On Sunday, I went to church and it was exciting. I then came back and did homework for a while and just relaxed. Then Sadie invited me over to come and talk which somehow led to trying on dresses for an upcoming dance. Well while I was in there Ewa, Savannah, Genny and Alex all appeared outside the door. It turns out they had been knocking on my door for 20 minutes and when I didn't answer they were worried about me. They thought I had died. I didn't appreciate this because it makes it sound like I never leave my room!!Which is definitely not true!
On Monday, I had my classes and then we just chilled. We had FHE, where we did a giant scavenger hunt in the Church building. We had 24 pictures of things we had to find and take a picture of. Another ward was also doing a scavenger hunt so it was a little crazy! It was really fun!
On Tuesday, I had a work meeting and then worked the first shift. Nothing that exciting happened :/.
On Wednesday, I had lunch with the craziest bunch of people ever! We were really excited about these live web cams online that show penguins, sea otters, and jelly fish! Then we were telling crazy stories and I was laughing so hard! After lunch I ran into Nicole who also hadn't done the homework yet for our class on Thursday. We teamed up and sat on these benches inside the hallway between the ballroom and Chandler Hall. We completed that and then just sat and talked! I then worked double shift, and first shift was super super super long! Then the second shift I worked on the same team as Nicole and we kept each other sane.
On Thursday, after my classes I went to lunch and then was hanging out with Savannah, when my friend John-John came over and we sat and talked outside in the freezing rain! I think we were all too lazy to actual walk 5 steps into Jonzzeys. We then went to Main Hall because he had some things to get done (he's in charge of activities and stuff like that on campus), so we tagged a long. We made some joke about how the rain would turn to hail, and as Rebekah (who had just gotten out of class) and I were walking back up to the lofts, IT STARTED TO HAIL! I did not appreciate it. I did some homework, went to dinner, and then went to work. At work we are doing a "Super Bowl" competition. We have a football field table cloth set up and then two footballs. For every ding you get to move your teams football two spaces. When you get a ding you get a skittle, when you get a combo you get a chocolate football, and when your team gets a touchdown your whole team gets a chocolate football! Its the best. Chocolate makes work more enjoyable :)
If you look at the bottom of the picture you can maybe see the hail.
On Friday we had our Honor Forum. Some students, a counselor, and a teacher all spoke. It was soo good! I felt so proud and honored (hehe) to be a student at Southern Virginia University! I absolutely love it here! We ate a delicious lunch and then I ended up sitting and talking with my friend Lauren till almost dinner time! We went down to get a package and then sat in the dinning hall waiting for dinner. At dinner we realized that Lauren, me, and our friend Taylor (who is Anna's new roommate) were all wearing jean shirts from dark to light. It was cute! After dinner we all came back to my room to get ready for the Honor Ball. The VMI jazz band was playing again and they attempted to do dance cards... which didn't really work. But it was good, not the best dance we have had, but still good memories. After the dance we came back and changed and then ate food and watched my favorite movie, While You Were Sleeping.
Here is Genny, Alex, and I at forum.
The dark to light jean shirts! Lauren is on the left, Taylor on the right.
I did Genny's hair for the dance!
This was my hair after the dance so it is a little messed up.. but I thought it still looked cute.
My dress! Thanks Sadie!
I really don't like this picture... we look like midgets! But there we are.....
On Saturday we had an on campus open house. I was in charge of a group of students that I would direct around. Only one kid in my group showed up, but John John had to work a shift in the dinning hall swiping cards because he is an RA. So I took his group for him and went to lunch with them and gave them a tour. I realized that is sounds way more fun and exciting than it actually is. Its hard when I was trying to be all happy and funny and they didn't give me anything! John John said that he would call me to meet again with his group when he was done. Literally the second I said goodbye to them and I turned around, he called! Nice timing..... We ended up just talking and both procrastinating homework for a long time. I did finally come and get homework done with Elizabeth and then we went to dinner. I didn't realize how tired I was till that point. Open houses sure do drain you! I then called my family and we went to the Shenanigan show. That is the improv group on campus. They are so great! And I love being friends with so many people in it! After the show, Alex really needed to go and get some emergency stuff at Walmart so I drove her at like 10:30. It was fun to just sit and talk to her for like an hour!
Oh all the Shenanigans...
We bought some peanut M&M's because they are also my favorite!
