It's gettin' a little crazy around here....

Well, it's been awhile!  This semester is kicking my butt!  (And Ephraim's too.)  We're pushing through....but barely.

So I'm now a chapter member of Phi Sigma Alpha, the Political Science National Honor Society.  Unfortunately, I won't be getting enough poli sci credits to be a national member since my plan changed.  I'm on my way to becoming a member of Phi Alpha Theta (the application is in process), which is the National History Honor Society.  And I'm the official Executive Secretary for CEO, the Collegiate Entrepreneur's Association.  And I'm so stoked to be so involved!

I've also been working a lot with Americans for Prosperity, which is a national non-partisan organization that promotes a strong economy.  This election they are really trying to get the vote out for Romney.  It's been fun to do polling and getting BYUI students to go to the rally they're having on Tuesday at FatCats (the movie theater here...free movies and pizza...students can hardly turn it down).  And next Friday, I'm heading down to Vegas for the weekend to campaign for Romney with the Madison County College Republicans (a county organization here in Rexburg).  Pretty cool.

I'm absolutely loving my business classes, and my accounting class isn't too bad either.  I don't know why I didn't listen to my husband and and start taking these classes sooner!  (Don't tell him I said that.)  What I wish I would have done is majored in either Business or Political Science and minored in the other.

But what I'm going to do when I'm done with my online class next semester....I have no clue.  Graduate school, look for a job, work on possibly starting a business, start having kids.....I just don't know.  So many options!  And I don't even have to choose just one!  What I'm trying to do is just focus on this semester, soak up all that I can, learn all that I can, and figure the rest out later.

Meanwhile, eating healthy and going to the gym are way on the backburner.  I've gained somewhere between 5-10 pounds since school started (after losing about 4 inches the two weeks prior!), which really sucks.  And Red Bull has really become a staple in this house.  haha.

Anyway, this weekend will hopefully give me time to catch up on homework, sleep, and spiritualness....and probably cleaning and laundry, too.

IT'S CRAZY AROUND HERE!
