hellooooooooo everyone (which is less than or equal to probably no one)
i hope you're all enjoying your summers! i am trying to get used to being home, and it's finally working out, when i realize that i'm leaving again in 1.5 months. why is it that once you get settled you have to move again? (ok-- so that's not entirely true-- i spent 6 months being "settled" in utah) but anyway.
right now i am being graced by the presence of a one miss nichole bennett who happens to be sleeping over my house tonight! hurrah for roommate sleepovers! of course... living together for 5 months kind of takes the novelty out of sleepovers, but still fun. mm-hmmm.
the chimney guys came on tuesday and started at their ever-so-enjoyable work of tearing down our old chimney and rebuilding it to its previous stature. ... which is code for loud and obnoxious banging in the wee hours of the morning. ... "wee hours" being code for 8-10 am.
anyway.
that's about all i've got for you tonight.
i guess you'll just have to call to get more detail :P

25 days in ten minutes or less
hello ladies and gentlemen!
it has recently been brought to my attention that i have not updated my blog in almost a month! i pointed out to this reader (who shall remain anonymous) that i haven't written much because i don't feel like i have much to say anymore. my life is made up of work for freshman academy, working at friendly's, and working at the high school. and that's about it!
it's been really nice weather here for the past couple weeks, except today has been taken over by much much rain. i do not like the rain. i'm one of those people that runs from their cars to get shelter so i don't have to get too wet. of course then i realize how silly it is that i'm running away from water. but whatever.
i've been hanging out with michelle quite a bit since i got home. we go to lunch and shop and generally have a good time. it's nice to catch up with her. going to school to work is just a little weird-- the kids seem so young-- even though i know that less than a year ago, i was one of them. it makes me think how glad i am to not be in high school anymore. because with high school comes seminary. and... getting up at 5:30 am was never one of my favorite things. now that i've spent a year in college not having to get up a single day before 7 am, (which i thought was ridiculously early), i have wondered how i survived high school. getting up that early and having to go to a solid block of classes for 6 hours and then spending at least 3 hours after school every day for extra-curricular stuff. i honestly don't know how i did it.
anyway. so the high school is just weird. mostly because of the fact that, as i said, it's a high school, and i'm a college student. but moving on...
so i'm working for ms. line now. she has a LOT of stuff. like... a lot. but it's generally all in the right place, just not organized at all once it gets there. so i've been organizing binders and stuff because she's got a ton of them. and then i've been typing some stuff for her, which is good because i'm generally good at typing. sometimes i go visit ms. stillman or mrs. bing for a little while during my day, but that's about it. on friday i ate school lunch again! i was excited about the lunch part-- a full meal for like $2. but it was definitely weird to walk into the cafeteria again. eewww weird.
anyway. so yeah. that's been the extent of my daily happenings. not much to say, as i said. i've been trying to read more, but haven't read more than two pages of anything yet. but i have to read for freshman academy and the reading is due tomorrow, so i guess i'll be spending most of my rainy day at home reading about how to make the best out of my first year experience. yupppp.
ummmm... what else can i even think of?! OH! ok-- i got my hair cut about a week ago. it's at my shoulders and then it has all sorts of layering and angling and stuff so it's different. but... i don't like it. which is why i haven't posted any pictures of it. the woman insisted more layers and the addition of angles would make it look "so much more texture-ee". i didn't really have the heart to say no. before i got my hair cut, it was all generally one length and then it had about an inch of layering at the end of it. so when the hairdresser asked me what i wanted her to do, i told her "i just want it like it is now, just at my shoulders." she said ok and then cut it all to my shoulders. she says "you just want it one length?" i said "well, it had some layers at the bottom before." and she looks at me like oh-my-gosh-i-can't-believe-you're-this-stupid-and-i-can't-believe-i-have-to-explain-this-to-you and then says "well yeah, but we cut that off."
ooo wow, thank you captain obvious.
oy. anyway. so to make the story short, she cut all these layers and angles into it and it's a little... shaggy? looking. i can't think of the right word but it does that weird flip thing. where the bottom flips out and all the hair above that flips in. it's weird. i don't like it, as i said. i can get it to look semi-normal if i spend time blow-drying it all to curl under. then it looks fine. but when it just dries, it looks a little strange. i said i felt like a guy in a 90s boy band-- with the long shaggy hair. megan said i look like a 10 yr old. however, mrs. bing told me it looked very "chic" sooooo i guess this haircut is getting mixed reviews.
well anyway. it's kind of sad to think the most exciting thing that's happened to me in almost a month is getting a bad hair cut! :P
obviously other things have happened, but... if i've already told those things to the people that i wanted to hear them, so if i didn't tell you, i'm sorry-- i suppose you lose this time.
ummmm. oh! i walked ms. stillman's dog once. that was kind of exciting. and i started my job at friendly's. and i've been talking to friends a lot to keep in touch. nichole (my roommate from freshman year who lives in CT with her sister) got a call unexpectedly that her father died a couple weeks ago so i went and visited with her and drove her family (such as it was) to the airport. it was really sad and i felt so heart-broken for her and her family. but they are all such strong girls and think with a little time they'll be generally alright. i found out just a couple days ago that marlene webster (the first friend i made at girls' camp who was also my first friend in my stake, outside of my ward-- we were really close for a while until the boundaries got changed and she got reassigned to a different stake.) also lost her father. i knew he had been sick with pancreatic cancer, and i followed the blog their family kept, so i knew it must be coming soon, but it's still sad. marlene's an amazing person-- her whole family is amazing. sooo hopefully megan and i will be able to make it to the funeral on wednesday night.
anyway. i suppose that's enough sad news for one day. i have to get up and shower now so i can be at the school to work at 11.30. soooo yeah.
i hope you're all doing well and i hope you keep me updated!
until again,
mollie
