May was the start of Spring Term. As well as the normal Fall/Winter Semesters, BYU offers shorter Spring and Summer Terms where you can take fewer classes at an accelerated rate. They only last about a month and a half, as opposed to the usual three. During this term I took Chem 105 and Hum 202 (Arts in Western Culture). It was probably the hardest month and a half of my college life (so far).

My chemistry class was near the duck pond, and I went there nearly every day to feed the ducks.

As a result, I became very attached to five orphaned baby ducks who lived there.

Since I came every day, they got so used to me that soon they ate cheerios right out of my hand.

Three disappeared during the middle of the term, but at least I have my memories (and the two left).

Lots of little fishies live at the pond, too.

My family came to Utah after Spring Term to bring Jordan to BYU, and my dad and I hiked Mt. Nebo.

We didn't quite make it to the top, but we did hike at least ten miles that day. It was fun!

Whoa! Utah can be green without the aid of a sprinkler!
