Tuesday.

Tanning.
Red spotted disease, which I still have. :/ Let's hope I wake up tomorrow.
Really great Institute class. I love that class. I love the Gospel.
Cadaver Lab. Today my Human Development class took a field trip to the Cadaver Lab on campus, and it was extremely cool. Walking in, there were about eight tables, right out of an episode of NCIS or CSI. There were obvious bodies under these large plastic coverings, and the room smelled like cleaner. I was surprisingly okay with the whole thing. There were large tuperware buckets with floating heads. Three to be exact. The Doctor there, showed us a brain. With attached eyeballs, and a spinal cord. I got to touch it. He then showed us a human head, that had been sliced right down the middle, with a Boy Scout saw. That was the coolest. It was gray, and dead looking. I touched the tongue. I saw the entire inner-workings of a human head, and it was fascinating. The fact that this head was once a person never really crossed my mind, and I was amazed at how well I did. I think, that as long as the body parts are living and bleeding, that I can handle it. I am considering donating my body to science. I want to help students learn. Just like those people. I appreciate them. Greatly.
I was in a weird mood today. Everything was funny. I put school on hold. We watched The Waitress, which I forgot is one of my very favorite movies. If you haven't seen it, see it. And give it a chance. It is beautiful.
Today, I didn't talk to Troy once.
We tried this.
And I plan on never doing this again.
Ohh Tuesday.

Mar 29 2010

The weekend. It was Troy's birthday, so I stayed home while my parents went to Vegas for Camilla and Trevor's baby blessing. It was really good, I think he had a pretty good birthday. Friday night we went to Red Robin with some of his roommates/friends and that was really good. They took forever to seat us, so we wandered around Provo Towne Center mall while we waited. It was a good time. After dinner we went back to the apartment and watched 50 First Dates with everyone. It was good. Logan came down from school as well, and it was great. He is so funny. We had a good time. Saturday I was supposed to go to the Temple with Parker, but I slept in on accident. So me and Troy just hung out for a while, watched Basketball and did a whole lot of nothing. Like always. But it was good. We watched Fantastic Mr. Fox, which was quite the dilemma, but it was well worth it. I gave him the CTR ring that caused much stress to me, finally. He liked it, and all was well. That was what I couldn't talk about, and it was very difficult because I was so stressed about the whole thing. But all went well, so that was great. No more stress. Sunday I went to church, and it was really good. It was Testimony meeting, so I bore mine. Becky also bore hers, which was really good. I was really happy she did, it was helpful. I did something good at Church too, I apologized to Katie. Dun Dun Dunnnn. I know, monumental. But it was good. Everything else went well, and then after Church I went to the Butterfield's for Sunday dinner, for Troy's Birthday. It was good!! His family are very great cooks, and it was fun to hang out. :] I helped (in very minimal amounts) with the Flan which is some Brazilian dessert thing. It was good. :] Kyle and Courtney came as well, and we just hung out. I love Sunday dinner. Next weekend is going to be crazy, with Easter and everything. But it will be good. I think we are doing Sunday dinner at my house, so we'll see. Trying to get through this week. I'm going to make it.

Well, if you're a Plasma Donation Center, I suggest not smelling like the one I visited today. It almost made me leave. The smell alone, and we hadn't even gotten to the needles and pricks yet. Also, I really hope I never have to get a Plasma transfusion (if those even exist) because, well, there are some ODD characters donating. Oh well I guess. I'm one of them now. :] Despite my first judgement of the center, it actually was a great processes. I was genuinely pleased with the Employees. They are definitely nothing like the Blood-Drive workers, who are cranky and quite rude. So that made it that much better. For those that don't know, when you donate Plasma, it's just like giving blood except they spin your blood really fast, separating the plasma and then put the plasma (which looks something like watered-down apple juice) in a jug, and then putting all the other blood components back in. You can't really feel anything, like there is no rushing sensation as everything is shoved back into your vein through the needle. It takes a lot longer than giving blood, but it really wasn't that bad. I rate the entire experience much higher than the past blood-drives I have taken part in, and definitely plan on doing it again. Monday I believe. :] I might as well be getting some sort of income, no matter how small, while I'm up here.

