Hello Blog.
All my roommates moved out, and with them, moved the internet. It's been interesting trying to do an internship with no internet. I sincerely apologize to all of my family and friends that I've been bumming internet off of. I'd also like to take this moment to thank fast food restaurants, the U of L, and Starbucks for free wifi. Even though when I was sitting in the Starbs parking lot last night at 10:00 I was 76% sure I was going to get shanked.
So besides working on my internship and scrounging for internet, what have I been up to? Well, I moved out of the hobbit hole that was my bedroom and claimed the much bigger bedroom next to it! The walls are big and blank and I've been having fun planning on how to decorate the place. I'm also in the market for a nice cozy reading chair, so if you know of anyone looking to get rid of one, hook a sista up.
My kitchen window is full of seedlings for this year's garden and so far they're doing really well! I've got tomatoes, basil, zucchini, kale, spinach, and green beans started. The carrots and lettuce I'll just put straight in the ground once Alberta decides to accept the fact that it's May and give us some sunshine. Yesterday it snowed h-core and I seriously considered transferring schools to BYU Hawaii.
Another thing I've been doing fairly regularly is practicing my French. I use the Duolingo app on my phone, and work on a few sections while I'm waiting for water to boil or during down time in the early evening. I've always dreamed of being bilingual, which probably will never happen, but hey! I know how to order ice cream in French. That's all you really need, right?
My to-do list for this week also includes: laundry, making a meal plan and grocery list for the next two weeks, organizing my bedroom, cleaning, responding to letters, baking some pumpkin spice loaf and banana muffins to freeze, and mailing a present to Momma Froc for Mother's Day.
Inspiration for this week:

Au revoir mes amis!
(Until wifi and I are together once more.)
