"I hope you all have had a good week because I surely have! On Monday for FHE we had a Thanksgiving feast. This meant that each apartment brought some sort of food and pretty much the whole ward got together to enjoy it. It wasn't like each dish could feed everyone, but out of all the options, everyone for sure had a good variety. I was dying because I considered it dinner and we didn't start until close to 8! But, it was totally worth the wait, plus I am even more excited to have Thanksgiving!:)
We also had cleaning checks this week and for sure those are ridiculous. We had a few things we needed to clean like a sticky spot on the counter and we needed to dust the vents in the bathroom with a q-tip. Don't worry I took one for the team and got that one done, so don't worry I still have a place to live.
Pretty much the rest of the week I got some good homework done, including writing my anthropology essay, which really draws a lot of brain power in writing. I secretly really enjoy working on it because it helps me to practice sounding really smart on paper.
Jessica and I made breakfast for dinner, it was fantastic. You all didn't know I could eat 2 french toast, 2.5 eggs, 2 blueberry muffins, 4 pieces of bacon, and a tall glass of Orange Julius, but now you do. Later that evening, my friend Brien came over to proofread my anthro. paper. He gave me some good tips and helped me know what I could change so I could more accurately follow the prompt. Also that night I went with Brien, Sarah, and Jessica to the music practice room. Jessica would play the piano, songs like, "The EFY Medley" and other church songs that we would all sing to. I would sing Soprano, Sarah would sing Alto, and Brien would sing Bass. I really love a lot of things about college, especially being able to change things about myself to be more about myself. Let me explain...In high school, none of my friends knew I could sing opera or that I had crazy voices, but here at college a lot of people know. Sometimes in high school, it's hard to change what people envision you as because they have known you forever, but here I can act like I am super confident in my singing abilities and no one would know the difference. I like being able to practice being who I want people to see me as instead of what they knew me as. I'm still the same person, but now I feel like the person I was around my family - crazy, funny, and quirky - is me a lot more of the time. Anyway, I'll get off my soap box now. I just am super excited to take choir next semester so I can become a better singer!"
Jessica and I
Jessica and I are like a married couple. You know how I mentioned we make dinner together? Well, that is a common occurrence. We also ask each other questions like, "What do you want for dinner?" "When will you be home?" "Who were you with?" "What were you doing?"
