| My bedroom from the door. My bed is on the right, and the one of the left belongs to Kaitlynn. |

| Other view of the room, I think I'm in love with the beads :) |
 |
| The bathroom. I do miss having the double sink. And a toilet that doesn't sound like an airplane taking off when you flush it. |
 |
| Here is our lovely living room full of mismatched furniture. Don't worry, it's not quite as small as it seems. |

| And the kitchen, which is by far much bigger than my las one, though sharing it with four other people can be a bit of a pain. Thus ends the photo part of this blog post. So far it's been nice living here, though the wireless on our side of the lot isn't working and we only turn the AC on at night. I like living with people I know and actually get along with this time around. It's been a nice change, though I do miss having my own room. Rent is so much cheaper here than it was when I lived on campus, but it doesn't have the connivence of being right across the street from campus, and I have to pay electricity and utilities now. Thankfully I save enough from my job at the Assisted Living facility this summer that I don't think I'll be living off ramen this semester, though I did by some just in case. Curt came down with Kaitlynn and I to help us move in, though all we did when we arrived on Saturday was dump all our boxes up in our room and leave for St. George with Kaitlynn's parents. We stayed at her aunt and uncle's fitness spa for the night and spent some time swimming in the pool. It was a nice mini-mini- vacation to take before starting the semester. It was also great to spend some extra time with Curtis. Man I'm gonna miss that kid, even if we drive each other up the wall at times. Classes have been going well so far. I have German 1010 MTWR every week at 10 am. I'm thanking my lucky stars that it isn't any earlier because when I signed up for classes this semester I didn't really pay attention to what time they started at. On MWF I have Chemistry at 1 pm and a lab at 3 on Mondays. I'm also taking an anatomy class online with the lab for that class being on Fridays at 10 am. Tuesday and Thursdays I only have German in the morning and that's going to be really nice, I love being done by 11. Though I will need that extra time to actually work on my anatomy class. I bought text books today, well more like rented them because it's a hell of a lot cheaper that way. My bank account didn't take that bad of a hit, though I still have to pay my rent for the semester. I have the check all made out but I just haven't had a chance to run it over to the apartment managers yet. It's on my to-do list for tomorrow. So far I really enjoy my classes, though I've only been to them once, with the exception of German. I think I may be the most excited for that class. The professor seems very eager to have us all succeed in learning the language, and isn't big on putting people on the spot. We practiced vowel sounds today, which is a little tricky because apparently in English we "glide" our vowel sounds while most languages don't. I'm glad English is a Germanic language because I think that's going to make learning German a little bit easier. We'll see if I continue to like it a few weeks from now, when we start getting into harder stuff ;) I think that'll do it for this update. I'll try to update again soon, but no promises as my life isn't nearly as interesting as I seem to think it is. Ta-Ta for now dear reader!! |
