Hello everyone!
Most of the time I forget I live in Utah. College becomes its own little world and you forget what's out there. Happy October! It truly is my favorite month, and this year, I should hopefully not have to worry about it snowing. I have good intentions of blogging regularly, but assignments and procrastination get in the way. Here's a small recap of my first month of college:
I saw this magical dance concert required for my tap class. There was a caberet piece that blew my mind. The concert was comprised of pieces performed by all of the BYU dance ensembles. The concert left me again longing that I was a ballerina.
A few Fridays ago I went to see my bcf Maddie cheer at her homecoming game. There's nothing quite like Friday night lights.
(ignore my ridiculous face and focus on the majesty of the coat)
The following Saturday morning I found myself up at 8 am to go to a yard sale called the Collective that exceeded my expectations. I came back with Mindy Gledhill's tea chest, a perfect grey vintage coat, a floral romper, bow, and ring. I celebrated my success with breakfast at Guru's.
Not having class until 4 pm on Fridays makes for prime opportunities to go to the Provo temple, where I was in and out in two hours.
A new exhibit went up in the HFAC (Harris Fine Arts Center)
The leaves are turning and it is magnificent!
One Friday night I decided to hike the Y for the first time. It's about two miles straight up the mountain. The view on top of the Y is beautiful, and since I was there at night I could see the whole city as well as the stars. I'll hike it again before it snows, and this time with other people.
I got to spend time with these munchkins and saw Finding Nemo 3-D. I love, love living close to them!
I had to write a 7 1/2 minute play for my theater class. I wrote a story based on my grandfather. An elderly man with dementia who recently lost his wife has to relearn that she has passed away. It's a tragic but sweet story and I'm really proud of it!
I finally got to see the exhibit at the Museum of Art. It was a brief walk through, but I love the focus BYU has put on learning about Islamic culture. I recently read and saw a play called A Second Birth that is based on the culture in Afghanistan.
Last Friday night's football game against Hawaii was a blast since I got to sit by my friend Michael in a section right up close to the end zone. Also, getting on the jumbotron and winning 47-0 made it the best game yet!
I have plans to post sooner than later. Life is swell and I have 17 days left of being 18 before I turn 19!
Love,
Megan Marie
