What a crazy week!!!
Monday, It was so cold! I was wearing four layers! My sweater, SVU sweatshirt, my grey coat, and my rain coat! I was very warm and happy! We had FHE where we played Ewa's family in heads up. My family dominated again and won. I then came back and FaceTimed Alley!
On Tuesday I again wore four layers. A sweater, cardigan, Greece sweatshirt, and my grey coat. I discovered that gloves are pretty much the greatest invention ever!
Wednesday started the string of my clumsiness. Tuesday night I was getting down to say my prayers when I hit my knee on my bed side table! I have the biggest bruise. Then I went to breakfast Wednesday morning and I ate a muffin. Well in choir I was having a mini coughing attack so I pulled up my scarf to help muffle the sound. Well then I breathed in and inhaled a piece of muffin! That made me laugh/cough and it was bad! Then I went to Institute where they had hot chocolate and apple cider mix. I burned my tongue. It was rough! I did pull out my christmas blanket with the cute penguins and snowmen! If only it had sheep on it.... :) (I did also layer again!)
Crunchy peanut butter and honey has become one of my favorite snacks!
Wednesday night I told Ewa that Sutton Foster was going to be performing in DC when I was going to be there for Thanksgiving. We freaked out and then impulse bought tickets! We can't stop mentioning it to each other! We are freaking out!!!
We then went down and watched our women's basketball team play! They did a great job.
My school also played BYU on Wednesday! They were playing it in the SAC on the blow up screen. They had oreos, popcorn, and milk and half the school was there! Every time our team scored we would scream! There was so much support and it was awesome and so much fun! We all knew we were going to lose because our team is a different division entirely, and they are all about my height whereas the BYU team were three of me! I think my favorite part was watching the team and knowing everyone on it! We all loved saying, "oh I have English with Preston!" "Joseph is the nicest kid ever!" "Look, there's Austin!" It's so great to go to a school where you know almost everyone!
Thursday was my most unproductive day. Ewa and I went to the Hills on Fire concert. It was a lot of fun! We love their music and have gone to almost every performance. They are the nicest guys and its super great. That ended at like 9:30 and I told Ewa I didn't want to go home. So we hopped in my car and drove around Buena Vista. We found ourselves on some scary street where I thought a vampire was going to attack me. (I think this came to mind because I am currently reading Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer for a class... Its weird). After I figured out a place to turn we decided to head to everyone's favorite place, Sheetz. It's a gas/convenient/restaurant thing. We ordered their famous frozen hot chocolate. IT WAS SOO GOOD! We were both hooked! We then drove back home but sat in the parking lot till 11:30ish. It was a much needed break, but didn't aid in the school department.
Friday we had a really good Forum by David Martino. He talked all about priorities and it was really great! At lunch they had these AMAZING chocolate cookies filled with coconut! And they were warm! They were to die for! Literally... I think I would die for them.
About 4:30 I was heading back up to the lofts. I decided to check on who ever was working the current shift at the dinning hall (because it wasn't dinner rush yet). It turned out to be my RA Merissa! So I walked in and ended up sitting by her the rest of the night! After her shift in there she had to work the game room. So we went to try and get the key for the game closet, and that was a whole experience! Then we hung out up there till about 9:30. Then walking back, this nice guy going the opposite direction of us, pulled over and asked if we wanted a ride to the lofts. It was awesome.
Ewa then came back to my room and we hung out for quite awhile!
On Saturday I went to work and then dinner. After dinner we all went to our Winter Formal. We didn't realize how "formal" it was. We were wearing dresses but definitely not as nice as everyone else! The best part was we had the VMI jazz band play live music! We felt like we were in a movie! Our favorite part was during the slow songs, Ewa, Lanie (Another amazing RA), and I would pretend we were secret agents, breaking up happy couples, or interpretive dancing. It was great.
It was a super fun week and surprisingly really fast! We are very very VERY excited for Thanksgiving this next week! I am excited to be with the Garfield's, but it is going to be weird not being with family! Hope everyone has an amazing week! (And stay off the streets because Will's driving!)
