SVU: The Sophmore Year

So on Friday I made my glorious return to SVU!!! My mom drove down with me, since I don't have my license yet. I live in a modular (trailor) home with a kitchen, dinning, and living areas, 2 full bathes and a double bath (2 toilets, a shower, three sinks). There are 6 bedrooms as well, all with 2 beds. One room is for the RA only, so 5 rooms for everyone else. So far, my roommate hasn't shown up and I don't think she will... so I might get a room to myself!!

Saturday, mom and I had the adventure of finding the storage building that my friends were sharing! Oh it was frustrating!! We eventually found it when I realized that I didn't know which one it was!! I tried calling them multiple times, trying the locks with the key I had, and praying it would work. Again, we were frustrated!! Finally, I found out which one it was and got all my things out, never wanting to do that again. I finished setting up my room and it looked like I had lived there for a while. After a dinner at the local Applebee's, I went to the dance at school. I saw many friends that I missed over the summer! Oh it was great!! The dance ended late and I went to bed late.

Sunday, Mom and I went to church together in my new ward, Buena Vista University 1st Ward. All the meetings were combined and talked about the temple, except Sunday school which was about Jonah. We got VERY DEEP. But it was nice. After church, mom ate lunch with me and left about an hour later. I met with the bishop for him to get to know me and then I went to a Stake Fireside. This too was very nice and focused on hwo we need to prepare for the rest of our lives. Afterwards, I officially met the infamous Justin, Brandon's roommate from his freshman year here. He was funny and very knowledgeable about the scriptures!! I then went to Hymns on the Hill, activity where we gather to sing hymns every sunday night. We had the biggest attendance ever!!

Well, I await for my birthday in the morning. I'll be 20 and going to classes for the first time this fall. I love you all and I hope to hear from you soon!!
