Okay once again, hello bloggers!
I apologize for being MIA again... this time for a couple of months!
But I have some updates for you all, the first one being that I'm at Arizona State University, west campus, majoring in Secondary Education (math). I moved down here last weekend and it is already the best thing to ever happen to me!
Here's just a little picture from move in day.
(Dakoda, Julia, Myself, & Emily)
Julia is going to the tempe campus but Koda, Emily & I are all going to west together.
Excuse my ugliness that day. It was hot in Phoenix hahah
I can't even explain how happy I am to be away from little town Prescott and back in the bigger city area. There's really nothing that I can complain about as of now! Except that my roommates boyfriend likes to sleep over and that can get a little bit awkward... but oh well. As long as they aren't doing anything inappropriate I really can't complain too much about that considering I'm at a non-LDS University and not everybody has the same views as I.
As far as my dorm room, it is the cutest thing ever. Here's just a picture of my bed:
Is it not just completely adorable!? And it's comfortable... something that I was not expecting.
One thing that makes me really, really happy about living in the valley now is the FOOD. There are so many places here that I was never able to go to because they were just so far away. Now, every time I search some restaurant on my map, it's usually never more than 20 minutes away tops! You have no idea how excited that makes me! My sister and I stopped at Culver's one night for some frozen custard. The best. I just have to share a picture of that for all of you, too:
Does that not look just completely fantastic!? It is.
WARNING: If you don't give a crap about my first week at school, don't waste your time reading this whole next section.
Alright, so a little bit about what exactly I have been doing since I got to school. Classes started yesterday (& all I had was Calc 2 and my Special Ed class) so I didn't have to worry about that all week. Saturday I moved in with the help of my foster sister and the family. Sunday we checked out the new ward (Glendale YSA) which was alright... I never thought I would say this but I think I liked the Prescott YSA more than my new one... but maybe I just haven't given it enough time yet. Connor's companion that he had at one point just moved back home (to Glendale... small world) and we're going to be in the same ward now so I guess that will make it better! And hopefully I can get Dakoda to come to my ward instead of the one that is where he lives (WHY must he live half an hour away from the campus in a different Stake... maybe he'll be in my ward since he goes to ASU West... Let's all pray for that please) Hahaha. But anyways. I dropped my sister off around 6 that night and then headed back to my dorm and hung out with my new suite mate, Alyssa & her boyfriend Jake. You'll be hearing a lot about them at some points I'm sure because they're awesome. Then on Monday, Dakoda and I went to tempe for a Luau that was supposed to be happening but... it didn't really. So then we left, hit up In-N-Out on the way home, and then went back to West to the foam party that was happening. It ended up being a thousand times better than I thought that it would. We ended up soaking wet with soap and water (getting in our eyes ... which wasn't pleasant) and dancing our night away. It was on a grassy field so we ended up muddy as heck. When we were done with that we went back to my room, showered, and then just layed around on the computer watching youtube and such.
Tuesday night was the fall welcome concert so I didn't do too much during the day, but then went with Alyssa & Jake to tempe and met up with Koda, Emily, Julia & our new friend Maria. Here are a few pictures from that! We were sitting the 6th row back!
This is Maria & I. (She's on the right....if you couldn't tell....)
The concert was better than I expected, although Far East Movement sucked. And then it rained like crazy that night so we all ended up freezing our butts off standing outside waiting for the shuttle. And then D and I fell asleep the entire way home. Theeennn on Wednesday I went to the school job fair, lunch with Emily, and then hung out with D until around 6.
And yesterday I had class for the first time at a University! Here's a picture of that:
Then I had another class, lunch with D&E (I'm getting lazy with spelling out the names), went to the library to do hw with D (which didn't end up being very productive) annnnnd then I drove back home to little ol' Prescott because there is a ton of stuff going on this weekend here. And that's about it.
I am so sorry for how long this post is and how much random crap that it has!
Anyways, I've got a lot going on this weekend that doesn't really matter too much to the world of bloggers but I'll update you on all of that next week sometime... maybe. I'm really gonna try to keep up on this blog of mine. I really suck at it and I want to be better so that I can remember important things like college!
So I told you guys a bit about my situation with "that guy" before, yes? The one that was always confusing and I never knew what was going on with him? The not-my-missionary-guy. Yeah? Okay well if I never told you his name or if you haven't gathered that by my blog post thus far, it's Dakoda. Whom will never see this blog, hopefully. Because that would be the death of me. Anyways, yeah, we're going to the same school and have classes together and hang out pretty much every day but so far, so confusing. I still don't know what the heck is going on at all, but I really don't care at this point! Because college is fun and there are plenty of new guys here to be discovered, so if he wants to keep being like that it's his thing and I'm just gonna do my own thing... while hanging out with him and being friends and stuff. GAH. I have so much to say about him but I'll just wait and update you all about that next time something happens because I am sick of describing all of the things that have happened the past week. So. You'll find out about that as the time comes.
And for this of you wondering about my missionary, we are still just as good as ever. We don't write very much but he sends me an email every Monday and I send them to him every Sunday so we are in contact still, and all is well with that! We're just waiting to see how things go when he gets home... which by the way is in 11 MONTHS! Where the heck has the time gone!!!?? I don't even know! HE'S ALREADY BEEN GONE FOR OVER A YEAR. WHATTT IN THE WORLD. Okay. Done now.
Thanks for reading <3 Love you all.
