"It's All Going to be Ok"

Today: day two of classes at BYU. It was pretty good. Today was a much longer day than yesterday. I got up at 7 and got ready and left by 8:15. I have weightlifting at 9 and it's quiet a walk to I have to give myself enough time to get to campus. Good news...we had a teacher today!! He's this big buff guy and he comes in and you can tell that he's trying to be kind of intimidating and I'm thinking whatever dude stop with the act. So I talked to him a little and asked about crossfit and if he knew anything about anyone doing it on campus and he gave me the same response that everyone else has..."no one does it here but there's one in Orem and in Provo." THANK YOU!! I AM AWARE THAT THERE IS ONE IN PROVO!! IF I WANTED TO GO TO THAT ONE I WOULDN'T BE ASKING!!! Anyway he told me that he doesn't believe in crossfit but that if I wanted to I could do my own work outs during class. So we'll see how that goes.
I also had my Book of Mormon class today. I really liked it I think that it might end up being my favorite class. I'm in the return missionary class. That's kind of weird for me because I by no means consider myself a master of the scriptures. I think that I'm really going to learn a lot though. It's so much better than seminary!!!! Bro Smith (my BOM teacher) told us a story today of a freshman that he had who was a little bit overwhelmed with starting college and getting into all these hard classes and he said that the kid's screensaver was this repeating message of "It's going to be ok it's going to be ok it's going to be ok". So that's what I kept telling myself today as we jumped into my harder classes...it's going to be ok!
I also started my music 101 class today. My schedule is sort of weird on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have weightlifting at 9-10, BOM from 12-2, and then music is from 4-6:30. It is the longest class of my entire life!!!! And we got out early today....oh my gosh!!! It's going to be interesting. I do have some friends in that class though which helps. Jessica Young is there with me and another guy from Wyview is there. He's a ginger and super funny and I think that we're going to have a good time.
I also did my first workout today on my own. I miss my hometown box so much!!! :( it's all I could think about when I was working out. You can't have headphones in if you're working with free weights so I was thinking a lot while I was working out. The gym kinda sucks and it's disappointing. Before I left I was totally turning a corner with my crossfit workouts and I was doing really good and getting a lot stronger. I feel like being here and not having that many resources that I'm either going to stay where I am now or go backwards and get worse. It just kinda sucks. But I'm doing the best I can with that..."it's going to be ok".
Well I better get to studying. Hope all is well!!
