It is Friday afternoon and I have just survived my first week of school. A new apartment, new classes, and new interests all added up to an overwhelming week.
I am taking multiple physics classes this semester and let me tell you, those physics nerds are hilarious! Notice how I don't include myself as a physics nerd, I am still trying to deny my true calling in life. I was in the Eyring Science Center today and could hear some guy going off on how cool Star Trek is. Forgive me if I am wrong, but Star Trek is just about the nerdiest show around. I will admit that I like the original episodes and that Spock is my favorite character, but my enjoyment of the show stops there. Well, I will also admit that I have looked up quotes from the show on imdb.com and have looked up plans for the Enterprise. I also happen to think that Galaxy Quest is hilarious for just making fun of the show. I do like my classes and the people in them. It is fun learning about how we describe the world and how not everything follows logic.
I am living with three new people this semester and they are great. I haven't gotten to know them as much as I would like, but my fears were put aside the second day I was there. They keep the apartment clean and neat and it has a nice feeling. A friend of mine makes his bed everyday and for a while there I could not understand why you would make your bed in the morning just to be unmade at night. It's like running on a treadmill - you aren't going anywhere! I have made my bed everyday for a week and it does make a difference. It is a nice feeling to get into a made bed after a long day. It also helps me make the transition from my daytime activities to my nighttime activities (sleep) better than getting into an unmade bed.
As far as my new interests go, well I will just say that I have gone running twice since I have been in Provo and have loved it. I was never a runner before and only ran when people where chasing me. That all changed when I ran with two ladies at work one day and signed up for a 5K. I ran that 5K (well almost the whole way) and loved it. My stepmom helped to inspire me - she is an amazing runner. She convinced my dad to buy me running shoes and let me run with the dog. I have been hooked ever since. I am still trying to get over the first hurdle and then I am hoping that I can continue to improve. I will tell you that I miss that dog, though. She was the best running partner I have had!

So, I totally miss you. Tyler and I were talking about what I can do during the day to stay busy. I said I wanted to take an online math class. He told me I was crazy. You understand me though right? So, I've admitted that I'm a nerd, I think it's time for you to come out of the closet. Love you!
