Well, I guess it's been a while since I updated my blog, hasn't it? Let's see... Where to start... I finally did get my stinking schedule all figured out. The only thing still missing is a job, which a guy should be calling me any day about. I have a pretty easy schedule, even if it does start early every day. I have a class at 8:00 every day, but I'm done by 10:00 except for Monday and Wednesday when I have the 2nd half of Book of Mormon at 1:00. I have an awesome teacher, Brother Bartholomew, and I found out the first day that some of my best friends are in the class too! Josh and Christie Foster, Kristen Foster and Christie's sister are all in there. It's tons of fun. Other than that, I have History 201, Honors 150 (same as English 150 except it's honors) and I'm on the 9:00 Folk Dance Team! My English class is actually a lot of fun. I had to retake English because I failed it a year ago when I just quit trying (bad semesters are NOT good for your GPA), and my friends in Nanjing last semester said that the Honors class is tons better, so I figured I would go with the Honors class. I have a really amazing teacher and it's a pretty small class. It is going to be a lot of writing and work, but I only have 9 credits this semester and I think I'm actually going to enjoy the writing, which always makes a difference. Oh, by the way Nanc, when you come to BYU in a few years, you have to take Honors 150 from this same teacher, you would love it! Besides, you'll probably be in the honors program anyway.
So the folk dance team... The first week of school I ran into some friends from back home who were trying out for folk dance and they told me I should try out as well. I figured, sure, why not? I love dance and I'm not in any dance classes this semester. So I went to tryouts and I realized that pretty much any guy that went to tryouts made it onto one of the teams. I've done dance before, but folk dance is totally different from social dance. It's still tons of fun though. Although, it is a wee bit more of a work out, which I'm ok with. We are learning all sorts of fun daces and at the end of the semester, we are going to have a performance that we get to be a part of. For that performance, we are going to be doing a Russian dance, and I'm really excited. We had an opening social for folk dance Wednesday night and it was tons of fun.
Well, I know that there's a ton of other things going on, but I'll write more about them later. Perhaps I'll actually get into a habit of posting on here, but I wouldn't get your hopes up :-).

"pretty much any guy that went to tryouts made it onto one of the teams." <--I'm pretty sure that is standard procedure for ANY dance team.
Er...I just realized that my comment sounded like I was saying guys don't have any skill... That's not what I meant. I meant that at every dance tryout I've been to, I've resented that guys always seem to get a free ticket in, merely for being guys and being willing to dance. That's all. :) YOU are VERY skilled dancer.
Do you know Brother Bartholomew's first name? actually come to think of it if it was the same guy I'm thinking of I wouldnt know his first name either. When I went to EFY at Idaho we had a Bro. Bartholomew as our session director and he was awesome! and he said awesome all the time too.
congrats on the dance team, that will be tons fo fun...as usual. :)
Ya, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was the same guy. He's always very excited to teach and if anyone walks into class late, he stops what he's saying and says their name and that he's so excited that they could make it to class. It's really funny.
It was fun to see you at Terri's last week-end. Julie felt really bad that you didn't get breakfast befor you left.
Thank you for sharing.
I sometimes copy updates and send them to Jacob. He said I was brilliant, you know I never hear that especially from him.
He loves to hear about all the cousin news.
Good luck and have fun.
