So the month of May flew into my life at a frightening speed. I have only been here 3 months but I feel that the days and weeks go by so fast. Matt and I FINALLY got to move into our place on the 15th and I fall in love with it everyday. I bought my queen sized mattress (first big girl bed ever!) on Craigslist and it just happened to be that the girlfriend/boyfriend who were selling it to me were moving back to the Mainland that same day. They still had a ton of stuff in their place so later I called them and asked if I could have it. Needless to say and thanks to this lovely couple from Oregon, I got a queen sized bed, 2 end tables, coffee table, kitchen table with 4 chairs, toaster, and couch for $100.00. Man I love Craigslist. Even though we don't have a ton in there the place feels like home. All we really need are decorative and some things for the dining room, oh and a tv ha.
Luckily we had that furniture or it would have been a real bummer when Caitlin, Melissa, and Cassie came. I had a great time with the girls here and miss them already. That has been the hardest thing here is not having a big group of girlfriends and guyfriends, but hopefully that will change in the next several weeks.
Lauryn and I are participating in a book club with Fanchon, Bryon's roommate. I am very excited. I have always wanted to be in a book club. Not sure if that makes me nerdy or intellectual. I didn't have a chance to read their first book with the girls being here but the second one, which we start this week, I already bought and are ready to read: The Secret Life Of Bees!
Work has been good but I am getting antsy to get back into the classroom. I just need to keep reminding myself that I came here to enjoy my youth and that I don't need to rush into a career.
There isn't much more to talk about,sorry for the lack of details and interesting things.
I'll come up with better things to do discuss next time ;)
Aloha,
Jenna
