People!!!

so, here i am!!! in case all of you were wondering where I went. Have no fear, I was here all along. So quick low down on the life of Julie Call....single, working, and going to school.
I love BYU! It has been quite an experience here so far. It is hard but I think I can handle it.
So I guess I will start with the singleness, yes I am. I have been asked for my number a few times, but it always seems that they never use it. So the next time I am asked for my number I am pretty sure I am just going to say "I'm sorry, I forgot it." or something with that same effect. how do you think that will go over? ha. It has been good to get back in touch with old friends. I didn't realize how the Provo bubble really does affect relationships. I almost never hang out with my friends from Springville (or Idaho, I suppose) anymore. It is really cool to see where everyone is in life now.
Work. I work at the Counseling and Career Center in the Wilk. My department is more specifically the Career Center and Academic Success Center, I am a paraprofessional for one of the counsellors there. Basically I love it! I have even considered changing my major, or double majoring. I would love to be a career counselor or an academic counsellor at a high school. I was looking it up a while back, it is going to be a lot of work. But I think that being a history major was kind of a dead end. I really would like to publish some of my own theories on history. But until I can do that, I think I will look into a counselling job. If you have any suggestions let me know.
School. Well, I kind of covered it in the work section but more specifically. I am in a history of Spain class right now, and it is so awesome. I need to learn some spanish but despite that, this is one of my favorite classes this semester. I am also in two dance classes; dance 260 and dance 180. 260 is the history of dance (which is only interesting because I am a history major, otherwise, I am positive that modern dance is NOT my favorite, but meh who knows maybe I havent been out much). 180 is a social dance, haha and by that I mean I am socializing with kids a foot shorter than me and two years younger than myself. yup AWKWARD! However, it is a really fun class, I am always happy after I leave it because it is not impossible to dance, just challenging. I am also in History 221, oh the bane of my exhistance! I am pretty sure this is a rediculous class, or maybe it is the teacher? anywho next class, I am also in a survey of world religions class, *Doreen, thank you so so so much for your notes, I have no idea what the heck he is saying. yup my teacher is from korea, and I have such a hard time understanding the words coming out of his mouth. Pretty sure if I didnt have Doreen's notes to follow I would not be doing so well....Doreen, is that right? <- inside joke you would have to have him as a teacher to understand. haha I counted 50 'is that right' in just thirty minutes of class. He is still a way cool teacher, very funny, so dont think I am dissing on him.
Yup well that is my life so far. school, work, handing out numbers. I will definately make a better attempt at writing more often to let y'all know what is going on.
Family, I love you all and miss you!

I thought you threw away or lost those notes! Good for you for finding their true value. Dr. Choi was one of my favorite teachers because he was so funny and so dang hard to understand. He kept me awake in his class b/c I tried listening so intensely while trying to understand what he was saying. Maybe his accent is just a fake--he just wants students to stay awake so he throws us this accent curve ball to make things REALLY interesting...is that right. Hope things are going well for you out there at BYU!
