Let the Buttload of Work Begin!

So as you all know, I am back at BYU-I for this semester. I am actually staying until April to finish off my AA. Holy cow that is a long time!!! So this semester is going pretty well so far - making lots of friends and having a good time. The best thing I have done so far though is going to the ice caves with a few other friends. The caves are a little ways out of town and you need a truck to get to them because of the bumpy road but if you are with the right group, it's a blast! Christine and I went with a few of our new friends from our ward Kellen, Phillip, and Lane. Phillip drove his truck out going around 30 mph on the really bump parts of the road so it felt like a roller coaster! After going on a bunch of wrong roads, we finally made it. Little did we know, the ice caves would be pretty much full of ice except for the butt grooves from people sliding down them. You have to climb through it all (no space for walking) by laying down on your back on the ice and kicking off the ceiling. Some pretty intense stuff but way worth it! At the end there's a slide you can go down. We also managed to scare another group in the cave by hiding with our lights off and jumping out.
The Caves!

This is at the very beginning of the cave. See where Christine's foot is, that's actually ice we had to step on and slide down but also miss the big hole on the left!! Good thing we had boys there to lift us back up!!!

Kick off the ceiling on your back onto the ice!

Oh boys!

So that was our fun last weekend but I can already feel the fun is very quickly coming to an end. I have a lot of homework now with classes like Anatomy and Medical Terminology plus I got a job at a private caregiving facility and I am going to start volunteering at the hospital!! Crazy stuff but I am so excited!
