Well, I'm finally caught up. I'm doing real well, loving school, and missing the heck out of Ryan as he's in Los Angeles for his four-month internship with the biggest PR firm in the world {I am so, so proud of him}. I'm getting into the swing of Spring term. Mostly it means everyone's working and no one's going to school, so I'm a minority. I'm trying to keep a balance between class and the summer stuff. Bonfires, parties, movie nights, hikes, roadtrips, etc. Spring term is a warm, sunny, non-stop party, and I love it.
     I recently was extended an offer to be a research assistant with one of my professors, and am starting training with that soon. Paid internship - check! I'm STOKED. Still working at Outdoors Unlimited and loving the way I learn new things every day, even if it sometimes means looking utterly stupid. {I did learn how to change a bike tube the other day though! Small victories, my friends.} I'm fixing up a bike I was given by a friend too. Just a plug for bikes: HAVING A BIKE IS SO GREAT. Especially in Provo, where everything you really need is within a few miles of you. I can get to a lot of places faster than my friends with cars do. Plus, no $60 per tank of gas that poor car owners shell out every week or so. I pity them. I grocery shop, I get to work, I go to the mall, FOR FREE. I'm unstoppable. I'm truly dreading the day I have to get a car...
     I'm also helping out at BYU's weather station, which is really pretty cool. Going to the temple every week with my roommate Katie and appreciating the way she gets me out the door to do fun things when I'm bemoaning the absence of my man. Keeping busy with a calling in charge of all the teachers in the ward. Writing my best friends on their missions and missing them like crazy. Playing on an intramural frisbee team. {SO fun.} Going to institute, getting together with friends for weekly scripture study, getting Katie to teach me to be domestic and kitchen-competent so I can impress Ryan when he gets back...
     I'm happy and very, very blessed. Life is good here in Provo.
