The Beginning!



Hey all! I AM DONE WITH ANATOMY!!!! It feels so good to be done with it, I took my finals last Friday and ended Book of Mormon with an A and Anatomy with an A- which I was totally happy with! After finals were done I drove home to Utah and we went to Bear Lake for the weekend. It was so much fun to spend time with my fam. We rented Jet Skis on Saturday and it was a blast! I'm glad I got to go have a break at home in between semesters. :D

So far I love having tons of people up here. It's weird going from having no one in the streets or around like it was in the summer, but when I drove into Rexburg on Wednesday from Utah I knew it was going to be way different. People were EVERYWHERE!

My classes started on Thursday at 9:00 am. I had Spanish, my teacher is going to be way fun but it will be a hard class. She asked if anyone in the class had taken Anatomy or Physiology and I raised my hand she said, this class will be a rival for your time with those....I was like "Great, welcome to college Erianne!" haha I also have Book of Mormon (the second part), Intro to Home and Fam, Volleyball theory (to coach someday), and Physiology! It will definitely keep me busy, and I will have 8-10 hours a week with the competitive volleyball team I am trying out for in a week! I am way excited to play again though, I miss it tons!

My roommates are AMAZING! I love them already, and I got so blessed to have who I have in my room. Nikki and Sara are still in my same apartment and I'm so glad cause they are amazing girls who are great examples to me and make me wanna be a better person everyday. They are super smart and I'm glad we are all taking physiology together (Sara isn't in our same class but she still is taking it) so that we can study like we did for Anatomy and help each other survive it! I love them! And then when I got back here from Utah I had 3 new roommates to meet and I was kinda nervous at first to see who would be in my room with me cause I've had my own room all summer. But Briana is awesome, she is from South Jordan, Utah. She is super cute and we get along great! She is so nice and I love her cause she is so cute, but she isn't cocky at all about it, she is way genuine! She is going to go to beauty school in a year so she always does my hair and I love it! We also have Sierra and Rafi in our apartment, they are from Oregon and they are fun girls! We are all normal and get a long great! I really was blessed to have to roommates that I have because I have heard some pretty bad horror stories with roomies!

To start off Fall semester Nikki, Sara, and I went to John Schmidt concert here at BYU Idaho on friday! It was really really good. At the end he had someone random come out from the audience and play with him, He was just a student and it was fun to see them just make stuff up on the spot together! On Saturday night we hung out with a bunch of our friends and played basketball I jammed my finger but it was way fun! After we played basketball we went in the lounge and played Foosball and talked. I whooped this kids butt playing... haha 10-5 and then 10-4! I had a lot of practice playing with Griff almost every weekend. :D

I'm loving it up here though and I'm glad I decided to come here over my full ride at Northwest for Volleyball. I was thinking today of my decisions in life especially over the past year how my "split second" decisions will effect my entire life. Yeah, I really had a week to decide about my scholarship for volleyball but in the eternal scheme of things it really was a split second that could make or break my life. And with my decision to come to the Lords school I have been so blessed and my testimony has been so strengthened!

Here are some fun pictures me and my roommates took after church today! Enjoy, and I love you all!
