New Semester

Well May has come along with a new semester for both of us. I finished up doing pretty well in my classes last semester. Ally is very excited to be going back to school and finishing up her degree. She will finish up classes this December and then do her intership next spring. I am taking a full load and working as well just trying to chip away at school as well. I'm sure one day it will be done. Right?
We are both counting the days until our cruise on the 31st of this month. We can hardly wait just to be able to relax and not have to baby sit 1000 college students every night. Which by the way is going well. We got through the change in semesters which is usually the peak time for us.

Funny story about that actually...every semester because of move-ins and move-outs we change the parking permit that is required for the students, so those who lived hear during the school year need to get a new one during the summer. To avoid problems we put up signs, send out e-mails, and remind everyone that they need a new permit, but inevitably there are always a few choice individuals who ignore all of the reminders and still get booted. At 5:00 Wednesday morning we received a call from one of these choice individuals parents. Side note-The majority of the people living at Glenwood are students and most go to BYU. They take classes like O-Chem, Adv. Calculus, and other classes that common folk like you and I don't even understand the title of. Continuing-5:00 Wednesday morning Ally answers the phone and it is the mother of this resident who was booted and she is LIVID. She takes turns yelling at both Ally and I, all but insulting both of our mothers. After dealing with her Ally and I both laughed and joked about how it would have been if our parents called and yelled at anyone any time anything went wrong. We can hardly wait until this resident gets married and the mother calls the spouse in a yelling fit because he/she has left there underwear on the ground or is squeezing the tooth paste from the middle. Moral of the story, Thanks parents for letting me grow up and although sometimes it may have been rough to watch I think it has made me a better person.

I hope you took "Mom's" email address and told her you will make sure she is on "the list" next time so she will know that we made EVERY ATTEMPT POSSIBLE to notify peeps of this change. I love that too, while I do not get the 5:00 AM call, I have been on both ends of that one. Take Care, do NOT bring back and mutation of the swine flu from the cruise and enjoy :)
