The first week of school

I, like many others, started school at ISU this week. I have it pretty easy since I only have two classes, but it's interesting to note some changes around ISU. There are a TON more bikes, scooters, and motorcycles on campus than I have ever seen. Also, both of my history classes are in the new Rendezvous building, so I'm nowhere near the History department offices. The Rendezvous building is technically finished, but on the third floor only about 4 classrooms are finished, I walked by at least 4 others that didn't even have sheetrock, it was all concreate and pipes. I still think this building is the biggest waste of money! Anyway, now that I'm off my soapbox... Blake and I finished our cleaning job last Friday and it has been soooooooooo nice not to have to clean for two hours everynight. We've been able to go to a stake FHE, a Chukars game, and just plain relax (well, I read my readings for class, but that's not hard). We also got the official word that Pocatello Housing accepted are application and we are moving to Katsilometes Courts on 7th St. We are very excited because it's sooooo much nicer and cheaper than our current apartment. Anyway, that's about all that's new with us.

School looms ever closer...

I just recieved my bill from ISU for the two 3-credit classes I will be taking this fall...$1416.00!!! Holy crap! It's a good thing that FAFSA realizes that newly married couples are poorer than dirt and gave me some grants or we'd be in trouble. However there is a silver lining to all of this and that is, is that I have this semester and two more classes in spring and then I'm outta there!!!! Also, Blake and I have decided to quit our Varsity cleaning job as of next week, so that we don't have to do that while I do school. It will also help us be eligible (I don't know how to spell that word, hopefully y'all know what I'm talking about) for moving into an apartment called Katslometes Courts. Hopefully, that will happen in early September. It's weird to think that just a year ago I lived with my parents while going to school and having a job. Now, I moved with my parents, got a boyfriend/fiancee/husband, got married, moved into an apartment, took on another job, and will be moving again! This whole moving thing is not fun and I will be glad when it's over. Anyway, Blake and I continue to work and enjoy life, and as long as we do those two things I think will be good.
P.S. I just figured out that people left me comments on all my posts, thanks for saying hi and finding me! Also, Momma Mia was soooooo funny!
