1. Went to Logan to spend time with my sister Camille, brother in law John, and my two adorable nephews Porter and Cameron! We really had an enjoyable time. Played trains with the boys, watched Castle with Camille, made Banana Cinnamon Chip Bread, SHOPPING, threw rocks in a river, ate chocolate, and....had John fix the car.
2. I was supposed to leave Logan Monday but I got back to Malad yesterday around five. Why? Well, I was turning out onto the street, Porter and Cameron waving goodbye. I had to back up and when I put it in reverse, it just died! So I'm out on the middle of a street and I can't move the blasted car! Camille was going to help me, but as she came out, she shut Cameron's finger in the door. Ouch! So a guy helped me push it back to the side. John looked at it that night and thought it might be the fuel filter or pump. He went and got a new filter, no luck. The next day we towed it to an auto shop and they took a look at it. There were MANY problems with the car. Don't ask me what because I'm not fluent in car lingo. $750 later the car is up and running! Sigh, I felt really bad. I know it's not my fault but that's a lot of money and my parents are helping to pay for two college girls with another layoff coming soon in October, making getting a job even that more crucial! Plus, I was supposed to be home for a BBQ with Hilary, my grandparents, and some relatives clear from California. That was only time I would get to see Hilary before I left and now I can't :(
3. The night that John was trying to fix the car, I finally received an e-mail about my petition decision. My heart was pounding. "I have carefully reviewed your petition to change your major, and have denied the petition. The proposed changed would require credits beyond the limit allowed by BYU-Idaho. The university has set a credit limit in compliance with its imperative to allow as many students as possible to enjoy a BYU-Idaho education." I burst into tears. I looked at my semester schedule I submitted and I was only three credits over! I have never been so mad at BYU-I! With this and financial aid mix ups I have had it! It seriously makes me want to switch schools. Grr! Anyways after the tears and the anger subsided, I realized something. I received an answer to my prayers. It wasn't the answer I wanted, but God knows my heart and heard my pleas. For that, I am truly grateful to my Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ. It's still pretty hard to take because now I have to stick to a major I don't even like anymore and then try and learn from it. So I dropped my humanities class and back into the English world. Sigh, all good things will come in time.
4. I leave tomorrow for school tomorrow and I haven't even started packing yet. I'm so lazy! I'm really excited to go and be back, but I really don't have a lot of stuff to pack. So I think I'll go play some Mario Kart. Later!
