I think I might be going crazy!

I thought I had a lot to do back home! And now that I'm here, I feel like I have even MORE to do! AHH!!!! I'm going crazy! I just wish I could skip the school part of my trip and just have fun!

Actually, it's nice being in school. It's just a little intense since we're trying to pack most of our classes in before we leave, so we don't have to do as much when we get down there.

I'm taking Field Biology and Anthropology/Sociology. I am excited about my bio class because I HATE science, and yet I the one class I have to take to fulfill my general education requirement gets to be taken on a trip! I don't think I could have found a better way to take that class. Our teacher is pretty funny. But even though he's funny, he hasn't made me change my mind about science.

He started teaching us about evolution. He warned us at the beginning of the class that he would. He said that we should have an open mind and remember that those within the church have their own opinions for and against evolution. I was kind of taken aback because I thought evolution was wrong and that we, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, don't believe in it. But I guess not. So, we discussed this topic for a while yesterday and today, probably a total of four hours. And I haven't changed my mind. In fact, I am a little annoyed at some of the things my peers have said. It's almost like they are pulling ideas out of thin air and making stuff up. I'm just glad that I'm not going into science. I would probably be highly annoyed and frustrated in that field.

My anthro/soc class is interesting. It's just a LOT of work! And when I say a lot, I'm not kidding. It's only 2 credits, and we have 10 times as much work in that class than in my 4 credit bio class. Imagine that! The teacher is awesome, but she gives lots of work. I love her though, and she definitely knows her stuff!

I leave in about a week, and Corey does too! It's crazy that my brother's time in the MTC is almost up! I do miss him! I wish he could be going to Mexico with me. There are two girls who are going on the tour, and they are sisters. How fun would that be!

Also, I won't have a phone while I'm in Mexico. So from April 26-May 27, the only way to get a hold of me would be through facebook or e-mail.

I am seriously loving life right now! Things are so great! Even with the curve balls!
