Sidewalk chalk and other new adventures

Whew!! It has been crazy here living the college life and it's sooo crazy to think that i have one semester of college already done. Time goes by so fast!! I've gotten right into the swing of things here and honestly i love it.  The school load is definitely harder this semester and i'm not enjoying it as much as I did last semester but i have a feeling it will get better from here.  Spring is honestly my absolute FAVORITE season and it actually is so much fun going to school in the nice sunny weather rather than the dreary cold stuff that I always went to school in my whole life.  One of my favorite things is just walking around campus from class to class in the beautiful weather:]
My new roommates are AWESOME!! I love them.  We all have so much in common but are still so different that it makes things exciting and they're all so sweet.  It's great. And i also love how every Sunday we invite someone new over for dinner! might I say it is a great way to meet guys AND show off your cooking skills to make you look even that much more desirable?!? hahaah;)
So i cut someone's hair for the first time the other week and ya know what?? it turned out ok. yes I did cut his neck with the dull buzzer....and it was a bit shorter than planned BUT he eventually has gotten many complements on it since.  We also ended up dying it because it was this nasty orange-blonde and people asked him if he was German and i guess that was all he could take. So now at college I'm known as the girl who cooks, sews with a specialty in sewing units, and now I give free haircuts(if you're desperate that is). 
So among all new roommates, new classes, new semester, i decided to try something else new. I volunteered to teach sunday school.  Might i ask how insane i must have been to VOLUNTEER?? first of all i have never taught sunday school before in my life, second, sunday school at a college ward is like 1/3 of your whole ward, and half of them are returned missionaries who know a whole lot about teaching the gospel.  Intimidation overcame me the closer it came to Sunday. Once i prepared and Sunday came around though i was actually excited to teach! with a little anxiety sprinkled somewhere among those emotions.  The end result?? satisfaction.  It actually went really well and i was able to recruit quite a few new friends to come and participate, not to mention my ever so willing roommates:)  It turned out great and i had many people tell me i did well.  Even though i enjoyed it I don't think i could handle the stress of preparing for sunday school for 4 hours every Saturday and when i went into an interview i was wondering if this was what my future would look like.  Instead i got the exciting news of being in the Relief Society presidency as the Secretary.  I absolutely love the girls and so this calling brought a huge smile to my face!  Life is great and i bet it just continues to get better.
