I finally did it!

I deactivated my facebook account! Sure, it's still there and all I have to do is log in to see it again, but I'm okay with that, because I don't plan to be done with it forever. I just need a break from it for now...for a few reasons. Mainly, I miss real life...I miss how people used to actually talk to each other, and not just post on each other's walls. I still have email, but I need a break from the whole facebook scene.

And today is Saint Patrick's Day! I was invited to go to a party tonight in honor of the day, which I'm wicked excited about, because this day is not celebrated enough out here- I guess there aren't enough Irish Catholics here, as opposed to Boston. It's hard to find anything Saint Patrick's Day-related in stores, too. Trust me, I looked. Oh, and I have another thing to add to my bucket list: be in Ireland on Saint Patrick's Day sometime.

We're working on the waltz in my dance class. It's pretty awesome...because I learned it in 180, and now I'm learning it again in 181, but this time it has a cowboy twist to it. Like, instead of adding a flourish with our hands out (as in 180), we put our hands on our hips or belt buckle during those moves. I love dancing, but I think I've found my favorite kind during this class, and...no surprise here, it's country dancing. I just wish I went dancing more often than I do...and that people at home knew how to do this stuff, so we could go dancing at home too. Maybe I should just go to Nashville again!

Alright gotta go be Irish.

Fortune Cookies can be profound..

So I was at work last night, at KBYU, and they fed us dinner. Sweet, free food! As a college kid with almost no money to my name, I'll gladly eat food that someone not only pays for, but pays me to eat! I've learned to like a lot of foods this way... I never used to enjoy Chinese food, but now I do. And last night, our food came from Panda Express. Seeing as I've never eaten authentic Chinese food from China, I don't know how "real" this food is, but it's pretty delicious. But that is not the point. The point is, half the fun of eating Chinese food is to read and laugh at the fortune inside the fortune cookie! Especially from Panda Express, where the fortunes are usually pretty lame, silly, or in fact MISfortunes! As I cracked my cookie open last night, my heart was pounding with anticipation... what would I get? Would it change my LIFE?!!? Okay, so I was just curious, and my heart wasn't pounding. :) I read the little slip of paper, and g...

Eu Amo Meloncia!

(NOTE:  Received on 3/30/2010) Hello family! Well, this week I did something different.  I kept a list in my agenda of things to write to y'all about, instead of just writing one on the bus on the way back from the Temple, and it is LONG!  But most of the things are just things to mention, not really to talk about.  So let me start with that! Choir last Tuesday was awesome...I played the piano of course, and the choir sang "Scripture Power".  Remember in primary when we would lift our scriptures up during the chorus?  Yeah, guess what 100 missionaries did during choir!  It was hilarious and so awesome.  We have so much fun here! Soccer here is intense.  Our teacher, Irmão Mendes, has the radio on his cell phone.  One day in class, he pulled it out, turned it on, and we listened for a few seconds to a soccer game.  Long enough to hear "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
