Being an English Major and Fireflies

So nothing huge lately. The biggest thing to talk about is New York. I've gotten used to the idea of being here. I like the area; it is beautiful. Right now things here are green, not yellow like in California; and not as hot, although it is more humid. Things for me have gotten into a routine. After waking up, I facebook and check my email (therefore that is the best time to inform me of things 48 hours in advance) and start "acting" like an English major, as Dr. Snyder of BYU's English department would say--basically meaning I read, write, and analyze, though I don't write analysis of what I read; I write novels (literally). Then it varies depending on the day.
So I have found some way to entertain me throughout the day. What I found really cool this week was on Monday night my parents led me and my siblings on a walk through a "forest" path near our house. It was dark, so we could only see dark shapes to tell where the trees were, but there were fireflies. It was fun to see. I have only seen fireflies when I was little and lived in Missouri, but even then, I don't remember them, my parents have only told me stories. But it got even cooler. For those of you who have seen the movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice you will have hear the song "Secrets" by OneRepublic during the scene with the plasma cage. As I walked back to the house, still along the path, the song came on my MP3 player, which was cool as the lightning bugs flickered across our path.
That's all that is new here. I do miss California--the people were wonderful and I miss the beach and the predictable weather. I also miss Utah--the people I met there were so much fun to be around and it was never boring; there was always an adventure waiting to happen. But Western New York is a good place to be too and I am glad that I could get an opportunity to see this coast of the country. Until next time.
