Still Don't Know What To Say...

Once again, I don't know what to say, so I'm just going to say whatever I feel like it okay?! I had a good week this past one. Like I said, on Monday I was involved in the Spring Sing singing Zippidee-doo-dah...ya that's a funny story! Well I guess you could say that it was a lot bigger then I thought it would be. Let's put it this way, my whole stake came and filled up the whole De Jong Concert Hall. It was crazy! And my ward was a little unorganized and we didn't know what we were doing so we kind of just threw something together real fast. All these wards had these big skits planned but we didn't really know what we were doing. All is well though family and friends! It all turned out okay in the end. Disney Idol went great! I threw together a quick little costume in the bathroom (I found some eyeliner and penciled in some feckles and blacked my tooth out and put in some pig tails) and I got up on stage and did my thang. It was rather funny in the end. I won the contest too so I felt rather good about my performance, and I got a good report from the "Judge" which was sweet! Anyways, that was fun. Then I came home and we had a party for Suzanne, so it wasn't likely that I was going to even START on my 8 page paper that was due on Wednesday, so I started it on Tuesday...and spent 13 long hours on it straight! Good times, good times! That's the most exciting things that happened to me this week. This weekend I stayed home from St. George (all my roommates pranced off with some friends in the ward and went there) so I could write my talk. I still had fun without them don't worry. I did some dishes by myself, I danced around by myself, I cooked for myself, I laughed by myself...okay, it was no fun without them. I missed them a lot. It was good though because I had some quality time to spend alone with myself and write my talk, which by the way went really good! I learned a lot about the topic. I really want to learn more about it so I think I'm going to take a class here about the life of the Savior (maybe New Testiment you think?). I like church history and religious history stuff a lot! I think I'm going to go far with that kind of stuff. Like I love my LDS History class that I have here with Susan Black! She's amazing! I want to be just like her when I grow up. Except I think that would be impossible since I don't have a photo copy memory like she does. Geez, that woman remembers everything! Well anyways, that's my life story for this week. Hope you enjoyed it! And I'll talk about my life again next week! I've enclosed some pictures of our folk dance costumes. We are performing in a couple weeks. The dance that we are doing is Scottish (hence the Kilts). Puujee posted these pictures of me on facebook (she took them on Wednesday at our costume fitting session thing). They make us all look really busty and large boned...

What to Say???

I don't really have much to say here other then I felt like I should say something b/c I haven't posted for a while! I'll just give a little 4-1-1 of my life right now! I just got home from church like 30 minutes ago and just found out I'm giving a talk next week in church! On Easter SUNDAY! This is great, just great! I'm really excited to learn about my topic though which is The Last Week of Jesus Christ. I was lucky enough to get to choose my topic first b/c I was spoken to first. Niiiiiiice! I could have chosen the topic of the resurrection instead and I did at first but you all know how indecisive I am and I switched it. Good choice on my part because now I get to speak first. I chose the one I did because I didn't know as much about it and it seemed like I could learn a lot from it. Well anyways, that's next Sunday. Tomorrow I get to look forward to finishing an essay (Humanities essay...it's been very difficult to get myself to write this, but I've done a lot more then half now), celebrating Suzie's b-day (we're taking her out to breakfast at 12:00 AM and I'm making her a green jello thing in a few minutes for her cake b/c her b-day is on St. Patrick's Day), and singing in the stake Spring Sing (It's a Disney theme and it's kind of like American Idol but it's Disney Idol and I'm singing "Zip-pidie-Do-Dah!". Very cool!). I'm looking forward to another week of fun filled learning here at BYU, writing essays, reading books, extending my knowledge, you know. I just got a new job at Jamba Juice everyone!!! I'm raising money for China! Woo hoo! I get free smoothies every time I work. Speaking of China, I'm very excited to go still! We started our Chinese Cultural prep class that I have to take and it's getting me more and more pumped! Everyone!! We get to teach the Chinese students there how to tap!! Cool huh?!?! We are doing a dance exchange with the Chinese. We'll learn some Chinese dances and they'll learn American dances and I think me or someone else will teach them the Shim Sham which is like the Tap Dance National Anthem. I'm stoked b/c I love tap! It's probably my favorite kind of dance! Yes, it is awesome! Well anyways I'm going to go make the jello/cake thing for Suz. I don't really have any good pictures of me doing cool things these past week so I'll just take one right now and show you what I look like.






Don't I look great everyone!!!



Okay, fine everyone this is what I really look like right now...Me and Lanae's lint brush aren't we cute!


Oh, and I found these pictures too! These are me and my friend Puujee! She' from Mongolia, she's saweet, she's in my ward, and we are on the same folk dance team! She's very cool!
