Back in Black

My summer break is almost to an end, and I am back in Utah to start school again. I suppose the name of this post should actually be Back AND Black, because I am black, and I am back--pause for roaring laughter.  As the school year commences, I wanted to share five great things about my life today.

1. Kirsten 

After four months away from the person I have spent nearly every day with for the last five years, it was AWESOME to see her again, as I write she is currently sleeping, and making the funniest noises! She is my sister from another mister, and  my favorite foshosho<-- I promise to never say that again. We have already had so many adventures and I have only been here since Tuesday. One such adventure was when we found someones License to marry application in a stack of job applications!  Oh its good to have her back again (Also, doesn't she look FOXY!)

2. Fry Sauce 

 I don't know about anyone else, but I have to say that fry sauce is without a doubt one of my very favorite condiments in the world.  It is the perfect combination of flavours, and when you add it to fries from the Creamery, it is like heaven in your mouth. Now, I believe that the best fry sauce is from the Creamery on Ninth and while I know the rest of campus uses the same stuff, it just tastes better on Ninth Street. Also, the chocolate ice cream there is better then anywhere else in the world. Oh the Creamery, how I have missed it.

3. Mountains

  After living in Missouri for the last few months, it is the most glorious thing in the world to be living so close to them. Mountains are almost as amazing as the ocean, and I love the mountains here because I always know where I am, because they are always to the east.

4. My new apartment

Okay, this is going to sound super silly, but I love my new cheap apartment. It makes me happy to be in a little, QUIET, space. And, the best thing is I am across from the high school, so every afternoon for a while I can hear the marching band, and that is just awesome.

5. Schools about to begin

The beauty of school starting is the unknown. This year can be completely different, and I have complete control over it. I love the artificial environment where everyone can be someone new, in every class if they want.  Now me, I have been practically the same since 7th grade, I know who I am. But, you see I have new bruises, new experiences and new feelings about things, and it has helped shape me to become a stronger person. And, I am ready to face what the crazy-o town has for me. Bring it on BYU!
