This semester has flown by. It makes me sad.
Mainly because that means tests, finals, projects, presentations, etc.....
And because it means a lot of goodbyes.
Although this week was stressful, its been fun.
Monday was my adult day. I paid a housing deposit for summer and got a job. It was a scary moment. But I lived.
Monday for FHE we played a whole bunch of team games. We played reverse musical chairs, a blindfold challenge thing, and we had to see how many balloons we could squish in between two people. My team won.
This week I was trying to finish a ten page paper about Dante. It was the most stressful and hard essay I have ever had to write.
Tuesday we went to the Fading Point Concert. They did a really good job! It was a lot of fun.
Facebook had this thing going around that it would tell you "your" quote. Mine was "Spend your time with people who love you unconditionally, not with people who want you to fulfill all their conditions."
I like it!
Wednesday was crazy! It was the last day I could finish my paper so my stress level was high. I went to all my classes, than worked on the paper, went to the last home softball game, went back to the Library to work, ate food, worked the game room, than finally finished my paper! All I had to do was edit.
All day I had been craving chocolate cake. Kadee texted me after dinner sometime and told me she had cake for me. It was very nice!
I woke up early to finish my paper and print it off. I was so happy to have it done!!! I basically took the rest of the day off. I couldn't do any more homework after that!
Facebook reminded me that its been 6 years since Alley and I became friends! So crazy!
Friday was quite fun. The choir is performing in Roanoke next Sunday with the Roanoke symphony so the choir director there came and worked with us. He is hilarious and it was good to get some new energy in there.
I went to the orchestra concert which was lovely. They played a lot of fun songs this time around including Pink Panther, Prince of Egypt, and my favorite.. Disney!
After words John John and I got ice cream and walked around Washington and Lee Campus.
Saturday was another kind of lazy day. I went to lunch and cleaned my room. I then drove Kaylee and Heidi to work. Lexie, Kaylee and I all ate there and then Lexie and I headed back home. I went down to the dinning hall though and got an ice cream cone. It was absolutely beautiful outside so I just sat in front of main hall.
It was Stake Conference this week and we had a wonderful first session Saturday night. The member of the seventy that was there focused all on how the Lord's hand is in our life. I absolutely loved that reminder. He shared a lot of stories of simple miracles.
In Institute we did an in depth study on the first 24 verses of Ether 12. It was amazing. That whole chapter is on faith and hope but it also talks a lot about miracles and it reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from April 2015 conference by Bishop Gérald Caussé.
"To marvel at the wonders of the gospel is a sign of faith. It is to recognize the hand of the Lord in our lives and in everything around us."
Don't ever stop marveling at how amazing the gospel is or the miracles that are happening everyday.
I really love these crazy people of mine.
