Just one more final left. Then I get to spend a day packing and cleaning and hanging out with various people. I'm not too worried about this final, but maybe I should be. The class is fairly easy, but somehow Dr. James manages to put hard questions on the test. It's all about the weather and climate types, soil types, and what kinds of things can grow in each one. I have to know names of different winds and ocean currents including where they are. Completely comprehensive, but also completely multiple choice. I think I'll do alright since I don't have to be pulling names out of my head. I just have to recognize the names. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to handle that.
After finals I get to make the trek across the country...again. This will be my fourth time driving the distance from Utah to Maryland in two years. It's fun, for sure, but it's also very tiring. I'll be getting home about the same time as my friend Jessi and she won't be finished with school for another week. I guess it's a small sacrifice to pay for going to BYU instead of some Maryland school. Definitely worth it.

How To Add Your Name to the List of Contributors:
Alright. Here we go:
Step 1. Take a DEEP breath.
Step 2. SIGN ON under the Knudsonfam name
Step 3. Go to the DASHBOARD
Step 4. Next to the name of our blog on Dashboard, you can manage posts, settings, etc. Click on SETTINGS.
Step 5. Under Settings there is a link called PERMISSIONS. Click on it. I think it's all the way on the right.
Step 6. There is a list of Blog Authors and under it a button that says: ADD AUTHORS. Click on that.
Step 7. You type the e-mail you use to sign on to blogger (not Knudsonfam, but your own) where it tells you to.
Step 8. Then you can sign on as yourself and it should include our blog on your dashboard along with any other blogs you are running. I can't remember. Maybe the e-mail it will send you will tell you to do something else too.
Good Luck! I hope this helps you guys. If you're still having trouble, just tell me what e-mail you use to sign onto Blogger and I'll get your name on the list.

Our Day in Salt Lake
My roommate Catherine and I both got two tickets to the Saturday Afternoon Session of General Conference, so we decided to spend the day in Salt Lake. We left early in the morning so that we could sit in the Tabernacle for the morning session. Meagan came with us since she was singing in the choir (I hope everyone saw her! They showed her during The Morning Breaks and other times).
After the morning session, my roommates and I walked up to our car and ate our lunch.It was kind of cold outside, so we decided to put the seats down in the Jeep and sit in the back while we ate. It reminded me of a covered wagon with the widow up.
After lunch we went back down to the Conference Center. We were so excited (especially Laura). I was sad because where we sat I wouldn't be able to spot Meagan, and since I'm wearing my older glasses I probably wouldn't have been able to see her anyway, but it was alright because she was on the screen a few times.
We met up with everyone outside the Conference Center and took a few pictures with roommates and Meagan. Then Meagan left and we went to take more pictures!In October, Laura and I did a service project where we went and planted flowers on Temple Square. It was cold, wet, and REALLY windy, but fun. Well, part of the reason we wanted to go to Salt Lake was to see all the flowers! And so we did! They're beautiful. I'm still surprised they let volunteers go and do stuff like that. Maybe they go around at night and undo everything we did and then do it right. Either way, Temple Square looks amazing and it makes us happy that we got to have something to do with it. The weather was worth it! I was sad that the tulips haven't bloomed yet, but maybe we'll go back after finals and see them. Enjoy the slideshow!
