So I don't know about you...but at BYU I sort of assumed that everyone who isn't LDS likes to drink alcohol. This is a fairly safe assumption. What I didn't realize was HOW much they TALK about it. And cuss. And other stuff, too. But mostly they focus on the drinking. For reals, I know assuming things is not the best idea...but when it comes to the world, you're probably safe. To put it in perspective, think about how much you talk about the gospel in a day. Now times that by a bajillion, and you probably have a low estimate.
But I have a co-worker who goes to UVU so I can at least on occasion whip out the good old LDS terms like "ward" and "FHE". Hurray!
Besides that, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being here! This really is the best decision I have ever made! {Minus gospel related things aka getting baptized, doing my family history, etc.} I love my roommates, especially Katey. We've known each other three weeks and I'm convinced we knew each other in the pre-existence.
I've decided that what I want to do for the rest of my life is bake people cookies and listen to their problems {or successes}. No, no, I don't want to counsel them like a psychiatrist or anything. Basically, I want to be a mom. Or a super awesome Visiting Teacher. Hopefully both.
Haha, I've had that mindset about nonmembers too
ReplyDeleteand what do Katey and I have in common? I like the spelling of the name, btw.
