First Day of School!



HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!  (At least for everyone that started today!)

Today was our first day of school... kinda.  So Dan has lots and lots of classes (17 credits) and I have one class and thesis credits.  So really it was only Dan's first day, mine is tomorrow.  But I will be working on my thesis this semester doing my research and finishing my plenum design!  Yay!  Go me!  But Dan has lots of classes he wants to take and he is also going to be working on his senior project this year, the rocket team.  This means I am going to be an engineering widow this semester.  This might be a good thing though cause it means I can get a lot done for my own stuff without feeling like I'm abandoning Dan.  But at the same time, we're not going to see each other except at night.  Here's a peak at our schedule for the semester.

So ya... we are never going to see each other!  Good thing we make dinner a date every night more or less!  But overall it should be a good semester!

Some of our goals for the semester include:
-Get better at doing FHE
-Exercising every day (or at least every other day)
-Get my research done and thesis started!
-Rock the rocket team!
-Have fun!
-Go on more dates
-Follow our budget more closely

I hope everyone has/had a great first day of classes!  I'm betting I'll enjoy my first day tomorrow!

August Update

So life has been pretty busy lately.  For the last month we've had trips and things to get done all before school starts.
To start the month off, we went on our honeymoon!  It was FANTASTIC!!!!  We stayed at this amazing little bed and breakfast in Parowan and loved every minute of it.  We went to two plays at the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, Music Man and Richard III.  We hiked in Cedar Breaks, Kanara Falls, and Zion NP.  And we just had a fantastic time!
We also moved!  We are so excited to be closer to campus!  We love our apartment even if it still isn't all together yet. 
I also got to go to a SWE (society of women engineers) event!  It was SO AMAZING!!!!  I went to Austin, TX for a few days to learn all about my region collegiate position that I have this year!  (I get to keep up a blog for the region and let them know what's going on and give advice!)  If you ever wanna read it, it's the Region B blog on the side! 
We also are trying to get as much work in as we can before school starts.  It's been a fantastic summer and we are sad that it is almost over but excited to start our last year at school here!
