First Time to Idaho

Another few weeks have passed by in a hurry. It is hard to believe that it is Mid-November already. I drove past a house today with Christmas lights up already and it dawned on me that Christmas isn't too far away! That means I come home soon; less than a month!

I went to Idaho this weekend to visit a friend from Wisconsin, Jodi. She attends BYU-Idaho located in Rexburg, Idaho. We had a lot of fun. Rexburg is a place where you must find and/or create your own fun so we did pretty well at that. We played Ultimate Frisbee with a bunch of people, played at a park, went to a deserted barn, watched movies and had a scruptious, homemade Sunday dinner. Here are some pictures from the weekend. The first one is Jodi and I when we were walking around campus. The second one is some of Jodi's friends and I at the park Saturday night.

I discovered a few fun facts in my physics class last week. We had a "Microwave Day" where the students could bring anything to class and we would put it in a microwave and heat them up. So the highlights included a lightbulb and cheeto bag. If you put a lightbulb in the microwave, it lights up! It was really cool. A cheeto bag, when empty, starts on fire for a few seconds and then shrinks down majorly. I have included a picture of me holding the cheeto bag after my roommates and I did it outside our room. (In case the microwave exploded, we didn't want our apartment to catch on fire!) No worries, the microwave survived and it was super cool. The picture of me is bad; I wasn't looking so sorry!

And finally the other news of the week is I registered for next semester for classes. I am enrolled in 16 credits plus 4 credits of religion classes. My classes include: Statistics 2000, History 1110, Introduction to Parks and Recreation, Political Science 1100, Soccer, and Physical Science. For religion courses, I am taking Book of Mormon Part 2 and Family History. I only have one class on Tuesdays and have Thursdays completely off, which I am excited for!

Well, that is all the news for this week! I hope and pray that things are going great back inWisconsin! Less than 30 days and I will be home!
