Fall Break

The highlight of the past week or so has been the wonderful snowfall here on campus. As you can see, it snowed a little and some of it even stayed overnight. I only got pictures when it was dark out. About three days later, the snow had melted and now the temperatures sit back up in the 60’s. Thank goodness! I went down to Salt Lake City on Friday for fall break. I went to Temple Square again and also met up with some girls from USU who live in the same building I do. Then that evening, I met up with some people from BYU and we went to Nightmare on 13th, a haunted house in Salt Lake. The big sign outside it says it is rated #1 in America. I didn’t scream but I jumped a few times. The scariest room was the chain-saw room. All the walls are padded in white and there is no sign saying “EXIT” so we didn’t know how to get out. The chain-saw man, who freaked me out the most, had to show us. There was another part that reminded me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Bellevue Hospital. It was an insane asylum and was sort of creepy. Every now and then people jumped out at you or things fell from the ceilings.
My roommates and I had a great excursion to Wal-Mart the other night. I received a gnome for my birthday from Sami Kordonowy, a friend from back home. We took the gnome with us to Wal-Mart and had some fun.

Gnomes are important to me because at the camp I work at, we go on gnome hikes and the children (most of them) believe that gnomes exist. It is great fun!
Homecoming is this week so there are a lot of interesting activities going on. The major events include the dance and the game this weekend, both of which I am going to. My friends convinced me to go to the dance so I might as well. Only about a month until Thanksgiving break, which is scary because then the semester is pretty much over by then. I am sad that I won’t be able to come home for Thanksgiving but less than two months and I will be home for Christmas break. We only have about seven weeks left of classes. Woo Hoo!