I didn't get quite as much done today as I would have liked, but that's okay, because it was my take-it-easy day. Tomorrow I go back to working hard, until I go home. It's Troy's Birthday! He is 22. That is so old. :] But that's all I'm going to say, because everyone knows how good I am at ruining things before they actually happen, especially in this blog. :/ My bad....
Oh yes, I'm sure that everyone would like to be informed that the screaming Bible man is back on Campus. I think his name is Eli, because he became great friends with Maddison when she was going to the Bible Study things. I think it's so funny. I actually enjoy the things he writes on the white board he carries around. Yesterday was a great little reminder, are you keeping the commandments, or just trying? I don't really know what he meant by that, since he wasn't screaming when I walked by. But I felt like it was a little reminder, to actually keep the commandments, not just try. Anyone can try. It's succeeding that is important.

Mar 24 2010

Today was filled with school stuff.

I did so much homework, it was great. I have been super busy lately, so it's making this week go by really fast. Which is really good. I'm giving Plasma tomorrow. :/ We'll see.
Freaky thing, I woke up this morning, and my door was open. It was scary. I knew that I shut it, I always shut it. So that is my mystery of the day.
Insanity. If you have seen these work-out commercials, it is nothing like that. It is so much worse. Haha oh my. It was seriously Insanity.
April's friend Holly is in the apartment right now, and she is telling the funniest stories. Oh my. It has taken away from the blog, so I'm ending now. :/

Mar 23 2010

Tuesdays.

I had a great lesson in Institute today. We discussed us. It was the Parable of the Talents, so it was all about us, and the things that we are capable of. It was really interesting. Brother Maughan shared a story from one of Sister Holland's talks, and it was really really good. I will share with you my favorite little hunk.

"When we frustrate God’s plan for us, we deprive this world and God’s kingdom of our unique contributions and a serious schism settles in our soul. God never gave us any task beyond our ability to accomplish it. We just have to be willing to do it our own way. We will always have enough resources for being who we are and what we can become.”

I just liked the way that she said this, and I thought it was very profound. It means a lot to me, the fact that he will never give us anything beyond our own ability to accomplish. Yes, we may not go about it quickly, or in the manner that we assumed, but we go about it all the same, and use the talents that Heavenly Father gave us. That is the entire purpose of them. I just thought it was a good insight. :] I got nothing done today really, I had a bad attitude towards school, which is never good. Wednesday is my day though. I'm determined to get a lot accomplished. Using my talents. :] Look at me, already applying Institute lessons into my life.
I'm struggling again being up here. I hate it. :/ I don't like it when I don't want to be here, and feel like I have no one. It's not really fun. At all. I think I will try to go to the Temple on Saturday with Parker. That sounds like a good plan. I realized over Spring Break I didn't get very much Spiritual time in, I was so busy with work and everything else, that I neglected it. Which is why I'm probably dragging now. So unfortunate. I'm tired, and don't really have anything else to say. It will be a better tomorrow.

Mar 22 2010

Nothing happened today. Really.

I drove back to Logan, missing a few classes.
Did homework, to make up for missing those classes.
Went to Wal-Mart so that I don't starve, and to ensure I can brush my teeth.
Caught up with the roommates.
Watched my team go home on the Amazing Race.
But, Monday is over. And that is all that truly matters about this post.
I'm braving the Plasma Donation Adventure this week, Tori wants to try it out. So we will see how that all goes. Hopefully, it doesn't kill me. That would be an unfortunate incident.
That reminds me (which is really horrible, but it did.) Ashley Arnold, my FHE mom who I love, her mother was in a car accident over Spring Break, and passed away. It's very sad. I saw Ashley earlier (it's her birthday, so they played games for FHE) and she seemed okay, and everyone says she seems okay, but no one really knows if she is just putting on a face. She is a really strong girl though, very kind, and very strong in the Church. I think she will be okay. :] Just remember her and her family.
I just realized that everyone missed the great news that occurred over Spring Break.
Me and Tori are going to begin a Wal-Mart blog. We love Wal-Mart so much, that we feel it is necessary to adventure to every one in Utah, and rate them on our scale. I'll let you know as this progresses.
I have a headache.
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately.
I think it's starting to hurt.

