Three weeks ago, I moved! I'm living south of campus now, and it's farther from my work but closer to campus. I really like my complex. Everyone's friendly, and my ward seems pretty awesome so far. Maybe my wardies just give really good first impressions... But I do have to say something: I heard that it's impossible to get guy friends once you're out of the freshmen wards because then all the guys are RMs, and they only date on the weekends, and they never want to hang out blah blah blah... Well, for all those people who say that BYU guys are always dating, I have yet to see proof. Either way, I need guy friends. No offence, ladies, but I grew up with six brothers AND seven sisters. I can't deal with the estrogen high. On a scale of 1 to 10, my interest in girly things (chick flicks, shopping, etc.) is about a 3.5. I'd rather watch Ironman or Taken over the Notebook any day of the week. I hate Titanic. And there I go getting on every girl's black list from here to the Atlantic. Pity.
Anyways, those boys can't go hiding behind their church shirts any longer. They're not going on dates every weekend, so it's time to get things rolling. People around here just need to get some guts and plan something randomly awesome. I will be one of those people, but in the mean time....
I joined the intramural ultimate frisbee team. I just need to get out of the house! Yeah...I've hated on ultimate most of my life. Like my entire life. Wo wo wo unto the hypocrite. It didn't help that every single youth leader who was BYU alumni made it a monthly mutual activity, usually in the dark. And it didn't help that I had the physical stamina of Cee Lo.
But in the last eight months, I've lost 40 pounds, and I love sports now! I don't feel stupid because I'm actually pretty decent. I guess I didn't like them before because I couldn't keep up. Now, when we have a game, no matter the sport, other people ask for a water break or are ready to quit when the game ends, but not me! I can keep going. That's what regular exercise and healthy meals can do. Walking 3mi a day probably helped a ton. I'm a Spartan! And an awesome soccer goalie by the way. My 6 year old soccer skills are resurfacing! Oh yeah! As for my ultimate frisbee skills.... Like the Kraken, they are dormant, hopefully soon to be awakened.
I can't believe there's only a little more than a month left in the spring semester! I thought it would last forever, but I'm almost halfway through, and I still feel like I have so many people to meet and causes to fight for before June 15 WHEN I FLY BACK TO ITALY!!!!!! In case I forgot to mention, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY FAMILY!!! I know I will regret saying that 15 min after getting into our van at the airport, but right now, there's no one else I'd rather see. Except a single BYU rugby player at my door. One of those is ALWAYS welcome.
