I expected to find a bunch of Mormons at BYU, and that is exactly what I got. It's kind of weird at first that everyone is of the same religion, but at the same time it is also comforting. I'm surprised at how happy people are here. I come from New York where everyone just glares at you and always speed walks to their destination. Here at BYU everyone seems as if they are just taking a stroll and they talk to EVERYONE they see. Even if you don't know somebody, they just start talking to you randomly. So now I guess that I am the only one who doesn't strike up a conversation with random people. I had to teach myself how to be nicer to people 24/7. I'm not very good at it, but it is a work in progress. Don't get me wrong, I love BYU and how nice the people are. However, it was just a little bit of culture shock for me.
My greatest a-ha moment was in Chemistry class. I realized on the third day of class that I did not want to go into a science field. I am glad that I can cross off the sciences from my potential majors list. Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with my life. My plan for the rest of the semester is to do as best as I can in my finals and strengthen my testimony even more when I'm at BYU. Also, I really need to study for finals. Those grades are crucial.
