Long times....

Wow.... I haven't used this blog since March???? That is kind of sad. Although.... I kind of feel that most everyone who reads this blog knows what's been going on in my life. But for the sake of things... I guess I will summarize what has happened since March. (starting up the habit of using a blog again, so that I can start posting on Wesley's missionary blog)

I really just finished class from last semester. Got good grades. And moved on to summer. I spent the first month of summer in Colorado, just hanging out, spending time with friends and family. I usually do that. I chose to work at Trefoil Ranch, a summer camp in Utah this year, as the camp in Colorado was still closed. This was my second year at Trefoil, and I must say one of my best. It really was, though we were understaffed, the staff seemed very united and we all pretty much got along. It was a lot of fun, and I met so many amazing and wonderful people. I loved out new camp director, Journey. She was fabulous and did amazing with the camp for her first year. I'm hoping to return next summer and that some of our amazing staff will return as well. So, thanks all my summer camp friends for making things completely amazing.

So, that gives you an idea for summer. Then I started school and such. Which really has been great. A little intense, but super good. I have 3 practicums this semester. I teach a wonderful little first grade reading group. I love working with them and they are amazing. I have a third grader that I tutor twice a week. I also am teaching two PE classes every Monday (starting next Monday). So... kind of intense. I think the class I'm most nervous for is PE. Oddly enough, that's just the class that seems more chaotic. But, I'm hoping working with summer camp will prepare me a little. We're coming in on week 8 and midterms... so it is kind of crazy that I'm already almost done with the semester. But, hey... it's going great. I'm feeling super confident with my classes and I just overall feel good. 

The rest of my life (classes and practicum aside) is spent doing swing dancing. I'm still the President of USU's Big Band Swing club, which is going pretty good. I'm trying to get it more "on the map" with activity and participation. But, hey things are going. I love it. I've actually helped teach some of the lessons, which is pretty cool (cause I'm not good at the leads at all). I also am on Swing Set, the USU B team. That has been super fun. I have a great partner and our coaches are great and it's just fun to learn new things. So, there's that....

So, that is my life. Things have been good. Just doing homework, swing and hanging out. I've met some amazing people and love hanging out with them. Coming in on week 8 of school and fall break. Also!!! Wesley had is mission farewell this past weekend. He did so good. He may not realize this, but he will be a wonderful missionary and I'm going to miss him a lot. He'll have an amazing time in South Korea. So, I'll be helping keep his blog up, so if you want to visit that it's .... http://elderwesleybuckwalter.blogspot.com/
