First week: CHECK

The first week of class is OVER! And I am loving this break, already. :)

BREAKING NEWS: Okay, so a few minutes ago there was a knock at the door. Since my roommies are gone til later today (they're both at home because they live like 5 seconds away) I answered the door. And there was so one there! Just 6 DELICIOUS looking homemade cookies and a note that says:
Aloha Brianna, Delaney, and Emma,
Hope you all had a banging first week of school and that none of you have gotten into too much trouble yet. It's going to be a great year getting to know the most beautiful sisters at BYU! These cookies are legit, made with the spirit of love and friendship from our humble abode. Please don't thank us, thank the Lord from whom all blessings flow! We hop ethat you enjoy them and that they are just as sweet as the fruit of life. If you see us around campus or at our apartment, please come and say hi so that we can get to know each and every one of you!!!

Me ke aloha pumehana,
The BOIZ of 414
(Karl, Michael, Preston, Palakiko)
And there was a nice picture of the 4 of them.

My first reaction: I laughed my head off for like 20 minutes. Only at BYU would you EVER get a note like that. HA! I've met Karl, Michael and Palakiko. Palakiko is from Hawaii is super cool and hilarious. And Karl and Michael collected my fast offerings yesterday. Michael is on the drumline, which makes him super
attractive. Plus, all of them were at choir yesterday, which makes them all amazing anyway.

Second reaction: I love all of them. Me and my roommies WILL go over there one day and ask all of them to play volleyball or something. It was so sweet of them to do that!
These cookies ARE legit. Soooo good.


A close up so you guys can tell me which one to marry. L to R: Karl, Michael, Preston, Palakiko.
The awesome cookies they left!!!!!! Minus one, that I just ate.

Anyway...

So classes were pretty good. I'm taking Western humanities, Physical Science, Environmental Biology, New Testament, and Writing & Rhetoric. And Marching Band, 3 times a week plus games. I'd say I've got a pretty good load of stuff. Humanities is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally really really really really boring. But I'll get an A anyway, just because I refuse to get anything less. I'm getting all A's guys. The end. All my other ones are great. I LOOOOOVE my New Testament teacher, Tyler Griffin. He's so nice and sweet and excited about the gospel. Every class I just want to bawl my eyes out.

I really love BYU. For real, guys. I was a little nervous before I came out here for Round 2. But it has been so good. Band is wonderful. I love everything about it. We had a marching band fireside the day after band camp. Because we're all mormons. And it was soooo cool! I've never really felt so close to another group of people besides my own family. But now the band (especially the trumpet section- the ENTIRE thing) is like my new family. I love them all so much! There's such a feeling of unity and love that I've gotten from everyone I've met here, and I absolutely love love love love love it. It's so nice guys. Everyone should come to BYU. I bet I could just walk up to a stranger in my ward and be like hey can I sleep in your apartment tonight? And they'd say yes and we'd have a slumber party and they would feed me great food and it would just be so nice. I just feel like being really nice to EVERYONE here, all the time!

I had my first game! I forgot to take pictures though... whoopsies. Next time. Sorry ma. But it was good! I sat next to Jamie the whole time. <3 It was nice. It was kind of a boring game, though. But we won! I think it was like 30-6 or something. I messed up about a billion times, but it's okay because apparently the band wasn't even on tv at all. Lame. But I WAS on the giant screen in the stadium! I was jammin to the fight song while we were waiting on the sidelines to go onto the field for halftime. And then I looked up, and there I was! I looked really weird though, I had to move around a little just to verify that it was me. But once I was certain, I'm pretty sure my eyes got reallllly big, and I looked right into the GIANT camera that the guy was holding and waved. It was great. I'm famous. I'll be sure to get you all an autograph.
Also, Beck and Ben came to the game! It was SO good to see them there! They screamed my name and I saw them and freaked out. It was great! Thanks SOOOOO much for coming guys!

Well, I've got a paper to write for tomorrow. About how I think immodesty is the worst fad today. SO much fun.

Also, I'd recommend listening to "At Last" by Etta James. That woman has got more soul in her pinky than the entire white population.

The end. Love you all! Write me! Here's my address!
