Almost done

Welllllll I am almost done with my applications to graduate school! It is super exciting but very scary all at the same time. I will be moving away from everything and everyone I know... I am old enough to be on my own but it will be my first time not being near family.
I leave for Rexburg on Friday for my last semester and I really hope it is a good one. The last one was terrible in so many ways. I am hoping to just enjoy it and continue getting good grades (with math that will be interesting) and leave on a good note.
I am excited to get away from the mormon culture also. I HATE when large groups of mormons get in the same area (Idaho and Utah). I think people get complacent and I think they think they are better than all other mormons because they are living in a state... such a stupid mindset but I have thankfully met enough people from Idaho and Utah that I know not all are like that... just many.
Well, I am babysitting the neph so I am going to go make sure he is not bored!

Only one left....

I officially have just one semester left of my undergraduate degree at BYU-Idaho. I am SO done with this school. I had a recent experience with roommates that really made me dislike girls in general. It made me sad to see people so blatantly break obvious rules and lie continuously. Some people will have a rude awakening some time in life and if not here they will when they die and realized they acted to stupid to get into the Celestial Kingdom. Sad.
Anyways, I am at my sister's house for the Christmas break and it is hard. She does so much more for me and I could not ask for a better sister or friend. I just miss my mom. I got some amazing gifts from family and friends and I love them all.
I had my first bout of sickness in a long time and I of course acted like a baby because I have a low tolerance for pain. Oh well... I am slowly getting better but I just want to rest.
I go back to Rexburg in less than a week to begin in a new ward and building and finish out my tenure at a church school. My children will NEVER go to a church school. I love the idea of it but I had some bad experiences being surrounded by mormons and I had some power hungry bishoprics and psychotic roommates that I dont want my kids to be exposed to. It is easier to be good at a worldly school because you have to be on your guard. At church schools, you just assume that everyone is doing the right thing and that is when you get brought down. I am grateful that I got to go but I dont want that experience for my children.
And I will NEVER date or marry someone from Idaho or Utah because I will NEVER live there.
And I am tired.
I will be better at blogging... I promise.
