Isn't there something romantic about the apostle's love stories?

So guess what everyone?!?

I figured out how to sign in to my old email account. So now I officially have 2 email accounts with gmail. Go me.

I also found this other blog I started under a pseudonym last year, but I don't remember writing it.... it is thedailymishapsofvictoriahart.blogspot.com. I was just as confused as you undoubtedly are.

This week is the week of death. I had a paper due on monday that I TOTALLY overachieved on (my TA asked me "REALLY, Leah? A clear plastic cover?"), a statistics test yesterday, a spanish exam to work for the MTC today (passed with flying colors!) and an armenian exam of the same type on friday. Not to mention my final paper for remote sensing and my final project for GIS. Or that the ward mysteriously asked me if I would be willing to double up on callings next semster.

My hot roomate wants me to go play rockband with her.

SO off I go!!

Sunday funday

So today was stake conference. It was FOUR HOURS LONG at once. Because aparently no one in my stake will attend a saturday session. But it was great, I loved it. And this morning I set off the fire alarm... TWICE. I was pan searing steak and it set off the fire alarm, and later when I was blow drying my hair, the steam coming out of my luscious locks set it off again.

Yesterday I worked all day at the distribution center, and it was great. I love my job. But I had to get up at 5:45 to catch a 7:00 bus to get to orem. And THEN, on the way home, the bus didn't come. But luckily, my friend Nate was there to give me a ride home.

And then I went to bed at 10:00. Because I was tired. And that, my friends, is how you become a homebody.

Anybody want private tutoring in that? Because I'm an expert.

In other news, I got a 100% on my remote sensing midterm. And I have As in all of my classes. Political Geography is killing me - I have a test tomorrrow. NOT excited for that. Good thing the TA was super nice and helped me catch up on the days I missed due to swine flu.

The director of my major only comes in on thursdays, so I went in to say hello, and we ended up playing with those little plastic domes that you invert and then they pop up for like half an hour. I'm in the right major.

Swine flu... CONQUERED

SO! The swine flu is over. And I got 100% on my remote sensing test! I was totally thrilled. After a week of being out of school, that's nice to come back to. I think I might try to get a masters in remote sensing.... I find it really interesting.

Yesterday I had to do my once a month calling and plan the ward FHE, but my co chair told me not to worry about it. So I didn't. Next think i know, 10 minutes before the activity, I had to

1) set up all the tie dye
2) explain how to do it
3) do the spiritual thought
4) do it without him, because he was going to be late.

I guess none of that "not worrying about it" stuff! Good thing I served a mission. Otherwise I would have flipped out. But I just smiled and did it. And it turned out great. And one of my roomates was madder at him than I was. Good times.

Shout out to my amazing sister Debby, who never ceases to amaze or inspire me. Love ya!
