First Impressions Can Suck

So after an 11.5 hour trip from Clovis to Provo, I am somewhat settled in. I can't find my phone charger, which is unsettling...but hopefully it's just in my car.

Anyway, the real purpose of this post was to describe what could potentially be an early misconception: I believe the guys who live in the room next door are complete nerds. According to Skyler, they speak "Changlish" which is apparently the Chinese-English hybrid spoken by RM's who served in Taiwan. He said, in a joking manner, "If you hear me and Mark speaking Chinese in full sentences, we are probably just saying bad things about you, so don't worry." His humor is alarming. But I'm not writing to attack this guy. I'm sure he's cool in his own right. I just don't want to live with him.
Fortunately I have my own room (in which I was able to open my eye faucets momentarily when I arrived and felt the gravity of the situation bearing down on me).

Tomorrow I really just want to go to the Academy Ward, have dinner with my family, and spend the evening with the Fites. I also want an education and solid career potential...but at this very moment I want it less than those other things.


Tyler seems to be a pretty cool guy though. He's from the Seattle area and appears much more down-to-earth. Thank heavens.

Well, enough whining. The Lord has blessed me too much already. Time for trials and faith and good times.

  1. Just give it time, kiddo. (And when those nerds start speaking "Changlish" around you, just say something rude in Spanish and laugh and say, "Oh don't worry, I'm just saying bad things about you. Hahaha!")
