I've been back in my favorite place, Cedar City, for two weeks now and have officially begun my sophomore year. It's been interesting to say the least!
The first week I was here was the week before school started. I'm a Presidential Ambassador this year, so I had to come down early for the retreat. This was where I met a bunch of really great people that I will be working with, played lots of volleyball, and got vacuum sealed into a garbage bag.
I'm also working as a reporter for the University Journal, which means as soon as I got back from the retreat I had to rush to the newspaper office to begin Workshop Week. This was where I met more great people that I will be working with, played with Nerf guns, and learned how to write news stories.
That Saturday Marissa and I went to a cute parade down Main Street that consisted of little kids dragging wagons that they decorated to look like storybooks. We got snow cones and walked to an art display, went shopping, played soccer, and ended the day with my cousin's gorgeous wedding reception.
Sunday I drove back home to go to Cort's mission homecoming. It was almost surreal. I can't believe it has been two years!
This was also the day the last of my roommates finally moved in! My roommate is Katey, and we also have Marissa, Dylan, and Keiranne. I'm sure you remember them all from last year (except Katey, who is a freshman. She was in my ward at home).
Monday, school started! I must say, I'm not sure I was prepared for everything that was thrown at me at once. This week stressed me out and I realized I might have been a little too ambitious when I decided to take 18 credits, have a job, and do PAs. So I downgraded my class load and now everything is wonderful.
Welcome Week is one of the best weeks of college, in my opinion. This one included free food, casino night, a tailgate and movie, a mentalist, and a crazy dance party.

Overall, a pretty solid first week of school.
