Its friday. YESSSSS! We survived America!! Another week done and gone! Speaking of which, I have been going to school at BYU-I for 1 month today! Crazy! Time has flown it seems looking back on the past four weeks. I only have 10 more weeks of this semester! AHHHH!!! Granted, that is a long time, but if they go by as fast as the last month, I won't complain.
Things have settled nicely, I have a routine and I'm good at keeping routine. Ive been spending almost 2 hours daily in a practice room trying to learn pieces to test out of my piano class next week. Piano is so much fun when you have the liberty to do what you want with your fingers. Truly, I wish that fingering wasn't such a big deal. I would pass that class in a heartbeat if I could play it however I wanted to. So if you wouldn't mind adding me to your prayers next wednesday, that would be very much appreciated. I really need to pass this test in order to be out of here in the next two years. If I don't pass, it adds another semester that I have to be here.
Along with this class that I am trying to test out, I also have my theory class that I am going to be taking the test out exam on monday. Im a little nervous for it considering that the mock exam I got 3 point under what you need to pass. Ive been studying to hopefully improve that score because I really don't think I could handle being in that class any longer. I think I would be miserable.
Its so crazy that I am almost done with all of this stuff that I have been working to test out of. I really would feel much better about myself and this semester if I test out of both.
Other awesome things that are happening is my mom and my grandma are coming up in just 19 days!!! I can't even begin to express how excited I am for them to be up here with me for a few days! Also, Ciera sent me a letter from home yesterday and it made my whole night. I miss that cute little sister that I have. This is now a plug to put my address in because I love getting letters and packages :P 140 West 2nd South Apt. 4 Rexburg, Idaho 83440. :)
Alaina and I had our first dance social of the semester and it was... an experience in itself. I think our class might be a little bit more ahead then the other classes that take social dance 1. I love the swing so much and Im planning on teaching it to some people when I get back home. :)
The snow never seems to stop here. It was snowing so hard here last night. It snowed about a foot and then its been trying to snow all morning. I can't wait for spring to come.
I'm finally making friends....YAYA!!!!
Next weekend two of my room mates including Alaina will be gone... What am I gunna do??! I think next weekend will be a little lonely. :P
Well thats all that has been going on with my life. I'm busier than ever! Hope you all have a wonderful week!
Happy Singing!

So glad things are looking good today, and I am very jealous of the snow! It will be a great adventure coming down to BYU-I and I'm excited to hear you sing! Best of luck on your testing out. Here's another motto--prepare for the worst and hope for the best! Love you!
