It's been too long...

...since I have written on my blog.  Since the last time I wrote, I've left Holland, moved into my new house in Provo, and gone through two weeks of school (already).  I also took the final for my independent study class and got an A- on it, thank you very much :)  It's nice to finally be done with that.  But now I have real classes to participate in, and unfortunately, I'm going to have a lot of writing to do, what with my history class and my two humanities classes.  I hate writing essays (so I don't understand why I decided to be a humanities major...).

However, I also get to take four ballroom classes and choir, so I am very blessed.  Six of my eighteen credits are composed of those classes, so I only have 12 credits of "real" classes.  Hopefully it won't be too bad.  However, I do still need to find a job, which sucks, but I will hopefully be able to do so in the near future.  The only jobs that really fit in my schedule are early morning/late night custodial jobs, and those are hard to come by. It's rather unfortunate, to be sure.

All in all, things are going pretty well.  I like my professors, I'm getting along with my eight roommates, and it's nice living close to campus, although I do not enjoy have to walk up the stairs everyday (all I know is, I better have the nicest legs/butt by the end of the year).  And even though my MWF are really long, since most of my classes on those days are dance/choir, it's not too bad.

So today is the 10 year anniversary of 9/11.  I can't believe it's been that long already since it happened.  I still remember being in the car on the way to school in Texas and hearing about a place crashing into a tower, but at the time not knowing that it was a terrorist attack.  It wasn't until as the day went on that I realized the gravity of the situation.  I remember crying and praying.  I remember how long it took to get back on base on the way home from school.  It's amazing how we are still dealing with the repercussions of that day, and I think in some ways, we always will.  It still saddens me to see the grief of those who lost loved ones in the attack.  I hope that those who lost loved ones know that they are never forgotten.

So I know that I still need to tell you all about Switzerland/Italy.  I'm just a really big slacker right now.  I just don't want to take the time to go through all of my photos on my camera.  I definitely won't put all of them on here, that's for sure, but eventually you will see some of them.  I'm pretty sure I'm friends with all of you on Facebook, though, so you'll be able to see more of them on there.

And now it's time for, you guessed, Hottie of the Post!  As I type I'm trying to think of who I could choose, and I think today I'm going to go with...Jonathan Rhys Meyers!


Yet another gorgeous man with amazingly gorgeous eyes.  Seriously though, I need to marry someone with eyes like his or Jared Leto's, because then our babies will be sure to have gorgeous eyes.

Anyway, I'm tired, and still need to read some boring thing for my humanities class tomorrow, and I told a friend I would come visit him at the 9/11 flag vigil on campus sometime, and since it ends at 0730, that means a very early morning tomorrow.  So enjoy Jonathan, and I will talk to you all later :)
