this is what we call routine

so i pretty much feel established here. i'm no longer awed and wowed by the happenings here. i mean, don't get me wrong i still love it to death. but the newness of everything is starting to wear off.
i've fallen into my routine.
which isn't necessarily good but its not necessarily bad.
-i no longer have to look up what building my classes are in.
-i'm getting used to waking up at 7 everymorning (but i dont think i'll ever be TOTALLY used to it)(its kind of funny that now waking up at 9 is sleeping in... not in a hillarious way, more like i hate my life and i need sleep)
-i'm seeing more and more familiar faces in the crowd.
-the drama's started. haha.. oh drama.
-complaining has started. not on my part, i try my hardest not to. but people are starting to take advantage of what they have here.
you hear the first week so many times in prayers "and we are so thankful for this university and for the spirit of ricks that is here."
but i hear that less and less, and i think people forget what an awesome place this really is.
-i have the readings and the workload down for every class. which was really hard because i would forget that some class would have a quiz or that i had to read this one thing for another class. but i think i've got them figured out
-i know which annoying kids NOT to sit next to in each class.
-little things about my room mates that didn't bother me in the first couple weeks are starting to get on my nerves. but i really do try my hardest to not think about it and not get irritated.
-dishes are piling up. we were like the cleanest people. it didn't even look like anybody lived in our dorm but now we're getting lazy. like just dumb stuff lazy like leaving something in the sink that could clearly have been thrown away in the garbage 2 feet away (example empty yogurt cup) and i always have to take out the garbage because tawni will tie the garbage and set it by the door but nobody will actually take it out. lame.
-but we did get 100% on our last clean check. so at least we clean up well.
-i'm getting more and more apt to go to the galley than actually cook. maybe its because i've ran out of my good food. but probably more i'm just lazy

everybody's just settling in. and its nice but i do miss the newness a little. but it really feels like my second home here. i have awesome people around me that love me (more than i think they should lol). and i'm seriously seriously going to miss how things are this semester. because they will never be this way again. they'll be good i'm sure, just a new good, a different good.

oh. ps. you know how it was like blizzarding here on sunday? yea. it was pretty much really warm today. like in the high 50's.
oh bi-polar weather.
