First Week Back

So we're all back together for school and such. It's really strange being on campus as a sophomore and there are some strange things that I noticed.
Campus is almost crowded there are so many people, I was in the library and my normally quiet empty study area was full and slightly annoyingly loud. So I found a chair to sit in put my headphones in and promptly fell asleep. When I awoke like 20 minutes later there was this girl who was sitting across from me just staring at me, she kinda freaked me out, watching me sleep like some female version of Edward Cullen . . . Freaky!!!
But all in all I'm pretty excited to be back no more lounging around doing practically nothing.
                         So long and thanks for all the fish

"What's in a name?"

Specifically, the name John.  About a month ago, I had a dream in which a certain individual from my recent past bearing the name in discussion informed a friend of mine that while I wasn't dating anyone now, that I would be dating him in the fall.  Naturally, this kind of creeped me out.  A lot.  With this dream in the forefront of my mind, I ended up thinking about all the people named John (not J-o-n, that "h" does make a difference) that I know.  After thinking through various Johns of my acquaintance -- from the obnoxious redhead in elementary school who drove me absolutely crazy for years to my mom's stepbrother (who apparently doesn't like us enough to condescend to talk to us on the rare occasions when family functions are a mix of Morrils and Agrens) to the John I encountered in institute during the most recent year of school -- I concluded that people named John and people named Korbie did not mix. 
This verdict seemed a little harsh, however, so I decided to look to characters called John in various books and movies.  Having recently finished watching Little Dorrit (which, obnoxiously, was horribly horribly scratched all through the climax. . .don't laugh, it was too tragic) didn't particularly help my opinion of people named John.  In fact, the character John Chivery probably scared me more than Rigaud did for a few episodes (he reminded me far too much of John-from-my-institute-class. . .), simply because the I have a John Chivery equivalent in my life.  There were many other characters named John that further perpetuated the stereotype -- mad King John of Robin Hood fame in My Unfair Godmother, John Willoughby and John Dashwood of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, John Yates in Mansfield Park, John Thorpe of Northanger Abbey, and John Wattlesbrook in Austenland and Midnight in Austenland.   I had completely given up on ever being able to meet anyone named John without pre-judgment, but then. . .then I watched North and South with Melanie, and remembered that Mr. Thornton's name first name is John. And while I likely would not marry the modern-day equivalent of John Thornton, I do like and respect the character a great deal.  So, to all the Johns out there in the world -- y'all owe a big thank you to Mrs. Gaskell, just saying.

The Most Random Life Updates

So we really are absolutely terrible at updating this blog . . . but it's still kinda fun to go vent to the internet when you are bored. Teehee ;) Don't worry I'm not going to vent . . . well maybe just a teeny bit. So the last little while has been significantly insignificant really. I conquered my fear of water this month. Woot! It only took 19 years. This occurance was the result of two things. 1. The cute boys from across the street dragging me into a pool and me not wanting to look like an idiot who thinks she is allergic to water. 2. Wake boarding at Lake Mead with my favorite family, The Murri's :). They do have a talent of making me do things that bring me out of my comfort zone. Speaking of wake boarding. I now have a ginormous bruise on my arm that people can't seem to stop poking. It's a really nasty looking bruise that's about the size of a softball. I got it from wake boarding. But, if anybody asks I'm in a gang and got in a bad rumble ;). This last week our toilet seat broke. Really random right? Well I did promise randomness. Not sure how it broke but it did. Like it cracked all the way through. No fat jokes please. Haha. Andrea got a new job which is super exciting for her. Sad for me, I'm not gonna have a friend at work for a whole month. :(. But I'm super happy for her. Kaitlin started school, it's kinda weird not having her around during the day. Especially since Andrea and I go to work shortly after she gets home so we really only see her at night. I have a feeling this summer is going to last forever. Last month, May, seemed to go on forever. I'm hoping that it goes fast but I doubt it will. I got into English 2010!! Which is like a miracle because it is the most desired class, I swear. Dylan left for his mission. For that matter everyone is leaving for their missions haha. Our old room mate from 402 is getting married tomorrow. I don't think any of us are attending the reception haha. But good for her and I wish them both luck. I really like our new ward, of course I can't speak for Andrea, but I think it's fun. Well, today is friday and that means the week is already looking up! That's life right now, I hope you enjoyed the dullness we brought to yours ;).
                                                    - Love Always, Felicia.

Visitors!

Well, I have officially moved in. Well actually I moved in a few weeks ago . . . but thats besides the point. In case you are all wondering, we have found the solution to our boring white walls. We started a quote wall. It is pretty sad at the moment but as we are always saying odd or funny things I am pretty sure it will become pretty impressive. On another note I think there is something wrong with Felicia and I. The other night we were watching a movie you know just enjoying the night when our door opens and two boys step in. Do we know these boys? No. Well not as far as we know because they are completely covered in black body suits that are over their faces. Do they say anything? No. They just come in and sit down and start watching for a few minuts. Do we do anything about this? Yes, We just laugh. Somehow I don't think this is the proper reaction when two strange men walk into our apartment. It's a college town, that makes it all better right?
Not sure whether to keep laughing or call 911

New Apartment

Alright so this will be mine and Felicia's second night in our new place, Andrea will be joining us in a week and Jane in the fall.
It's kind of strange, the first week at Apt. 402 felt like living in a hotel, lots of stairs and card keys. Living here kind of feels like someone else's house. But we'll get used to it . . .
Not the same without Andrea but the week will pass quickly enough. And of course we will miss Jane, but Summer tends to pass quickly, soon we'll all be roommates again.
I think I'm going to miss the beige walls of Apt. 402, white is a little too bland for the girls for Apt. 402 . . . although beige is bland too just not as much as white . . . Oh well.
I think it's time to wake Felicia from her nap.
