Educate yo'self!

Well kids, Spring Semester has finally arrived. I've decided to stay in Utah this semester and continue living with Cristina and kids for the time being. Let me continue with saying that while Cris was probably the biggest reason I am going to stay in Utah, she is not the ONLY reason.
Reasons why I will not be returning to Rexburg:
1. Cristina and kids
2. I am going to New York this week, aka the first week of school (sounds smart)
3. I would have to leave for over a week to go to Guatemala.
4. The last two weeks of school are also the weeks of Retreat for Girls. Last year I didn't go and it about KILLED me. It might be sort of dumb to think I can pull of finishing up classes in time to go to RFG, but if there is a will, there is a way right?
5. I'm excited that all my Utah friends will start showing their faces around here.
6. It just feels right.

So my classes all opened on Saturday. Annnnnnnnnnd I'm starting to have anxiety. I think I wasn't quite mentally prepared. I've been looking forward to New York so much that I sort of forgot that it also was the week classes began. And I'm used to moving into my new apartment, meeting new roommates, buying books at the bookstore, and everything else that comes with a new semester. I almost forgot we were starting and I feel like I am not mentally prepared!

In total: 15 credits
Econ 150 (Because I am considering changing my major to International Studies)
English 201 (Advanced writing- Foundation class)
Religion 200 (Family Foundations- Required, not looking forward to this at all....)
Science 201 (Natural Disasters-Foundation class)
Science 203 (Environmental Stewardship- Foundation class)
College Sucess 105 (Because I needed one more credit for my scholarship)

They say that I should be devoting at LEAST 2 hours per credit each week. 15 x 2= 30 hours of school + 20 hours a week of work = Can I really make this happen?
I'm nervous that I am starting a semester so pessimistic. So I'm determined to change it,


(Please pray for my sanity)

And for a good laugh:
(sorry about the poor quality)
