I had a great fast Sunday full of talking to family and hanging out.
One of my classes called Becoming a Leader Servant, requires that every Monday we get to read a conference talk for homework. It is the best! For this Monday I got to read the talk entitled "Come What May and Love it". Its one I have read a lot and I find new things in it every time! Its a really great talk. For FHE on Monday we had a fashion show. We split into groups of about 4-5 people and were given a theme. We then had 15 minutes to run home and dress a boy and girl model for the runway. My group was given the theme of country. So we sent our boy model to find things and we ran up to the lofts to dress Anna. It was really fun and some groups got really creative! Malia (who is the head of everything) pointed out that we all felt very comfortable. That made me happy!
On Tuesday I had my Review meeting and then a work meeting. But between those Ewa and I sat and talked to people from the Review staff for a while and then some people working the dinning hall. After the work meeting I worked the first shift and then came back to get some homework done.
On Wednesday, I worked double shift. The first shift was pretty slow but the second shift was super fun because it turned into call center choir! We have music playing in the background to keep us entertained and in between calls we all just started to sing! It was super funny. We are also allowed to be on the school website and our school has a blog called the Scoop. I took up reading that between calls and I have now read every post and the first one was in early 2011. I now don't know what to do to keep myself entertained!
Thursday was a pretty full day. I went to lunch and then had to go talk to the financial office, then I decided to go to the library to take my online test for microeconomics. I ended up spending a couple hours in there when Genny appeared! We sat and talked for about an hour and then headed to dinner. Genny left to go work the first shift and as Savannah, Anna, and I were about to head up to the Lofts, John John came and offered us a ride up which was super nice because it was very cold outside! We all sat and talked for a while and then I came in to finish some homework. I worked the last shift and then when Ewa and I got done we decided to go say hi to John John again, who told me he was working the game room shift. We said hi and hung out and then came back home.
Friday was a much needed day! We had an amazing Forum from a man who graduated here a few years back. He related different business tricks to SVU and how amazing our school is! I felt so happy and proud that I go here! My friend Lauren and I also noticed that we were totally inverse matching. It was so cute! And then we realized that so many of us were wearing stripes! After forum we had lunch and then we sat in the dinning hall talking to people for a while. Ewa and I then headed up here because we had a study group at 1:30. Then I had to go meet with a teacher at 2, and then I met Lauren who dragged me to this extra credit lecture where I may or may not have dozed off..... It was interesting though! We came back up here and Lauren and our friend Sam all sat and talked for a while. We then changed and headed down to dinner. After that we all hung out and then at 9 they were playing Big Hero 6 (which I still hadn't seen!). I headed down with Anna and we met Savannah as well. I loved the movie! I thought it was super great! The next day our school was holding an express EFY, so we stayed after and put up 500 chairs! I love how a lot of us stayed to help. It was great. We came back with full intention to probably go to sleep, but instead stayed up and talked and played bannanagrams!
This was us laughing at something and then Genny taking a candid shot! I love it!
Saturday I woke up and started my wash and reading something for my internship. (They are sending me drafts of books they are publishing this semester and I am proof reading them). At 11:30 we met in Anna's room to do a secret service project. All of us wrote happy compliments and statements on sticky notes. We then secretly hung them up on every single door for every single person in the lofts. I hope it spread a little cheer! We then headed down to lunch. Alex lost her choir folder so after we took a detour to Chandler hall to see if we could find it. We ran into this nice girl named Karla and John John who were both "counselors" for the EFY express starting in like 30 minutes. We talked to them for a minute and Alex went to look for her folder but then couldn't find it. We all came back to the lofts for a bit and then went back down for the mens basketball game. It was a little crazy because we were in the arena and right next to us were 500 EFY kids! It was nuts! Our campus doubled in size! It was a close game but we did win which was awesome! We went to dinner and then later that night we came to my room to watch one of my favorite movies, We Bought a Zoo.
Here is Ewa after dinner posing with all the EFY kids sitting eating dinner! We had never seen so many people ;)
Sunday was a crazy spiritual day! I woke up and got a text from the first counselor in the Bishopric. He said he wanted to meet with me. So I got ready, ate a quick lunch and then headed to the church. I am now a Gospel Doctrine teacher! I was a little shocked but I actually really wanted a teaching calling! Im super nervous but very excited! We had a great testimony meeting about missionary work, a great Gospel Doctrine class on apostles, and a wonderful Relief Society lesson on agency and the action of faith. I had a quick teacher training meeting after church, then got set apart, and then went to a choir practice for ward conference next week. It was almost 70 degrees which was a nice change from the freezing cold, so we slowly meandered back up here, dropped off our scriptures, and then headed to dinner. After dinner, Alex, Genny and I just sat on the stairs talking and enjoying the sun. I finished up some homework and then we went to Hymns on a Hill. This is something that goes on every Sunday but I haven't gone yet! We all just join outside main hall and sing hymns. It was awesome! Then we came back and watched 17 miracles while sipping apple cider out of Genny's tea set! It was a pretty great day!
