back in blue

before i start the section of this post i like to call "reasons i am glad to be back at BYU," i will give you a quick recap on our new york vacay and cross-country drive.

sorry for the overdose of sisters-in-a-row-hands-on-the-hips pics... we need to come up with some original poses. anyway, i didn't take as many photos in new york as i should have but we had a really fun week. we saw a whopping FOUR broadway shows!

we had bought tickets to wicked and how to succeed in business without really trying way in advance, but my dad spontaneously bought tickets to the musicals catch me if you can and spiderman during the week we were there. wicked blew my mind and rocked my world. i had been dying to see it ever since it came out when i was in seventh grade and it was everything i'd hoped and dreamed of and more. plus our fiyero was quite good-looking. then we saw how to succeed which also blew me away! daniel radcliffe really was amazing. often when they put a big name in a broadway show the other actors kind of dance around them but daniel really held his own. he was so so great and his singing and dancing were really so impressive. he's only there until december so if you have the chance, see it, see it, see it! the actors in catch me if you can were so great and i was actually really impressed with the flying around involved in spiderman. we also spent our fair share of time eating in restaurants, visiting museums, and just exploring. it was a fun week.

then catherine, liz, and i embarked on our cross-country journey. besides every single inch of our tiny car being absolutely packed, it was not so bad.

we drove for four days and ended up driving straight through the last day so we could get in provo one day earlier. on our way we spent a night at our friend kinard's house near indianapolis and our other indy friend, chloe, came over to her house for the night too! we hung out, ate graeter's ice cream [which you should definitely try if you're ever in the midwest], watched jane eyre AND something borrowed, and crashed in the basement. it was just like old times.

we are back in provo and back in school! i am so excited. we had a little bit of a rough start with our apartment [it was not clean when we came to move in—gross!] but we got everything all taken care of with management and we are really liking bountiful courts so far. so here it is...

reasons i am glad to be back at BYU:

1. i share a room with these two lovely ladies. and i have three new roommates i'm liking a lot.

2. i love walking around campus and seeing someone i know every time i turn around.

3. i'm in an all sports pass group with my friends from last year and i can't wait for football to start.

4. is it weird that i love grocery shopping? and i really love cooking and baking.

5. i love my classes so far. and tuesdays, thursdays, and fridays i get done class at 11 a.m. awesomeee 

6. i'm officially changing my major this week to art history!

7. because of said major change, i am also taking french! i have always wanted to learn french.

8. i could come up with lots more but i have homework to attend to, so bonsoir!

also, things i do not love = the job hunt. but i'm working on it.

anyway, it's good to be back.
