We are ALL MOVED IN and the decorating/organizing extravaganza has begun! My new room is a lot like the one I had my very first semester, so I've found myself decorating it similarly, but with a few experienced changes. I'm kind of bummed to be back in a twin sized bed (did I mention I had a full bed in my last place? Yeah, it was pretty much the best thing that's happened to me in college so far) after languishing in my full bed for a whole 7 months! Now that I don't have my big bed, I will languish instead on our AMAZING new couches. We've been dying for these couches ever since we found out we were moving into this apartment. We'd come over on Sundays for our counsel meetings and cling to the couches, begging the girls there to let us move in right this very second!! Alas, they did not want to share an apartment with 7 girls, much to our dismay, but now the couches are OURS! Muahahahaha :) I also have a roommate for the first time in about 4 months, which is good and bad, but mostly good. It's nice to finally have someone just around to talk to. My other roommates that don't share my room are always off doing other things or watching Desperate Housewives in the living room, and let's just say I can't go in there without throwing up in my mouth a little bit, so we don't hang out a ton. More about the wonderful Sam later.
Here are a few highlights from the last couple weeks:
1) I swam what felt like about 2 miles out at Deer Creek Reservoir with Kalyn and James. It was a gorgeous swim in the golden light of the sunset across the water and the green trees and hills. Absolutely perfect.
2) I had my very first belly dancing performance (did I mention I was in a belly dancing class? No? Well, I was, and it was amazing!) on Friday night and all 3 of my sisters came, which made me feel so loved and supported. The performance went very well and I can't wait to get into another class in October.
3) My office went on a retreat together to get to know our new Student Alumni officers. We stayed in Midway at a beautiful, quaint condo called The Homestead and got to play for two days between Park City, Heber, and Midway, getting fed better than I ever have been in my life and just generally having way too much fun.
Today is the first day of school, and I'm actually pretty excited to get back to dancing every day and not having to sit at a desk 8 hours a day, though I will miss the money. Today's agenda consists of work, 2nd level Contemporary, Marriage and Family, Italian, ward FHE and sleep. I didn't sleep very well last night, so I'm very much looking forward to about 12 hours from now when I will be snuggled down in my little twin bed.
For anyone else who's having either a first day of school or just needing a general pick-me-up, remember to...
So glad to hear that you love your new apartment with great couches and a sweet Sam! :)
ReplyDeleteI've said this before, but I'll say it again here for the record: You are the most STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS belly dancer I've ever seen or could imagine! Seriously — the hair, the spangles and sparkles, the sexy sleek outfit, but especially YOU — the strong, sure, graceful way you move that tells everyone watching that you're having the time of your life and that you love being in your body and feeling your power. It's a pure joy to watch you dance.
Beck, you are so sweet!! It really meant so much to me that you and Anika were there for the whole performance. I loved having all the important women in my life there with me for that big step in my dance experience! There is nothing better in my life or in my body than dance. It's true, I am always having the time of my life on the dance floor.
ReplyDeleteI love you so much my beautiful, skinny sister :)