Mar 21 2010

Alright, so 11 days later.

My bad, I didn't even really try to write in this over Spring Break. I'm an awful blogger.
I'll give you the quick update.
I came home early, and Troy and I went to a Reception of one of his Mission friends. It was great. :] Haha. Early Saturday morning me and Tori packed up in my little car, and headed South to meet up with my family in St. George. Courtney had a softball tournament down there, and we tried to make in time to see some games, but due to weather, the rest of the tournament was cancelled so that was a bummer. It was good to spend a little bit of time with them though, and get to see them. My parents and sisters headed home on Sunday, but me and Tori stayed at the condo until Tuesday. That. Was. The. Greatest. Idea. We. Ever. Had. I have not really been able to do just absolutely nothing for quite some time, and oh I missed it. We walked around the outlet malls, and other random stores, played outside, attempted Tennis (which resulted in an eye and elbow injury for me, but nothing critical) and we went swimming and watched the WE (Womens Entertainment) channel as much as we wanted. It was really splendid. Leaving was extremely bittersweet, because I wanted to stay there forever in the beautiful weather, but I wanted to get home. Wednesday through Friday I baked in the mornings at the FU Smart Cookie. That was not what I expected. There was a malfunction in the frosting (never ever imagined that I would be dealing with that kind of dilemma in my lifetime P.S.) and so I was required to stay a LOT of extra hours with the boss-man to figure that out. Luckily Thursday we solved the problem, and all was well with the sugary substances. March Madness also began this fine week, and I completed a bracket with the Butterfield family. I have great faith (far too much) in Ohio St. and decided that they would win the whole thing. :] We'll see....right now I'm tied for second with two of Troy's brothers. Troy is last. :] Haha it's like the greatest thing ever. :] I never get to beat him at anything, so I'm enjoying this. I'm sorry. :] We attended another Reception on Friday, and this one was as equally entertaining. I believe there was close to 5 people who thought we were married. Awesome. But it was good. :] We met up with Parker and Andy after, and talked and ate Red Mango. (Andy = Parker's mom's supervisor at Target, age 24, they got set-up by Rikki.) That day as a whole was really fun. We watched Utah State lose, and that was heartbreaking, but it was good. Saturday I had to work most of the day, but it actually wasn't that bad. I was scheduled with Kenzie (who I now like) and Christian was there most of the time, so we mostly just goofed off. I got an hour off to go see Caitlyn off to Prom however. She looked beautiful. :] Carol and Courtney went with her to pick out her dress, and it was a very pretty coral (for those boys that don't know, coral is kind of an orange-pink color) long, dress. It wasn't extreme, no poof like mine all had, but it was very elegant, and very Caitlyn. Her date, Cyler, looked smashing as well, and they had a good time. :] Their Prom was at the La Caille restaurant, and Caitlyn said it was very pretty. I'm glad for that.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my Spring Break. I had a lot of fun with everyone, and even though I felt like I never had enough time (which isn't new) I enjoyed it. I really like having a lot more time, because I get to have more relaxed, and fun time with Troy. It's been really great.
Tomorrow I hit the books again, and have got some serious buckling down to do. I need to get this semester out of the way, and do it with good grades. I can do this.
Totally can do this.

Mar 10 2010

I don't really feel like posting.

