First day of school.

I have three more.  Only three more times I get to wear the best outfit in my closet. (Some things never change.) And of course, today I got to buy all new notebooks and pens, plus get a brand-new planner. One of my favorite things could very possibly be looking at an unmarked planner, and wondering what actually will happen on those days. It's just so exciting! Anyway, I didn't have class until 4 today, so I got to hit up the gym and the temple before I had to go into work. It's been a very productive day.


To make things even more productive, Rebecca and I had a great conversation last night about what our priorities in our 20-year-old lives are. (Almost 21-year-old lives!) We decided on this list, and will make posters tonight to hang in our rooms as a daily reminder:

• Church. Jesus Christ, Ward callings, and weekly meeting/temple attendance.
• Family. Always being there for family members.
• School. I am in Provo to get an education, ya know.
• Work. I have arguably the coolest job on campus, but also requires a LOT of work.
• Sleep. As many of you know, my ideal bedtime is 10:30.
• Social life. This includes dating, and blowing off all homework to go to a party.

So, this is what will be displayed in my room. It is sad that my social life is number six, but at this point, it really needs to be. I'm totally not worried about not having friends--what do you think broadcast journalism majors do all day? Every class period is social hour. (Yes, we get work done, don't worry.) I guess we could interchange numbers five and six...if, say I was talking to a cute boy...but we'll deal with that when it comes. For now, this is what it is. 

I have some other exciting news. I was officially hired today as a reporter for True Blue! I'm still going to be producing and that will take precedence, but I get to do a couple stories a month in front of the camera. I can't wait, it will be so much fun. I love that at BYU Broadcasting, they really want input from the students, and they want us to get to our full potential. It's perfect, really. 

I hope everyone else had a great first day of school!
