Summah

It's officially summer and I am loving it. It was was 85 today...so hot. It's still April, Utah!! It felt like August. But I'm super excited to have time to do fun things. My ward has a ton of activities in the summer so I'm a little sad to be leaving a week from Thursday. There are a bunch of awesome people doing super fun stuff. Oh well I'll be back in July!! That's going to be sooo fun. We had ward fhe tonight out in Lehi and then had a dance class--super fun. I forgot how much I miss dancing. I really hope I get into 380 for the fall, I'm currently waitlisted, #7.

BUT I also leave for Guernsey a week from Thursday...so I can't complain haha. There's so much to do before I leave. I have grading and errands and weddings and all sorts of things. Caleb's (from study abroad) wedding is Friday and Miriam's (my roommate) is Saturday so it's wedding weekend for me haha. It'll be fun though. I've also had time to read books for fun, which I have definitely missed.

I'm getting more excited about Guernsey--a couple weeks ago I was just stressing out about it. But then I realized that all anthropology is, really, is talking to people. And I thought, oh, I can do that! Plus I'm sure it'll be super interesting to hear their perspective about their culture so I think I'll be too interested in what they have to say to be shy. At least that's what I'm banking on haha. I really am kind of a shy person, it always surprises me when people think I'm outgoing. I guess that's good though, that means I get out of my comfort zone a fair amount, and that's definitely healthy.

I do wish I had gotten to go home before I left. But at the same time it's been really interesting being here after most people leave. I've never stayed through graduation weekend before (next year that'll be me!! aaah). And it's been weird to see people move out and not be one of them, I'm never stayed in one complex more than a year before. It's kind of nice though, not having to move out. And hopefully I'll go  home for a bit in July, that's the plan anyways.

It's also nice to have time to do fun things and not feel bad about not doing homework. It's still a little surreal. I know it happens every year, but for some reason it seems new every time.

In other news....I survived finals. Even got the high score on my film one!! I was not expecting that. I also got to go to the Ingrid Michaelson concert on Thursday--she's amazing live. So that was pretty fun. Also Erin and Sarah (also from study abroad) got their mission calls! Erin's going to Temple Square and Sarah's going to Russia. I'm so excited for them, but a little sad, since they won't be here next year. So we had our last crepe night--it was bittersweet.

Last crepe night! I love these guys.  

Erin opening her call!

Ingrid!
