Late nights and random dance parties? Um, yes, please.

I'm back at the Y, which means several things:

• I'm living with all girls, again, which has its pluses and minuses (mostly pluses).
• I'm out of my rut of unproductive hiccup (see previous posts).
• I'm surrounded by married people and small children.
• I'm eating more mac n' cheese and less veggies.
• "Y'all" and Ebonics have leaked into my everyday vocabulary.
• My stress levels have increased several degrees.
• Once again, I don't know what to do with my life.
• bloody noses, cracked heels and elbows, sniffles (where's the rain??)
• Everyone's Mormon, which makes life great. There is a plethora of weird people in Oregon.
• I miss my family. A lot.

There have been upgrades this year, that makes it a whole new experience for me:

• I have a car, which means I can go places. Whenever I want. Wherever I want. FREEDOM from/in Provo, Utah!
• I live in an apartment complex with a pool and workout room. Personal workout sessions became so much easier.
• Boys aren't leaving on their missions, but are actually getting back.
• New phone so I can actually communicate with people.
• New and improved camera=more blog posts with better quality photos!
• dishwasher. the end.

Among the forest of bullet points I hope you picked up on my excitement. Even though I'm taking pre-recs for my major and the stress is piled on thick, life is excellent. Fresh start. New people. Chill roommates. I couldn't ask for anything else.
