The End of an Era

Well, It's official. The Summer has begun. (despite what it looks like outside.) My amazing roommates from the winter semester are all but moved out. Rebbecca's stuff is still in the apartment, but she won't be sleeping there ever again. Jessica has her stuff gone, but stayed the night anyway. Shhh, housing doesn't need to know. She was my guest, of course. And my new roommate has moved in. Yeah, as of today, I will only have one roommate for the entire semester. Crazy. But kind of cool. Natalie is great. She is getting married Aug 7. So, with her, I almost get Diego (her man.) as a roommate too. And when she gets married, it's looking like I will be living a lone for 2 weeks, until the Fall semester starts.

I would just like to recount some facts about my apartment. Firstly, I randomly found Sandy looking to sell her contract for Stadium Terrace 17 Winter semester, back in Nov. Then I called her, talked to her, and felt really good about buying the contract. I should also mention that I had called lots of other people trying to sell contracts and had never gotten a hold of anyone. Well, then I didn't have the money for the large deposit, since I had quit my job. I told Sandy to call me in December if no one had bought her contract yet. Well, she called and we worked out a deal, and I moved in on Jan 5. From the start the girls in my apartment have been great. We made a ton of great memories. And I would like to conclude with a final one, with Jessica.

Last night. I got home from the temple and was really hungry. Then I got some food at about 11pm. And I started to watch the last half of a movie on tv. Jessica came home!! joy! I was alone before that. Which was totally fine. But we watched it together and then decided to go to bed at midnight. Psych. I went into my room and looked at my dresser and said, "I am taking your dresser!" to Jessica. Then she said, "Do you want to move it right now?" "Um..... Yeah!!" Part of my reasoning in those few seconds was that, a.) moving furniture with someone else is a lot easier than by yourself. b.) moving furniture at midnight, is always going to be fun because of the sleep deprivation factor. Here are some highlights from the dresser moving adventure:
-"What is that?!" I exclaimed. "A Dolly" "It doesn't look very sturdy."
-"Do you have it?" "Yes but, I may need to pooh now."
-"We should move the dresser first, because my butt doesn't fit in there."
-strange sound is made, other roommate says, "All right Pumba! Calm down!"

laughing attacks followed each of the above statements. The End.

Goodbye beloved STno.17 Winter 2009 roommates! It was grand! love your guts!

Becky, (Mandee), Jessica, Marie, Rebecca.

BAHAHAHAHAHAH! Did you hear that they charged me? The office girl came by and asked if there was anyone still there that hadn't moved yet, and I was like: "uh, me". So she tried to charge me $65, and then I made a comment that Rebecca only had to pay $15 a night, and she dropped it to $15.
P.S. How great was moving the dresser? Fantastic.

That apartment will be missed. I hope Jessica can keep in touch with everyone for me because I know I am terrible at it. But I hope to see everyone soon!
