Fall Semester, Christmas, and New Year's

Fall Semester 2008

I had a fun Fall semester last year. Fall semester marked the beginning of my major.....finally! I took a Computer Science class and a Computer Engineering class which took up the majority of my schedule, and then to top it off I took a Family Foundations class which helped me a lot to distinguish between gender characteristics and how a family is supposed to be raised, as well as what role each parent of the family plays and which roles are shared.

As well, I had a fun Family Home Evening group with which I spent a portion of my free time, when I had the opportunity. In addition to Family Home Evening, I was able to take photography, go to activities and on dates, and watch movies, as well as other fun events. As time went on, I had a lot of fun getting to know these great individuals.

In addition to these fun classes and activities, I was also able to sing in the ward choir. Through singing in the choir, I was able to meet other individuals in my ward and get to know them.

I had the great opportunity to attend the temple often. Although it wasn't as frequent as the summer semester, I still was able to attend a few times and feel the spirit of the temple. I have always been grateful to have the temple so close to me while I'm at school, and I will continue to feel that way.

As I made it home from the Fall semester, I was able to get started working on my website to help familiarize me to the Adobe CS4 Master Collection, which I may use as part of my internship at TiVo I was just accepted to.

As I made it home, I was up to my photographic self again. With a late winter, I was able to take some wonderful autumn photos of the trees. Then came the Christmas holiday. We had a fun time going through and opening up the presents, as well as labeling the presents .....especially dad! He seems to always find a way to have fun with it. :)

And now begins the dawn of a new year. The first 1 1/2 weeks have already had their challenges, from injuries, to sicknesses, to headaches. However, with challenges comes the blessings, and I foresee a year of wonderful experiences in the months to come.
