All kinds of things!

Since the last time I wrote all kinds of things have happened, and I'm finally able to sit down and just write them all out!

Work finished, and well, we can say I went out with a "bang". Unfortunately, my last day was during a ridiculously hot day and I got really sick because of it. The company I work for had to cover their bases so I got a nice ride to the ER in the back of an ambulance. It was really stressful and even though it was almost two weeks ago my arm is still recovering from a botched IV. I'm fine, and it was not a big deal all in all.
This last week I was on the road for roughly 34 hours! I had to be in Pullman for a few days for transfer student orientation and then Dad and I did a short trip to Bozeman to sell his truck camper.

Pullman was a lot of fun, got to meet some new people, including one of my new roommates (Lindsay). Lizzie (one of David's roommates and a friend of mine) was kind enough to let me crash on her floor. We had a fantastic time and didn't raise too much hell. I have to say that I'm extremely excited to live with Lindsay, she's such a cool laid back chick! This year is going to rock! During orientation I also changed my major (I know right? Again!?) and am perusing my degree in History with a teaching option. My goal is to change the way history is taught in high school. There's no reason history should ever be boring, but I'll write more about that later.

I got back from Pullman on Monday night and left with Dad for Missoula on Tuesday morning. We made it to Missoula (I slept most of the way) and had a wonderful laid back night in Missoula. The Rattlesnake river was as beautiful as ever and the walk was very nice and relaxing after multiple hours in the car. The next morning we got up and drove to Bozeman in hopes of taking a ride at a friends outfit near Bozeman. Unfortunately my friend was thrown from his new horse that morning and those plans were canceled. Dad and I did check out the Museum of the Rockies, Hyalite Canyon, and got to see old friends before driving back to Missoula that night. I didn't feel too great that night so we ended up skipping on dinner and just crashing. Thankfully, we slept in for a little while on Thursday morning before getting breakfast at a little Missoula joint called The Shack and then heading back west to Seattle.

Its been an awesome week or so and even though I'm no longer working a "real" job I'll be working as a house keeper for Mom and Dad to pay for some of the bedroom things I need for when I move back to Pullman in August.

Oh yes! Before I forget here's my new address starting in August

Well there you go, all updated on the past two crazy weeks! I will hopefully write sooner, but will definitely be writing more once I'm back in Pullman!
