You have a situation room? That's awesome. And you have blood drives. I guess you've got 80 good resources. Who does it? And the people who teach the gym classes...are those just students who like to do yoga so they lead a group or are those paid teachers who also teach Modern Near Eastern Studies?
ReplyDeleteLisa, I am FINALLY taking the time to catch up on your blogity-blog. (Kinda busy week around here.) Thank you for posting a schedule. Very interesting! What a great time you're having.
ReplyDeleteHi lisa,
ReplyDeleteSince it sounds like you don't have anything to do, maybe you could help Mom rebuid the house.

Love Dad
I am worn out just reading your schedule! I think BYU is giving you bang for your buck.
ReplyDeleteOh my....when do you have time to sleep? No wonder you have a hard time fitting in blogging. I'm so glad you do though. What a blast. Rigorous school schedule though.
