LIKES:
- my ward. actually, i LOVE my ward. i've met so many fun people and have already begun to feel comfortable here, unlike my last ward, which i liked, but took me a while to get used to.
- having my sister here/living with her. it's weird, but we don't hang out as much as we did the first couple weeks, but i think that's because she's finally feeling like she fits in here (to a certain extent) so she doesn't need me all the time. but really, it's nice having her here because i know i will always have someone to hang out with if everyone else is gone.
- my apartment. i still have to take pictures, but i love it. it's so cute. and everyone that walks into it for the first time loves it too. i don't even mind the fact that i don't have my own room this year.
- my new FRIENDS. seriously. i hang out with them ALL THE TIME. it's like we all just clicked. we were meant to be friends or something. they're the ones i call on a bad day or when i have a story to tell. it's fantastic.
- my old friends. i never get sick of them :) i love that we're all reunited and that i can always count on them. plus, all my freshmen boys are back as well, so that's quite fun, and quite the experience.
- the warm weather we've been having lately! i don't remember it staying this warm this late in the season the last few years i've been here, but it's fabulous. i am thoroughly enjoying it.
- the number of dates i've been out on thus far. i'm not normally a dater, nor do i get asked out, but for some reason, i've been on a few this semester....like, a record breaking number (for me, at least)
ok, now the DISLIKES list:
- classes. they're hard. and all of a sudden, i have all of my assignments due. NO BUENO.
- the number of dates i've been on. again, like i said, i'm not much of a dater. i'm not saying i didn't enjoy the dates, because i did, but it's caused some, well, some minor difficulties. already i'm conflicted about certain things. not what i wanted to experience this early in the semester
- the fact that i don't have a car this semester. it's hard. i can't go anywhere i want to anytime i want to. major bummer. i'm also limited in the friends i can see, since a lot of them still live farther away from me. however, on the plus side, it means i get to walk a lot more, thus getting my body more in shape.
- the idea that i am graduating in 7 months. that's a hard concept to grasp. i didn't actually think it was going to happen in 4 years, but it turns out, it is. it's good in some sense, but i'm scared. i think that's the biggest thing right now.
however, i am trying to take every opportunity available to me and to experience everything provo has to offer. everything means more to me now that i know i won't be back next year. it's my last fall semester, my last football season, my last real year of college.
but here are a few things i've done so far (if i can remember them all...)
- Spoon Me trips with Lana, Mikey, Stacey, Bri, Jason, Brent
- Movie nights with Mark and Chris (only rated R haha)
- Football games, aka losing my voice every weekend
- Pizza Factory with Stacey and Bri
- Costa with Bri, with Brad
- Full moon lift ride at Sundance with Mark
- Laser Tagging with Eric and everyone else for a big group date
- The Rocket Summer Concert featuring the Morning Light, the Secret Handshake and Phantom Planet with Michael and Mark, and Aaron and Sarah (where I caught the drumstick from the Secret Handshake's drummer!)
- Sonic and TB run with Michael and Mark
- Park City Outlet mall with Chris, Mark, Michael, Aaron and Sarah
- Bonfires with Lana and Mikey
- Salmon dinner with the boys
- Rock the Block
- Late night talks with Chris and Mark (where they were pampered with back massages for a good hour and us girls just suffered without hah)
- Office party tonight
- Free bowling at the Wilk with the CEO club
all in all, i've enjoyed these first few weeks and can't wait to see what the rest of the year holds for me! hopefully some good things. and hopefully the things that i've been worrying about the last couple of days won't actually be true/come true.
