Fall Already?!?

Okay, I really will try to do better about blogging this time. I know I'm bad about it. So here's what's happened since the last time I blogged. I went to the beach with my parents and siblings, which was pretty amazing. Oh, the days of warmth and sunshine! I miss them already. That was a lot of fun.
Oh, how I miss the beach! Maybe someday I'll just move to someplace warm and sunny with a beach nearby. I know that probably won't happen, but it doesn't hurt to dream, does it? Anyways, after that, I started watching 24, and I discovered that I absolutely love that show. That pretty much took up the rest of my summer. I got through six seasons in not very much time, because I was so anxious to discover what Jack Bauer would do next to save America. Of course, I had to stop watching TV so much because it was time for me to come back out to school. I'm in a new apartment this year, and I love it. We have a washer/drying in the apartment, which is way nice, and we're slightly closer to campus than we were last year, which is also a plus. And we have a ton of space. Apparently the bedrooms were originally built to hold three people each, but fortunately, they decided that there should only be two to a room, which gives us a lot of space, which is great. My sister wants me to eventually take pictures, so I suppose that I'll get around to doing that at some point in time. My classes are all going really well. I love my English classes, as usual. My French class is a little difficult, since we're learning really obscure concepts in French grammar that we never even knew existed in previous French classes, but it's all good. I've also been going to all of the home football games. I actually had front row seats for the Utah game, so that was pretty fun, except for the fact that BYU lost. But I could see where President Uchtdorf was standing when he came for part of the game, because that wasn't way too far away, and Jimmer Fredette was within about 5 yards of me. And, of course, I had a great view of the slaughter taking place on the field, especially as quite a bit of Utah's scoring came during the quarters in which they were coming toward the end zone in which I was sitting.
Other than that, I've been studying like crazy! And fall kind of snuck up on me. One day it was late summer kind of weather, and then we had a week of winter (yes, including snow, although that didn't stick, thank goodness!) and now it's actually fall!
