The Amazing Adventures of ME and my . . . Invisible Roommate

I have THE MOST AMAZING ROOMMATE EVER for summer! Yep, her name is Abigail Bailey Caitlin Daisy Xandra Yachne Zaltana and we pretty much party. . . all day. Like the other day we sat in our room and. . . well, that was about it, but it was AWESOME! Heh, yeah. So, Shayla, I guess no one really has to die for you to get your own room without paying extra.

Anyway, so I've been back in Provo livin' in Glenwood for almost three weeks and I figured, maybe I should write something about it. Well, first off I showed up here, walked into the apartment carrying tons of stuff to be greeted by someone just starting their shower and no one else in sight. So, of course, I just stood there awkwardly wondering where the heck I was supposed to put my stuff and why I was even standing there in the first place. Then, saving me from my awkward-standing-ness, one of my other new roommates came out of her room (she had just woken up cuz she works night shifts & gets home @7 am) and sorta showed me where to go. Sadly, I still can't really say that I know my roommates. Two of them are engaged and one has a very close boyfriend so pretty much everyone is gone all the time and I haven't been around that much either.

Okay, so first week back I left on Wednesday for BYUSA Adventure Experience (cuz I'm an officer this year. . . that's really the whole reason that I'm even here right now). That was pretty much amazing! I could write pages and pages about it, but I don't want to use up that much room, so, to sum it up: 28 college students + huge fancy cabin + hula hoops = lots of fun and lots of bruises. :)

So then, this last weekend I was at home, but I'd been invited to be in the Provo parade with the BYU float and I REALLY wanted to go. For some reason my parents went ahead and decided that we'd go, so my whole family got up at 4 IN THE MORNING so that we could go drive out to Provo. (I was supposed to meet people at 6 hence the crazy early-ness) The parade was AWESOME! It didn't start til 9, so there was a lot of time to kill. So we explored the other floats, took random pictures with everyone we met, and were on TV. Oh, and I got to ride on the float! There were soooo many people there to watch the parade and it was soooo long. It was pretty much constant cheering for about an hour or two, but it was great.

Anyway, that's super vague, but that's pretty much been my last few weeks. I'm loving being back at BYU and I wish you all were here too. A month and a half left!!! I miss you all!
