Institute!

I have the most awesome institute teachers at UVU! One of them has a "book of the day". Every day Brother Van Dyke will have another great LDS book to put on our "Must Read these Books" list. They are awesome! I finally got History of Joseph Smith by his Mother by Proctor/ Proctor Edition. I am so excited to read this with Tom! By the look of our schedules though, it might turn out to be a lonely read instead. We have no time to enjoy leisurely reading. I'll be glad once I'm done with school!

Too Much!

So I have a german class and an english class. These two classes give me the most homework of my many classes. I HAVE JUST BEEN SELECTED TO BE A SPEAKER ON A PANEL THAT WILL BE SPEAKING IN FRONT OF MAYBE A THIRD OF THE SCHOOL!!! Oh and I just passed my first test in German with flying colors! I don't know how many people pass the oral test without corrections but I did! I was so excited that I am doing to well. I think that this has become my new passion! ...Besides the Thomas's and dancing. I was trying to figure a way to go to Germany with the school's study abroad program but for me to go with Thomas would be about $10,000! I wanted to go but we would have to pull out about all of that from student loans. I just don't want to acrew that much debt over something that isn't that important. I'm really bummed but I know it is for the best!
