ROOMMATES

So this week has been really crazy I'm moving into my new apartment and trying to find roommates for both places. I've had a couple potentials but... I guess we'll see. I'm a little worried about moving for some reason. I guess its just that i've been here for such a long time that I just feel weird about moving to a new place. I'm sure once everything is settled I will feel more comfortable. So its a Friday night and I'm home alone its really really weird. I don't think this has ever happened to me Sarah is on a date, my other roommates went to a really cheesy movie and I am here blogging. Nice. Tomorrow night is our halloween party and I have decided to go as Tinker bell. (a very tall Tinker bell) whatever, my friend made my costume for me, very cute and modest don't worry. I'm reading The Turn of the Screw by Henry James and it is completely freaking me out, little kids are creepy. That is the real reason I'm blogging; I'm trying to get back to reality so I don't have to turn all my lights on and call a friend over to ward off frightening apparitions. well, that's really all that's on my mind right now. Also, HAppy Birthday yitto Ye-ah!  P.S. Wheat, if you can possibly arrange to have your ipod sent to me I'll see what I can do to get you a new one for el cheapo-er! 

Basically technically

This is to all you cousins who say basically technically(which is all of you). I don't know if many of you know how that saying got started so... Whitney, Miranda and I had a geology class which was very late at night. Our teacher was a VERY dry man and we had to keep ourselves entertained by any means possible. We took to making fun of basically technically everything the poor man said. He was giving a lecture one dull evening and he said this phrase and we all thought it was hilarious of course; you know us. So we have merged it into our favorite sayings. Last week my friend Christa came over to my apartment with a funny story to tell me. She is a student at SLCC and has a History class there. She was talking to the girl sitting next to her and the girl uttered the golden phrase of basically technically. Christa said, "I have a friend who says that all the time." The girl sitting next to her said, "what's her name?" Christa said,"Leslie" And Madison said, "That's my cousin." What a small world we live in. Speaking of small worlds I ran in to Alexis, Tahna, and Seth Bott on saturday at the Gateway. I haven't seen them for it feels like years which it probably has been. And speaking of Seth Bott, Kelsie you SKUNK what were you thinking? Mind you, you better run for cover when next I see you. 

BUSY

So My life has continued being hectic and seems to be getting even more so. This may make some of you think I'm not myself or even unwell but I have joined a punk rock piano band. Yes, unbelievable I know. I am the lead singer and I also do the piano, Jake plays the guitar and sings backup, and Mike is our drummer. We're actually pretty good. Now, contrary to the title of genre we don't play PUNK music we cover bands and write our own but we're more mellow. I don't know how to describe what we play. Kinda, Ben Folds ish. anyway, I've also started teaching piano lessons. I enjoy teaching my students seeing as they are not elementary students. They're a little older and actually care about what I teach them. Also, I've Joined a writing group called writer's collective. We meet every week and read and discuss the pieces that we've written. And, I've decided to become a substitute teacher for those days that I'm not working at the Apple store. 

It's official. I'm moving out sometime  in the next couple of weeks. I've found a roommate and we actually have an apartment upstairs from where I live now. Her name is Ashley and she is in my ward and she's really sweet.

This last week I went and visited Timpanogos Caves. It's so beautiful in the mountains this time of year. The weather was perfect and the hike was slightly strenuous but I didn't feel like I was going to die.  All of these pictures were taken from my phone. pretty cool.

Thank you Whit for the Birthday Letter. It made me cry of course. I miss you waay mucho. Did you get my letter that I sent you like a month ago? Also, When you get home I have someone I want you to meet. He works with me and he is a return missionary from Honduras...he's really nice.

I love you all And hope to see you soon. Love ya
