So I have found a place to live next year! I am super excited about it. Here's the story. Originally I was planning to live on-campus. I know that only freshmen lived there but I wanted to be on-campus to just get situated. After all, the freshman would only be a year younger than me. I had rationalized all of the cons in my mind flawlessly.
My housing registration date is tomorrow at 4:00 pm. However, when I got on to check on Wednesday the place I wanted to live in had totally filled up. Lame! So then I decided I would live in another on-campus housing option. It's still on-campus housing, but it's like an apartment. Well then I got on Friday to check and had filled up! Double lame! So all that left one on-campus option. Those rooms are just like dorm rooms. I wouldn't have a kitchen and I wouldn't even have my own bathroom. So I decided I was going to look off-campus.
That's when I texted my friend Kelli. She had already told me about living with her but I was so set on living on-campus that I declined the offer. I texted her and asked if she still had a spot available in her condo and she said yes!
Yeah, we are going to be fantastic roommates. A bit about the condo: It has shag carpet, a fireplace, a huge kitchen and living room, a washer and dryer in the apartment, a five minute walk to campus, and there will be three of us living in it next year. Kelli and I are sharing a room and then there will be one other girl. There's only one bathroom in it but I'm used to sharing a bathroom with Keldonna and Avy.
I'm so excited that everything worked out. I think it's going to be a fantastic year. I'm super excited about living with Kelli. I've known her for a very long time and we have always had a blast together. Did I mention she has a huge tv and surround sound? :D
In other news, I am officially allergic to Virginia. The good thing is I really don't mind being allergic to springtime in Virginia because it is so beautiful! I am addicted to all of these pretty blossoms and flowers. I just want to spend every second outside taking pictures of them.

Since my allergies have been acting up, I didn't end up going to the temple on Saturday like I was planning to. There was some confusion with our scheduling so the baptistery ended up being booked when we were supposed to be there. Instead we were going to do grounds work. I am pretty sure I sneezed over fifty times on Friday so I decided doing work outside would probably not have been a good idea. I'm grateful that I was able to go to the DC temple once while I've been out here in Virginia. It was so nice to be at the place that sealed my family together eternally.

Instead I went with my roomies to a Chinese restaurant. It wasn't as good as we would have hoped, but we still had fun going there. It's always nice to just get off of campus every so often. It was pouring rain when we were walking back up here though. We were very grateful we brought umbrellas.

Well, that's mostly it for this week. I'm super excited about living with Kelli. It's going to be so much fun. Yet, to echo my last post, I'm sad to be leaving here and be leaving my roomies here. I love Virginia.
