This week was crazy. No sleep, interesting phone calls, boatloads of homework, and the best friends. The week began with an intense essay writing session that went until around 3 in the morning, followed by a stressful trip to school where the printer only printed out the first two pages of my 5 page paper. Thank you college. The next day brought began with an amazing Christmas devotional from my school then a trip to the Salt Lake Temple to do baptisms for the dead with Allen. AMAZING. Another crazy essay writing experience occurred that night, but this time, I was working to combine four 3-5 page essays into one big essay for a group project. The stress was so real. That was turned in all fine and dandy on Wednesday morning, then I went along my day, but didn't go to sleep until around 2:30 AM. My alarm went off on Thursday morning at 6:30 for my 7:40 class and I seriously could not even function. I fell back asleep, missed class, and woke up at 11:30. Since I still had two hours before my next class of the day, I decided to get up, get dressed, and go Christmas gift shopping. I ended up getting a couple of things then going to my Book of Mormon class. That day went on pretty normally, then I went to sleep late and woke up at 7:00 on Friday morning for my various study groups.
Study Group #1: Group Essay. BFF Marcus and I will be meeting at 8:30 at the school to work out some problems in the essay. We worked on that until around 10 when...
Study Group #2: Calculus. I worked with Joseph for a while, trying to figure out Area Between Curves, then he left at 11:00 for class and TJ showed up, so I continued to work on that with him. I went back to...
Study Group #1 to finish up some more stuff then I headed off to Calculus for an hour.
After Calculus, Allen drove me over to the house I'll be renting next semester to check it out, then we went back home because Nancy needed some help taking stuff out of her storage unit. I called my parents to tell them about the house and also to ask my Dad if I could go on a date with Allen. (*GASP*) He said no haha. So, I went to work that night, then woke up bright and early on Saturday for (guess what?) more study groups.
This wonderfulness began with an 8:30 session at the Business College, BUT WAIT: the college doesn't open until 10 on Saturdays. RELOCATE TO STARBUCKS. Get there and Michael is the only one who is there (online) to help with the paper. At 10, Joseph gets there to study for our Calculus test on Monday, then BFF Marcus gets there to help with the paper at around 11. ALLEN CALLS MY DAD AND MY DAD SAYS YES. I ended up leaving Starbucks at around 1:00 to go home, clean around Nancy's, and get ready for a date :)
Had an enjoyable night and I bought two new dresses for $20, then Sunday came before I knew it. Went to sacrament meeting with Kelli, then we went to temple square to take pictures in the snow. After that, we ended up getting in the standby line for the 2013 Christmas Devotional and WE GOT IN. Made a quick trip over to the conference center and it was amazing. We then went to Kelli;s to make brownies and watch The Polar Express, then I went home to do a business assignment then write out my blog. Overall, it has been a hectic week, but I have been fortunate enough to find the blessings that God has given me each and every day.
The things of this week that I am MOST happy about are:
*Going to the temple*
*Telling my dad about Allen*
*Finding a place to live next semester*
*Taking pictures in Temple Square*
*Getting to attend the Christmas Devotional with Kelli*
I hope your week is as hectic and wonderful as mine was!
Keep a Smile
