changes

so much has changed in the last three weeks...different rules, different people, different experiences, different technology. i bought a new ipod and i can watch movies on it! i've already uploaded all my music and some movies. i'm addicted. its hard to figure out how i lasted 18 months without such a thing.

i can hangout with boys (i've even been asked out!). tonight i went to lauren's fhe group, which meant playing Disney's Scene It which involved watching movie clips and boys my age. we rented a movie from redbox, which i've never used before. very exciting.

point is, 18 months changes a lot of things. my attitude and personality and the way i deal with people have changed, and i'm trying to take those changes and apply them to my changed situation. not easy. i know there have been a lot of people that have dealt with the same things, but i'm trying to figure out how *i* do it...how *i* am supposed to adjust to living in the world post-mission. it's kind of fun i guess--it means i have the whole world open to me.

if you have any helpful suggestions...let me know!
