Insects

Every Wednesday I have a biology lab and I have got to do some fun things in this lab. One thing is that I dissected a squid. I also held a millepede. A hard thing to do, but fun also. Another thing that I have held is a hissing cockroach. I wasn't wanting to hold these things, but I decided to get over my fears and hold them anyways. Did you know that it is only really centipedes that are dangerous not the millepedes. Some millepedes do let a cynide gas out, but there are some that are dangerous like the one I held. Centipedes have pinchers(fanglike) that are by their legs and poison comes out of this. They are on their sides. Learning and trying new things is fun.

Blessings

Lately I have realized how many blessings I have. I have family, friends, food to eat, and many more things, when others don't have as much as I do. I am learning more and more about the way our bodies work in my biology class. It is amazing that our heart which is the size of two fists makes it so that we are alive along with the other systems in our bodies. We need so much physically and also spiritually. I am grateful for the blessing that our loving heavenly father gives us. While reading in the ensign for this month I was reminded of the many blessings we are given from Christ. He died and was ressurected just for us. He paid the price so that we can repent, forgive, have eternal life, and so many other things. I am realizing more and more lately that the lord can do this for us. We must ask in faith and do our part and he will help us.
I may not know exactly what the future will hold for me right now, but the lord will guide me as I go to him. Have a good week.

Here are some pictures from a date that was on the 23rd of this month. We did a mystery murder game it was so fun.

Nature

Recently I noticed the unique designs of snowflakes. I had on some black gloves and I enjoyed watching the snowflakes fall onto my glove so I could observe them. It is amazing that this comes from water(moisture) evaporating into the air and going to the sky where it then freezes and is converted to snowflakes. I just love to learn about nature.

USU adventures

The last few weeks have been fun and interesting. I move to Logan a week and half ago. It was funny though. I got lost three times though. I missed the exit I need so I had to ask for directions. It has been fun going to school in Logan. It is a lot bigger than Vernal and Ephraim. I like it despite its largeness and it being the winter.

USU

So on the 12 of January I went to my first USU basketball game. It was fun. I learned the school song.

It is:

Show me the Scotsman who doesn't love the thistle, show me the Englishman who doesn't love the rose, show me the true blooded aggie from Utah, who doesn't love the spot where the sage brush grows. Show me the Scotsman who doesn't love the thistle, show me the Englishman who doesn't love the rose,show me the true blooded aggie from Utah, who doesn't love the spot where the sage brush grows.

It was fun singing and doing the actions. Well until next time.
