And you keep on going!

So it's been a couple weeks since I have posted. It feels likes it's been an eternity... Time passes by so slowly and yet passes by really fast. Sometimes you just can't make sense of it.

Friday night I watched Hugo, a movie about a child who's parents have died and lives all alone in a London train station. He takes care of the clocks and tries to fix up a machine that was his father's last project. It was an awesome movie and I would recommend it. Clean, funny and good stuff! There's not that much action but that's fine.

As well, this weekend we had the National Dancesport Competition and I entered in to do the Samba. I practiced really hard last week, working on foot work, arm positions, posture... basically everything! I was super excited and my partner was pretty awesome too! She helped me out so much! Anyways, we got to the competition at 7:30 Saturday morning all ready to go. We got pumped and went out and danced our hearts out in the 1st heat. I felt that we did pretty good and as I looked at the recall numbers, our number wasn't there! What the hey???????? Needless to say I was pretty perturbed about it. So instead of watching the rest of the dances, I left early to go to a review session for my humanities exam... (I think I would have rather stayed and watched the awesome dancers) and that went well and felt pretty good.

Then I came back, tried to organize a group to play ultimate... didn't work out. But I did find out there were a whole bunch of people playing at the field at the conference center, so I went to check it out and found some ward members playing volleyball... that was cool, but I was in the mood for ultimate so I joined a random group of people and threw the frisbee around for a bit and we played a laid back game. That was really fun! Then I went to shower and study again for my humanities class with a friend. After that was Stake Conference which was really good! Elder Rasband came and we had a Q&A meeting. It was super cool and you could feel the spirit. Even though I didn't ask any questions, I still had questions answered and felt pretty good.

After that I went to the apartment of some girls I met during ultimate to help them make a pinata for a little bit. That was interesting and got to know them a little better. After that I watched Harry Potter 7.2 with some girls in my ward... except the last 15 minutes or so. At BYU, there is a schedule of when we can be in the opposite sex's apartments.... Most nights until midnight and Fridays until 1. Since it was Saturday night... midnight came way too fast and I had to leave. LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to see the ending now!

So Saturday was pretty full. Sunday we had Stake Conference and the Stake Presidency was reorganized so that was a nice meeting full of testimonies. After that kinda chilled and studied and stuff.

Yesterday was full of classes, my exam and homework. I went with Hannah Riley, the other FHE co-coordinator and we visited some other FHE groups. Afterwards we went to play volleyball at the Richards Building. It was the first time I have played since the MTC! It was SO fun! I want to play volleyball really bad now! :) It was tight!

Today Tuesday I had my dance class. We still have to test on the Rumba and the Samba. We have a medals exam where we are tested with our teacher and it's like another competition... I think. Anyways, Life is pretty full right now. I am having fun and trying to do my best and that's what counts, right? Anyways, catch y'all later!
