So this summer I'm doing an internship in the Dallas area this summer, so I had to (obviously) move here for a little bit. That's cool because most of my extended family is in the area and everything. The biggest question for the summer though was: where am I going to live? Just this past week I decided on a place and moved in yesterday! It's a house very close to my family (which was a HUGE plus)- but is also inhabited by a bunch of college guys. Now, the good thing is out of three of them only one will be around this summer, and that won't even really be until July! So I have this whole house to myself at the moment!
It's a pretty nice house but pretty obvious it's a guy house. There are posters for movies everywhere (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Reservoir Dogs, etc.) all over and multiple video game consoles by their big screen TV. There's only one thing I wish I had looked at before ultimately deciding and moving in... the bathroom. It's definitely not the cleanest. Now, I'm not saying I'm the cleanest person myself... but I've never allowed my bathroom get so bad that I have to walk over a hanging Daddy Longleg to get into the shower. This morning I went out and bought about $15 of cleaning supplies and I'm starting to get working on the bathroom/house. I have the sink done and presentable and the toilet much better. But, I kinda forgot to buy a bath mat and scrubbing sponge of some sort. I'm at the point where I NEED to take a shower. So I guess I'm just going to need to suck it up and take one for the team. Gonna go put those extra Old Navy flip-flops on and keep my eyes closed!
On a positive note- this place has both Tivo AND Showtime! And they have Seasons 3 & 4 of the Tudors recorded which they said they would keep for me to watch! So life has been pretty easy at the moment, just unpacking (which is mostly done) while catching up on Season 2. Guess who is not going to do a thing this entire weekend? That's right. This girl. But my internship doesn't start until Monday, so I can afford to!
Last night was a great night! Went with my grandma and primo to hear a lecture on the Spanish Monarchy, with a focus on their tapestry, at one of the museums in the area. Then stopped off for some good Southern deep-fried food and had a deep philosophical discussion on existentialism and whether it was better to live ignorant and blissful or depressed but wise. It was funny to sit back and just look at how much we've come since little kids running around with each other.
Other than the bathroom- life is going pretty good.
Oh- I also decided that one of the things on my bucket list is to read the whole 1,200 page book Les Miserables. Now to leave you with my favorite song from the musical. I've actually never seen it, but I do know some of the music, and from what I know this is my fave.

Gack! about the bathroom. Glad you got some cleaning stuff. Remember the old Girl Scout saying about leaving a place better than you found it. I think that applies here.
Glad to see you blogging about your life this summer. Keep it up.
