In Rexburg Again!

I've been here in Rexburg for 5 days now!  It is waaay great seeing old friends again, and meeting new ones!  I like my new room, but the rest of the apartment isn't as likable.  The kitchen is barely a notch up from what you'd find in a simple motel, lol.  But, my room is bigger than the living room, and I get it all to myself!  I decorated it up the way I like it, and it's all chic and cozy now.  However, I don't have internet at my apartment yet.  I'm still working on that!  I have 2 roommates who would also like internet, so I am borrowing a router from Robby, and once we all have enough money, we'll contract a wireless internet provider!  It's $28/mo, but between the 3 of us, it'd only be $10/mo!  Yippy!
I'm working on getting a job too.  Melaleuca called the other day with a 'hotshot' availabilty, which translates to 4 days a month, and I don't think that'd work for me.  I asked if there was a possibility of accepting that job and then changing to a full-time position once one came up, but they were like "No, if you accepted this job, you'd have to stay as a 'hotshot' for at least 3 months."  Lame!  Also, I talked to Mary at Nature's Nook today (she's one of the bosses) and she's going to drive me to Rick (THE boss) so that I can get an interview.  Apparently he shattered his leg or ankle or something and is still recovering.  Ouch!
I went to FHE tonight too!  I'm in my old ward from when I lived at the Ridge!  Since I live in 'community' housing this fall, they don't have assigned singles' wards, just family wards.  So the managers told me I could pick my own!  It is soooo great being in my old 70th ward again!  And the bishop is super excited about getting my mission stuff going!  I'm super excited!
Well, it's getting kind of late!  I'm at the McKay library right now, using their awesome iMacs!
Also, I think I must have walked anywhere between 10-15 miles today.  Who needs a gym when you don't have a car?!  It's great!
