The air in Oklahoma really is a whole lot cleaner. Flying in to Salt Lake, it was startling to see how bad the smoke and smog was. Made me grateful for all of those Oklahoma windstorms.
With the new semester looming on the horizon, my roommates and I have been giving our apartment a thorough cleaning. While our apartment was fairly clean to begin with, there was still a whole lot of junk left over from previous tenants. Once (if) it’s completely clean, we’ll be able to a bit of interior decorating and make the place at least somewhat presentable.
My sister got back from an LDS Church mission to South Korea two weeks ago today – she’s doing a great job at adjusting to normal life. I went with her and her roommate to IKEA yesterday to purchase a few items they were missing for their apartment. I picked up a couple dozen glasses to reduce the frequency of dishwasher runs in my own apartment and a few other odd items like some rolls of shelf protector material and a thing to store/recycle plastic shopping bags.
My classes this semester look pretty intense, but it’s too early to say how bad (or good) they’ll really be. I purchased a laptop for my CS classes, so that should help me reduce the time I have to spend in the basement of the CS department. Which can only be a good thing.
Lastly, my dad let me borrow his road bike, so I have it out here in Provo now. It’s a classic Motobecane Grand Touring model, so it’s been interesting trying to retrofit accessories to fit the frame, but it should give me a chance to get some nice rides in before the winter sets in.