So, here is a list-form of a day.
A) Sierra confessed her undying love for my boyfriend.
B) I haven't been able to talk in correct English at all.
C) I went to that performance, Diavolo, and it was something to the extent of the love child of Fantasia and Cirque du Soleil.
D) Sierra forced me to watch Snow White, which I hate.
E) April went to work and left us alone. For a long time.
F) I thought I was going to kill Sierra.
G) Me and Tori had a great awkward moment in the Hub, where a random kid decided to join us, and our conversation about breastfeeding. No big deal. Everyday occurrence.
H) I got a BILLION things done, and am now fully prepared for Spring Break.
I) Two of my classes on Friday were impromptu-ly cancelled. (Refer to item B for the origin of that word)
J) April.
K) April made us laugh really hard today at the Marketplace, like always. But today was especially grand on the scale.
L) I wore my great sweater this day.
M) I get to go home tomorrow, and that is really grand.

Mar 9 2010

(I forgot to inform you, I got a letter from Cam yesterday. He is alive and well in Peru. Sorry, I meant to, but I must have been distracted by Tesha.) Anyway, Tuesdays are great days. Actually, they are in fact my busiest of all the days of the week. However, nothing really blog-worthy ever happens. Because I am far too busy with school work. I had a test today, which went very well. And then a performance in my ASL lab class. We did great. I would make a fabulous Deaf Cinderella who was forced to over-use idioms in her every day language P.S. Institute was also very great. We discussed a marriage parable (I feel like everything I have been learning in Church-related meetings has been about marriage lately. It must be the warm weather.) The worst thing that happened to me today was that I walked all the way to my ELED class (remember the one trek that has a rest-stop because it's so FAR away.) And discovered a lovely note on the door informing me that the class was indeed cancelled. Lame. But I got over the frustration (kinda) and went home and got some things done. And oh the many things I got done today! I did ALL my Laundry (sheets, blankets, and towels included), finished writing Cam and Jake, did half of all my Portfolio observations, read for Bio, and did my ELED homework on the computer. It was a great day. I also managed to go tanning, work out, and go to dinner with the roommates. It was a fabulous evening. Me and April spent some quality time on the couch, and we were laughing so hard. I love her. She is so hilarious. I think I'm going to start secretly recording her, send her tapes to some Comedy show somewhere, and make her millions. :] I will of course only ask for a small cut.

Tomorrow is Wednesday (technically, it already is. But that is just because I'm off to bed late...) and I'm not looking forward to it. But hopefully, it will go as Monday and Tuesday did, which was surprisingly well.
Oh, bit of news. Jon (from DESA) informed me today that he would prefer I be president next year. So we'll see how everything goes, and how the Silent Weekend plays out. I don't know if I will have that much time to be president.....that is a big deal. Maybe they will let me teach a Lab class....That would be awesome!!!
I don't have time for insight tonight, I'm tired.

Mar 8 2010

I discovered something really great about the blog today. We have an extra special follower.

Tesha the fabulous. :] Don't worry, she is still a part of the roommate goings on. Just through this great little tidbit. So no worries, I will have to do a much better job keeping up with the happenings at E403.
Anyway, Mondays are not great, ever. But this one went particularly close to average, and I got a lot accomplished. I have a test tomorrow in Human Development and I have been studying for some time tonight. Me and Tori made it to the Fieldhouse, so that was great since we never really get there anymore. Also, clearly as noted above, we were visited by the great Tesha Balls tonight. They all went to Big-Mac Monday in honor, and that is great. I didn't go, because it was late and I was talking to Troy.
Focusing is becoming more and more difficult. I'm confident that it will only continue to get worse the closer we get to Thursday. We can make it.
I did something grand today however, I signed a contract on a house for next Fall! It's official, and I'm very excited. It sucks, because everything didn't work out with Parker. So that is a very dark cloud hanging over this, but I'm relieved that it's all over. It will be great. Hopefully....But that isn't really what I can focus on right now. I have to make it through to Thursday. :]
I'm excited to go to the next play "Diavolo" on Wednesday, it's a sport-dance group that should be great. They came to our class today, and they were fascinating. I wonder what their lives would be like. Always on the road, traveling to these bizarre cities, with people the only know through the company. How do you choose something like that, or does it in fact choose you? I wonder if I would be cut out for a life like that if the opportunity presented itself. That would mean I would have had to been a great dancer and put into high competition classes when I was younger, and since that did indeed not happen, I don't think I really have to worry about that.
I just decided as I'm watching Charmed with the girls I live with, that it is unfair to dress bridesmaids ugly.
I will do my best to not do this.
It's Tuesday. :]

Mar 7 2010

Don't you love Sundays. Especially when you really don't want to go to Church, and it turns out to be very great. Love that.

