life right now.

so folks. here are some random facts about my life as of this moment in time.

{1} it is sometimes still weird to me that I live 2848 miles from home.

yep, i totally just mapquested that

{2} i love that the sound of the ocean and waves crashing is what puts me to sleep every night.

and sometimes during the day. yay naps!

{3} i love and i appreciate skype alot more now. 

{4} i am always sweaty and disgusting here. curse this humidity 

i may or may not always look like a homeless child.

{5} even though i just cursed the humidity, my skin is LOVING it.

seriously, it's silky smooth all of the time.

{6} my singles ward is going to be bomb.

it is so amazing that there are people from all over the world in it.

it is SO diverse. and i LOVE it.

{7} i need to learn to surf.

{8} i feel slightly pathetic that i don't even know half of the girls who live in my house.

but. there are 36 of us, so it's a bit of a challenge.

{9} i haven't cuddled in approximately ten million years.

i probably don't even know how to anymore.

this comes to mind because i'm kind of a third wheel at the moment to my roomate.

sorry guys. :)

{10} I really hate that people keep thinking i'm a freshman.

i mean sure, i'm new here, but seriously? a freshman.

i am a junior. thank you very much.

i'm surprised by how much this bothers me.

{11} i'm strangely excited for classes to start.

i'm hoping it will break the awkwardness of being a transfer student.

{12} i think that i'm going to work on getting a peace-building certificate.

because a new friend of mine told me that it totally fits me and it's amazing.

so why not?

why not, why not, do a crazy dance? and why not, why not, take a crazy chance.

ha. totally just quoted hilary duff. gross.

{13} i realize how much i hate being called "hun" or "doll" by girls my same age.

seriously? you are not my grandma.

{14} i am going to be forced to get in shape.

because that's what happens when you walk and ride your bike everywhere.

however, this will be a good thing. i have been out of shape for far too long.

{15} i really hope i can get a job soon.

keep your fingers crossed, keep me in prayers, etc.

and that is all.

holla.
