Well everyone, today is my very last first day of school. Wow! I can't believe it! (except if I go to grad school I suppose, but that is so far from my plans right now, so I'm not even going to consider it.)
Jake and I took our pictures this morning, I'll post those soon. And as per tradition, I'm going to make chocolate chip cookies tonight, since my mom always made me cookies the first day of school.
Starting my new BYU bucket list, which is things I want to do before I graduate.
1. Get a picture taken with Cosmo!
2. Ask a question on the 100 hour Board. Check! It wasn't a very exciting one, but it counts! Question #68631
(I haven't thought of anything else yet, but I'll add to this as I go!)
I've loved my classes so far this morning and it has really validated my career choice. (btw, for a great representation of "validation" watch this video: Youtube validation video) I can't wait to get out there and start editing! The other fun thing I'm going to do this semester is to volunteer with a student journal. I've picked Schwa, which is the English Language journal. I thought that would be up my alley and they usually don't get a whole lot of volunteers so I should get a lot of experience. It should be a great way to boost my resume.
Other than that Jake and I are keeping our current jobs, spoiling our cat, and working at our new callings: I'm the assistant RS secretary and Jake just got called as the moving coordinator.
I've also started chronicling my weight loss journey which hopefully will end happily. You can follow along at Capricious, which is my other blog. I started on Friday August 3, any posts before that were just my regular blog. I'm not doing a crazy diet or starting some new marathon training or anything, just keeping track of myself and hoping to stay motivated. I feel a little anxious about putting something I've always kept so private out in the open like that, but maybe the more open I am, the less ashamed I will be. I'm certainly not perfect, and I've got a long way to go, but if you want to join me or cheer me along, I'd love you have you involved.
Well, I'll try to be better about posting on here, that way I can send the links to this blog to my great-grandchildren as family history some day right? lol.
