Merry Christmas!
This semester has been full of fun, friends, ice cream, running, dates, roomie lunches, late night boy talk... oh and some studying... Library exploits begin with the best of intentions but usually turn into people watching or flirting. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried and with a bunch of crazy schedules, sometimes it’s difficult to find all six of us crazy girls. More often then not, locating our roommates turns into the Rexburg edition of “Where is Waldo.”
Where is Vanessa? Vanessa is the romantic of the bunch. With her love of disney, coupled with an adoration for Mr. Darcy, she can definitely be found figuring out her happily ever after as she reads Jane Austen classics or watches disney movies. She is currently working on getting into the nursing program so we find her studying and dutifully completing her schoolwork. If she isn’t in our apartment or at school, we need only venture out a few steps into the cold Rexburg wind to find her happily sitting and socializing with our next door neighbors. Though there are places Vanessa usually frequents, she has, on occasion, gone off grid (which freaked Hannah and Alina out one Friday morning when they discovered that she was nowhere to be found. Though it turned out she was simply taking a test at the testing center, Alina and Hannah endured a few hours of anticipation and uncertainty! Alls well that ends well! :) Vanessa adds excitement and fun to the apartment with her electric laugh and bright smile.
Where is Anise? Anise is the hippy. Follow the sound of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd straight to her authentic record player. If Anise could be anywhere, it would be the beach, but since Idaho is just a little bit landlocked, she has to settle for seashells and jars of sand to keep from missing the Cayman Islands and California too much. This semester we’ve grown accustomed to the excitement she brings to our apartment, for life with Anise just wouldn’t be complete without backflip competitions, late night guitar jam sessions, her hippy fashion sense, crazy dancing, and her blunt sense of humor. Anise is a biology major so you just might catch her studying in between her numerous social escapades.
Where is Kacee? Kacee is the spunky one. In between her time spent as a clinician aid at the student health center and studying to get into the nursing program, you might find Kacee firing nerf guns at unsuspecting roommates, dancing like crazy, chauffeuring her roommates to and fro (she’s the only one with a car, so she patiently puts up with the Walmart runs and Cocoa Bean ventures) or running laps at the I-center. This October, Kacee drove all us girls to Utah for General Conference and opened up her house to us for a weekend. Kacee has an infectious laugh, and can often be found cheering up her roommates with her jokes and adorable smile (And if you’ve checked the library, the student health center, the crossroads and still can’t locate her, you might try looking in Hannah and Alina’s room, for she can often be found sitting in Alina’s bed, pretending to be Hannah’s roommate :)
Where is Toni? Toni is the realist. Like Kacee she has joined the rest of the working world and spends many of her Saturdays working for Student Food Services at the Crossroads. Toni also has family nearby and so we are graced with frequent visits from her triplet brother Troy. To find Toni, follow the sound of music! Toni has the best dance moves of all her roomies, which basically means she can actually dance while the rest of us just... try... :) Toni also has the best hair, which is not only gorgeous, but doesn’t ever shed (which her roommates greatly appreciate) As an English major, Toni frequents the library often and has a habit of running into the most attractive boys, a talent that we like to call “black magic!” Toni is an avid movie watcher and graces us all with her knowledge and movie critique.
Where is Alina? Alina sometimes wonders how in the world she ended up with such amazing roommates at such an amazing school! To find Alina look in the Snow (that’s the music building! :) The majority of her time is spent practicing voice, singing opera, writing songs, playing guitar and listening to classical music for such is the life of a music major. Alina also can be found in the kitchen baking delectable concoctions, running laps in the I-center with Kacee (to work off those delectable concoctions), faithfully attending country swing dancing every Wednesday (still working off those delectable concoctions), taking naps in random places on campus to catch up on sleep, or socializing... when she probably should be studying. If none of those places work, you might try looking for face cards and skittles, for she recently discovered a love for skittles poker.
Where is Hannah? Hannah is the most mature of the group (though we must not confuse maturity with uptightness, for she also knows how to have a good time) To find Hannah, follow the dulcet tones of Frank Sinatra, and he will lead you straight to the kitchen to find Hannah in an apron playing the part of a perfect fifties house wife. Frank’s not the only man in her life though, for she also has a great love for Louis Armstrong and can pull off quite a convincing Louis impersonation. If Louis and Frank don’t lead you straight to her, you might try you luck looking for empty bottles of cheerwine, one of her favorite drinks. In between music and schoolwork Hannah can be found fulfilling her calling as relief society first counselor, giving date advice to her roommates, participating in Kacee’s nerf gun wars and joining the various random dance parties we roommates have. And now the real question: Where will Hannah end up, for she is putting in her papers and will soon be receiving her call to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If anything notable happens, we will keep you posted.
Thank you all so much for the positive influence you have been on our lives. We truly appreciate the love and kindness we have been shown during our first semester here at BYU-I
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Love,
Vannny, Anise, Kacee, Toni, Alina, and Hannah
