New Apartment

Britton and I have decided that we wanted a roommate to lower our rent.  After searching for a house or duplex for about three weeks, we gave up and decided to stay in the complex that we currently live in.  We have mostly moved into a 2 bedroom apartment with our friend Morgan, for the summer.  Come fall semester, Morgan will move out and Patrick will move it.  So far, I'm loving the new place.  I'm really looking forward to the weekend so I can work on putting things in places that make sense, rather than all over the dining room floor! I hope to get some pictures taken later.

May 2010

May is almost over and I've barely put anything on here.

My 21st birthday was rather uneventful.  Aside from the fact it snowed and I did have my first drink ever. 

Finals went well. I passed all of my classes with grades that I expected or better :D

My first summer session started Monday.  So far it isn't too bad, but I'm afraid for the future.

being too comfortable?

I think things might be getting to comfortable where things are at.  Britton and I fight/argue/disagree all the time.  We can't even get through a civil conversation anymore.  I don't think we should break up, but things definitely need to change.  I hate arguing with him all the time and I'm probably mostly to blame, but I don't think I should be the one to change.  The things that I want him to do, I've wanted him to do since the beginning, which I've adapted to somewhat, but when I ask for help to find something, all I want is a little help.
