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
