its a beautiful day in the neighborhood....

Not!! holy man this has been one of the longest weeks of my life!! we officially have the worst neighbors in the world. They've turned me in for smoking, tell us to be quite all the time and most recently have called the cops on us for playing bongos and guitars on a friday night. I then had the privileage of listening to one of my room mates super conservatve mormon parents go off about how bad of an influence I am and how immature I am and how they are concerned about the kind of person she becoming living here with me. Being at this school has got to be one of the most challenging things I have ever done... but hopefully it'll be rewarding in the end. fingers crossed. I find it super interesting and somewhat depressing that humans have such an ability to take really great and good things and make them really not so great. Like being at this school and being with a bunch of people who you share similar beliefs with should be a very exciting and strenthening time... yet I find myself disliking mormons more and more everyday. And given I am severely stereotyping and generalizing an entire group but still. For claiming to be such a Christ like people they are sure judgmental and confusing. Christs gospel was simple, love God, love yourself and love others. Honestly thats all it was and yet people insist on making it much more complicated. And then they go on to judge others because that is much easier than just looking in a mirror. But though they preach over and over again that people should not judge they justify their judgments under the veil of "saving" people. ok im gonna get off my own soap box now and just try to forgive.....so hard!! anyways on the bright side my grades are good, one of our room mates moved out which has made tensions much less, im applying to be a roadie for invisible children and we have got some epic vacations planned for the next couple weekends. the one which i am most excited for is the festival of colors down in utah at this sweet indian temple!! anyways the pics are of our late night adventures in the apt. fun times.
