5 MORE DAYS!!!

Well, really more like 5 1/2. I am super excited to come home!!! I was going to post everyday for the last 10 days before I come home. But on day 10 I had a little mishap. Last Thursday, I went to the park with Zach, Maddy, and some of Maddy's friends. The group we were meeting decided to play football, but we decided to play basketball instead. I had worn flip flops over to the park, because we were going off campus and I take advantage of any opportunity to wear flip flops. Anyways, when we started playing, I kicked them off. Zach and I were on a team and he passed the ball to me. I missed it, of course. And I chased after it. I ran onto the grass and apparently it was wet. I slipped and fell. When I landed my foot sort of went underneath me, and then I heard a really loud pop! It was terrible. Everyone ran over and started analyzing the situation. They all decided that I should go to the ER. By this point, I was in terrible pain and I didn't really care what they decided. Needless to say, in my 2nd trip to that hospital in 2 weeks time, I sprained my ankle and broke my fibula. I am in one of those stupid boots. I go back to the doctor on Thursday to have my leg x-rayed again to make sure its healing ok. If its not, then I will be put into a regular cast. I was already scared to fly home by myself, because I was scared I would get lost or something, but now its even worse. My new nicknames are The Hobbler, The Cripple, Crutchy, or the Gimp, among others. Everyone is having tons of fun with my crutches. The boys love to tickle me, especially now that I can't get away. I will post some pictures soon!

So its been an adventurous couple of days... I can't wait to get back to GEORGIA!!!

22ish days until...

HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sometimes the time between blogs just flies by. I didn't even realize how long its been since I posted on here. So here goes... Life at BYUI is still going pretty good. I have had a ton of fun out here, but I am beyond ready to come home. We only have about 3 weeks left in the semester, and its going pretty fast. I have tons of projects and assignments coming at the last minute! But I decided not to get overwhelmed like last semster. Just taking them one at a time, instead of trying to do it all at once. A friend of ours has started doing a massive slip-n-slide. We went out there last weekend and my roommates did the slide. It was really fun! I got some pretty good pictures out there. Last week I was sick. I went to the doctor and found out that I have a kidney infection. I was in a lot of pain. I spent the whole weekend either in doctors/hospitals or on the couch. On Saturday, which was the 4th, I went to Idaho Falls to spend the day with the Murrays. They are way awesome! I love them tons! I have also accumulated a pet squirrell. I named him finnegan. He comes around every couple of days and we feed him nuts or bread or something. Its really cool, everyone thinks I'm weird but I have never gotten that close to a squirrell before. i thought it was really cool to be able to feed him out of my hand.
^^^ This is Finnegan. This was the first time I met him.^^^

^^^These are my arms after having blood work done two days in a row. They are finally starting to go away...^^^


^^^These are some picture that I took in the gardens on campus. I love the garden. It is a really quiet and peaceful place to go. There are tons of flowers for me to take pictures of. We also love to go play hide and seek or sardines out there after dark.^^^


This is the "Laundry Chute" the 40 yard slip-n-slide that our friend puts out on Saturdays.
