Catching Up.

Sorry its been a couple days since I've posted something. Let me get you all caught up.

First off...we had a death in the family...one of our three goldfish died this morning. I sent him or her on there way down to a new life. Flushing the toilet was a tear jerker...

Today was our first day of tennis practice! Woohoo! It wasn't totally a official practice though, because two of the girls on the team are international students, so they didn't have their insurance set up. So far on the team there are six girls. While the two international girls were setting things up with Coach, the other four of us went out and hit for an hour then went and worked out for about 30 minutes before some of us had to go to class. Tomorrow everything will be ready. The tennis season doesn't start until the spring, so for now we will just practice and have some pre season matches.

Yesterday was my first day in my new ward. Small, but comfortable. My roommate did say something about wearing a fohawk to church. Hey, the way I see it, they don't have to like it or agree with it. But its me, I don't care what people think. Not going to lie though. My roommate and I played an epic game of Dots the whole three hours. Dots covered the whole paper program. It was awesome. (For those of you who don't know what Dots is, you connect dots to make boxes. But you only get to draw one line each turn. So strategy is to try not to let your opponent make a box.) After church we all took around 3 hour naps. It was great. That night we baked brownies and watched A Walk to Remember. I love that movie. My roommates were making fun of me because I knew all the words to the songs. I love it so much. 

Just some random things....There are little lizards here. So far I have seen two. I want to catch one! They are so cool. The second one I saw had a blue tail. They are small. Also about a block away there is a little snow cone shack. They are delicious! $1 for a small, which is plenty. I want to walk there everyday. They are great to eat in this heat. A lot of the kids walking around campus wear jeans and a t-shirt. I feel like a rebel when I wear shorts. But I think the reason is that outside it is hot but inside the buildings it is cool. I get cold sitting in class sometimes. So yes, I have worn jeans to class. Something that is crazy to me too, is that they don't have fry sauce here! Some people make it, but its not a like a regular thing like back in Utah. I was dumb struck when someone told me that.

Amanda, my roomie and I will be sharing a post office box. When I get the address I will let you guys know.

Like I said if you guys want me to write about certain things, post a comment!
