The Struggle of Provo...

Well, friends, I'm here in P-town. I've been getting settled into my new apartment this week, but tonight's my first overnight adventure here in the condo. So far, I've been staying with my Grandma who I just love, and the two of us have had many a laugh and a good story. I was a little bit sad to leave this morning, even though she does live pretty close by. I think I'll be back soon. Dad and Cecilee had to fly home on Tuesday; gosh, it's only been three days since then, but it feels like it's been at least a week! I talked to Mom, Amelie, and Ethan on the phone today, so I've touched bases with my family a little bit.

Still...

What I wouldn't give to be back at home. I guess I'm just a homebody!

I felt a little better about my seemingly endless state of homesickness today at work at my new job at the Helaman Creamery. I met a girl named Amy, and together we rolled out hamburger patties from raw ground beef (this sounds gross, I know, but it was actually the best part of my shift! It gets a little boring in there.) Here's what I found out about Amy:

1. She's a sophomore.
2. She THOUGHT she wanted to be a Civil Engineer, but found out she totally hates that, so now she's thinking about being a dance major, but is sortof struggling with the fact that it's not really a guarantee that she'll ever get a job with that, and plus, she's got a lot of smarts, so why not use them for something more academic?
3. Her boyfriend, who was her best friend growing up, and who she dated long-distance last year, has been on a mission for about a month and she misses him lots, and says that it hasn't really gotten any easier with time, but that she has figured out how to cope with it.
4. She loves being home more than anything anything annnyything.

Yep. I think Amy and I are going to be good friends.

Also, here's my new room, all the way unpacked and with a good start on being decorated!

I'm kindof ready for school to start so I can get this show on the roooad.
