Good news! My meal plan started a week ago so I can eat and not have to live off of Cup of Noodles anymore! YAY!!! Still even eating the cafeteria, I have not eaten so much rice and noodles in my life. Almost every meal guaranteed even for breakfast on most days.
My roommate came in last week and we are getting along great. I like her very much. She is Hawaiian and very pretty and her name is Ka'ili. We've both been pretty helpful to one another though sometimes we have a slight problem when it comes to doing things because we're so laidback that we don't care. It can also get a little confusing because both our names end in the "lee" sound so in big groups we both respond.
It's saturday. Basically everything except Foodland is closed on Saturday.
I've been to three beaches so far, all the ones close to campus. They're all very beautiful though it gets a little cold at night. Last night I went to a bonfire with Ka'ili and a few other friends, Shannel and Cheney, who are both pretty cool. I was so tired as it was after midnight. I feel asleep in the sand and woke up to people running away. I guess someone had called the firetruck and it's illegal to build bonfires on the beach unless you're cooking food but everyone does it anyway. I'll bring hot dogs next time. Shrug.
I do have a job now! I'm actually at work now-but since it's saturday nothing is really going on. I am a Media Technician at Media Services in the Library. During the week, I go into different classrooms and both set-up and pick-up different equipment for teachers, check media out to students (usually headphones and dvds), take inventory, answer calls and fill out orders, etc. Dawnell, my boss, had me do some scheduling the other day as well. I like her but she is pretty intimidating. It's nerdy but I love to check things in and out. It's my favorite part of my job. Lucky for me it's all I have to do today! That's why I wanted to work in Circulation so bad. But maybe in a semester or two if there are openings.
Yep. I just checked out a pair of head phones. Go me :)
I started classes on Wednesday and am mostly enjoying myself. Right off the bat I dropped college algerbra haha. But I like my other ones I guess. I nearly feel asleep in Biology because it's a pretty early class but the teacher is making it fairly understandable. I can't tell if I'm going to love or hate astronomy. I've learned some pretty interesting things but the teacher is...interesting. He'll talk in a normal voice and then suddenly throw it up a few octaves every couple sentences. And he enjoys the phrase "Gory Detail." I counted during class yesterday. He used it six times. Two of those times in the same sentence.
I'm also enjoying my two theatre classes thus far. I'm taking Acting 1 and Intro to Theatre, which is more on the history and different types. I really like the teacher here, Craig Ferre. Our fall play is Noises Off, which I auditioned for on Thursday and have a callback on Monday. I don't know how good my chances of making it in are but if not it's ok. Contemporary/Comedy/Straight play is SOOO not my style. I'm really looking forward to winter term when there is the Shakespeare Play and the Musical. They haven't announced the musical yet but it's Winter's Tale for Shakespeare. That one is actually not going to be directed by the theatre teacher but I did meet the director who felt inclined to introduce himself to me at my Noises Off audition. Anyway, I'm excited for my callback. I have no idea what we'll be doing so wish me luck!
Also went to Latino Club on Wednesday by invitation of the "Choir King" here at BYUH. It was a lot of fun and made me miss ballroom so much. Especially competing. I think I will look for a partner once I've figured out my work schedule and play rehearsal if I get in because I'm not sure how those are working out right now. So if I have time I'm going to do it. I'm itching to choreography. I miss my dance room. Worldfest was this past couple of days and that's where you can join all the clubs. I joined Latino, obviously, Samoan, Tongan, and Tahitian because I'd love to learn to Tahitian Dance as well.
I also learned how to play pool yesterday. My new polynesian friend, Nafe, taught me and somehow I won but that's just because he striked a lot. I actually really liked it and did make some pretty good shots. Hopefully I get some skills. Nafe is pretty awesome too. He was actually in my astronomy class and dropped that and took acting instead to get a break from all his science and math classes. He is actaully from Utah but he is Tongan and has a poly accent.
I might come home speakin like a Poly. All my friends so far are either Latino or Poly. They've adopted me so to speak haha. Here it's called pigeon.
Last but not least, I caught a gecko, his name is Mo'o and he was my pet for a day. He died last night. We think he was sick or old because he didn't run away when I caught him and when I brought him back to my room, he just let the bugs sit on him instead of hunting or anything. I'm pretty sad about that. Like genuinely upset. He was pretty much my pride and joy for the whole 12 hours we knew each other. Ka'ili told me not to worry and that I took good care of him in his final hours. Levi, you may be right about me just loving things literally to death. May Mo'o rest in peace.
He's also basically the only thing I have pictures of because I haven't been very diligent with my camera lately. So no pictures this time :(
And that's basically it. I miss everyone. When are you going to come visit eh? I hope you are all doing well and I will write again soon! Mahalo!
