Shelly. Experienced “The Single’s Ward” for the first time. Went to first/last YSA activity. Ended fascination with pancakes.
