Its Good to Be Back!

Hi Everyone! It feels so good to be back and writing once again... It was a long Christmas break but honestly it didn't feel long enough! Let me travel back in time and update you on previous events.

December 10-14 was finals week. I was super nervous for my first time ever, but it all worked out superb! I must have done really well because I was sitting at B's in two of my classes and they got bumped up to A-'s! And, best of all, I passed my Math class! I was in danger of getting a "D" because of my test scores becuase I really struggle in Math, it is definitely my hardest subject. But I studied really hard for the last test and the final and I must have done well because I got that wonderful "C" needed to move on to the next math class.

DID YOU KNOW...that goofiness reduces stress during finals week? Hahaha

December 15-January 7 was our Christmas Break. I got to visit with lots of family that came to see me, and I also got to catch up with friends, and I was really excited to see my best friend Chris. Since he works nights and I go to school full time our schedules don't match up sometimes, so it was nice to hang out with him! We even had a Madonna party. We have these custom made Madonna shirts, so we wore them and watched some of her classic movies "Desperately Seeking Susan" and "Who's That Girl?" It was so fun.

Here is me and Chris getting our "Vogue" on and showing off our custom made shirts at our Madonna Party

Christmas was especially fun--I got 3 seperate visits from my Grandma, then my Aunt Terri, Uncle Joe, and my CUTEST little cousin Tyler, and from my cousin Jennifer and her adorable babies Sophia and William. I love Sophie to pieces! I might be biased, but I think she is so adorable...same with William. He has the cutest smile. They only live in Cedar City so I get to see them more often than my other relatives, who much of which live in California. I had to work over the Holidays because the Movie Theater is open 365 days a year, but we got to have snacks and it was a relaxed atmosphere! I also chopped off about 5 inches of my hair :S but I ended up loving it.

January 7-January 11 was BACK TO SCHOOL! I'm so happy with my schedule and all my professors this semester. Everyone seems so funny and kind. There are lots of friends in my classes too so I know this will be an exciting close to my first year of college. Thats all for now...tonight all the Ambassadors are heading up to the Dixie State College Cabin in Pine Valley, UT for a little rest and relaxation. I'm so excited! Stay tuned at the bottom for pics of the ugly sweater party!

Love Always,

Amanda
