So.... end of summer. I finished up working at Trefoil Ranch, and epicly amazing summer camp. I was the Arts and Crafts Director which was fun and definitely a new change for me. I met a whole bunch of really cool people (you know who you are) who all (well most of them) happen to go to USU with me. (though I haven't seen a whole lot of you, what's up with that??) It was a great summer, I got to spend half of it in Colorado working at one camp and the other half in Utah, working at another camp. It was sad about the fires in Colorado, and I am glad they are out. But, yes... good times. below was the Disney Princess All Camp we had (which was so much fun)
All right, so moving on, I've been back at USU (GO AGGIES). This is my third year at USU, so I'm officially a Junior, crazy huh? I'm still doing a Special Ed major, which as it turns out, is super duper hard. Hence why I have been too busy to post in this blog. I teach a reading group in the mornings, and have classes in the afternoon's/evenings. I usually have about 2ish hours of homework from each class. Sometimes one, which is really nice. Most of my homework is reading. A lot of reading and then answering questions about the readings. So not too hard, just super time-consuming. The hard part comes in all the stuff you have to do and learn at once. There's so much information to take in and it's overwhelming at times. If you think being a teacher is a walk in the park, you're wrong. It's more like a 10 mile uphill hike (good think I like hiking). I just get so exhausted... so, hopefully things work out. I love it, it's just crazy anyway. lucky I still have time to have fun. Here's Big Blue at one of the Aggie games I went to :D
All right. So now on to the fun things. I still go to football games (and basketball, once they start). I still hang out with friends, watch movies and dance. In fact, this year I'm President of the USU Big Band Swing Club. Which is work, but fun and I'm still trying to figure out how to do it all. But hey... I get some social activity in my schedule. I've gone to 2 of the Aggie Games, here at home. One was the UTE v Aggie game. (We won!!!) The other was the Homecoming UNLV v Aggie game (we won then too!!). Great times. I love it. Our student body really is the best.
Getting on to more recent events. Homecoming was last week, which was a mass amount of fun, chaos and stress. It's hard making sure everything is going right with your school work while you have a club to get to participate in Homecoming. But it happened and that was great. It's also Autumn time!!! So, super pretty leaves everywhere, cool hiking weather and pumpkin pie :D Gotta love it. I went up Crimson Trail (up Logan Canyon) with some friends and we had a blast. It was great to hike it. And I learned how out of shape I have gotten since camp (need to start hiking some more). So many cliffs, and leaves and just beautiful things everywhere. It was a good start to the weekend and I hope I get to do more fun things with friends later this year. It's already October and things are going by so fast. Hiking up Crimson with Josh, Derek and Katie is behind the camera.
So, there's my updated blog. Not as long as previously expected. That's okay. Things are great. Even when stress happens. It's odd, cause stress will happen and I will be so overwhelmed and almost ready to give up. And then, (usually the next day), something will happen to make it all better. It's pretty consistent. Anytime I start thinking I'm a terrible teacher, someone will tell me otherwise, or I will perform well on an assignment. And, I'm just thankful for that. Because if it wasn't for those small blessings, I would be drowning right now. So, thank you all my friends and family who keep believing in me. I couldn't make it without you.
