Ok, well, I don't particularly feel like writing about uber-loads of paragraphs, so I'm going to enumerate a list instead:
- I finished Winter semester! After a very grueling four months, many books and papers, and a pretty chill/intense Finals Week, I've come through very relieved to be alive. I now have eight weeks of Spring term to look forward to. I'm taking 8 (technically 9) credits, which translates into three classes and working on a show. I'll be very busy as I try to still have fun in the sunshine. If I manage to survive this term and make it home on June 19th in one piece, it will be the greatest miracle since Moses parted the Red Sea.
- Grandma, Rock n' Chop, E-Slice, and Captain Choke-You-To-Death moved out :[ Fortunately, OP is hanging around for Spring/Summer, so I still have one of my best buddies to have springtime fun with. In exchange for our four beloved roomies, we gained a few neighbors--E-Slice (Elise), Little Chicken (Sarah), and Sister (Theresa). We're already really enjoying them living here, and they seem to like our sweet action apartment.
- After being released from my favorite calling to date (Gospel Doctrine Teaching), I thought I could coast through this term with something easier like being on the Friendship Council. As is to be expected when such things are hoped for, I was called to be the co-chair of the Gospel Teaching and Leadership Council. Now, instead of just being a Sunday School teacher, I'm over ALL the Sunday School teachers. While I'm nervous about co-directing the program, I'm excited for the opportunity to serve and help the members of the ward better learn the gospel.
- I got a new computer! My old computer final came up with a problem I couldn't solve with rebooting the system and getting a better antivirus. For some reason, the energy cord won't talk to the battery, so it will no longer charge. That being said, I love my new computer! It's one of the little Acer notebooks, which we affectionately named Little Red (which works with Grandma's Big Blue). It's so nice to have a personal computer so that I'm not dependent upon school computers for everything.
- This Saturday and Sunday, I went on a road trip to Idaho with my roommates OP and Rock n' Chop to go to a wedding reception and to meet up with Rock n' Chop's parents so she could go home. Plus, I didn't think OP driving home alone sounded very fun or safe, so I decided that I was up for some adventure. Saturday was way fun--loud fun music, hyperactive us, warm sunshine. What could be better, right? The wedding reception was for their friend from last year, who I didn't know, so it was fun for them to visit. Plus, there was BANGIN' food, so I definitely made good on this deal. After that, we met up with OP's friend to play Wallyball, which is what happens when Racquetball and Volleyball get together and have a baby. Then, it was time to bring Rock n' Chop to meet up with her family at the hotel. Fortunately, we got hang out for another half hour before a sad goodbye for the summer. We love that kid!
OP and I spent the night in her friend's apartment. Because we wanted to make it back in time for church, we left at about eight the next morning--after roughly five hours of sleep. It was a LONG drive, but we had fun all the same. We arrived safely back in Provo after driving for exactly four hours. It was straight money and an overall very successful trip.
