Fun week!

It's been a good week, though busy of course. On Monday, my FHE group went bowling at the Wilk (and I just realized that I should have taken my camera to that!). On Tuesday, I took my American Heritage midterm #2, which was tough but went pretty well. On Wednesday, Amelia and I awkwardly went to the Cannon center at 7 for Zumba, in sweatpants and t-shirts, only to find out that there was never any Zumba. :( Our awkward Wednesday continued with a fire in our building at 1 in the morning. We had been asleep, so we woke up to blaring alarms in the hallway and had to go outside in pajamas. I was totally disoriented, had my gross retainers in, and basically had a rat nest on my head. It was slightly embarrassing. Luckily, our building was fine and we got to go back in about 25 minutes later. Someone had been cooking in the basement and forgot about it, so there was a lot of smoke that set off the alarms.

On Thursday, I had my third Human Development test in the testing center. As I was walking back, I passed by my favorite basketball player, Eric Mika! It was a great way to start off my day. :) I also volunteered at Provo Peaks Elementary School again, and then in the afternoon, Amelia and I went to Joshua Bell's open rehearsal. If you don't know who he is (I didn't either), he is one of the best violinists in the world. Literally, I think he is the second best violinist in the world right now. It was incredible to listen to him play!

On Friday, after we ate dinner in the Cannon center and were walking back to Hinckley, I got a phone call from the guy I asked to the opera a few weeks ago, Taylor. He called to invite me to hike the Y the next morning with one of his friends and his date. Later that night, his friend's date canceled, so Amelia ended up going with the other guy (Kyme). We woke up at 6:15 because we were going to leave at 7, but the boys were late so we didn't leave until 7:30 ish. We did the whole hike while it was snowing. It was cold and my hair got completely soaked. I'm sure I did not look good, but it was way fun. After we got back, we had breakfast at the Cannon center and then watched The Croods in one of the library's media rooms. Then we ate lunch with them! So the date ended up being about 7 hours long. We didn't get a whole lot of homework done yesterday, but we had a great time and were happy to finally go on another date. :)

Here is Amelia, Taylor (my date) and I at the beginning of the hike:

And here's all four of us at the Y! We survived!

Here's a picture of the snowy mountain that I hiked yesterday.

 And this one just because it looks beautiful covered in snow!

Amelia and I also went to the men's basketball games on Friday and Saturday night, which were so fun! We won both of them and had a really enjoyable time, especially because we are 100% boy-crazy (and crazy in general) and the team happens to be very attractive. I didn't take any pictures at those since I have at every other game.

It's been a really great week! I only have 3 weeks of instruction left before finals, and I only have one more art class, since we take our final early, on December 6. The semester has been flying by! I'm really excited to go to West Virginia for Thanksgiving. :) I hope you all have a wonderful week!
