hodgepodge

Picking up where I left off. Highlights.
4/8 Cheered on Natalie's sister and Mary Weidman in the BYU Idol finals. Neither won, but they were both good. It was definitely entertaining to see the variety the contestants brought to the stage.
4/10 Went to the Kevin Bacon Memorial Closing Ward Social at Payson High School (where Footloose was supposedly filmed), ate 40 pizzas, and socialized with Natalie. :)





And took pictures because I was obviously bored.








And flashbacked to Ms. Barnes' PE class at Parkway watching people play with the parachute.

















4/11 Listened to Bonnie D. Parkin and others speak at the BYU Easter Conference. It was really good, and Nat and I even got to meet her. Saw the always-chatty Sis. Welch there and caught up with her (my study abroad director).





Experienced Divine Comedy for the first time, on a double date. That's right, I actually went on a date. The show was ubermega funny. Depicted is the post-show ice cream-sculpting.




4/12 Found out our bishop is getting released. Had fun at a ward potluck and at the Erdmanns' Easter dinner. Natalie's and Stacy's babies sure are cute!
4/13 Worked. Had our last FHE. Aw. Our group this semester was a lot of fun.
4/14 Rocked a test, went to 4 or 5 hours of anatomy review and a saxophone quartet concert. Last day of class!
4/15 Worked. Almost slipped and died about 67 times on the snow/slush. Studied. Went on a blind/double date with a former MOA buddy and her brother. Bad movie. Good ice cream.
4/16 Nature was pretty but a little confused.



























Speaking of the Great White North, took a break from studying to watch Strange Brew with some ward friends.








And only drank one of the root beers.








4/17 Studied.
4/18 Got a 97% on my microbiology final. Studied more.
4/19 Woke up to remember that I'd heard this prank being pulled the night before while watching the History Channel (couldn't sleep). Didn't take a picture of the mound of wet paper behind the cardboard.








Was visit taught for the last time by my adorable VT, made this chocolate snack cake,







and Kristin made her Texas sheet cake, for our last ward dinner. Decided boys are immature.











4/20 Went to work. Studied.
4/21 Studied. Kristin and I got haircuts and mine is really (!) short.
4/22 Went to work. Took my last final. Nichelle left. Went to a fun party with some ward people. Pinata + air hockey table + mafia = a good time.
4/23 Said goodbye to MOA people who are graduating. Saw adorable little graduating families taking pictures. Sold back my books. That's a good feeling.
It's weird to have free time, and also weird that school is starting again on Tuesday. I can't wait to see everyone in June!
