hey, erchap

it's sunday night and i can't sleep.
actually, i haven't tried too hard yet
because that just means morning will come faster.

there's lightning and rain outside.
there has been almost every night since i moved in.
it's beautiful.

i'm not scared for classes to start.
i really can't wait to get into a routine
and see what college really is.
but i am a little nervous about how it's all going down tomorrow.

it will be great.

i am a college student, so i can get away with things like this:

peppermint tea in the pyrex for what better be a tired throat,
not a sick one.
my giraffe mug broke and this baby was perfect.
i'm all about using my resources,
especially if it means fewer dishes.

so here's what i learned today:
was too excited about beard man to finish before


ysa wards are hilarious.
boys.
hand holding.
talking (or in my case, laughing) at inappropriate times.
love stories from the stake president.
boys doing things to make girls laugh.
or think they're cute (until you remember they're getting their mission call this week).
introducing yourself 1248758713920395 times.
boys praying: "we're thankful for all these beautiful people in our ward... and the brethren too."

i can not make these things up.
all things considered, i adore my ward.
we are quality.

and i have never had so much fun at ward choir, ever.

night, ya'll.
