Well, blogging is entirely new to me. The only reason I even started this blog is because my brother recently went to China and started a blog to record his adventures there. And since I'm starting a new chapter in my life, I thought it might be a good idea to write about my experiences too!
So here I am in Provo, UT having just finished school at BYU-Idaho. I'm currently teaching second grade in Spanish Fork. Not too sure if teaching is my calling in life. I love my students but not necessarily my job. Some days are a joy; other days are simply exhausting.
While I am not a student at BYU, I am in a student ward. It's not your typical BYU ward though. Most of the members are done with their undergrads. Some are working on a master's, and a few are working on a doctorate. Those who aren't going to school are pretty well settled into a career. At 21 years of age, I am the baby of the ward.
My first few weeks here in Provo and of work were horrible. Everything was new, unfamiliar, and difficult. Fortunately, I've become used to the area, and I know what's expected of me. I'm learning to blossom where I'm planted. After all, happiness is the object and design of our existence. So why not choose to be happy?
About Me
- Heather
- Provo, UT, United States
- Hey! My name is Heather M'Darlin Macfarlane. M'Darlin--as in "my darling." Yes, I was the favored daughter and sister. (Nevermind that I was the only daughter and sister.) It was great growing up with such an endearing middle name. My parents could never use my full name when they got upset with me. Who can say, "Heather M'Darlin Macfarlane!" and stay mad? Then again, being the youngest child and the only girl, how could I possibly get into trouble? I was like the little prince who couldn't be punished, so he needed a whipping boy. My poor brothers. I have since left the castle in which I was adored. I am now a young single adult living in Provo, UT after three years at BYU-Idaho. It's much harder to be the favorite girl when there are so many other girls! Thank goodness my second graders don't have very many teachers to compare me with yet, so there's not much competition in that arena. By this point, you are probably wondering why everything I do is a competition. I'm really not that competitive. Umm...would you like to come play Monopoly or Settlers of Catan sometime?
