Remember when...

Remember when campus was really intimidating and you felt really young? Remember when you were afraid of getting lost? Remember when you had to share a communal bathroom in the dorms? Remember your first day of classes when all you could think was: "How am I gonna keep up with all of this?!" when now you wish you could have it as easy as your freshman year? Remember when all of your guy friends left on missions and you were afraid of dating RMs? Remember your first BYU football game? Remember your first BYU basketball game and they'd do the kissing screen and you were terrified it would land on you. Remember how wierd it was to go to church on campus (in my case- a science lecture hall?) Remember how weird it was to have a huge auditorium class?
Just remembering...after all, tomorrow is my last day of classes of my college career...and yes it is very odd. For the past twenty years, walking into and sitting down in a classroom to take notes has been a regular part of my day to day schedule. you get used to it and come to expect it, but now....the next time I'll walk into a classroom will be either to sub (i'm playing around with the idea) or to go to a parent/teacher conference for my kids-CRAZY!
some of the classes i've taken over the years:

Arts in Western Culture
Human Development
Physical Science
Women's Chorus
American Heritage
Biology
Geography & World Affairs
Marriage Prep
University Writing
Intro to Greek and Roman Lit
Volleyball
2 semesters of Latin
Audio-Basic Principles
Humanities of Asia
Spanish
Music Theory, dictation, sight singing
Music History
American Humanities (colonial-1876) and (1877-present)
Philosophy of Art
Interpretation of Literature and ARts
Cultural History of Russia
Phonetics and Pronunciation of Russia
Intro to Film
Humanities: the Spanish Baroque
Humanities: Theology in lit and film
Art History
piano

Clearly not all of my classes but a sampling...I think that by the end I will have over 150 credit hours and i'm just graduating with a bachelors-what can i say, i like to take classes for fun. You see now why i'm a major like humanities? One subject just isn't enough for me :)

  1. No offense or anything, but your college experience on paper looks real boring. So the fact that you really like it means that you really deserve your degree! Congrats!

  2. Remember when ...you got lost riding the Provo city bus and vowed never to ride them again? Scary times and then you were sent to Russia!!!! Ha! It's been an adventure and you have triumphed. We are so proud of you kiddo.