That is what happened to me yesterday. I really didn't feel like doing anything, but I got out of bed and dragged myself to Church with Sierra. Sacrament was Testimony meeting, and it was really good. Almost everyone was crying, and it was weird, we kind of bonded as a ward together. But it was good. :] I'm very glad I went for that.
Sunday School was also just as good. We were having a marriage lesson, which I usually try to avoid. However, this one was very good. It was very interesting, and I really enjoyed it. Which again, is weird because I try to avoid things like that. Life changes.
All in all, Church was just good. After me and Sierra hung out for a while. We went to the Junction, which has been re-vamped (it still isn't super great however) and then watched Billy Madison together. It was splendid. The Academy Awards were on as well, and we had a grand old time watching them, and evaluating all of the dresses we saw. That is definitely my favorite part.
Me and Troy talked forever too. Skype is this really great invention.

Mar 6 2010

My bad for not getting to the blog. But I have had quite the weekend. :] Okayy not really, but we can pretend. Friday was great. After going through the school thing, I came home and hung out with my roommate Sierra for a little while. It was great, and we were laughing so hard. My roommates are hilarious people folks. We took a little trip to the D.I to see what kinds of great things we could get for the Institute 90's dance later that night. Our FHE mom, Ashley joined us, and I'm confident she thought we were psycho. BUT we found some fabulous things. :] I got a lovely colored sweater, that I'm confident I will wear again, for no occasion. We bought a couple of hot neon jackets, and we were set. :] We looked dashing at the dance, and everyone thought so. We had a blast too, being our regular old selves. I danced a lovely interpretive number, and it captivated many. What can I say, I'm quite talented. HA. After dancing to our hearts' content, we traveled to McDonalds, and got our first SHAMROCK SHAKES of the season. Splendid. :]

Saturday was great too. Parker came up to visit for the day, and so we went to all the cool stores on Main street, like Books of Yesterday. It was great. :] She is my very best friend. We always have so much fun, and I love it. I can't wait for next semester! Speaking of that, drum role please, we found somewhere to live!! It's called Brentwood, building E (I am destined to live in "E" for the remainder of my life. I know it.) But it's very nice. There will be four girls living there, three of which will be me, Tori, and Parker. They are private rooms with private bathrooms, and fully furnished. I'm very excited. We are supposed to get everything finalized tomorrow, so I'm praying that it all works out!!

Mar 4 2010

"You do not knock on the door of a God who doesn't know you."


That phrase has been stuck with me all day long. Institute was really really good today. We learned a lot about the Celestial Kingdom, and Bro. Maughan took us into a parable that isn't taught very often, if at all. It was really neat, and I enjoyed it very much. We talked a little bit about our Heavenly Mother, and how amazingly modest she is. I think sometimes we forget about her, because she isn't talked about very much. I was really glad today though, because thinking about her brought some new insight into my life, and I think it's going to be okay. It was extremely cool, and really spiritual. I felt very close to her, and was very grateful for that. Because I know that when my mom struggles, I have her. It was neat.

Other than Institute, today was actually very well below average. I woke up late for my plan-the-entire-future meeting, then once I got there, I realized I forgot my necessary documents, so I had to trek all the way back across Campus, twice. I was not happy. Classes went slow and dull, and then we went tanning. I just love tanning.
We watched Survivor, and the final Burn Notice.
April and I decided that so many funny things happen in our day to day goings on, that we need to be followed by a camera crew so that everyone can enjoy them as well. Because, I never put them in here, because they happen so often I would be writing forever, and no one else really is around to see them. So, I'm going to look into that.
We're almost to the weekend, and that's like the halfway mark. I can't wait for Spring Break. Hopefully Courtney will get to play in the tournament, because then that would be really grand. I'm hoping I'll be around to get to watch her games, because that is important to me. We'll see. I think I can miss some school for that. Validation.
Two tests tomorrow, and then I'm done. I can do this.
Nineties dance should be great. We will brush up on episodes of Full House, Saved by the Bell, and Fresh Prince so we are sure to be properly attired. :]

Mar 3 2010

We'll just get this over with, quick and painless.

