I have just four more days in California before I leave. I've been trying to wrap my head around the idea that I'm actually going to spend the summer in Utah. It's all very surreal. I've never even considered moving back even temporarily, before this. Now all the sudden I'm packed up, my things are stored in the garage, there's some other girl living in my house for the summer, and I'm ready to leave. How did this happen?!
I'm looking forward to moving, and dreading it all at the same time. I think it will be nice to be close to the family, and being back at BYU. However, I'm well aware of the fact that my age and marital status make me a walking freak show in Utah County, and that I have a total number of 0 friends living in the area. I'm also very concerned that maybe I'm not smart enough to get through round two at BYU. I have a really great life here, and I'm trading in a potentially fantastic summer for...I don't know yet, but I hope that it all turns out so well that I come back here in the fall and can say that in all honesty I'm really glad I spent this summer in Utah, and if I could do it all over again I wouldn't change my mind.

Ummm . . . zero friends? Are you sure?
You don't even live in the County. By area, I mean Provo/Orem. I have a few friends that live elsewhere in Utah.
Since when did you have to be smart to get through BYU?
You don't have to be all that smart to get through, but you have to be smart in order to do well.
I kind of know how you feel. At the end of this summer we will be moving to Iowa for law school. I should be excited because I'm going to an okay school but at the same time it is in the middle of nowhere Iowa. Most of my classmates will be single and probably drunk every weekend and at least three or four years younger than me.
