Rexburg...my home away from home!

*Random thought of the day: Confidence. In the dictionary, it says that confidence is: belief in oneself and one's powers and abilities; self confidence; self reliance; trustworthiness or reliability in a person or thing. Confidence. Something I should have more of...yet its all talk for me, depending on what the thing or situation is. I think all of us at one point or another lack confidence in either ourselves, someone or something else, or whatever. Someone once said, “Insecurity will always rent the space it occupies, but confidence will own the building, and any other room it steps in.” I suggest we all remember this and keep the best confidence in yourself you can have because it can cause great consequences, even in the smallest things! The End.*

REXBURG! It truly is my home away from home. I felt joy when I re-entered Rexburg and I could see the temple up on the hill and then drove into where my apartment was and saw the beautiful campus! It was quite overwhelming getting unpacked and moved in, etc. Super typical. But, I'm mostly settled and school starts tomorrow! I've gotten to see a few of my friends which is awesome! I'm getting along with my roommates so far too-they are all younger than me haha, but nice funny girls! I'm sure we will have a fun semester!

I'm starting this semester with 17 credits. bleh...but its probably going to be fine. Ok, i'm also auditioning for a a choir that rehearses twice a week that I really hope to get into and I'm working 19 hours a week at my on campus job. Not to mention...I have to make time to work out, go to the temple, do whatever calling in my ward if it requires extra time, and have a social life! ha! I know. You're probably all thinking I'm crazy...well that's because I am:) But don't judge me! Its normal!

I'm so grateful to be here again at BYU-Idaho. It truly is the best place and I just want everyone who's anyone to come here! I'm also grateful that I went home this summer. I feel truly blessed that I was able to earn almost over enough money to pay for my school and everything. I don't feel I always deserve those blessings, but the Lord must see that I'm doing SOMETHING right! :) It was good to spend some time with my family too, seeing as that was the last time I plan on living at home. Though I was a workaholic, it was still a nice break from schoolwork and now I get to make a switch again!

I hope all of you are doing well-i've posted pictures below of the beggining of this semester so far! Take care everyone!
