happy first day of school!

This morning I woke up and got all ready and excited for school.  I already had my backpack packed and ready so I wasn't even stressed about anything.  I even did my hair cute for my first day!
This is me, very excited for my first day at BYUI!
BUT.... (haha of course there is a but on this lovely day)
I decided to ride my bike to school, MUCH faster and better than walking I figured. 
So after struggling just a little bit to get it out of the dang storage closet I was on my way.  
I live at the bottom of a hill, so it was quite a steep climb to get to campus.
I thought I could handle it, but my little cruiser does not have gears.
I thought I was going to DIE.
I seriously considered getting off and walking my bike up the hill, it definitely would have been faster and much easier on my legs, but I was too embarrassed haha.
By the time I got to the top of the hill I almost considered ditching the bike altogether!
It was really cool outside, but I was fully sweating and pretty much could hardly catch my breath, I'm a little out of shape apparently.
FINALLY I found a nice little rack to park my bike at, then I went searching for the building I was supposed to go to.  I walked like nine miles out of the way and probably passed it a few times before I finally called Kayla and she gave me some good directions thank heavens! 
I was a few minutes late to my first class, and I got to sit in the front row all by myself haha.
But it was quite a success, and a large victory for me to even get there that I didn't even care.
And I learned how to write the alphabet in class.
Seriously though, I'm already achieving great things in college here.
