Please Don't Run The Sink.

Maintenance has been the main story this week. Besides classes starting & going really well so far I have had some issues on my hands. Maintenance issues. I guess I can't even call it maintenance if it can't be fixed...so you can just hear me complain. ;)

1) If you're a plumber, please don't forget to tightly secure the water pipes. Apparently the only way to fix popping noises is to rip off the dry wall. Yippee. Thanks to lower floor living, I get to hear pops & thumps every time my lovely upstairs neighbors turn on the kitchen sink. Do you get used to something like that? crossing my fingers...because as of now, it's a great alarm clock.
2) When installing lighting fixtures, make sure the parts aren't only available on the east coast. 6 girls in one bathroom isn't the most awesome thing in the world. We fixed the short for now...resulting in having to do this:

I left hair on the tape for character :)

3) Don't tell the creepers, but there's no screens on our windows. as of now. Sleeping with the windows open is a new adventure.

HOWEVER
After fooling with the tv it is working!
My ward seems to be awesome again & same with FHE family.
Classes are busy, but my earliest class is 9:00 :)
The weather has been perfect the last couple of days & I had a sweet reunion with taco truck.

It's been a good week. Roommates seem a little weird...but drama free. So it should be an awesome semester. holla to that.

1) The popping noise becomes background chatter soon.
2) YOU WENT TO THE TACO TRUCK WITHOUT ME?!
