Ice Skating, movies, and other fun stuff!

It's been a great week! It was my second week of classes, and they're going really well. I don't think they'll be overly stressful, which is nice. I also found that I really enjoy my Elementary Skills & Activities class! It is from 12:00-1:50 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and we spend those two hours playing elementary PE games and doing fitness stuff. It is a great workout, way fun, and we never get homework. I really enjoy it. This week we've done hula hooping, jump roping, and animal walks. My teacher always tells us to let out our inner child and not to be embarrassed!

On Friday, Amelia left for Colorado to go to her grandpa's funeral. I was worried that I would be lonely and super bored this weekend, but it has been so fun! On Friday night, I went to a Divine Comedy show at the Cannon with some friends (Divine Comedy is a funny group that does sketches, and the members of Studio C came from Divine Comedy). Afterwards, I put on pajamas and watched The Notebook in my room (because Laura was so nice to send me a package with that movie and chocolate!). While I was watching it, one of my friends (Meredith) knocked on my door and then somehow we ended up sitting in the hallway with several of our other friends (Hayley, Lauren, Camille, and Amber), talking for hours! At around midnight, we decided to finally go to bed, but I wanted to finish my movie so I stayed up until 2.

I slept in the next morning, worked on homework for most of the day, then went ice skating with my ward that evening!

After ice skating, Camille, Lauren, Meredith and I decided to go to the small Creamery by the Cannon center because they serve French toast and buttermilk syrup at 10 pm! It was delicious and only cost $2, which was a great deal. After that, we watched Monsters University together in Meredith's room.

Today, I conducted the music in sacrament meeting and ate lunch in the Cannon center with a group of girlfriends. It was really fun to talk and laugh with them! I just feel grateful that I've had so many great friends to hang out with this weekend even though Amelia is gone. It's been so fun and I love the friends I've made here! :)
