new roommate, embarrassing story and new email address

I am getting a new roommate!! Her name is Kalo. She's from LA, and she's twenty eight. Her family is from Tonga. She graduated from BYU-Hawaii. She is coming to Chico State to get her masters degree in social work. She seems really nice. She served a mission in the Dominican Republic. I feel like all these sentences are just short and choppy, sorry... Anyways, I am very excited. And I've almost got my room clean....

I had a wonderful time last weekend camping with some of the Ungers on the coast. We camped in the Redwoods. Went on a BEAUTIFUL hike. Played on the beach. Went to this really cool old cookhouse. Anyways, next time I see y'all, which will be in a few days, ask me about it and I'll tell you all about it. It was so fun!!!

So, I was at work last night/this morning. It was actually about 5 am. I had gone into one of the bathrooms to clean it, and then came out and the only thing I had left to do was take out the garbages and then I could go home. So I'm going around emptying them, at which point I got bored and felt like singing. Good idea, no? So I was just singing away at the top of my lungs the song Marie and I sang in sacrament meeting when we were like eleven and twelve. A nice little song about Jesus loving us. :) It was lovely, and I was really getting into it. When you're in a big building like that your voice kinda echoes off the walls, which makes you want to sing louder, obviously. So at this point I'm pretty much singing as loud as I feel like, about Jesus, and I stop for a second to remember the words to the next verse when I hear a computer mouse clicking in the next cubicle. You've got to be kidding me!!! Some guy had come in to work during the two minutes I was cleaning the stupid bathroom. Here I'd been serenading him with some primary-sounding song for like a good ten minutes!!! So I'm completely embarrassed, but still need to empty his garbage can so I had to go face him. On the bright side though, he said I sang very nice and it was a good way to wake up in the morning. It was a good start of the day. Good heavens.... Yep, that's my story for today.

I've also started to use my gmail email account. The address is martineau.christine@gmail.com.

Love you all and see you soon!!!!
