I am not a Blogger at heart.

So I am not a blogger at heart. As you all can see it is hard for me to remember to blog. I do enjoy to read other peoples blogs. So I feel like because people share with me that I need to share with them. I will just give a short story or two from the semester.
I live in an old apartment here in Rexburg. I have lived here for 3 years of school. I have grown quite found of it. The problem is that it is falling apart. Well really we just have a couple of nasty problems here. Earlier this semester our managers, who live right below us, started to notice a leak flowing into there apartment. The leak was coming from our bathroom area. Sick I know. Well they called some folks to come look at it. They found that the pipes were struggling. As Frank our owner gave the okay to get that fixed. That meant that we were going to be down one bathroom for two days or so. Once they ripped out our shower they found a surprise. MOLD!! Ya the black kind. Did you know that stuff can kill people. Well this was making the project turn into a crazy mess. The fix it guys called Frank to tell him they would have to rip out the whole bathroom. Frank told them to just cover it. Yes that is what I said. He just wanted to cover it up. Our manager told him that we knew what was going on and bad things would happen if he didn't fix the problem the right way. So after some thought he told them to take care of it the right way. Good thing because I am sure really bad things would happen to him if he wouldn't have. That whole mess took about 10 days to get fixed. So for 10 days all 6 of us had to share one bathroom. Yes the bathroom that has mold growing on the walls. The housing office knows about that now so we will see if something really happens with that. That is just a taste of how this semester in this apartment went.
Alright so I think you all get to deal with just that story. I can't tell all my stories in one day. Remember I am trying to write on this more often.

This is just a picture from the Basic Skills trip I went on this semester. I was a TA.

Eewww! Black mold = bad news. I hate it when managers/land lords try to take short cuts...don't they know that it will come back to bite them back!?!?

It is good to read/see an update! I miss you!
