O Internet, How I Love You!

We finally got the internet for real at our house. The cable guy came the other day and put in the cable for our TV, and also a cable for internet, but we had to get a router so more than just one person could connect. So tonight Maya, Jenny and I headed over to Best Buy and got a wireless router. Then we came home and Jenny set it up all by herself. Go Jenny! And now we have real internet, not mooched off of random wireless networks around the neighborhood. Yay!

My House

Well, my last semester of school is underway. I'm two weeks in and mostly disenchanted. There's a point where you just get tired of going to school. That is where I am. And I have been there for at least 2 years.

Moving on.

I really like my new roommates. We get along quite swimmingly. Our favorite things to do together are watch 24 and play Rock Band. We have done one of those two things every day for the past two weeks (not counting Sunday).

Let me introduce you to them.

First, we have Jenny. She's 24 and is currently going to UVU (Utah Valley University) to get her teaching certificate. She plays the drums in real life in addition to being really awesome at them in Rock Band. Jenny gets lots of free stuff from boys that she dates. I don't know why, but I like it. Because we, the roommates, get perks from that. Here's some of the free stuff she's gotten: caramel nut brownies, Papa John's pizza, a lovesack, and Rock Band.

Next is Susie. Susie is the baby of the bunch. She's only 19, but she definitely meshes well with the rest of us. She's taking classes at the LDS Business College to get a degree in medical assisting or some such thing. I forget the details. Susie owns Jeremiah, who is a cat. Yes, we have a cat. I love it. Jeremiah is white with light brown tips and blue-eyed. He's adorable. Also, Susie's brother's roommate has pretty blue eyes. Just wanted to throw that in there.

Maya is in her last semester at BYU (Just like me! Yay!). She's 23, from Virginia, and half Filipino. Maya's taking a puppetry class right now, so she brings home her creations to show us. Fun! Her bedroom is kinda odd. It's all this dark wood, so it looks like she lives inside a ship.

Finally, we have Evelyn. She's only a temporary roommate, because she's going on a mission in November. She has red hair (at the moment) and plays the guitar.

And then there's me. Apparently, the girls have recently had a rather horrible roommate and are glad that I'm not strange. I'm glad we are bonding so quickly. Last year, it took awhile for me to really connect with my roommates. This year is much better.
