The summer has been going, going, going...

Since getting accepted to the BYU, I have been somewhat busy getting things ready for the upcoming semester. I had to take two online classes and pass two proficiency exams by July 1st before my provisional acceptance was changed to full acceptance and I was able to actually register. The courses were in financial accounting and quantitative methods (statistics), neither of which I have ever had classes in. They were brain-melting, but I made it through them.

I ordered and received almost all of my books. They were $450 new from the bookstore and I got them online for about $250. All of the first-year MBAs take all of the same core classes. The MBA office locks the classes from others registering, assigns you one of 3 sections, and then unlocks the classes into 3 "envelopes" or groups. I thought all of the sections were the same, just in different orders and with different teachers, meeting from 8-4:15. It turns out the first two sections meet from 8-4:15, but the third section, my section, meets from 9:30-4:45. I don't have to go to school until 9:30!!! YAY!!! This really is the Lord's University. :) tee hee

I have a very large room in my house in Salt Lake full of furniture I can't take fit into my small room in Provo. It wasn't worth it to me to pay $50/month = $1200+ for two years to store it, so I decided to sell them in craig's list. I sold the table of Saturday and the couch today. Yay! I bought a great desk for my new room but need to give it a refinish. It's not gorgeous, but it will do. I will post before and after pictures.

The end of May, Lindsay and I took a trip to DC. It was a lot of fun and I'm really glad we went when we did. We stayed with a friend and didn't have to pay for hotels. Lindsay and I walked every where and saw everything. We were die hard.

This is the WWII memorial. It was gorgeous.

If you were a president, you would be Babe-raham Lincoln.

It's really hard to resist a man in uniform.

Even a 195-year-old civil war veteran can be pretty hot.

Me and Jefferson Davis.

We saw some great museums, but had to wait sometimes. Lindsay met up with some boring people.

But this guy was a crack up.

This is the Apollo 11 landing module.

My grandfather served in WWII as a Seabee. We definitely wanted a picture with the Arlington Cemetery monument to the Seabees.

We went to a memorial day memorial to fallen soldiers in an amphitheatre in the cemetery.

Brother Obama spoke at the fireside, I mean, memorial. We took this picture with a small, civilian camera. He was right there, I could have thrown an apple at him and hit him in the face and probably served time in a penitentiary.

Seeing cool things and looking like tourists on our tour bus.
