The Can opener, Double helix, double handstand, and Superman moves! I did these moves with Doug at lifts practice! I'm trying to upload the other three videos- I don't know if I can.
This is Christmas Devotional on Megan's projector. Some girls we invited over to watch it with brought some amazing soup, ham, and muddybuddy. It was just awesome!
Okay so this
week has been kind of insane (the usual, haha)! Monday was nice and busy. It
was the last day of Outdoor activities so I went to the closing party.
Afterwards I had to serve ice cream as a caterer for the 200 guests for
President Clark’s FHE. That was nice because I liked the people that I worked
with! Tuesday was busy- I went to Marriage prep class and then walked in the
cold to the temple (I am going to miss having the temple so close and being
able to go every week!). Then I studied for a while in the library, President
Clark held the last and final devotional for the semester which I attended with
a friend. That night was really fun! I got a ton of homework done, then I went
to the last ‘Abs that Rock ‘class. I was kind of sad because this is that
instructor’s last semester and he is beast at teaching this class (almost
exactly like Tony Horton on P90X). After that class I joined Logan and his
roommates to go play volleyball in the hart. It ended up being so fun! We
played volleyball for several hours until they had to kick us out!
Wednesday was a
little crazy- I went to my first two classes, then studied for about 5 hours or
so, then went to my other three classes. It was my last day at Choir so I said
goodbye to some of the friends I made in there. That night was a ball! I went
with Ashley Benson to Country Dancing- SOOO FUN! I should have gotten pics! I
got thrown a couple times and really enjoyed dancing with certain guys who I
can trust will not drop me in doing lifts. Thursday was busy (surprise surprise,
huh), I went to my first class then performed a shift that I was terrified
about doing all week (mainly because I was doing it all by myself). I said a
few prayers and I can happily say that I survived! I got my party ready and perfect
as you can see by the two pics I took. Warren ended up folding the napkins
(Steve taught me on Monday because I didn’t know, but I didn’t have to anyway).
Simon (a fellow coworker) was doing a party next door and so we worked together
sometimes. The only mistake we made was forgetting to bring the plates and
plate covers upstairs so Warren got pretty mad about that. But I can honestly
say I am alive and okay. After that shift, I helped one of the other catering groups
make 600 sandwiches for the graduation ceremony.
I had a lot of fun doing that! I then went to
my last dance class where we hung out, had some snacks and danced a little. I
went home then and changed into a nice formal dress. Sarah, some friends and I
then went to “Best of Show”- SO good!!! It is basically one show of all of the
best performances from all of the semester performances like Got Talent, battle
of the bands, battle of the dance… I was blown away by some of the talent! I
was especially impressed by one performance where it was entirely Campari (entirely
dance lifts). I had to leave after 1.5 hours to go to the mandatory social
dance formal. I’ll be honest I thought it would be stupid because some of the
other ones were not that good- but No! It was awesome!!! I took a picture of
it! It was a full on dance formal with an equal number of girls and guys. There
was a live band of like 20 instrumentalists who were these old guys. There is
nothing like dancing to live music! (It reminded me of that scene in ‘The Other
Side of Heaven’ where the main guy is at that dance in the beginning at BYU).
Anyways- so I danced with some handsome guys, some of which were really good!
I met one guy
there who was just an awesome guy that I had met when I tried out for choir the
first day at BYUI. He reminded me a lot of a friend I had named Blake- he’s
Fall/Spring so I’ll see him Spring semester! I saw Darryl there (the guy in my
Family Rel class who was engaged and now isn’t). He was fun to dance with and I
am so glad because he is going to take me down to the Salt Lake airport next
week on his way down to visit his sister. That was a fun night! Friday I went
to my first two classes and then worked a shift with Simon and Taylor (two
catering guys). After that I studied for a while. Then I went to a pizza party
for the girls who kept their dorms really clean. Then I went to a relief
society party! That was fun because we played a game where we write down the
most fun part of this semester and the most embarrassing moment this semester.
I concluded that my best moment was my date with Cade that ended with playing
games for hours in the gardens. The most embarrassing moment was one time where
a guy attempted to flip me in country dancing and only got me halfway so I was
stuck there for several seconds awkwardly hanging upside down before he set me
on the floor. Yeeeah, we had some fun talking about it all. After that I went
home and got all pretty to go Ballroom and Latin dancing. That was alright- not
as awesome as the last two night dances, but I still made It fun! I then took a
nice midnight walk through the snowy gardens and talked with family on the
phone- a nice getaway.
Saturday was
way fun! I woke up at 8:30 and studied for three hours then went to Swing
dancing where they were doing all kinds of fun dances in preparation for the
lindy fest that night (a big swing performance that I couldn’t go to because I
had to work). After that several of us went to lift practice for 2.5 hours as
you can see the videos of some of the lifts we practiced. There were several
guys missing who are these buff guys but that was okay- it was still loads of
fun! Next I went home, got ready and went to work for 4 hours. It was actually
not that bad of a shift like I thought. I was scared it would last a while!
Heidi left halfway through it and so we were left to finish up everything (so
we got some of the leftover food, they’d have to throw it away anyways). We
left with just enough time for me to go home and get ready for a guy to take me
out on a date at 8:30. He took me out to Costa Vitas, a Mexican Grill, where we
met up with his brother and his brother’s pregnant wife (she’s so little and
cute). We all talked for a while- I was really impressed with the kindness of
the couple. They all just asked about me a lot and I tried to turn it back to
them sometimes. The food was good though and we drove to fat cats to bowl for a
few hours. I am not very good at bowling and it seems like a lot of my dates
are bowling dates! We all had fun talking and laughing while we tried to bowl
with mittens, our eyes closed, spinning… it was fun! Then we finished up and he
took me home. It was a really fun night, but I’m not interested in him like
that. So yeeeeah! That is my wonderfully crazy and insane week! One more week
of even more insanity and then I am home to recover!:)
