We Survived August! Aug 31- Sept 5

Monday= School. I am really enjoying all of my classes! I feel like I am really focused this semester, well more than last, and am loving the types of classes I am in this semester WAY more than last. Our ward didn't have an FHE because I had only gotten called the day before... so I decided it would be good to have a hall FHE. This way they are still getting in the habit of coming to FHE and it was a hall bonding activity. I focused on the topic of Service. So there were three activities. A service for the hall, a service for someone of their choice, and a service for themselves. It turned out really well! I love the cute girls that I am over! They are in my hall for a certain reason and its so much fun discovering that! I then had an RA meeting that went way late.. because we all love each other and none of us stop talking!
Here is half of my super cute hall!!!

Tuesday we had an adventure that involved Walmart and the storage unit. I filled my car to max capacity and we went to Walmart. All of us bought a lot of things so that filled up the car. Everything had to be out of the storage unit by September 1st but we discovered that one girl didn't get everything out. So we drove to the unit and picked up all the rest of her stuff. So we played some tetras and managed to have 5 people, all of our Walmart things, two fridges, a box, an organizer, and some boxes. It was pretty crazy! I also got to talk to Ryan on the phone before he left! He is crazy and will be a great missionary!
Yup! Thats my window :)
 This is Courtney! She is super cute!
 This was our tetras game!

Wednesday is my longest day class wise. I have Institute, Theatre, Choir, Spanish and then my Lit and Film class at 6:30-9:30. It was actually a really fun day, I was just pretty tired. At about 5pm we had a massive rainstorm!! It was crazy with super loud thunder! Half of the campus lost power and didn't get it back on till about 11:30pm. In my Lit and film class we watched and read "A River Runs Through It." The book and movie were both FANTASTIC! I really loved the symbolism and the writing. After I got back late and then I had to stay up till Midnight so I could kick all the boys out of the lobby. Oh the life of an RA.


Thursday was a really good day! Im not sure exactly why.. it just was! I had Art History and then had a two hour break till Spanish. During that time I helped print out some ballots for class elections and ate lunch. I then had to run up to the lofts to let two girls into their room because they locked themselves out and then run back down for class. Yes I know I have a car, but there is no where to park! After spanish I went back to the library to help print things again and then carry stuff to the Executive Council's office. I then had to work the dinning hall for an hour. After that I went back up to my room and then had to do room checks. I ate some dinner, went to the spanish tutor (thank you Jared!), and then sat and talked to Nicole outside for an hour till my RA meeting at 9! It was a crazy day! But I was just happy all day :)

Friday we had a wonderful Convocation to kick off school. The Concert Choral sang a song and I am actually quite sick... so I just mouthed the words. I had my first test of the year in Spanish. I feel like I did pretty well. There were a few I had no idea about. I actually went to the library but I kept having coughing attacks that echoed through the whole building so I left! The whole day the weather was right on the point of pouring rain. Nicole and I sat on a bench talking, waiting for it to rain.. but it never came! I went to dinner and then came and took medicine and took a nap! The school played the new Cinderella which I went to with all my friends. I love that movie!
I slept in Saturday to try and work off more of my sickness. I sounded a lot better and I could actually breath through my nose! I had a long to-do list which.... well.. didn't really get done. I went to lunch and then Genny and I went on a 1.5 mile walk through town. Then we ended up in Reva and Cody's room for like two hours! Then I someone got wrapped into going to Roanoke with someone else to pick up a trailer that was being used for our schools float in the Labor Day parade. So I then spent from 5:15 till 8:30 going to Roanoke. We did get Chick-fi-la though! Then we went to the women's soccer game. They played awesome!!! We won! After that I went and helped John John and Sam finish making some of the decorations going on the float. We worked till 12:15ish, but got almost everything done.




 This is one of the banners we worked on for the float. Our theme this year is "All In".
