BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!!


WARNING!!!! THIS IS A LOT OF RANDOM BLOGGING.... I AM JUST REALLY EXCITED SO SKIP DOWN TO READ HERE TO GET THE CLIFF NOTES VERSION!!!!

I'm glad I am SO NOT dramatic! So I am back at BYU-Idaho. I don't hate it here, I just don't really love it. I know an education is good and I need one and blah blah blah. But I never really thought I was going to be able to finish. I first declared my major as Political Science upon returning back to this blessed University. After taking classes I was told I need to, that I really didn't. I realized I had a lot of credits... and I need to figure out a way to graduate. Ya know so I can do this....
But upon discovering that I had so many credits, I also discovered that Political Science was a useless degree for me. I needed to do business. So just change my major to Business Management right? WRONGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! It would have been easier to go to Mars than change my major to Business. So after weeks and weeks and weeks and countless hours trying to figure out what to do and what is possible and who to talk to and blah blah blah. I was so frustrated. Anyways, finally after hours of praying my prayers were finally answered. This blessed lady told me about this degree called University Studies. She explained that basically you make up your own degree. You choose a minor and two "clusters" (Clusters are basically like mini minors). After hearing about this degree I was determined to get this. She told me it was hard to be approved for this degree though. My dad continued to tell me that I can do whatever I want. If I want to get approved I will. So I did everything I needed to. I worked on this for hours, making sure that I could take each class during the times I needed to. I worked on it over and over and over and over and over again. I had it perfect. I knew it was perfect. I knew they would look and be amazed at how perfect I had it. I wrote my letter why I deserve to be accepted and set up my appointment to go talk to the President of the University Studies Department. I called my Dad and read him my letter before I went. I told him I was staying in this man's office until I got accepted. I had it figured out that I could graduate in 2 semesters. Although the only problem was that I needed to get accepted to FAST GRAD which allows me to go to school in the fall because that is when my "summer" is. Also... I need to register for classes on next Friday. So this all had to get done before this weekend. So... here is how it went...

OK EVERYONE START READING HERE......

I had my meeting with the President of University Studies. I waited for him for over an hour. He read over my case and looked at my plan. After 20 minutes he said that he hadn't seen someone more perfect for this degree. He signed it and knew of my urgency. He promised that as soon as the lady got back from lunch that also needed to sign it he would have her sign and walk it straight down so my fast grad could be approved. An hour later I checked my e-mail. Both had already been sent through. Both Approved. As I was walking out of Pres. Tibbits office I turned around and shook his hand, I told him I was really grateful for everything and this was the BEST DAY EVER!!! He was suprised that by being apporved of a degree change it would make me so happy. I explained how much time and effort I have put into this. So by changing my degree and going on FAST GRAD I hopefully, if everything goes according to my well planned out plan I should graduate in April 8, 2011. That is in about 40 weeks... but who's counting....

Oh wait.... This girl is....

If you can't tell by the look on my face... I am really REALLY excited to graduate from college. (This picture was actually from when I got my flip... but whatev!) However, the next 2 semester will be incredibly challenging, but let's be honest with ourselves shall we? I work my best when under pressure. So wish me luck. Starting September 9th I will most likely be MIA and by MIA I mean hidden during homework.... See you in April:) haha
