Going the Distance
I am so close to being done with my mission papers. Which means in a few weeks, if all goes well, I will be receiving my very own mission call! Until that time, however, I'm just waiting. Well, waiting and studying and working on everything else in my life. But, since I'm still waiting, now is a good time for people to predict where my call will take me. So... what do you think? Where am I going?

Viva la Vida
According to the weather.com bubble on my google homepage, it is currently 8 degrees Fahrenheit in Provo, with a windchill of -1. I'm pretty sure it was 80 at home yesterday. C'est la vie.

I'm also pretty sure it was three years ago tomorrow that I first arrived in Provo as a new freshman. Aubry, my roommate, was the first person I met. This morning, I received a letter from Aubry, who is on a mission in Rome. I also got a letter from Sister Jill Borg, who is serving in the Texas Dallas mission. Getting those letters in the mail I missed over the break was the highlight of today.

I'm supposed to be grading for physics 105 again this semester with a different professor... other differences include that I will only have 200something students (instead of 600something), and that there will be another grader for the class so I don't have to do everything by myself. The professor talked about meeting briefly with us tomorrow, but then never got back to me with a time or anything. So I'm not sure what I'll be doing there.

Christmas break was too short, but I loved seeing everybody. I especially loved the chance to see all my nieces and nephews. We'll see if any of them remember me in two years.

I still have a sinus infection, though, and no set schedule yet for the semester. I have to get up early tomorrow. I'm going to bed.
