August 21

Saturdays are turning into study days. I spent the morning researching flights for our Thailand trip in November, and then doing quite a bit of studying to try to get on top of my 4 reports due in September. We ordered pizza and Lina and I took a break from studying to get some Baskin Robbins. FINALLY I got my milkshake (thickshake) that I've been craving so much!! It was worth it. Then we came back and Michael had brought over the coordinator in Cambodia that we will probably go volunteer with when we go over there. And Michael's dad and dad's wife came by and checked out our digs, so I was VERY relieved that we had cleaned yesterday! Phew.

I can't tell you how relieved I am that the three of us get along so well. I don't think we could've planned it any better if we had tried! We joked before we left that with our majors (Public Health, International Relations, and Event Management) that we had a healer, peace-maker, and planner. But as time goes on, it couldn't be more accurate. There are times when I feel like two of us get along better than others, but that two-some always seems to change. Sometimes Lina and I get a little too overbearing and boisterous for Jillian, sometimes Jillian and I are too picky and need help with fashion/hair/etc, sometimes Jillian and Lina discuss friends I don't know because they have a longer history together, sometimes Jillian and I discuss Philanthro, sometimes Lina and I go nuts and start rearranging the furniture! Somehow, it works out well. Lina is a Leo, I'm a Sagittarius, Jillian's a Scorpio. That means Lina and I are both fire signs and get along very well because we think alike and are assertive. Jillian keeps cool, stays back and let's us take over.  Today, I also looked up our Chinese horoscopes. Jillian and I are both pigs, Lina is a sheep; compatibly the best match for each other! Of course, we knew this already. Anyway, superstitions and horoscopes aside, we get along very well and haven't had many issues with each other. Sure there are minor annoyances here and there, but generally it is working out better than I could've hoped!
