After 3 days of class, 3 readings, 2 math assignments, an FHE planned, a hall meeting, 3 large assignments due for one class all on the same day, and a paper written, it is finally my "weekend" and my list is significantly shorter than it was on Sunday night. I love checking things off my list and after next Monday, I will be one very relieved girl. It is still freezing outside, but it is sunny everyday.
Emily and I decided this morning that cell phones are very good at hiding in bed covers. I had seriously looked everywhere in my apartment for my phone. And I had just used it approximately 10 minutes before, but it was nowhere to be found. I tried texting it from my email and I heard it beep, but I was in the living room and the beeping came from my room, so at least that narrowed it down. I then saw that Emily was online, so I asked her to call it. But right after I said that, I found it in my bed. I had already looked there! Sneaky phone...
Tuesday was probably the greatest day ever! It actually started out kind of stressful, but as the day wore on, it just kept on getting better! I had stayed up late working on homework with Alli, I rolled out of bed and went to piano and got to sight read the whole lesson. Definitely one of my favorite things to do haha. Then I finished up some assignments and drew this wonderful picture of my interpretation of gender role, sexuality, and body image.
I went to class and then after RA class was done, I checked the mail.
Side note, don't ya just love surprises? I think when we don't have expectations for things, our lives can be lived more fully and we are more willing to accept things as they are because we didn't have this idea in our heads of how it was supposed to be, so there can't be any disappointment.
Anyways, haha I opened the mail box and sticking out on the corner of an envelope was the written Elder Bryan Robins. NO WAY!!!!! I grabbed the letter, ran out into the hallway and showed Emily and ripped it open as soon as I could. I just wanted to show everyone, I was so excited. I don't think it's even possible to describe the look of surprise and excitement on my face. I was almost crying haha! I think Em enjoyed my reaction while I read the whole 4 pages of wonderful goodness :)
Now you may be thinking, so what, she got a letter. But this was not just a letter. I had heard that this certain Elder was not going to be writing me anymore after he left the MTC. It was kind of disappointing, but I got over it. But three months later, a letter came! And it was so great to hear from him and see how he's doing and just get that confirmation that he's not just this person halfway across the world, but that he's real and alive and doing well! I was "flyin' high" as my mom said haha! And that is why we should never give up hope because you never know what the future holds and maybe there's part of the story that you just don't know yet. But faith, hope, and patience make the journey well worth it and give you perspective.
I made dinner with Kenz and Matt which was way good! I took a short, but much needed nap, and then went to staff meeting. We've been with the boys in our associate group the whole semester so far because they didn't have a hall adviser. But they finally got one, so this was our first staff meeting without them. We were kind of bummed about it, but on the positive side, there was definitely not as much chaos and unproductiveness going on. We had treats, painted nails, and discussed all the information we needed to, all in an hour. I guess that's the perks of being with a bunch of girls, we're good at multitasking haha!
The night ended with the ID fiasco, which you probably already read. What a day!
