San Diego is good. It is cooling down a bit which is a nice relief. It is making be like living here a whole lot better anyways. It was actually cool enough to wear a sweater the other day! Amazing!

School is going well. My creative class is starting to have some kind of a format. We have textbooks now and are starting to have tests. Too bad the tests have to start at the same time I have tests in all my other classes. I have a test everyday next week and I am working inventory on Monday night from 9:30pm-2:30am. Should be a rough week. Wish me luck!

All else is good. I am busy planning the logistics of my birthday celebrations with my different friends. I say "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" on Saturday. It was very entertaining, a fun movie. And Jude Law was in it so of course I was going to like it!! The Star Wars Trilogy came out on DVD yesterday but I am patiently waiting until after my exams to buy it because there is no way I will be able to resist delving into it. I also saw Garden State, again, last week. It is one of my favorites now. Really applies to my point in life now. Friends are good, Church is good. I am really enjoying my D&C institute class that I have right now. It is fun to learn new insights that I haven't thought of before. I am also trying to keep up with a Book of Mormon read that my relief society is doing. I decided against the bike for my birthday, too many logistical problems. I am getting a camera instead.

Today in class my communication theory professor came wearing full mens formal Japanese wear (this is a skinny, military looking white guy) and started the class with video of a sumo wrestling match and then lectured in Japanese for about 5 minutes. It was an object lesson for the lecture but all the same it reminded me of Japan and Dave and Adina. I guess he went to Tokyo over the weekend and he was drinking Pocari Sweat and giving out Japanese candy. He specializes in Japanese culture and communication I think. Anyway that was a fun little experience.

In my creative development class we are doing a campaign right now for Penta bottled water. So you all should go get some and try it and let me know what you think. They sell it at Ralphs and health food stores. The website is pentawater.com. Let me know if you have any ideas for advertising! :)

Well I need to study now for those tests!

love, Marnie
