Just after nine pm on my last day in Rexburg until it's cold again. Eight finals later, if I did everything as well as I hope I did, I'll end this semester with 3 B's and 3...A's!!!! It's been a while since I had that kind of grade report. I think it's safe to say that this semester kicked my trash up one alley and down another.
I woke up this morning, studied a bit for my last final, and after said final was done, came back to the apartment to clean. After an entire day getting this room "white glove clean", my hands are soft and vinegary, I'm exhausted and hungry, and I'm so done with this apartment (until next semester, anyway). Tomorrow I get to wake up, make the vanity "white glove" status, pester my manager until she clears my work, and then I am getting out of Dodge! (in a dodge...teehee)
I'll be in Salt Lake tomorrow night, and then, if I'm really lucky, I'll be back in T-mec by this time Saturday! I just got a rush of jitters--I'm so ready to be home. Did I mention that my trash has been kicked? 'Cause it has.
Finally, I'll get to join my friends who have all been out of school for a month now, and actually have a summer! Technically, I'm going back to work for those couple months, but that's beside the point. Yay jobs! Back to the theater, back to my family, back to my Cali friends. Sigh. I've missed everyone. Yes, even you, obscure blog stalker, even you.
Now to go kick back in front of the TV for a little while, eat something (if I can find food), and tomorrow, I'll conquer the task of fitting two grown men and six suitcases (and then some) into my car. Thank goodness my car is a beast.
Next time I post something, it'll be from the Golden state. Hallelujah!
Thank you everyone for all the support and love you've shown me this semester. I love you!

Nineteen
Sorry to any loyal readers who've missed my blogs in the last few weeks. I've been off the map, as far as blogging goes.
My nineteenth birthday came and went, I started a new journal (as I do every year on my birthday), I went to classes (a birthday first for me), and had a lovely little party that my roommates threw together for me. First, a big thanks to everyone who sent me birthday love. Even the facebook comments made me feel less stranded.
The semester is finally winding down, we've started packing up the apartment, and I start finals this week. It's insane, realizing that the semester is over. Part of me can't believe I survived it outside of a looneybin.
I drive to SLC on the 22nd, the rest of the way home on the 23rd, and then I'm calling my old boss, telling him I'm home, and hopefully starting work again the following weekend. Which could not come at a better time, because I'm pretty much broke again. Whoot! I swear, one of these days, I'll figure out how to finish a semester with something left in my account. It doesn't matter how much I start with, I always end with zero. Oops.
As far as news goes, we have another orchestra concert this Wednesday, which will feature Simple Symphony and St. Nicholas by Benjamin Britton. I already mentioned finals and packing...that's about as exciting as my life has been lately. Really just kind of ho-hum. The most exciting thing that happened in a while was coming home from church today to discover that the lawn right outside my bedroom window had flooded and seeped through the walls to soak a huge portion of my carpet. The baseboards and one of the bedframes got a little soaked, but nothing else has sustained too much damage. We had to figure out how to move the sturdy wood desk and captain bed away from the wall in our already tiny bedroom. Our manager said they'll likely wait until we've moved out to repair the damage, and luckily we're not being held liable for it. All the same, the disarray of the furniture in my bedroom will definitely make packing my things that much more stressful. I don't do well in cramped places.
That's the best I can do as far as blog updates go. This is probably the most boring thing I've posted in a while. Sorry, the creativity just hasn't been here.
Love always,
Katie
