What the heck is going on!

Seriously universe?? You are amazing!!

Let me preface this email with my day today. I am taking a snowboarding class and successfully performed my first 180 switch ride today. Yeahhhh. Oh, and our friend Justin made this radical video for us for our Amazing Race application which you can watch on facebook.

Like seriously I have been more accepted in the past month than probably my entire life combined.
You may need to brush up on my previous post but money just started raining in on us last month like manna from heaven. Not that we have an excess of money, we actually just barely got by last month including all the wonderful grants we received.
This week, not so much money oriented just way weirdy. One professor nominated me as an "outstanding student" in the Sociology department and so now I am going to like this conference to speak to a bunch of affluent people (including several general authorities!!) on my experience at BYU and the research I have been doing. They also asked me to give the opening prayer. HAHA. Outstanding student? Really? I will have you know that my GPA in high school was like a 2.9 or something. Seriously. Now its almost a full integer higher.
Next, another professor nominated me for what is called the "President's Leadership Counsel" where basically I meet once a month with the President of BYU (Cecil L Samuelson..) and other people who have donated lots of money to BYU and will now be my "mentors" whatever that means. There were only 10 other students out of all of BYU that were accepted from the nominations received.

Hahahahaha. I just can't stop thinking thats funny. And exciting! Feels good not to be the dumb one anymore.

So, hopefully our luck will continue and we can get on the Amazing Race. Watch ouuutt.


Oh yeah, and we MIGHT have just scored an apartment way closer to campus and $100 less a month.
