I have 9 days left in Provo.

And I am a mess.

Mostly because I'm going to be homeless next week.

But it's ok. In four short weeks, I will be in the MTC! Hollah!

And now, a funny quote from an old Korea Daejeon mission blog:

"There's a "no-touchy" rule which means that you don't touch anyone of the opposite gender, even to shake hands. As a result of this we are frequently rather socially backward when we come home. It makes for very awkward dating."

Well, that's just great.

The Anti Austens

We are The Anti-Austens, a collective of feisty, young Latter-Day Saints endowed with old-fashioned sensibilities (acquired through our Mormon upbringing and extensive reading of Jane Austen novels) trudging our way through the modern dating scene. Our blog was first created in 2010 and based in the Latter-Day Saint epicenter of marriage: Brigham Young University. Since its creation, the blog has seen many writers come and go, but those of us who remain continue vigilant in our quest for a gentleman happily blessed with our ideal qualities. For a few of us, that quest has led us away from our original hunting ground (BYU) on to hopefully greener--and considerably less overwhelmed--pastures.

Really? Not even to shake hands? I shake hands with the male missionaries in my ward...maybe it's a Korean thing?

Yeah, it's an Asian thing I guess. But it should make for interesting stories when I get back!

Haha, this makes me laugh. Good luck! Why are you going to be homeless next week?

My contract is up at my apartment complex. Never fear though! I just need to stay in town for a wedding. I'll be floating around a few places in provo. It should all work out
