we'll defuse bombs and walk marathons and take on whatever

due to some unforeseen changes in my life i'm kind of getting ready to embark on a new start this fall. i have lofty goals some of which involve food and exercise others involve improving my handwriting that has gotten progressively worse since i tried to make it cute and hip in the 9th grade. i am currently trying to finish up my english teaching application for byu (have to come up with 234234 different ways to say why i think i'd make a good english teacher in 8 different essays of 300-500 words each) and getting ready to move into a shoebox (a cutely painted shoebox but shoebox nonetheless) of a house with mack and holli. bunkbeds and all.

new semesters are exciting. so much hope that you will love all of your classes and teachers. that your ward will contain so many friends. that you will actually be social this time and maybe even exercise every once in awhile. that you will make dinner everynight with your roommates instead of eating out and you will enjoy every last minute of being a twenty-something single college student.
new pens
new notebooks
new overpriced books.

kind of a different start from this time last year when i was getting ready for london. miss it everyday with all of my heart. when are we going back?


(also: my birthday is wednesday september 2. take note)

love.

Al, you are too cool for me because I have no idea who any of those musicians are. And here's to new beginnings! Hope this semester brings fabulous things for you...like a trip to DC. Ha ha.
