Winter is so not in anymore.

Ok so I will tell you the good news first....I made it to the library in one piece.
There are some ridiculous winds outside and I have been fighting all morning just to make it to each class whilst trying to walk relatively normally. Along with this it keeps randomly snowing....it is becoming quite boring now....xia tai duo xue. It has also been raining on and off a little bit which sucks because it is freezing! Sometimes though it will reach around 5 degrees and I will begin to enjoy winter again, but other than that it is way too cold for way too long here!
The winter blues appeared to have officially taken over most of campus....bring on spring and summer....wo kuaiyao fang xiajia le. Sorry I have been learning about the weather and seasons in Chinese so I am trying to apply it!
Basically American Heritage sucks....I know nothing and the teacher rambles on using terms that any american would know but me....no clue!! Biology....so boring and just horrible. I'm not even really enjoying my English class which sucks. I am contemplating changing my major and this class has helped pushed me into wanting to change. I still love the texts we study and over the past two years I have definitely become more of a poetry fan...but I don't think English Literature is what I want to end up having a degree in....any ideas for what I should major in???
Anyway on the other hand....I love my BoM class and Chinese (even though it is almost killing me) which is good as at the moment I would say these are the two classes I actually care about most in my life.
Oh byu have also changed the semesters now so they are trying to squeeze 16 weeks into 14 weeks....it just means constant stress throughout the semester for teachers and students. I am just constantly doing homework and studying for exams...but I really don't have time for everything and as everyone is stressed our apartment atmosphere has suffered a little....I can honestly say that I cannot wait for this semesters classes to be over!!!
But of course even with our hectic schedules we still make a little room for fun :-p But really my social life this semester has significantly declined :-( I need more days in the week!!
I can really see how lucky I was to have had amazing classes last semester. Oh well.....WHATEVER.
Even though I am not enjoying my classes as much this semester I am still loving being here as I love my friends and I am still meeting so many new and amazing people which is very cool. So please do not get me wrong.....I would not change where I am for anything...or the experiences I am having....it's just my classes :-(

To prove that I am still having the time of my life I will post some pictures on here later!! :-D

That wasn't me, it was Dad. Don't do IT! Also, if you do law, will it be American law? You may never come home!!!
