Finals Week

The penguin and socks were my Christmas present from Amber Brown.

        Sunday was like Chrismas three times; For sacrament meeting the choir and the whole ward got their chance to sing as a group. Thehen Chantel told me that she's getting a ride home with her parents in their big truck so I could send all my things home with her. (However, now that I'm home I realizeI left a lot of things undone...a cupboard of dishes unretrieved.) Then we had a Secret Santa amongst our apartment. I gave Ami a One Direction poster and a Mickey Mouse wind-up walkie-toy.

This is Stephan, me, and Chris.

       Chris, Stephan and I became friends one day after Book of Mormon class when we all stood looking out the glass doors and not wanting to go into the cold. We spent like 45 minutes just talking. We wanted one last Hurrah together before we all left; Stephan is leaving at the end of February to the Sophia, Bulgaria mission, Chris was going home for Christmas then coming back for the Winter semester, and I was going home and not returning until April for the Spring semester. We got together and went to Chris's place and made and ate lunch.

       That was a good week! I got my finals done and passed all my classes so I don't have to take them again! I was really worried about Math because I had a low D in that class but I used the grade evaluator calculator and found that I only needed a 20% on my final to get a D (which is a passing grade for foundation classes) in the class. I ended up getting a 68% on the test and a high D in the class! I'm happy. And best of all, I'm home! and get to sleep in and be lazy and catch up on things like blogging, Journal writing, and reading books! That's the kind of life I like. :)

There were a lot of acts that I couldn't get a good picture of. There was one where Tyrel, the executive secretary, pretended to be a dummy and made wise-cracks about the ward. Like the best couple (Or the couple with the most PDAs [Public Display of Affection]) which he said was Pat and Charmaine (my roommate and FHE bro.) I sang I Dreamed a Dream from Les Mis and I could NOT breathe the whole time and I forgot some of the words. I don't think I did that well but everyone else said I did great. We got to eat pulled pork sandwiches and Ice cream sundaes. It was a good night!

Ginger Bread Houses!

Me, Daniel, Derrick, and Nicole. Derrick likes to Photo Bomb...

We built Gingerbread houses for our last FHE. Daniel, Nicole and I had the cutest house thus it won first prize! We went to Taco Bell afterward and gave them our Beautiful house. It looked very out-of-place in Taco Bell.

Jane Austen Yule Ball

This is my dress! What? You want to see more?

This is the back where it laced up. it took twenty minutes to get in AND out of that dress.

This is the front of the dress, bodice skirt and everything.

This is the bodice closer. It has a beautiful design with silver threads and jewels.

This is me posing in one of the moves in one of the dances.

This is Stephan and I. :)

I know this picture is blurry I just wanted you to see how some people dressed up.

This is essential the dance called Northanger Abbey (Click on this to see a video.)

And Jenny's Market. and Mr. Beveridge's Maggot. Those are the three dances we learned. Northanger Abbey was in four/four time so we could dance to any modern song in 4/4 time. So we did Northanger Abbey to Tonight, Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae. That was pretty cool. There were prizes for the 3 best costumed couples. They looked great. There was one guy dressed like a Mr. Wickham! He looked great! All in all, it was a very excellent night with Stephan and we had a lot of fun.

Not very exciting....

These are some random pictures I took in between exciting things....Yeah, these are not very exciting...

This looks likea contact case for 3 eyes.

But it's not. It's just one of the lids right nest to it!
