Before and After
This week I decided that the whole family was looking pretty hairy so I set up a few appointments to see what I could do about it. Several of us ended up looking pretty different from before. Here are some of the results

Club Fair
This week student government sponsored a club fair.
We scheduled the fair for Tuesday and Wednesday evenings between the two evening classes.
All of the clubs at the Brigham city campus participated. We set up tables in the student lounge of the classroom center and the clubs each had posters to publicize what they are all about and sign up sheets for anyone interested in joining. They were also just there to let our students know about the clubs and answer any questions. I made a poster complete with pictures from past activities to let our students know what student government is all about.
Our campus is growing and changing and I thought that a lot of our students didn't know about the clubs so I hope the fair got the word out to everyone. We currently have the following clubs at the Brigham City campus:
FATE (for engineering students)
IDEA (for parents with children)
LDSSA (for Latter-day Saint students)
and we are in the process of organizing a club for re-entry students.
We had a little bit of a competition between the clubs to see which one could sign up the most new members and the FATE club was the winner.
I'll try and add some pictures later.

Snow Day
Sunday when I was posting the last entry on my blog I was thinking about how unpredictable the weather can be at this time of the year.
It proved my point on Tuesday.
Because Monday was Presidents Day, all of the Monday classes were moved to Tuesday, which could mess you up if you are not paying attention. I had a meeting at the Brigham City campus at 12:30 on Tuesday so I drove down at noon and then just stayed until my classes which started at 5:15. By the time my last class ended at 10:30 I had about 9 inches of snow on top of my car. With the weather behaving that way I think there may have been at least a few people who looked out their window and said "no, way am I driving to school in this." So the end result for me was that I was the only student who was there in one of my classes . It is actually a fairly small class anyway. (That is one of the things I like about the Brigham City Campus, with small classes you get a lot more personal attention.) So, my favorite teacher this week is Dr. Christopher Johnson who still went ahead and held a class just for me although he could have just gone home at a sane hour and told me to read the chapter in the text book! I actually have two psychology classes this semester with Dr. Johnson who teaches distance education classes from the Snow College Campus. The class of one was really fun, it seemed as much like a conversation as it did a lecture. Thanks, Dr. Johnson!
On the downside, I got home to find that the snowplow had blasted my Suburban so hard that it broke two windows and filled one side of it with snow and glass. I didn't think we were parked too close to the road; we measured it and the plow had to throw the snow 33 feet to hit my Suburban. My Hubby called the County the next morning and I think they are going to pay for the damage.

Valentine's Day
OK, so I realize that it is not spring yet, but I'm tired of winter so I'm hoping. The weather this time of year is always so strange and unpredictable. I took the following two pictures on Valentines Day, The first in my front yard, the second in my backyard.
These are hyacinths, they are my favorite flowers coming up already. I can't wait until they bloom. They are near my front door and I can smell them from my front porch.
So, I was not a very good Mom for Valentines Day. I didn't get up and make heart shaped pancakes with strawberry syrup for my family for breakfast. I just slept in until 9:00. When I did get up here is what I spent my Valentines day doing:
I watched a movie and tied a baby quilt with my Mom in the morning.
I took my girls and my Mom to see a play at our local high school. It was "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown," and they did a great job of it. I love going to plays, and we had a lot of fun.
For dinner, my hubby made pork chops with a port wine reduction and apple chutney which was really good. He had tried it in a restaurant while on a business trip and recreated it at home for us. At my oldest daughters request we did something we have never done before. We ate on my good china with my nice silver. Up until now they have always been either in storage, or on display in my china cabinet.
I told my hubby I didn't want him to buy me anything for Valentines day so instead he surprised me and while we were at the play he fixed an outlet in my bathroom and ran a new waterline to the ice maker in our freezer so it would work again. I was very pleased and impressed. It was a great Valentines Day gift. He gave me one of his most precious things, he gave up his spare time to do something for me.

I'm back
Well, it has been a while since I added to my blog and if you have been on the edge of your seat watching for news, I'm sorry to keep you waiting (also you really should get a hobby!) My computer got INFECTED! So I haven't had the use of it while it was at the computer doctor being cured. Actually I still don't have it back, which means I can't post any pictures (I'll get it on Monday) but I thought I should add something to my blog so I'm using another computer.
So the semester really feels well under way. In fact I had my first two exams last week and I have another next week. The worst part of taking an exam is after...waiting to get your score back to see how you did. Although honestly I usually have a pretty good feel for how I did. My favorite instructor this week is Heather Chapman who teaches my cognitive psych class because I took my exam on Friday and I had my grade for it on Saturday morning; it made my weekend much more pleasant to not wonder about it.
