Well, I'm back at school again and I'm actually excited to be here. Don't get me wrong, I love being at home, but there's just something about having that freedom away from home that I love. Last year I messed up in one of my classes and I have to retake it because I didn't take it seriously. There's only one teacher of the class and every semester, half of the people fail that class and have to do a retake. Anyway, this year I decided that I'm going to get all A's in my classes, so get ready to read some good stories of nothing but A's!!!

The Grove Continued
I got a phone call today from The Grove and they informed me that our move-in date has been moved from August 15th to August 25th. I couldn't believe it! Everybody I know thats living therewas planning on moving-in the weekend of the 18th. Now they pushed it all back. Atleast they did do something good though. They offered either to put you in a hotel room till the move-in date or to give you a partial refund for the 10 days we can't live there. I'm not as excited about this place anymore, because it sounds like it won't even be finished by the time everyone gets there. UGH!

Back from Singapore
Dean and I are now back from Singapore!!! We are excited to be back, but we definitely miss everything about it already. It feels weird to be home now, because it feels like we should be eating chinese food for lunch and dinner and hanging out with Singaporeans, but we're not. It's crazy to think that we just got done living for eight weeks on the other side of the world. We calculated it up and realized that we have now lived 3 1/2 months in Singapore since our first trip. It's such a great experience to be on the other side of the world and see how they live. I wish I could combine both of my worlds...here and there.

The Grove
This year at school I will be living in a new apartment complex called "The Grove". I'm really excited about living there because it's brand new and really close to school. I'm living with a guy that lived in the same dorm as me last year and we're going potluck on the third person for our apartment. This apartment is supposed to have energy efficient appliances and will be fully furnished. The rent includes almost everything. The only way to go over on rent is if you go over your electricity allowance. I can't wait to move into this place!!!

Singapore News
Today Dean and I finished writing our letter asking for extra funds and coming up with our budget for the trip. We have been trying to figure out this part for a LONG time now. We are asking for $340 in hopes that that will be enough. Right now we have some funds from the Singapore church which covers our food and travel expenses. Also we have money from the missionary Shelly which will cover some of our other expenses such as youth outreach and various things like fixing up the bicycles and stuff. Hopefully we will get more than we are asking for and the elders will give us some extra money so that we won't run out. We are planning on giving the letter to one of the elders in the morning and hopefully they will read it very very soon to the congregation. We also took our photos for our visas today. Dean tried to call the Chinese Consulate and ask some questions about the visas, but we didn't get much help from the woman that answered the phone. I guess that's ok though since they are closed till monday anyway. So we still need our visas, our tickets, and some money, but those things seem to all be working themselves out.

More Fun in Singapore Part 2
Last night Dean and I talked to the missionary in Singapore through the program Skype for about 25 minutes. We had some laughs, but we also started to figure out our dates for departure and arrival. We figure we will probably leave sometime mid-May and return sometime in early July. That puts us in Shanghai/Singapore for about 6 to 7 weeks. That should be enough time for us to accomplish the things that need to be done there.

Wild Hogs
This is a VERY funny movie. If you have some time one weekend you should definitely go see this movie. I saw it three times within a week!!! The four guys in this movie are perfect together. It's about these four guys that go on a road trip on their motorcycles but run into a little bit of trouble when one of them blows up the Del Fuegos bar (a REAL biker gang). They then proceed to fight off the gang from the little town of Madrid and they become heros.
