"You know this is why I don't read. There's just too many books. I don't know where to start and I wouldn't know where to stop."

Thoughts on Coming Back (and other things)

• Ridgecrest doesn't feel like home anymore either. I feel like I don't have a home. Maybe when I find a job, it will be better?
• Last week, there was a horse tied to the bike rack outside of the drug store.
  
• There are too many bugs here and they are far too big.
• Sometimes, having your mother and aunts on facebook is not much fun.
• B's gone. I don't have his box number, so I can't write to him yet. It's hard and weird and I keep forgetting and waiting for him to call. I'm not sure how I'm going to survive right now.
• I miss having friends around all the time.
• My friend Andrea's dad teaches the institute class (Mormon high school students attend seminary, college age and above attend institute if they want). Oh boy. He knows way too much about me. I'm used to having my teachers not know anything about me. He gave a five minute introduction including all sorts of facts I didn't know he knew.
