It may be small, but it sure is pretty.

It has been several days since our last update, so I feel obliged to enlighten the rest of you as to our goings on. Not to be outdone by my husband, of course.

I am in the throws of school. This one class of mine (which for the sake of anonymity I will call W. Resources...no wait, that's too obvious...I'll call it Water R.) is very tricky. I live in mortal dread that I will be called on and be forced to fess up that I simply do not know. For the first time in my education career, I have read every page of assigned material, and I still feel like I am lagging behind. This feeling is quite new to me, and although it is altogether distressing, I do feel like I am being challenged for the first time since SES, and who knows how long before then. Maybe it just took learning what I was really meant to learn about to awaken this very studious student in me. But still, I don't like feeling stupid.

Jake and I are starting to make some friends, which is due in most part, to the shocking amount of church members in my program. Of the small admitted class of twenty-four, four of us are members of the church, which leads to nice built-in friendships. It certainly is nice to have a few people you know, something I didn't really have as an undergraduate, since my attitude was pretty much, "get it, get out, and take no prisoners". It worked just fine for me then. However, since Jake keeps prattling on about this blossoming new wife he has, I should at least try to live up to it.

In conclusion: school is hard and getting harder, but people are nice and getting nicer.

We are actively missing everyone, so no one need feel left out.

And the picture is my campus: you might be thinking, Oh, what a lovely little part of campus...No, that's pretty much all of it!
