Back to Reality. Again.

Well hello there! Now, I realize some of you have been silently depressed each day you did your daily blog checks and mine still wasn't updated. But--perk up. I'm here to announce my reentry into the blogging world. There are two perfectly good reasons why I've neglected my blog for so long. 1) School started. It's not like I've been totally swamped with homework since day one of the semester but school being back in session is definitely a lifestyle change. Also, the daily humdrum of school tends to impede on the bloggable spontaneity that summer holds. At least for me. I'm sure there are plenty of people that can maintain that throughout any circumstance but let's face it, I'm not really the queen of spontaneity anyway so...summer is my only hope. And 2) I have literally taken one picture since my last post. And here it is.
So... I moved. Which has just been really great. I love the place and I love my roommates. The morning we moved in, I called the electric company to get our power turned on, thinking that calling at 9am would give them the whole day to flip that switch. Turns out, the earliest they could "possibly do it" was the next day. When I asked for a time window they said, "Anywhere between 7am and 7pm." Well that sure narrows it down doesn't it! I was close to asking if I could come over and flip it. It was a definite Brian Regan moment (if you haven't seen Brian Regan please watch his stand up DVD "I walked on the moon" to understand this allusion. It will be worth it. I promise.). So that night, Marie and I were the only ones moved in and were forced to navigate our apartment using maglites and headlamps. It was fairly memorable.

And that's all I've got. School is going pretty well so far. I'll be able to say just how well after I take my first round of midterms next week. I'm pretty sure about ten people I know got engaged this week, my new ward is fun, I got called as the ward pianist/organist (that is, I'm the pianist until I can fake the organ well enough to play it in sacrament meeting) and...I'm still truckin' it at Springville high school. Racquetball is in full swing and the temperature dropped about 10 degrees this week so that it now feels like beautiful, crisp fall. And that's that. I'll try to carry my camera around a little more. That or have a little more fun. Oh the sacrifices I make for my blog. :)
