3 down, 1 to go!


Almost done finals! And it's only the second day! Fortunately, I've been able to have a little fun mixed in with the hard work of studying (and by hard work...it REALLY is...I've been so exhausted!)

So Wednesday we celebrated Tiff's birthday, and make cookies and cake. :) We actually didn't eat the cake until last night...but here's what it looked like!

Pretty much...Tiff is amazing. We should make cakes for a living. Between the two of us, we could do anything!

So that was Wednesday. Thursday I studied all stinking day. For real. Geography, geology, and Doctrine and Covenants. I don't even think I did anything else that day, really. Friday was not too much more exciting. WAIT! There was some excitement for Thursday! Okay, so in my geology review, our TA told us about a house that had a boulder go through it, so James and Tim and I went to see it...Jon (the TA) had told us in class where it was, and even showed us on google earth ("stalker assist"). So I showed James and Tim how to get there, and it was awesome. The boulder was bouncing down the mountain, bounced in their backyard, through the back of the house, sailed through a wall in the house, and went through the floor to the garage, where it stopped at the front. Fortunately, no one lived there at the time, so it's just that much better. Pictures!

This is what you see when you drive up. It's all taped off and says "Police Line Do Not Cross"... so of course we crossed and went around to the back. But yeah, there's the boulder in the garage!



Here, you can kind of see the path through the house. See the wall that was taken out? And the huge hole in the floor. I wish I knew how fast that thing was moving, because it SAILED through the house!!



Here's where it bounced in the backyard. Yeah, there's a crater there!

Today has been pretty good. James and I went on a bus hunt/mission to get a suitcase. It was great. We got a suitcase, and we also got the bus we wanted in the end, riding it only a few blocks, just so that we could say we'd ridden it! Then, when we got home, there was a shopping cart still wedged in by the stairs of my complex. It was there last night, when James and Rachelle and I headed over to alex's (it was his bday, so Rachelle and I stole some of Tiff's cake to give him!). So this time, James un-wedged it, and brought it to my apartment, where we brought it inside. Rachelle was in the shower, so naturally, I shoved it into her room.

:) Then we had some fun with it before we pushed it outside again...now it's just hanging out by our door!




And now I'm going to get ready to go to Salt Lake. I'm going to have dinner with Emma! I haven't seen her in years! And I'm going to see Brian Moulton as well! Hooray! I gotta go. Oh, and I'm done three of my finals already, which is AWESOME. Means the only day I have to do something worthwhile in the next week and a half is TUESDAY, when I take my geology final! YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  1. Shopping carts and boulders, huh? That's interesting. You're such a rock hound!

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...
