Almost Over

So this is the last week for our regular schedule for our basket ball team. While it will be sad not to see all of my girls as much, it is time for our season to be over. Four months is a long time to have practices and games. Plus now I will be able to get a second job, which will definitely help with the paying back of student loans issue.
I am really excited, this week I get to go to the Draper Temple Open House with my friend John. I am way excited, the last open house I went to was the Rexburg one over a year ago. It is always an exciting thing to be able to go with others to see the temple and know that in just a short time they will be used to help those who cannot help themselves.
I am also taking an institute class on the teachings of the living prophets. I love getting to learn more about our apostles and prophet and learn more of their teachings for us. I took the same class back at BYU-Idaho, but we have some new apostles since then, and it is always fun to read their talks to us after each conference. My conference issue of the Ensign is always marked up and all written on because that is the best way I have found to record my feelings and the inspiration that I get when I read the talks.
Another fun thing coming up is that I get to go home in two weeks! I am so excited! I would have to say that I really don't like living in Utah very much, the water and air stink and the drivers are crazy! So I enjoy getting to go home and see my family and hopefully some of my friendsthat are still there. I am very excited to get to go home, if you couldn't tell. I enjoy getting to spend some time back in Idaho, land of the potatoes. So soon I will be back there.
Another tid bit of info, I am applying to graduate school for political science. I am applying at the University of Utah and Boise State. I hope I get in to at least one of them and at this point I would enjoy going home to Idaho and going to school in Boise. That way I can at least I can see my mom more often when she comes over for meetings. I am excited to get back into politics. I have missed them a lot and I am looking forward to working with the state level of government. I don't think I would like living back east very much and local government is a little too mundane for my likings. So wish me luck on this new adventure!
