Back to the West

I don't want to say that coming back to Idaho was much of a culture shock, but very different than the life I've been living the last 4 months. First of all, the weather. For some strange reason, people here seem to think that 50 degrees is warm, and proceed to walk around town in short sleeves and shorts while I bundle up for the day in a big coat and sweater. Second of all, the absence of humidity. I now believe all the people from Florida that I would take on snowshoeing hikes in Park City. There is no air here! Third, there is absolutely nothing to do here. From going from the extreme to hopping onto a bus to go to a Disney park, to "let's go to Walmart" is quite the difference.

Just for those people who know me well, the day I move into a new apartment, I'm usually so excited to decorate that I stay up through the wee hours of the morning to finish creating a decorative masterpiece. This year, I'm so tired of packing and unpacking, that my clothes finally got settled into my closet yesterday, and I could care less if my pictures ever made it to the wall...

By the way, I love new classes. This semester, I'm finishing up my creative writing minor so for the majority, my classes are all English based. There is one exception. I have one Intro to Advertising class where there is this one kid who enjoys copying everything the professor says. My teacher will be talking about a commercial that aired during the superbowl and he'll say "these companies pay millions to have their product air for only 30 seconds, and it's mostly just for entertainment". In the meantime, weird kid to my left is saying "yep yep. uh huh. yep 30 seconds. Purely for entertainment. uh huh."
He does this all through class...awesome.

Anyways, class started. Have a nice day.

yay you posted! I love reading about your life. How are your roommates? Are you living with your sister? I can't wait to see your room in the fall! Maybe by then you'll regain your excitement to put pictures on the wall. Punch advertising copy cat in the face! Love you!
