Sunday was a really good day. Church was awesome! I love testimony meetings. I had a stake training for my calling and the stake president spoke for a little bit of time. It was really enlightening! My calling will be a bit crazy, but it will be really good. I went to Hymns on a Hill and then went to Cody and Reva's apartment. They were a small group of people in there and I just went and sat down. We watched Mulan, but then I had to leave to come up and visit a girl. It was a great day!
I love seeing all of us walk down the hill to church!
This is cake in a mug. It is the greatest thing ever!
Monday I woke up early to cover someones shift in the dinning hall. I then went with Genny and Anna to go walk in the Labor Day parade. The float turned out really well and it was perfect weather. After Lunch a big group of us went to a place called Cave Mountain Lake. Its part of a national forest so you pay to park, but they keep it up really nice and its gorgeous! The water felt AMAZING. Anna and Kaylee and I went to a store and Walmart then came back home. They shoot of fireworks from the park nearby but Anna and I ended up just watching them from our window.
Here were deer that greeted me in the morning!
Cave Mountain Lake!
Yes. That is me on the right... in the water!
Here was our hiking adventure.
Seconds before Catherine fell..
I love these people!
...And my school!
Tuesday was an interesting day. I was in such a bad mood... It turned out I wasn't the only one. Everyone was having a pretty off day. I am very thankful for nice people though. My friend Lainie went and bought Jared and I a whole bunch of candy. It was very nice! Later that night I went and hung out in Cody and Reva's apartment. After being mad all day, I had this moment where I realized that life is good. Its hard and bad days come, but life is good!
Wednesday my classes went well. I spent a lot of time in the dinning hall. Okay lets face it, when am I not in there! After my spanish class I worked on homework and hung out and then I went to my Literature and Film class. We watched The Birds. It was scary.... haha! I came back and one of my girls scared me and she just kept laughing. We had a little party in the hall. My girls and I just sat and had a lot of fun. I did get a call from one of my girls saying that there was a poisonous snake in the parking lot. I hung up the phone not really understanding what she told me, but then, through some other people, we figured it out. A guy hit it with a rock and then hid it somewhere. I hate snakes....
Thursday my art history class was really good! I was really tired, but it was good. After class I sat with some other RA's in the dinning hall for like an hour and a half. HAHA! I went to Spanish which I always dread going to, but don't mind once i'm there. After class I called Grandma D who will be here at my school in a week! I went to the dinning hall to talk to someone, and then stayed and worked my shift. I ran back up to my room to do room checks and went to dinner! After dinner I went to the library to get some homework done then went to the Spanish Tutor with Daphne. Then I went to Cody and Reva's apartment again and sat and did homework in there for about two hours. I actually got a lot done! I feel like I can think and take a little break in there room. I would have stayed longer but I got a text from a girl who was really sick and I ended up getting her a Priesthood blessing. I am so grateful for the men here at school that don't even stop for a second when I say that I need a blessing!
Sooo pretty!!!
Friday was a good day! I worked the dinning hall in the morning, went to my classes and went to forum. My bishop was the speaker and so of course it was really really good! After Spanish I just stayed down on campus. I bounced from a couple different places and ended up sitting on a bench outside Chandler Hall for two hours talking to different people about life. Dinner was good and then Catherine, Alex, Genny, Anna and Lainie and I went to the play. It was The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged. It was hilarious!!!! There are only three guys in the show and a lot of it is improvised. So good! After we came and talked in my room for a while and then had another hall party.
Saturday was one of the most relaxing days ever! I woke up and did laundry (which I love) went on a 2 mile run (well 1.5 and then walked the last .5) and then sat and watched Grey's Anatomy and took a nap! It was the BEST. After Lunch it was super nice outside so Alex and I went for a walk. Later that night we had a Lofts activity. Reva made a whole bunch of pizza dip and we watched The Lion King. I then helped clean Reva's apartment because her and Cody were and still are really sick. Which led to me not leaving their room till midnight... whoops! Then I cleared the lobby and sat and talked with my friend Daphne till 2am!
Sunday was crazy! I had a meeting at 10:30, Ward Council at 11, lunch, church at 1, a linger longer, and then the World Wide Devotional at 8. It was kind of crazy! I seriously love Sundays. It is the greatest to know that you have a day that is dedicated to the Lord and to spiritually uplifting yourself! Its a much needed day! Also one of the best parts of this Sunday was going outside and it was a little cold! It felt like fall, which was the most exciting thing ever! It did result in getting pretty cold while sitting in front of main hall for an hour after dinner... but it was so great!
