Seminary and Sweethearts

I basically suck at the 30 day challenge. I guess that's why they call it a challenge. Haha it just ended up being harder than I thought! So maybe from time to time I'll post about it and eventually finish the dang thing. :)

Anyway, today was my last day of 1st period Brother Johnson Seminary. It was a super quiet class but it was awesome at the same time. Since only like 5 of us ever shared things, I got to say what I was feeling a lot more than usual, which is nice. I like being able to give my insights on things... :) But it's also nice to have a lot of participation. Oh well, maybe it's just cause it's kind of early in the morning :P


At the beginning of the year I set a goal to write SOMETHING in my study journal every day. In the past I haven't been so good at writing things down that I'm learning and I tend to forget a lot of it. Basically the only thoughts I have from freshman/sophomore/junior year is the stuff I wrote in my actual scriptures... haha so this year I decided to be different. I would write down things I was being taught and try to learn something new every day. It was surprisingly easy to do! Every day I'd get to class and automatically just open up my journal and write the date. That way I would be sure to at least write down a scripture or two. :) Today I opened my journal to the last page and wrote about being thankful for this past semester and my class. I wrote down Brother Johnson's greatest advice and then I put it away. I can't believe that I filled an entire journal in just one semester! It's pretty crazy :) I plan to do it again next semester! I learned so much!



After that we had a party :) I brought cookies! (that my awesome mother saved my life by buying for me!) We also had donuts and sun chips. And water from the kitchen! :D

My healthy breakfast :)



This is what Brother Johnson says to us every day when we are leaving :) We totally guessed it without missing any letters!



After the party I went to concert band where I serve as Mr. Simpson's aide...so I'm blogging :) haha But before this I asked one of my friends to sweethearts! Now... I love school dances... but whoever invented the whole "bake a cake and write a note that says 'if the second inch of the cake has a grain of salt in it then my name starts with a vowel and after that you need to go to Wal-Mart and do this scavenger hunt that leads you right back to your house where I've put silly string and confetti all over your bedroom and stuffed chocolate candy in your socks and one of them may or may not have my name on it...but most likely not. THEN you must skydive off of your house and when you get that whole life flashing before your eyes sensation you'll know who is asking you!'" thing should die. Like really. So since I'm a "creative asking" hater I just wrote him a simple letter, put it in an envelope, and put the envelope in his locker. Simple. Lame, but simple. And yet still effective!

Anyway- I'm real nervous so let's hope he says yes! :)

Only 1 1/2 days left of this quarter. Crossing my fingers for a 4.0! I totally deserve it. I've been working my butt off. Who knew all these seemingly easy classes would be so much work!

Have a nice day :)

Also, Kristianna was at the Jazz game last night so Katie and I pep banded alone. We documented the moment. I like her :)
