to whom it may concern

Well, considering the fact I like assignments that don't involve me telling the inner most personal thoughts of my soul, I will let you know that this experience of attending Brigham Young has been great for the most part. I have enjoyed the experience of living on my own. I do like the things that go on and the people i am surrounded by. the only thing I really have had a hard time with is the fact that everyone in my ward is the same age, and it's really disappointing to not be able to have the age groups, etc.
I don't like the lectures I get in my physical science class. I don't feel like he is talking directly to me, and I am just a face in a sea of people. It makes it hard for me to really want to pay attention in that class. Why do they have classes that huge in the first place. it's rather said and kind of silly. My Hebrew class is wonderful, and I wish that I could understand everything in it. it drives me crazy because I have a hard time with pronunciation, that I can't really speak at all. ARGH!!!
I hate the fact that I have netflix, because now I can watch movies and The Office all the time. So I waste my time on that, and I really don't have any discipline against it. It makes me sad.
I anticipated a great time here, and I am having a great time. Although, today I had like an anxiety attack. And I think I am over it. So in anycase, I know that if I continue to read my scriptures, go to the temple, and do what I need to be doing, I can get things done and not feel worried.

My grand adventure

So, for my adventure around campus i was unoriginal and went to explore the HFAC basement. Yeah, so I asked this really cool, very cute guy I work with to go exploring with me. So the only bad thing was that he was not feeling very well and didn't enjoy exploring as much as I did. So, we explored the basement as much as our heart's desired and well I think we were both disappointed with it. OOhh cool water heater. Oh the walls go from gray to white. Wow. A death threat on a door. Mmmm...better reconsider that option. Oh pianos for sell? dont have enough Money for that. Oh well. so we ended our adventure there and looked at all the spiffy paintings and artwork displayed. So much more entertaining.
Oh, I don't know if this counts, but I attended the tunnel singing on Sunday night. I have never been there, but it was so super awesome. It's right by the Marriot Center and we sing hymns for an hour or so. But it was really neat, and it's a good way to make new friends. I sadly lost my voice, and left a little early. Anyways, something we should all try.

Christ Healing the Sick at Betheseda

Man under the tarp; one can't see the face well enough since it's dark, but his eyes are in awe of Christ. It's great seeing how thrilled he looks. Christ has his hands out like Come follow me; i can do all things for you if you will have faith in me. He wants to heal you, but sometimes we are ignorant or prideful of being healed. Which is quite sad. I, like the man in the red cap do not always recognize the Lord and the healing power he can offer. I haven't seen such sorrow on a person's face in a painting. like without tears, but it's so recognizable in him. I wonder if it's the lack of faith or of desire of help. Some look distracted and others see past the miracles and think of the law of the Sabbath. you would think that those who knew the law, etc. would care of spiritual things and would want to be spiritually edified. They are going about their daily lifes instead. The man under the tarp didn't seek to be healed of the Lord. Yet Christ sought him and asked if he would not be healed of his infirmities.
