Halfway

Its already halfway through my first semester. very exciting, but also a reminder that I still have the rest of the semester. I think i'm doing pretty well in most of my classes. my math grade is finally at an ok grade since my first test grade was very bad. by the end of the semester it should be super!

So I've decided not to do the dorms next semester. I'm not financially ready, but I have a very nice set up where I am. (i am so lucky to have a brother and sister in law that will let me live with them) at some point i'll get my own place closer to school. i was also thinking of getting a laptop. i'll be browsing alot before getting one and maybe wait until after christmas (hint hint wink wink) there will be a lot of end of the year sales.

One thing that i can not wait for is thanksgiving. hopefully i'll get to come home. its one thing i've been looking forward to all semester. that and christmas. its kinda funny, before i left i wasnt even sure if i wanted to come home for holidays and now i'm counting down the days untill they come. i guess that there is no place like home.

I'm still technology changellenged with this computer, so my pictures will be stuck on my camera for awhile.

Things I Miss About New Mexico

1. The weather (it definately wouldnt be snowing in September)

2. The food. (I miss golden pride breakfast burritos and juan's broken taco)

3. Having a Target close by, or anything else for that matter.

4. Lexie (she is just too dang cute!)

5. The rest of my family in NM

6. Sandia ward (and people in Eldorado ward)

7. old friends

8. The mountains and how the sun sets on them (the mountains here dont do that)

9. Movies 8 (best movie theatre ever!)

10. Not having to worry about a clean room 24/7

11. Having a reliable internet connection at home

12. Balloon Fiesta season. Thats when it starts to get chilly, and its cool to drive around and see bazillion hot air balloons in the sky.

13. An easy to find camera shop (I'm stocking up when I go home)

14. The Albuquerque Temple. (sure there a tons in the Salt Lake Valley, but that one is special to me)
