But I love Annee's blog so much that I want to do my part and post as well.
I have been very busy at school the last few weeks. I feel SO LUCKY to be a part of such a great accounting program at BYU. At our MAcc orientation meeting our director told us "it is no accident that you are where you are in this program at this school." It is reassuring to know that all of this work I am putting in, all of the 15 hour days in the Tanner Building, are building towards some ultimate purpose. Now that I am in my second year in the program, I have gotten more comfortable with my classmates and have built some meaningful friendships. I've made it a point to force myself to stretch and grow and become better at being open and befriending the people around me. Focusing on getting to know my classmates has made being at school all day so much fun. I really am so lucky. Last weekend I did get a chance to get out and play with my friends. We went up to the Utah State Fair for some good fried food and people watching. It was quite an experience! A highlight was the deep fried Twinkies and Oreos we found. I had heard about this new carnival food phenomenon but had never tried it. The four of us split one of each and wow are they good! The Oreos get all soft and warm and the Twinkie starts to melt. You definitely don’t need more than a few bites since before too long the weight (both mental and physical) of the fried food becomes too much. Nonetheless it was worth it!

Wow! That is taking funnel cake to a whole new level. And how did it compare by the way? Is it better, or should one just stick with the original? I mean that's why I go to the fair (the funnel cake that is).
Oh yes it was quite a debate between the funnel cake and the deep fried delights.. but i think the twinkie was worth it. Although Courtney got a funnel cake with honey instead of powdered sugar which was a great combination in my opinion.
Next time you find yourself at a state fair you'll have to tell me how you think they compare.
I've wanted to try deep fried oreos for a long time! I saw them on food network once. I'm kind of jealous that you're back in school. I thought I would be so relieved to be done with school, but I find myself thinking of and missing BYU way more often than I expected.
