8th week of school!

This week has flown by. I don't know why, but all of my classes seem really hectic right now and I don't have a lot of free time. When I do have free time, I love to practice the piano music from Pride & Prejudice. Despite the craziness, it has been a really good week. On Sunday night, Amelia and I talked to some nice boys at ward prayer for two hours! On Monday, our ward put on a talent show that was amazing.

On Friday, I went on a date! Amelia is in the philharmonic orchestra, which performed in the German opera Die Fledermaus on campus this week. Because she's in the orchestra, she gets two free tickets to one of the showings, and she offered them to me as long as I promised to ask a boy to go with me. So I asked one of the guys we had talked to on Sunday, and we had a great time! Afterwards, we went with one of his friends to get Italian sodas and play games.

On Saturday, Amelia and I went Halloween costume shopping at D.I., which was somewhat successful. I also did my visiting teaching (it's so weird to say that!) and then we went to see a Cougar basketball game at 7 pm with three other girls. We won the game by almost 40 points and it was way fun!

Camille, Amelia, me, and Hannah. Sadly, Lauren, the other girl who went with us, got cut out of the picture :(

After the game, we went to the Halloween dance at the Cannon center and had a blast! There were a lot of people there and the music was actually pretty good, so we enjoyed it.

Today, we went to church, had a hall meeting where we learned self-defense, and then Amelia and I made Halloween "gingerbread" (graham cracker) houses. Her mom sent her a care package with all of the supplies, since it is one of their family traditions.

Overall, it's been a great week! I love BYU, but I miss my wonderful family. I hope you're all doing wonderfully and know that I love you :)
