Provo


This is my first Summer in Provo. I suppose it's technically still spring. But it's beautiful. The morning is a little bit chilly, and the days warm up and are sunny. Everyone at BYU studies out on the lawn. I've been going out with my Spanish group to study on the lawn to fulfill the requirement of 2 hours of speaking with each other each chapter. It's nice.

I also was looking at the mountains the other day, and realized how beautiful they were. Unfortunately, I was driving at the time, so I couldn't really get a good picture.

I sent my acceptance for the Fulbright yesterday, and flights need to be purchased by the 30th, so the whole Germany thing is becoming more concrete. I'm a little worried about housing. There's a free spot in an apartment through the city dormitory system that I really want to live in. The apartment has two rooms, so me and Jordan (the kid who also got the Fulbright) will be able to live there together. It is also subsidized by the government, so it will only run us about 200 euros/month, Which will leave plenty for traveling around. The apartment is also really close to the main Berlin S-bahn Ring, so it will be easy to go anywhere in the city. However, when I try to sign up for the housing, the people tell me that I can't register because I won't be living there until September, and the place is free right now. So they want to make sure nobody will move in sooner. They told me to try to register again in August. Which is one month before we will be living there... man this is is a little stressful.
