Hello!

So this past weekend was pretty fun. Friday night I worked til 2am. I had the opportunity to deal with a broken window. A freshman boy stuck his butt through a dorm window and it shattered everywhere. That was fun to follow up on. Not really. Saturday morning we had several guys (Brady, David, Shaylor, Daniel) come over to our apt and my roommates cooked pancakes.
The Relief Society Broadcast was good. I particularly liked Pres. Uchtdorf's talk.

I ran over to Brady and David's afterwards to watch Nebraska lose to Virginia Tech and the Georgia-'Bama game. I didn't rub in the Husker's loss...which I thought was pretty nice of me. haha. Texas creamed Arkansas! I love that the Big 12 comprises 3 of the top 5 ranked teams. We had an Office marathon afterwards. Everyone is in love with The Office. It's pretty hilarious.

Sunday church went well. I cooked dinner for Tyler and Ricci (the other r.a.'s in my tri-hall.) We're practically a family. Our fhe group was in charge of Ward prayer. Haylee, Sheridan, and I crashed Roger's 48's game of Indiana Jones monopoly and then played cards = ''can you take the pain?" I liked spending time with my roomies this weekend. We all generally get along very well. We each have strong/big personalities...but it is nice because we're not afraid to be our true selves. We wondered what would have happened if we had had a shy roommate. She'd probably go crazy.

This week I've got a couple mid-terms. Biology. Mission Prep. Maybe I'll muster up the motivation to go to aerobics tonight? haha.

This past weekend was hectic. surprised? I was looking forward to a dance...which just ended up being lame. Saturday consisted of the byu football game vs. Wyoming. We crushed them. Just like ucla. I had to work Saturday night. And I'll work this Friday night.

Sunday we had a good fireside for the byu 4th stake. Brad Wilcox is in the presidency and is a good speaker.

I had a pretty much typical monday. Up at 6:30am for my 8am class. After 6 hours of mostly boring classes I came home. Dad was waiting. He came to SLC for business. We went to Tucanos. It is kind of our place, I guess. It's Brazilian. And has amazing limeade. Dad took me grocery shopping too. Which was nice. It was just a quick visit.

I haven't really had time to be homesick yet since I've been at school. School, work, and friends pack every minute of my day. So, tonight it finally kicked in. I'm hoping I'll wake up and tomorrow will be a better day. I am really thankful though for the friends and ''family'' I have here. Their hugs mean the world. After taking care of so many people and listening to their issues...it is kind of nice to be on the other end.

Hello everyone. Since I've pretty occupied with school and my job I've decided it will be much easier to just keep a personal blog for y'all to read. I also have another blog (jordan-carroll.blogspot.com) for journalistic purposes.

Today was not as bad as it could have been. I woke up earlier to read several hours of New Testament. I had an assignment to read Acts-Revelations by 11:55pm Thursday night.
My aerobic dance class was good, other than the fact I rolled my ankle (the same one i sprung this summer) for the 2ND time in 2 weeks. It's a little painful right now. I'm thinking about buying an ankle brace or something of that nature.

I got to write my first "news story" in my news writing lab today. They had already formulated quotes and information. I just had to put it together in AP format. I kind of felt like I was back in yearbook again. Only with additional pressure to do well. It was actually humorous. It was about a boy that was attacked by his pet python.

It was my roommate, Ashley's, birthday today. We ordered Chinese.

I feel a little stressed with work. I have to come up with a program (more like a very detailed lesson) to present at a conference I am going to in October in Grand Junction, Colorado for Resident Assistants in the Inter-mountain colleges. I don't know where to even begin.

Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. And that there is Fall Fest. And dancing.