I am tired and not exactly in the greatest of moods tonight, so it will be fast.
My arms got to see the world today from outside of a jacket, because the weather in Logan was actually bearable. By bearable I mean it was like forty or so degrees. That's warm to us folks. But it was actually sunny as well, so I'm hopeful that this means Spring is coming, and going to stay. The large piles of snow on the ground just need to melt away. :]
Classes went well today, and I actually got a lot done on the educational front of my life. I'm getting slightly nervous about the classes, and the huge projects that I have coming up in a few of them. But I think it's going to be okay, and everything will go well. :] Let's just continue to hope....
I went to the Temple today. It was really nice, and I forgot how much I missed going, because we haven't been in a long time. We're going to try to go to Timpanogos over Spring Break, because we miss it there. The Logan one is lovely, it's just different.
Courtney made softball, and will be playing on the sophomore team, which is just great! I'm excited for her. Next weekend we're trekking down to St. George for a tournament, so that will be grand.
Also watched a small section of Chainsaw Massacre today. (It was on TV, so it was edited) and wow, that was scary. I had no idea my dear Matthew could be such a deranged psychopath. I guess people are meant to surprise you.
Had another lovely little conversation on Skype today, and it is weird. I can hear everything that goes on on the other side. And I feel like a total fool talking to my computer. It's a little bit harder because there are a lot more distractions. But Skype is still great.
I'm going to bed.

Mar 2 2010

I just got back from another one of those performances I had to pay a billion dollars for for my Creative Arts class. I never would have guessed that I would have been so fascinated by Irish Folk music. And that is not sarcastic. It was actually really cool. Being all inspired as I was by this new musical phenomenon, I want to share the thoughts I had while I was out on the town. I am fascinated by how captivating cities become once the sun goes to bed, and the sky is turned dark. Everything becomes much more magical. I parked my car in a much safer area of the parking lot tonight, and avoided any potentially threatening situations. I like walking down Main. Any Main really, not just Logan. I think the old buildings and falling apart signs are amazing. I can't wait for it to get warm, so that I can just walk up and down the city. :] I'm very much looking forward to that. That is the only reason why I would ever live near the beach. To visit the boardwalks. I love the idea of them. All of the different lights, and people. They are fascinating to me. I can't wait for summer. It cannot arrive fast enough. I want to go boating, and work, and be free. I'm so tired of having to write papers, take tests, and constantly miss being home.

But right now we're just focusing on 9 days. Because that is how long it is until Spring Break.
Today, I realized something. Me and April need to find a Flo poster for our apartment. Because we love Flo. (Flo is the woman in the progressive commercials in case you are unfortunate enough to not know.) I got distracted, and lost everything else I was going to say. Dang it.

Mar 1 2010

I love new month posts. It makes everything so much neater.

