I woke up and Monday I was sick! Everyone here in BV has gotten sick.. and its homecoming week! The sickness was pretty bad monday, and continued on to Tuesday. My throat was super sore, and I had a headache. I went to work, and when I was calling people I sounded like a dying goose!
Wednesday was the weirdest day ever!!! First off, the sky was soo blue!! It was freezing Monday and Tuesday, then today it was soo hot, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky! Another good thing that happened was Alley sent me a package!! It was an old book that she got at her bookstore, and then a 12 page letter :) It was soo great!
It had just been a long day for everyone, and after dinner Ewa came back to my room and we were sitting and talking. We were discussing putting our trust in the Lord, and some other stuff like that. Then Anna comes in all shook up, and starts to talk about the thing Ewa and I were just discussing! We had a great discussion, then Ewa went back to work. Anna and I stayed and we were sharing and reading inspirational talks on lds.org. It was pretty great! Then we added Alley to the conversation via FaceTime. At about 10, Rebecca texts me and says she has to tell me something. So I go over to her room and she starts to talk about what we had all been talking about earlier!! It was crazy! Then one of her roommates comes in saying, "There are police everywhere! And on one of their radios it said, there coming to the Lofts." So we naturally assume a murderer is on the loose. We walk out into the hall and a police man is holding open the side door. Rebecca goes to find information and I go back in my room to update Alley and Anna. Anna then looks out the window and sees an ambulance coming up the hill. We go back to the hall and see them wheel in a stretcher and get in the elevator. I guess what happened, was a girl on the third floor was bit by a poisonous spider and couldn't breath. She was put on oxygen, her neck was swollen huge, and she was taken to the hospital. Well At this point it was 10:20ish. Ewa was going to be off work at 10:45, so I sent her a text telling her to come back to my room when she was done. Alley, Anna and I continued to talk then she came over. We all sat and laughed and joked till about 11:30 when Ewa said she had homework due at 11:50.... well what has she been doing! So we ended our call and I helped Sam with an essay she was writing and then got ready for bed. Sam starts to try and fix one of her iron on stencils that was falling of her shirt. At 12:25ish, we smelled something burning. The iron, we assumed, had just burned the iron on. Well at 12:29 Anna sends me a text saying that the light outside our window broke and was on fire! (Backstory- There is this annoying sidewalk light that flashes on and off all night. I have gotten use to it, but its pretty strange because the rest of them don't flash like that.) So what we thought was the iron was actually a real fire! How did we not hear the people saying that outside our window? I HEAR EVERYTHING! Our windows and walls are soo thin! I always hear people talking! It was crazy! I guess another RA broke the Fire extinguisher and put the fire out... man it was an eventful day at the Lofts.

On Thursday I had to drive Rebecca to an appointment in the afternoon. It was in a little place called Fisherville about 45 minutes away! It was so cute! Her appointment was like 5 minutes so after we decided to go explore. I just decided to drive around. I didn't know where in the world I was, but it was the cutest little town. We saw a Virginia souvenir shop and turned into that. It was soo cool! Then we left and saw an antique jewelry shop right next to it. We swung around and went inside. Then we just decided to go to Wendy's for dinner. The poor guy ringing us up was haven a hard time. He charged me for three fries.. Now I love fries, but not that much! Then these two old couples were after us a little bit. The wives left to go to the bathroom, while the husbands were left to remember what they wanted. They just sat there debating kind of loudly if one of the wives wanted sprite or not!!! It was hilarious! We came back to do some homework. My voice this day was gone. The sickness had basically just took my voice away. So I walked down to work and I said something to one of the team leaders. Before I even finished she said, "You're excused." So I wen't back up to my room for the rest of the night.
Friday was crazy! I woke up and my voice was even worse then before! I went to my first two classes then headed to forum. One of our past presidents came to speak for homecoming. He gave a great devotional all about embracing our school and making sure that you become a lifetime learner. It was awesome! We then headed to lunch and then back up to our rooms. I went to Astronomy and then had to help a friend with doing graphs in excel for a math project. I then went back up to the Lofts. I then got Ewa and we pilled our choir dresses into my car because we had our Homecoming concert. We got Anna and drove down to main hall. We went to the bookstore to hear our schools a cappella group perform for the launch of their second CD. They are awesome! After that we went to dinner. We hurried and ate and ran to the car. We grabbed our stuff and went to change. We met for warm ups in the ballroom and then took our seats in the "auditorium". They had us sit on the second row which was awesome! We were way close to the orchestra, then again anyone is close because the place is not that big. It was packed though, which was really fun! I was amazed at the talent here!!! It was such a fun exciting concert with the orchestra, band, flute choir, concert choir, and my choir. I of course mouthed most of the words because my voice was gone. It was weird not having any family there. I just appreciate all of you that have supported me in anything and everything! It was a super fun concert though!
After the concert, Ewa and I rushed to change because she had been invited to come and sing at the homecoming "bonfire". Which was moved inside because of the rain. Now there is a snow cone shack that is famous here. They close up for the winter and turn it into a donut shack (which is a million times better in my opinion!). Ewa wasn't on for a little while so I hopped inline for donuts and hot chocolate! They were freshly made apple cider donuts.. they were amazing! Of course they weren't ready right when everyone started to line up, so we waited in the cold for a very long time but it was worth it! We then rushed into hear Ewa sing and afterwords got another donut!
Saturday we woke up to rain. We got ready and then headed over to the fields for our school's first ever home football game! To get there we walked on the prettiest back pathway! It was soo cool. Now, lets just say... we aren't awful... but we are not the best :) I did absolutely love the people we ended up sitting by! They were hilarious. It was a few people we worked with, and some other people from around school. They were super funny. They had lots of people selling things. For lunch we went and go these pork barbecue fries, from the famous meat shack! It was pretty tasty. We then came back and when I should have been doing homework, I sat and watched TV.... (Spoliers: I regret that Sunday). We went to dinner and then got ready for the dance. I just decided to wear my graduation dress. It was very fun getting all dressed up. I think the best part was that at the dance they had mini cupcakes catered from this delicious place! And the theme was starry night, so there was the painting hanging up really big! It was very cool! We managed to hang out with the group from the football game, man it was awesome!
Here is a picture of some of the decorations from the dance as well.
