New Semester

If I haven't already told any of you, I'm currently working on a second Bachelor's degree instead of a masters. (It's way less expensive.) I decided that a degree in Family Finance would be much easier to use, in the work place or otherwise. It's week two of the spring semester at USU. It feels like it's been a month really. I already have my first tests next week! It's crazy. I'm going to have to get used to the lower level classes again. It's weird.
I do have some really cool classes though. An FCHD class I have, Balancing Work and Family, is great. There are three teachers and the current one is so funny. His direct words are in our text book. (Because it was written by my professors.) So I'll start the readings and stop to make sure I haven't already read this chapter, when I realize it's something he said in class. :)
I'm also taking Institute Choir again. I love institute classes. You get to study the gospel in the subject matter that interests you. Not to mention the classes there are free, unlike the university. Anyway, choir is great this semester. We have our first concert this Sunday, and it is going to be amazing. We also get to sing at a fireside with Elder Ballard!! He'll be coming up to Logan in February. (They've even been having extra night practices from 8:30 to 10pm on Thursdays to get ready. I haven't gone because I've been too tired/lazy to.) 
Everything is still going well with Ian. Though I think we need some time to just talk. We do a lot of activities together, but i haven't had an intellectual conversation (not just swapping mission stories) for a month or so with him. It feels like something is lacking in our relationship and I think that might be it. I've told him we need to talk more. Hopefully it happens in the next day or so. :)

New Year - No Resolutions!

I've decided not to make any new year's resolutions. I've found that they never turn out anyway. I have, however, created a to do list. I have things I want to get accomplished and I've broken them into manageable steps. I'm going to put it on my wall or mirror, haven't decided which, then I'll be able to see what I still need to get done and work on it when I can.
I'm hoping that this will help me actually accomplish something this year. :) Wish me good luck!
