I can't believe i'm almost not a freshman anymore! WHAT!? I have a lot of mixed feelings on this subject.
Monday was the last day of all my Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes. They were pretty easy and relaxed and I was done before 11:30! One tradition we have is that at the end of your last class you all applaud your professors. I think its really cool because we know how much they do for us! It was a bit cold and rainy which meant that I got to go to class in the fog.. oh how i'm going to miss those!
Tuesday was the last day of the rest of my classes. I didn't even have one of them and we watched a movie and then I had a test in the last one. That night I had a work party! I am super grateful for everyone that I work with. They are hilarious and continuously make me smile! We played kickball up on the softball field and had tacos. Dan made the best shredded chicken I have ever had! I also won a Lizzie McGuire CD.. basically my childhood! After that Alex, Anna, Daphne, and I all went on a Walmart adventure. We were buying stuff for projects and presents. These adventures are another thing I will really miss!
Wednesday was the first reading day. Savannah and I woke up to go for a very pretty morning run. I came back and let Anna vent to me for a little bit and then at 12 I went to lunch. At 2 I went and helped Genny with her Athletic Training final and then I went and talked to John John for a bit. We have missionaries that are right on campus and they like to try and meet with every student. I hadn't met with them so at 3:30 I went and met with them. We talked about Christ coming and the foundation of our church. It was wonderful! I love the Elders! I had some dinner and then got ready for the YSA barn dance! There is this big park right by our school called the Glen Maury Park. It has this giant pavilion and the stake decorated it with hay bales and flowers and made it feel like a barn. They played music and we danced and JJ's Meat Shack catered, same with the Snow Cone shack! It was so much fun. We were talking about how we could look around and know everyone! We were one big giant happy family and the event was the essence of what SVU was. It was a sad moment realizing that this is probably the last time that this group of people will be together.
Thursday we woke up early and headed to the temple. In my car was Savannah, Anna, and Erika. That was probably the fastest I had ever gotten to the temple and that was even with a slight getting lost detour... We were there a bit early before they could get us in so we went to the visitors center. We talked with some sister missionaries and we watched the Because He Lives video again. It's soo good! We met some other people from our school then and did baptisms. I always love doing baptisms with people from school because it makes me realize the true blessing of the priesthood every time! We all decided to go to Cafe Rio and that was one of the craziest drives. I just don't like driving in DC. They have all these sneaky roads! We then had to back track to the Lambert house so I could return a suit case. The drive home was even crazier because we got stuck in a rain storm (like always!) and I couldn't even see the lines on the road. It was very stressful so I was glad I made it safe. I got back and started to study for my first final the next day.
It was so fun driving up and seeing all the flowers!!!!!!!
Friday I woke up to study Microeconomics. I studied for a while and then went to Lunch. I kept studying and took a packing break, but I was going crazy! At 3 I took it and it was bad.... I didn't know very much. I felt like there was a lot on there that we had never gone over. After the test I went into the dinning hall and talked to Laine and Nicole. I got a bowl of ice cream and that led to us three and Kailey sharing three bowls! Nicole and I then studied for our test that was on Saturday. We were there for a little while and then I ran and got something to eat for dinner and brought Nicole something back. Then our friends Ryan and Jared came up one right after the other and convinced us to go to the drive in movie theatre with a huge group that was. Basically half of SVU went! It was sooo much fun!!! They played the new Avengers and Cinderella. it was great! We sat on a tarp with blankets for Avengers and then it was cold so the people that rode in my car went into my car. We got back after 1 in the morning...
Saturday I went to breakfast and talked to John John, then Nicole and I met back in the library to study. We studied all that we could and then talked for twenty minutes before we took our final. We got the hardest essay question and we both felt like we probably got a B. After that Nicole and I went and talked while she packed and then I took Savannah and Alex to get lunch. We talked in my car for a while and then got some lunch. After that we got ready for the Adult Session of Stake Conference. It was really good. They talked about councils. It was really interesting.
Sunday was really nice and a little sad! We had Stake Conference and during the closing hymn I got really sad thinking about how that was my last sunday here for a while.. We headed to lunch and then we sat and talked outside for a little bit. I came up and studied for my Philosophy final with Elizabeth and Anna. I talked with my mom and Camille and then went and walked around. I ran into Katie and Crystal and then Savannah and Alex. We decided to make this giant game our of chalk for people when they left their finals. We then sat outside till dinner and then had a very entertaining dinner with Jared, Savannah, Anna, and Rebekah. Im just easy to tease.. ;) After dinner I came back and studied a bit more and then went to the CES broadcast. It was really good!! He talked all about recognizing that you have a stronger testimony than you realize. After that we went to the last hymns on a hill. It was kind of sad! After that a group of people sometimes get together and share their testimonies. We stayed for a bit and then I came back to take a shower and go over my notes a bit more.
All in all, finals have been really hard and I don't know how well i've done.. but socially it was a very fun week! Actually, the basically sums up the semester.
