It can be a wonderful thing, but only in moderation. Finding that out the hard way is no fun at all. I got a letter from Tim this week, and you know how it always gets to me. But last night, the crew and I went for a walk around the duck pond, and I'm sure they got sick of my stories from freshman year by the time we got back to the car. Those were just some real special times for me, and it makes warm feelings in me to look back on them. But I've got a life to live, and I need to get the rest of my 31 flavors in during the next 7 months.
I feel like I'm in some kind of rut. Not sure which kind, but I need something big to happen. I have nothing particular in mind, but something to start a motion in my life. I've been thinking a lot about what I'll do for Summer term, July and August. There are two options: continue living at the Colony and just visit home for a couple weeks, or move home for those two months. There are so many pros and cons for either choice, but I'm not sure which one is right. Your two cents on the matter would be much appreciated.
In other news, I also got a letter from Blaine, and he is pretty much the best. Teaching PE went well on Thursday, and Jake Chatfield is in my class, which is pretty fun. My warts are gone- horray! I made some delicious cookie dough last night. I won in a wrestling match with Leesa, and now Scotti owes me $20 dollars. I've resolved to ask someone on a date, but I don't know who yet, or what we'll do. I got to talk to a lot of the fam this week, and that's always a plus. Last but not least, I have two awesome nephews.

7 months sounds like a long time, but it will fly by so fast - trust me! :)
And my $.02 on the summer debacle is that you stay in Provo - I think working, partying and rooommate-ing will do you a lot of good. Also, selfishly, I want you to drive down to Carlie's graduation and back with me and Jack, which necessitates you coming back!
And, obviously, that last comment (from Caleb) is actually from me, Holly Flanagan.
Cari votes for you sticking around, because this is going to be my first summer in Provo ever!
Also, we should hang out sometime.
I would say you should stay in Provo. It would probably be best for you. Also (and I don't mean for this to sound condescending, so don't take it that way), I happen to be of the opinion that your "rut" isn't any real rut at all, rather, just a skewed perception of your life at large. It has probably just become biased based on a number of things (friends, scheduling, comparisons, etc) so what you think your current state of life is actually turns out to be a matter of opinion rather than fact. That probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but if you want me to explain it better, come by and ask. In the meantime, we should play.