I told you I wouldn't get anything written this weekend. I'm sorry for that, but here is a quick update.
Friday was actually a pretty good day. I was in a really good mood, and all my classes went well. I got everything done, and packed up and headed home. Me and Troy were going to go to his brother's roommate's birthday party, but he got a headache so we just hung out at his house, which is always very nice. We didn't do very much, and I know everyone thinks we're so extremely boring, but really, when you only get to see each other on the weekends, doing nothing together is really all we want to do. It allows us to talk a lot, which is very grand. Friday was great. :]
Saturday. I spent the morning prom dress hunting with my two sisters. What an adventure. I guess I forgot just how exhausting it was, because wow. I was beat. I feel like we got a lot done, and she tried on a lot of different styles and colors. She just needs to pick one, and look at a couple of more places. It was weird shopping for her, because I feel like I just barely was doing that yesterday. It's crazy how fast time seems to be going lately. Courtney, being the gracious soul that she is, pointed out the fact that the next dress I'll be picking out, will be my wedding dress. Oh joy. Thanks for that. We will see. I may just end up the crazy cat lady. But even then, I think I will get myself a wedding dress, just for the soul reason of having one. :] My dad made us dinner that night, and went all out. (As I think about it now however, he didn't really cook anything. Other than the asparagus.) But it was still good. Random, we had chicken, asparagus, and he bought a shrimp cocktail. After eating with my family, I met up with Troy for a double date with one of his friends from SVU. We got to his friend's house, and Christian called me. He sounded panicked, and desperate in the text message before, so I answered. He needed me. Apparently the store was a madhouse all day, and they had run out of every sugar cookie and it was only seven o'clock. All of the bakers were out of town, minus Quinn who was on drugs from having her wisdom teeth pulled, so all he had was me. I hesitantly told Troy the dilemma, and we hurried to Smart Cookie. I felt so awful. We got to Hell and I started trying to get the sugars done as fast as I possibly could. They cooked for what seemed like ages, and when they were finally finished, we put them in the freezer to speed-cool so that I could frost like a crazy person. However, what happened? Oh yes, our freezer is a giant piece, and was busted. So it took them almost twenty minutes to cool down enough so that I could frost. I was shaking like crazy, and trying my hardest to hurry while Troy sat out in the front at the table. Every second I was there my guilt grew more and more. We were supposed to go to a foreign film at BYU that started at eight, and I didn't finish until like ten after. Luckily, Troy is great, and was really good about the whole thing, even though I felt like the worst date in the whole world, he just laughed. :] We made it to the movie only a half hour behind schedule (which really wasn't much, considering it was one of the longest movies I have ever seen.) But it was really good! It was definitely different. It was in French, with English subtitles. It was about this class, and this teacher. It was interesting, because there was no real plot. It was kind of a take-it-however-you-can-for-yourself movie. But I liked it. Foreign films are actually really cool. If you don't mind reading the whole thing.
Sunday I woke up and went to church with my dad and Courtney. My mom had been really sick all weekend, so I barely saw any of her, which is unfortunate. Hopefully she will start feeling better. Anyhow, so we went to church. It was pretty good. :] Troy slept in, again, and I know that is shocking but really, it happened. So he came late to our ward instead of going all the way back to Provo. Since my dad had to go to a Ward Conference, and his parents go to the other Sunday School class, the two of us were left in Gospel Doctrine alone. We sat next to each other, obviously, and well, you know that lovely little spotlight my Ward likes to shine down on me? It was definitely shining. Sam gets up before class starts, and is kind of talking to everyone, and just doing whatever. He then says "Now, there are some faces I don't think I know with us today." And looks right at me and Troy. Now, Sam knows who I am. His wife was in the YW with me, and he lives like four houses away. But he continues to have us introduce ourselves. I tell him who I am, and that I'm visiting from school, and Troy does the same. Of course Sam recognizes us, and then declares that he simply didn't recognize us together as a couple. If everyone in the class didn't already know, they do now. Apparently we were then talked about in every other meeting at church. We were quite the topic.
I finally made it to Sunday dinner at the Butterfield's this week too. It was really fun. :] It was just Troy and me, and his parents. We ate and then watched some T.V. and then we played Scrabble. :] It was so funny. Becky (Troy's mom) was making me laugh all night. She is great. :] I really enjoyed myself. I then went home, and slept. Yes, I didn't have to leave Sunday night. I decided to try the whole leaving Monday morning thing, so I arrived at school this morning. And I liked it a lot better. :] It was so much less stressful, and I got unpacked and everything really fast. It is a much better system than what I was doing before.
That was my weekend. Now, I'm just trying to survive until Spring Break.
I'm still breathing, so that's a good start.
