My life is a hurricane waiting to crash into land! Everything is swirling around and around causing destruction (my lack of sleep) in its wake!
On Monday I went to FHE. We played the game called Heads up, which is the best ever, against another family. We were down by 17 in the last round, but we came back to win it all! It was great!
On Tuesday, I started an internship! I don't know if everyone has heard about this, but one of my friends, Jason, was telling me that his wife works at a publishing company in town and I could probably do an internship. I went and talked to her and she got me the internship! So I have to go in every Tuesday morning to get my assignment for the week. Its the cutest building and i'm quite excited because they will let me try many different aspects dealing with editing, publishing, and marketing to see exactly what I would like to do for my job!
I also had been craving cake for days! And I finally got some! It was delicious, but I would love some cake from Grandma Lambert and Aunt Heather when I come home :)
Wednesday was the first of my three tests for the week. It was for English and I felt pretty good about it. I also went up to the practice room on the third floor of main hall and ran through audition songs for the musical. I was planning on auditioning, but I already have more then I can handle on my plate, and it would just add stress...even though I am dying to get on stage again! I don't like having this theater bug! It takes over! It was a beautiful view! And when we were practicing, the choir president for the big choir opened the door and asked if we wanted help! It was so nice! My school rocks!
Thursday I had my second test. It went well! I didn't understand my math assignment at all! What's weird is that all semester I have pretty much understood it all. Now we are doing probability, the easiest thing all semester, and I don't get it! It's strange. So I went in and she helped me do the whole assignment! This is yet another amazing thing about my school! My professors care, and I love it! After dinner we ran back home because it was freezing and we were being very dramatic up the stairs ;) I then went to work which was crazy! Because we are all losing it at school, work has become a stress relief with lots of unproductive shifts. But thats also due to the amazing amount of people who don't answer their home phones. Oh and at work I was calling someone names Julia. Well it turns out that was wrong... so I had a very embarrassing moment with Julio, a boy, not Julia!
Here is a picture someone at work drew. Sometimes we draw, or color to pass the time and this was left at the desk I was working at! It made me smile :)
Friday we had a forum where the President announced some changes that are going to happen starting now and in the near future for our University. People have been having problems with the dress code, which I think is stupid and don't get me started on that!, but it was mainly with the way it was enforced. So now the RA's are not "policing" people. We are getting a new dorm built by August which will be nice! We are now in connection with the people that do Khan Academy! (Hopefully this leads to a job for me on Khan Academy art. I spend hours watching their art history videos! Just Kidding :)) Also the SAC and arena will be opened till 2 in the morning. This is in hopes that people will stop hanging out in the Lofts till two in the morning.... but the Lofts has the TV so I don't think anything will change. There were a few more changes that will be coming too. I am so grateful for an amazing President and his wife who are still meeting with students, and trying everything they can to get us more funding and improving the over all University.
After forum and lunch (where they had homemade warm donuts! I died and went to heaven!) I had my astronomy test. I either dominated or failed... So we will see!
I came back from that test to finish the online portion of my English test. Because I had studied on Wednesday, I forgot most of the information which was not very convenient. I then drove people to Walmart where I also got my tires rotated and the pressure checked so i'm ready for Thanksgiving! When we got back we went straight to dinner and then squished 5 people in my car to go back home. Then went to Antigone, the play on campus. They did a version of the show where it is set in World War II in France. It was soo good! The characters were so strong and the lighting, set, and everything was beautiful! And so tragic! It was awesome! We then ran from that straight to the Fading Point concert. They are the A cappella band on campus. They are soo talented! I enjoyed their concert so much! It was so funny and great!
I then had every intention to go back to my room to go to bed.. (Okay watch Netflix) but I got talking to my friend in the hall. Then my RA's were dying of laughter and we proceeded to laugh for a long time! Apparently I was laughing really loud, but it was SOOO funny! The picture below gives a gist of what happened, but you just had to be there! I think I went to bed about 1am!
That wasn't the best plan because at 7am I was up and getting ready! At 8 I was down in the SAC setting up for our on campus open house. It was FREEZING! Thank goodness for my big nice coat and the gloves I bought! I directed traffic for half an hour and then got to talk to students. I wasn't in charge of a specific group I was a director. So I got to walk around and make sure everything was going well. At one point the students went to a 20 minute class, so all the student guides and directors got to hang out. So we played Heads Up again and it was hilarious! We then made this walkway for the students to make sure they got to the right place and we were crazy, im sure most of those students we scared off! I joined Ewa's group after a little while and we went and had lunch. It was packed! No SVU student had room to come in. It was crazy! I then headed to work for the craziest shift! Most of us had worked the open house, so we were exhausted! I kept inviting people to a firehouse instead of fireside. It was nuts!
I also got a fancy badge... but they took it back before I got a picture!
Saturday after work we had a hilarious and entertaining dinner (I think its because everyone was laughing at me because I was so out of it!). We then went to the Shenanigans show! They are our improve group on campus, and I don't think I have ever laughed that hard! My stomach hurt after the first "skit" was done! It was sooo great!
Sunday I woke up to finish homework and then went to church. We had a wonderful Sunday! Our bishop spoke about Enduring to the end (or finals!). It was so good!
It was a crazy week, and Im so happy its over! As of today (11/18) I only have 10 class days left of my first semester in college! What in the world! This is crazy!!!
