I am definitely not a blogging pro like my amazing sisters so I have a lot to catch up on. Here is a summary of my college experience so far...Dates with hot fellas: Two performances and one comedy show at BYU, mini golfing (I won by 2 strokes), bowling (I won by 3 points), bonfire in the canyon, 2 movies, 80's theme homecoming dance, Christmas dance at the cannon center (gotta love that place!), group date with the XC team to get Malts, beach volleyball and swimming (that's when I received my very 1st first boot by the BYU campus ticking guys),couples dress up Halloween party, country swing dancing, long boarding, 7 peaks water park, rollerskating, and probably some other things that I can't remember at the moment.
Fun activities: Sleepover at Katie's condo in the mountains, Women's conference in Salt Lake with a group of gals, Ward trip to see the lights at temple square and watch the Joseph Smith movie, Somehow getting into club 24 (24 hour fitness) 5 times to swim laps and chill in the spa and steam room, 4 football games (yes, I was there for the U of U game), 3 volleyball games, 1 rugby game, 5 soccer games (for 3 of them my club teammates were playing against BYU), 1 basketball game (so far), 2 sauna parties with girls from my hall, 2 snowball fights, a massive game of fugitive, 2 trips to Vegas, laser tag, 4 trips to the mall, a hot chocolate social, 2 floating trips down the Provo River, tunnel singing, the freeze fest, twister and card games, and many, many other fun and exciting things.
Cross Country: According to my running log that each member has to keep, I have run EXACTLY 500 miles from coming to the Y in the middle of August through yesterday (There might be a couple other miles unaccounted for). I am now running 40 miles, doing 2 hill workouts, 2 sprinting workouts, 1 threshold run, two steeple chase workouts, and lifting weights twice....all per week. I guess that's what it takes to keep the freshman 15 off! I still absolutely love running here and I look forward to my workouts every day. As a team we've had 2 dessert parties, 1 bridal shower, 3 cereal parties, 1 Halloween party, 1 campfire devotional, 1 group date, a pre-thanksgiving dinner, 2 runs in the snow (THE funnest way to run), and other small group activities.Pranks: I'd tell you but then I could be held accountable in the court of BYU law. So ask me on the phone.
Other random tidbits of information: So far I've gotten 2 parking tickets, watched 3 people slip and fall on their bottoms, failed 3 tests that all curved to a C+, gotten sick zero times, nearly froze to death in the ice bath 65 million times, seen 8 accidents on the roads, fed 1 stray cat, and dressed up as a ninja and went around scaring girls in my hall 1 time.
To Sum it all up I'd like to say that I've had an amazing first semester here at BYU and I look forward to many more to come.
