This is just to say...

...that life in Provo is pretty sweet. My friend Katy P gave me a haircut which has basically changed every aspect of my life in the best possible way. It's short and just plain awesome. Sometime I'll take pictures and prove it to the world, but for now I'm lazy so you'll just have to take my word for it. Also today Becca and Kyle and I went to Savers, which is the greatest thrift store I have ever patronized. I got a sweet blue velvet blazer, which fits me more perfectly than I could ever have hoped for! I also made some purchases in the home decor section...I was going to describe them, but I think it will be best if I seriously bust out my camera some day. Mere words could not do them justice. Becca got somethings too, and also a shirt at Dillards which I just finished altering, with great success! Now it looks good on her body, rather than like a strange billowy smock. Phew.

Tomorrow is the first day of class! I feel pretty cool about it. It turns out that somehow I only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, even though I'm pretty positive that I planned on having a religion class at 10....but anyway, my one class is Creative Writing at 12. I used to be really worried about that class, but now I'm feeling pretty okay about it. Maybe it will be fun?

Something that SUCKS more than ANYTHING in life right now is that the stupid Honor code office (oh crap they'll find out I said that and expel me!) has a hold on my record because they haven't yet received my latest Eccelsiastical Endorsement from Bishop Leininger, and what that means is that I can't add or drop classes until they get it and clear me. So, the reason that that sucks so bad is that this mornin gI was jsut scopign ut classes and things and found that I could take a New testament class at 10 on Tues/Thurs, where I really want to have a class, and furthermore it's taught by Wilfred Griggs, who may not even be that great, but I just remember meeting him in Gramma and Grampa's kitchen after one of their Egypt excavations and hearing his name everywhere, so I thought ti would be cool to actually take a class form him. Anyway there was one spot left at the perfect time, and I was really excited to add it but then found that I couldn't. And that was frustrating. I checked back a couple minutes ago, and the one spot has been taken, so I'm stuck with Doc/Cov on Mon/Wed. Not like Doc/Cov is bad, (I'm just racking up smiting offenses!) I just am worried that mayb eI only like religion classes that are about the New Testament, because so far that is true! But I'm sure I'll live, and should stop tweaking out about it.

Oh gosh, I was going to be done, but then I remembered my other academic fiasco--I forgot to bring my cello to Utah! AGHHHH!!! WHAT GIVES? I seriously am still in shock that I could be so plain STUPID. The thought of it never crossed my mind at all, until the night I came in someone mentioned orchestra and I thought HOLY CRAP! So anyway, the plan now is to go to the Instrument Office and see if I can use one of the school cellos. I have no idea how that is managed, but hopefully it will work out? Somehow? And if not, then I guess I have to drop orchestra, which I think will make e really sad. I realized that Orchestra is the only thing I'm really a part of, in the 'team' sort of way. Everything else I do in school is pretty much done alone in a deserted corner of the library! Which is cool, but still, it's good to have group activities SOME of the time.
