Dear Everyone,
This has been a challenging week - classes have started and it's intense. Some of my biggest challenges: my last math class was pre-calc, and 95% of the other people in my class have taken calculus, most of them AP calculus, before. I didn't really get anything that was happening during the lesson, but sat down with the TA and sort of figured it out afterwards (I think). The concepts in physics aren't new yet, but we're using some calculus equations that I don't understand. Both calculus and physics are a lot of reading, and you really have to understand the material on your own. My favorite professors so far are my physics and German professors. German isn't to bad yet, but beginning next week I'll be writing a 2 page paper 3 times a week, in addition to a chapter of reading. Once a month or so I have a music report that I have to do - I'm supposed to pick a piece that is at least 30 min. long, listen to it and write a 1-2 page report on it. I'm enjoying my Religion class, again a really good professor, and student development isn't too bad (I've only been there once and we took a personality test to see what our learning style is). I ended up dropping one of my ballroom dance classes (it was just a little much). Voice lessons will start on Wed.
I was glad for the weekend - Friday I went to the temple with Rachel (my cousin), then went to a dance later on. Saturday I studied most of the day, watched 1/2 of a BYU football game, studied a little more, then played 3 hours of volleyball.
Today my room mate Natalie was sustained as relief society president and was at church for most of the day. She's a little overwhelmed. After she got back we went straight to a fireside at the Marriot center... and that would just about bring you all up to date.
I'd luv to hear from y'all!
Margaret
Hey baby!!!
AntwortenLöschenWow, you've been crazy busy! I know you'll stay on top of everything, though, cause you can do just about anything you set your mind to! Just remember to do things like sleep ;) Anyway, I'm glad to hear the report. Call me sometime!
Love ya!

Hey Margaret!!!
AntwortenLöschenSo great to hear you are having fun at BYU. Remember not to get too overwhelmed! You are there to grow socially as well as academically...both are important :). Make sure you go to a football game for me. The energy is intoxicating inside the stadium. Also, be sure to go to JDawgs for me. My sister and her husband own and run the little hotdog shack down right at the southeast corner of campus. Their little girl's name is MAE. Make sure you ask if Jayson or Heidi are there and say hi from me...keep having fun. By the way, you don't mention any cute boys...surely you've met some?????
