Van Halen

It's either too hot or too cold in our house. Sadly, we can't seem to find a nice middle ground. The problem is that upstairs it can be 80 degrees, on the main level it is 70 degrees and downstairs it's 60 degrees. So someone with a bedroom upstairs will turn on the AC to cool it off upstairs, but then I'm freezing!!!!! And the basement is like a refrigerator. So if I turn off the AC, it warms back up but then everybody upstairs feel like they're living in the Sahara Desert. In defense of my roommates and their attempts to cool down their bedrooms, Bronwyn likes to tell me that I'd freeze to death in the middle of the Sahara Desert. She's probably right. :)

I haven't been able to bring myself to jump back into the LDS YSA way of living. After being at home all summer in a real home with my family and not feeling any of the pressure you feel living amongst thousands of marriage-hungry YSA's, I can't force myself to jump back into the stress of it all. My roommates tell me about these guys they're interested in and I see how stressed out it makes them, and I have no motivation to ruin my perfect life by adding all that stress to it. I'm much more interested in stressing out over how I can get a decent job overseas so I can start learning new languages. I haven't gone to anything since I've been back. Not even Ultimate. I didn't think I'd ever quit going to Ultimate. But, see, part of the problem is that I have to be in bed by 9:00 because I get up at 5:00. I've started doing that this year. It's the best choice I've made in a long time! I feel so great! It's so quiet in the house. I have time to get ready for work. I'm not running out the door with curlers in my hair, my makeup in one hand and my breakfast in the other. The whole day is better because I got up early.

I'd like to give a shout out to Todd for all the great music he gave me over the summer. I'm listening to Van Halen's "Why Can't This Be Love." I like Van Halen.












Check this out! I have a real room!
























I actually like to be in here now. I didn't before. My room was a hodge podge of different stuff I got for free. I kept my socks on the shelf of an entertainment center.

















People always comment on these posters. Most people (except for Eric Lynn) like them. Yay!
