I love the New Year. I don't know if I always have or not, but this year, I am loving it. 2013 was a rough year. It really was. Of course, it had it's highs and lows. I don't know anyone who didn't have highs and low in 2013. I had Oakcrest, and all of the lovely people that I met there, and I got closer to a lot of friends at school, and my testimony is ROCK SOLID because of this last year. And then, my dad died at the end of June, and some of my old friends estranged themselves from me, and I had the hardest semester that I have ever had (Choosing between all 3!). Despite all of the great things that happened to me, I was so happy to put the year behind me. And now I am here! It's a new year, a new semester, a new apartment, new roommates, and I am ready! Bring it on!
So let's talk about my new apartment. I am in love with it. It's nothing fancy. It's probably older than me. But I love it. I don't know if that's because I am comparing it to my old apartment (paper thin walls, no hot water, smaller than a baby pygmy possum [I know these are really small because Dr. Seuss told me so], less than amiable housemates, etc.) but whatever it is, I am happy. I mean, I don't need a space heater! I left mine in Herriman! And I love my housemates. My actual roommate is a cello performance major, and I adore her. She is so fantastic. The other girls are really nice, though I have yet to meet one of them, but I am sure she is really nice too. Oh! I have covered parking too! I mean, there are only two spots for us, and three cars, but any covered parking I can get is awesome! And my ward is looking awesome. I can already tell.
I am super sad about one thing this semester, however. People are leaving me and graduating! It's the worst! One of my good friends already left for student teaching, and I miss him dearly! I am going to text him that right now. It is done.

So that is very sad. I am going to miss all of my friends.
Anyway. The change of the year has given me renewed energy! That, and one of my resolutions is to eat less wheat, and eating less wheat always gives me more energy! Woo! Bring it on Spring 2014!
Signing out,
