Woo! Last night I registered for classes. That was...an experience. It's hard to try and figure out what classes you want/should take from a 200 page catalog. I finally came away with a schedule I was happy with, even though I didn't get an art class.
1. University Spanish 3; daily, 7:00-7:50. Yes. I know it's early. But I totally had early morning seminary. I'm a pro. HA. But seriously, I had to fight for this class! I had to keep checking back on the registration site and didn't think I had a chance to get in. Luckily there was one open spot this evening so I took it.
2. Book of Mormon; TTh, 9:00-9:50. This should be a good class, even though it sounds like my professor is kind of intense.
3. Honors Writing and Rhetoric; MWF, 9:00-9:50. This should be a good one. Writing and rhetoric are kind of my thing, so I'm excited!
4. Honors Western Humanities 1; MWF, 11:00-11:50. I loved the humanities classes I took in high school. I know this is a little different, but it sounds really cool! The description is as follows... "Western civilization from Greek antiquity to Renaissance from perspective of traditional humanistic values reflected in its arts and ideas. Examines fundamental questions about human experience, formative events in history, and value of important literary and artistic texts."
5. Geography and World Affairs; MWF, 12:00-12:50. This might be the class I am most excited for. It looks so interesting and my professor got really great reviews on Rate My Professor. Apparently he gives slideshows of different places around the world, and all the photos are ones he has taken himself. Neat? I think yes.
So...that's my fall schedule! Even though I didn't get an art class like I had hoped, I think I'll survive. All I need now are some dishes for my dorm...and maybe a few other things...and I'm set to go!

Girl's Camp 2010
So on Saturday (Yes, I actually started this on time but...didn't post it until now. Which makes this a few weeks late!), I got home from Girl's Camp. It was easily the best week of my summer! I love to be a YCL (youth camp leader) for the younger girls and being so goooofy all week long. Who wouldn't want to go camping with all your best friends? It's the greatest! Here is a blist of some of my favorite things about girl's camp.
1. If you ask nicely and promise to write the cook's sons letters while they are on their missions, you might just be able to snag a few snickerdoodles before dinner.
2. The first year girls are adorable. I had originally wanted to YCL for the fourth year girls and go back packing, but because I was needed in Unit 1, I got to YCL there! It turned out to be a great experience.
3. a. This year we started a new camp tradition...YCL nicknames! Can you guess mine? SPARKLES.
3. b. I loved calling people by their nicknames. It was so fun to say, "Hey Stiletto, what time is blah blah blah" and, "Rockstar, can you pass me the salt?" or, "No one told you to do that, Chip. It was the people in your head who told you to!" (That last one was an actual quote.)
4. We play pranks on each other. The best one by far happened on Friday night, our last night in camp. Apple/Spunky/Stephanie, our almost fearless YCL leader informed us that the one thing she is really afraid of are alien invasions/abductions. So Friday, we all decided to have a BIG sleepover downstairs (we stayed in a lodge, slept upstairs and had a sweet hangout downstairs). We sat around a table until 2:30 making friendship bracelets, telling stories, and laughing our heads off. Around 2, Apple decided to go to her car across the way to get a CD to play for us. Lexi, who in a moment of brilliance decided to pull an alien prank on Apple, ran upstairs and got her headlamp and three glow sticks, strategically placed in the band of the headlamp strap. When Apple came into the door, Lexi began clicking her tongue with all the lights about her head. Apple ran away as fast as she could. Hysterical.
5. One of my girls this year is actually my friend from seminary's cousin. It was really random to find that out, but way cool, too!
6. I love the stars. My very favorite part of camp is the star gazing. There's something wonderful about laying on your back, looking through the trees at all those little bits of light in the sky.
7. a. My other very favorite part of camp is talking with the leaders. Staying up until 2 AM with Apple, Forte, and Jane Eyre was one of the best nights I've had in a long time. We talked about everything and it was so easy to discuss stuff with them.
7. b. Talking with my dad is also really fun. The night of the dance, he made me laugh so hard I peed my pants. True story.
8. The food at girl's camp is always amazing. I think that I eat more at girl's camp than I do the rest of the year. Ok, slight exaggeration. Major exaggeration. But seriously. One night at dinner I ate two whole baked potatoes, a salad, jello...I can't even remember everything. But I also ate cookies, ice cream, and an apple crisp. Delicioso.
9. I learned how to make a mean friendship bracelet. Tell me what pattern/colors you want and I'll make you one.
10. a. I found my power animal: the butterfly.
10. b. To discover your power animal, it must come to you. For example, I did not know my power animal until two butterflies that were basically dancing flew into my face. And the rest was history.
So basically Girl's Camp is the best thing ever and I love it. That's all, the end :)

This is Unit 1. During our certification, the girls used their knowledge of knots to tie up Brother Savage!
My girls: "Sparkles, it's knot time!"
Me: "It's not time for what?"
Rockstar and I. Best YCLs evah!

A Blist of the Classes I Will Be Taking Fall 2010

I had to keep checking back on the registration site and didn't think I had a chance to get in. Luckily there was one open spot this evening so I took it.

4. Honors Western Humanities 1; MWF, 11:00-11:50. I loved the humanities classes I took in high school. I know this is a little different, but it sounds really cool! The description is as follows... "Western civilization from Greek antiquity to Renaissance from perspective of traditional humanistic values reflected in its arts and ideas. Examines fundamental questions about human experience, formative events in history, and value of important literary and artistic texts."
5. Geography and World Affairs; MWF, 12:00-12:50. This might be the class I am most excited for. It looks so interesting and my professor got really great reviews on Rate My Professor. Apparently he gives slideshows of different places around the world, and all the photos are ones he has taken himself. Neat? I think yes.
So...that's my fall schedule! Even though I didn't get an art class like I had hoped, I think I'll survive. All I need now are some dishes for my dorm...and maybe a few other things...and I'm set to go!
