I have officially been on my own for almost 2 weeks now, it's pretty weird. This past weekend was pretty rough for me. I started feeling pretty crappy the beginning of last week, and by Friday I had a fever and had lost my voice, i seem to always get it in my throat i could barely swollow all weekend then I guess my body decided i should get the stomach flu too on saturday...that was just so much fun! I sat on the couch and did homework and watched shows on the internet for like 3 days straight, it was great! I found out today that i have bronchitis, thank goodness for student medical insurance! Hopefully i can get better soon. I still sound like crap but feeling a lot better, i should probably get more sleep then i have been. Karly was such a sweetheart and brought me some crackers, sprite and tea, it was nice to have somebody there that cared enough to do that for me. It's been so much fun having her up here with me and getting to hang out with her.
If there is one thing that i have learned so far from college life is not to take anything for granted. There are so many times where I will just think about how much i took certain things for granted. I hated being sick without my mom there to take care of me, i don't like making food all of the time and making sure that i am eating right, i don't like having to go grocery shopping for myself, i don't like having to pay for things with my money, i don't like going to bed everynight without saying goodnight to my mom and dad. There are just so many things that i wish i hadn't taken so much for granted. Thank you so much mom and dad for all that you do for me.
I think my testimony of the Gospel has grown so much in just two weeks. I have started the Book of Mormon over because i'm taking the class and i figured this was a good time to. It's funny how certain things will pop out to you at certain times in your life that you didn't realize the last time you read it. At first i thought it was weird that we prayed before every class, but i've realized that it really does change the way of the lessons and that it does give it a better feeling. We have been studying different pictures of the Savior in my art class and it's totally cool to learn the backround behind each painting and see the differences in them. Even in my math class the gospel is brought into lessons. I'm enjoying my Book of Mormon class a lot, not going to lie, in seminary i never really listened but i have already learned so much. I'm grateful for brothers and a dad who are worthy priesthood holders, I'm so grateful that the Lord has provided this university for people like me, who didn't know i needed it until i was here. I KNOW the gospel is true.
I miss you all so very much, I think about you and pray for you every morning and night. Thank you for your prayers, I really do feel them.

Thinking about oldies, "you don't know what you got til it's gone..." is so true when you are on your own, huh? But your mom and dad miss you just as much. When another kid leaves, another hole in your life...lucky for us that school is not year round. I will think about you when i go to bball tomorrow...get signed up for an inter mural league...and go kick some booty for me. Janna
