Friday, it was only me, Dani, Tess, and Mal in the apartment for the weekend! So we did a Denny's run. Down here in Ephraim, it is the thing to do to drive to Denny's in Salina at midnight. It was quite an adventure, but it was pouring rain so it was really intense. :)
I have now lived, on my own, in Ephraim for a month. The things I hate is that I am so far away from my family, I miss them like CRAZY! I get kind of bored in the small town, but now that we are making more friends, it will definitely get more exciting. :) I LOVE being on my own! I love my roommates, they are my best friends. I love only having to take care of myself and being selfish, it is the best thing ever! I love being in charge of my groceries and I am the only one that eats them. (mostly. ;) ) I LOVE the boys, they are so cute! Everyone is so friendly in small towns, not just Ephraim. There are dogs everywhere that I just love but they don't really love me. :( Here are the great beauties of Ephraim.
1-There are not any mosquitoes in Ephraim! You can be outside at all hours of the day or night and not get bitten at all-it is quite a wonderful thing! There are bees and flies, but they don't leave annoying, itchy spots so it's a great compromise.
2-Riding horses on Main Street and any other road is normal. You have to yield to them actually. They are around all of the time.
3-The streets and roads are completely EMPTY and deserted on any given Saturday or Sunday, unless there is a football game.
4-When you go to cross the street, the cars yield to you. Sometimes you get random honks, but they always stop, no matter where you are.
5-There is a distinct turkey poo/cow poo smell between the hours of 9 am-11 am and again from around 4:30 pm-7 or 8 pm. You get used to it really fast.
6-There are these great things called Piccadillies here in Ephraim. They are my favorite ever, but I've only ever had them twice. I don't have any pictures of those things, but I do have pictures of the rest. Here's the virtual tour!
