Sweet Disposition

 Summer is definitely upon us in Rexburg, even though there have rainy days.

(I don't know why rain during the summer is still a weird thought for me?)

I leave for class about 30 minutes early so I can get to the building and cool off on the bench in the women's room before I go to class.

Our house is a freakin sauna all the time, and we're currently trying to figure out what to do about it.

I'm up to three cold showers a day now.

It's hard because it's actually a really fun time to be here, but we're too poor to do anything.

We'd like to go to the river and go exploring but don't have money for gas.

Instead, we sit around our house complaining about the heat and I'm sure we're not fun people to be around when we get like this.

I feel bad about it.

Yesterday we went to my friend's last softball game of the season. I met Rachel last year when we were both on the softball team (go Hawks!) and we were both in outfield. This girl can throw incredible distances, and she always helped me to improve and encouraged me when I was getting down about myself. She is so funny and I love being around her.
I got to the game a bit late, but the other team was up by 8-0.
The Hawks turned it around and it was the craziest game to watch. It lasted about 2.5 hours and the final score was 24-12. I mean, what?!?! Those poor girls must have been so exhausted, because they were putting in their best effort throughout the entire game. (Also, it was hot.)
It was so cool to be there. I recognized a few friends from my old team and I felt like I was apart of softball again. It was a nice feeling, but also a bittersweet one.

Maybe if I play my cards right, I can play in the fall.
