Spreading Like Wild Fire!


The past couple days have been interesting. I've finally realized what the craziness is about college finals week! There are so many review sessions to go to, papers to worry about, and packing to do! On wednesday, we turned in our 8 page research papers and we got them back today! 96% for me!!! My highest college paper yet!!!! We also started our next project in English, a group project making brochures to lure high school seniors to BYU.  My group is Arielle, me, Dan, and Ally.  We're doing really well so far! Then today was our last day of Physical Science instruction.  The last day we got to see Professor Hart.  He was one of the best Science teachers I've ever had, maybe THE best! I have one more test in there (tomorrow) and then the final on Wednesday.  Student Development should be an easy final as well.  We are in groups for this as well, working on a case study to "diagnose" a student's study problems.  Tonight, or some other night soon, the girls of 2100 Hinckley are tie-dying shirts!!!! I'm so excited! I love making shirts!!! Last night we actually made t-shirts as an entire hall.  We spray painted them out on the back lawn.  I got there a little late and there weren't many colors left, but I still think I got out with a pretty good shirt! This morning, coming back from class I passed the area where we spray painted and the grass was all different colors!  It was a sight to see! I still find it ironic that Mormons were getting high off of spray paint at a BYU approved event!!! HaHa!
There have been about 12 forest fires in the state of Utah over the past couple of days.  One is in Zion National Park, one in Salt Lake City that closed one of the airport runways, and one near Cedar City.  They haven't moved near Provo yet, and they probably won't.  They are pretty much contained now.  The air was so dusty and smoky that Mt. Timpanogas completely disappeared for a whole day! We got to experience a "flat" Utah for awhile!!!
