A Post in Four Parts because I don't know what else to do

1. It's freaking winter outside. We're lucky to see the temperature above 0 degrees, and there's several inches of white stuff all over the place. And by all over the place, I mean in the streets too. Luckily there it's just a slushy mess, but it's still there! Rexburg, along with most of Western America, got majorly hit by the White Christmas bug. 

2. I won't be staying in Rexburg for the Winter semester, nor will I be staying in Chicago. I'm actually planning on staying in the Bountiful area with J's grandmother. The job market is undoubtedly better there (you try to find a job in a tiny isolated college town in the dead of winter with no car) and I'll get four months of time with J and his family. That's an opportunity I just can't pass up. I'm excited to live it. 

3. That means I need to sell my Winter contract though, because I signed up for it too soon. This is actually a bit tougher than I thought it would be, because I suck at selling things. But hopefully it goes soon. I mean,  Aspen Village is a wonderful place!

4. I'm going home in a couple of weeks and man that is going to be CRAZY. I don't particularly want to do so, but I don't completely have a choice. It's been eight months since I left, and I really like it here. Home is full of psycho family members who I still haven't gotten over, and memories I don't wish to revisit. But I shall, because Christmas is apparently about loved ones and family members (though, I consider myself closer to J's family than my own).
