Ain't nothin finer in the land, then the mighty Cougar Marching Band
Fall is here and with it a new semester and marching band! I spent the week before school marching and practicing 11 hours a day. I was swamped with new music and new ways to march, > but I survived band camp and lived to see our first home game, BYU vs UW. It was very nerve-breaking to march out onto a field surrounded by a packed stadium, but all went well and I didn't faint due to heat exhaustion, th ough it was quite hot and I was wearing a wool uniform. The band is quite exhilarating and I'm always meeting new people or learning new things. The new semester is also going well, I'm trying to keep up in all my classes as my homework time competes with my marching band time. My favorite class is Book of Mormon, I love discovering new insights when I read.
Y are we so awesome?
"It's all about the Climb" On Saturday July 31st Maren and I ventured up a mountain. We hiked the "Y" The sweat on our body doubled with every step we took. It was a very steep trail and also very brown and dry. It made me miss the green, damp forest lands of Anacortes . However we finally made it to the top, and the view was amazing, we could see miles and miles of Utah valley. Since we only have one more week of school, I feel like I can use our hike as a metaphor. College has been a climb, there have been intense curves and hills that I wasn't even ready for, like the testing center, and meeting millions of new people. However when I managed to overcome them and get to the top of the mountain the view was beautiful. I am so glad I came down to BYU this summer, and my experience has been priceless.
It's a Party at the BYU!
Hola friends! Beginning June 21st I have been attending Brigham Young University in Provo Utah. Currently majoring in Communications. I love BYU and everyone here. The best part of living in the hot dry desert commonly known as Utah, is that I get to see my non-Washington family at least every other day. It is so neat to be with them all the time, we go on crazy adventures and always create memories. The most recent activity I have participated in was, the worlds largest water balloon fight! We got free t-shirts and threw water balloons at everyone. Our clothes were drenched, but it's so hot here that the water soon evaporated off of our clothes and we were dry once again. My roommates are amazing and we always find time to laugh, and not do dishes. Maren and I do so much together that when we are apart we get worried about the other one and has to call them to make sure they are okay.
