So...I took forever to post again because I redesigned the blog. It took me a while to do, and I may still make a few little changes. But that's whatever. And sorry for the dumb post title. It has just been a long semester, and yeah.

I feel like I'm drowning a little bit, but at the same time, I have never been better with my classes. I am taking: Printmaking, Graphic Design, DNA, Communications (Interpersonal and Public Speaking), and my religion class (Jesus Christ and the Everlasting Gospel). It's a lot, but it is so worth it. I once spent 15 hours in one week outside of class just working on one project for printmaking. And every Saturday from about 10:00 AM until midnight, I work on Graphic design (along with a few other hours during the week). That's just the start. On top of all that and the other homework that I have, I also work 20 hours a week developing online courses for BYU-Idaho. Honestly, it is pure luck when I have spare time during the week. I always leave my Sundays open though. I really need that time, and it has become even more valuable as my day of rest.
Anyway, beyond that the semester has been great! I have been blessed to have such great roommates! It has been so much fun to get to know all them. I honestly feel that I can always come home to a happy place, and that I can really trust these girls. From late night movie nights to fun photo shoots, I have loved spending time with them. And I'm not just saying this to be cute and sentimental, I really mean it.
Yeah, so as shown above, we all dressed like we were from the 90's for Halloween. Funny thing is, we were all born in the 90's. Most of my roommates were born in 1998, but Some of us were born earlier, like me. I was born in 1995, so I am "dyed in the blue" 90's. It was so fun to dress up like that!
Speaking of the 90's and when I was born, I just had my birthday since the last time I wrote. It was so fun because my mom and sisters came here to surprise me. I decided to stay at school over the summer to work, so I wasn't home for my birthday this year. Spending the weekend with them was so much fun!
I have been so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people! There is nothing better than filling your life with good influences. Something I have learned this semester as an art major at school, it is that we must constantly be learning new things, that we must surround ourselves with stimulus. I personally think that it would be so much better if the stimuli was good rather than trashy or immoral, so I am grateful to have such great people around me all the time. In the apartment or out, it is nice to know that I have people I can count on.
Yeah, it is pretty great. But, here's to more frequent posting, and to the best friends and family that anyone could ever ask for.
