For fall break I got to go to San Fransisco and it was absolutely great. I loved the little houses, the colors they were painted, the STEEP narrow streets, the cliffs over looking the ocean, the city, shopping... everything. I have some pictures but my camera died on saturday (of course!) so until Sian or Holly send me pictures I only have them from Friday.

It's been a while. . .

I know it's been a while (a long while) since I last updated. So, I'll give you an a brieft synopsis of of what I've been doing.

School:
School started about 1 1/2 months ago. It's been going extremely well. I love most of my classes, and all my professors are great. I've been doing tons of group projects which mean late nights at the lib (mostly cause we start talking about random things and have a hard time getting our work done.) My group for Research Methods had a great experience the other night. We finished section 2 of our paper at 11:30 and had to run to the Family Life building to slide it under our professor's office door. We got to Family Life, the door was unlocked, and we got it turned in. As we were walking back out of the building the janitor was locking the door. . . Now this doesn't seem like that great of an experience, but considering that if the door had been locked one of us would have had to wake up at 4:00 a.m. when the janitors arrived the next morning to turn it in. We were thanking our lucky stars that night...
Not much else has been happening, at least not that I can remember right now.
Church:
I'm on the stake activities committee. It's a pretty low key job, which is great. . .That's all.
Social Life:
I don't really have one. ha ha. Pretty much my roommates and I all just hang out with each other and with the girls down stairs (who were the girls next door last year- who we love.) We don't meet new people cause we all get along so well that we don't need anyone else. It's great. :)
Other:
I dyed my hair. OK, technically I didn't but my friend Lindsay's roommate did. It's dark brown (again) with kind of a reddish, purplish tint. Sometimes, in the sunlight, more red than brown. My mother doesn't like it. Neither do my brothers. Zack's exact words were "Nicole, your hair is ugly!" When I asked Taigen if he liked it, he looked at me like I was crazy and shook his head 'no,' and Porter was nice enough to inform me that I should dye it back. Anyway, there are people that do like it, for example: my roommates, Kristy, Rich, and the girls downstairs. So, I guess you'll have to decide for yourself when you see it. (sorry, I don't have any pictures.)

And, there's a very brief update for you all.

p.s. I'll be in San Fransisco in exactly one week! YAY! (i love you sian)
