I should be studying....

But instead I'll give you all a quick update!! School is crazy! The first three weeks I had no homework. None. My dad would come home from work and be like "shouldn't you be doing something?" But I really had nothing to do. After my first weather discussion in front of the department however, it has been nonstop. Assignment after assignment and this week I have 3 tests in 2 days! Ugh...I really should be studying but I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around working so hard. But after Thursday it will be Fall Break and things will finally calm down.

And today I began applying for graduation!!!!! Oh to be done! I can't wait! Yes I took the GRE this summer with the idea that maybe I'd go to grad school but I think a year off will do me good. I cannot even comprehend going to school for another day let alone another 2 years. I want that diploma in my hand and say goodbye to school forever!

That's how I feel today anyway. But yep, all that's left is for someone in the business department to sign off on minor and I will be on the track to graduate next May.

In other exciting Oliver family news......

JOSH IS GOING ON A MISSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot even begin to put into words how excited I am for my brother and how proud of him I am! I know that we will be blessed so much because of his decision and that we will grow so much closer as a family. My dad will have a hard time saying goodbye to his favorite son for two years so we'll all have to be sure to give him some extra love, but he too is proud of Josh. The mission call gets here on Wednesday which is a miracle in and of itself. I was so scared that because of General Conference, my brother's call may have come while I was in California for Fall Break. But it's coming on Wednesday! and we're waiting until Thursday night to open it since my dad and Miranda have to work on Wednesday. I'll be sure to let everyone know where he is going!

Oh I just want to know now!!!!!!
