End of Semester

Wow. Dude, I'm almost 20. But, before we get to that, I'm gonna go over the past few weeks. :)
So, The week after the wedding was... General Conference?! Yeah. SO COOL!! Shelby got us tickets to Saturday Afternoon session. :) And, it was pretty crazy cuz it was in the Bishop's section. We were pretty dang close! ANNNND -- okay okay I'm getting too excited. *breathe... start from the beginning* OKAY. So, I called Jenni Newell and she came down with us, so that was fun. :) We scoured her a ticket which was SWEET and when we got to our section (here's where the "AAANNND" comes in!!) We sat RIIIGHT next to Bishop Holloway and his family!!!!! :D Seriously, seeing a familiar face from home was one of the most exciting things in the world. I sat next to Maddy and hhh... it was just so good to talk to Bishop Holloway and his family again. I love the Holloways. hhh... AND, Bishop and Sister Cain and their oldest daughter were right behind us!! SO COOL! Conference was amazing, as usual. :) Well, then my roommates went home, but Jenni and I wanted to stay and shop, so we did. :) hehe we trammed to Gateway Mall and OH MY GOODNESS!! Coolest mall EVER! :) I'm not normally a mall person, cuz I get a headache way bad after a few minutes, but this mall was outdoor and just so cool. We shopped and it was just lovely. :) I bought some really cute clothes and I'm way stoked about them. :) hehe!! Then, we realized we probably had missed the bus for that night and well... we were stranded. SO, I called Emmy and she and Amy came and got Jenni and I. We spent the night at their house and we had so much fun! In the morning, I called my home teacher from last semester, Dan, cuz I knew his family would be at the Sunday sessions of conference. He was way cool and came and picked us up at Em's and took us home. :) it was fun. What an amazing weekend!! :)
The next weekend (April 9) was the sadie hawkins dance. :) :) :) I think I wrote about that else where.
That week was the last week of classes and the start of finals. Classes were Monday through Wednesday and then we had two reading days. Finals started Saturday. I finished up Ballet first, with a dance final and then a 98% on the written final. :) Tuesday classes, well, they're all kind of a blur. haha! Reading days were fun! :) I didn't do a whole lot, I wasted most of Thursday. But I actually studied on Friday! I studied by the Tree of Life cuz I figured I could use all the help I could get. :P
This is me studying by the tree of life. Kind of a weird picture. But I like it. :P  And, my neck isn't malfunctioned... it's just the picture. 
I loved it there though, there were kids playing on it and it was SO sunny out!! hhh... wonderful. :) Saturday, I started finals week off with a 92% on my German Cinema final! :) I didn't get an immediate score, cuz it was all essay... but it took me the whole three hours alloted. WOW. There were like 10 baby essays which were 100-200 words. Then, we had 2 medium essays which were like 400 words. Then, we had one big essay which was like... 900 words? Maybe 1000? OY. Lots of writing, but that's what I do best! :P I kicked butt! Then, I took my Living Prophets final and got an 88%. What an awesome way to start out finals week!! :) hehe 4 finals down, only 3 to go! The weekend was slightly insane... But again, elsewhere.
Monday started up the finals again and I met Katelin on campus at 8 AM. I studied for 11 hours on campus and left because I was just so frustrated. I wanted to take the test that day but the longer I studied, the worse I got. :( I was studying for Language Structure ALL day which is probably where I went wrong. My mind was literally fried. I was planning on taking it but I took my practice quizzes and failed them both. So I just went home and called Jen and asked for help. I was so frustrated, almost bawling my eyes out the whole way home. UGH. FINALS. Jen and I worked for another 4 hours and I got up Tuesday and took the test. I studied 15 hours for that test and still didn't do as well as I wanted. It turned in to one of those, "I've done all I can so I don't feel bad" things. haha! But really, I did alright. It was a HARD test. And I ended up just fine in the class. THEN, that same day (tuesday...) I studied for a good 8 hours and took my Disorders of Articulation test. I was too scared to look at my score so I just went home. That test was just bogus. hhh... BUT, I went home and studied for Language Disorders and I studied with Katelin at 8 AM Wednesday morning. We studied together for like 8 hours and I went and took the test... I did ok. :) Not my favorite test scores. BUT, they'll do! :P hahah! and, FINALS WERE OOOOVVVVEEEERRRR!!! teeheeeheeehee!! I think I skipped the whole way home. :P
The next few days were cuuurazy! I had to move out of my apartment, which, not gonna lie, was probably the most depressing thing ever. :( I babysat for the Squires and I partied a little bit. :P I moved most of my stuff to Ariel's house while I had cleaning checks, then I moved all my summer stuff to the Squire's new house. I gave blood and hung out and looked for housing a WHOLE lot. :( Laree and I FINALLY found a place called Stonebridge II. We're excited about it cuz it's only $245 a month and guaranteed parking! :P My roommates and I went out for one last party to get frozen yogurt. Actually, Laree and I went to campus to celebrate the finding of our house and Paigey caught us there. We promised we'd still be up for yogurt, and OH - we WERE! :P I got enough to last me 4 months. haha! jk, I am gonna go through yogurt withdrawals. Anyways, this is us. :P

 Yeah, I was just a little too excited cuz Paigey had the brilliant idea of putting toppings on the bottom. Yeah, she's a genius.

I adore my roommates. hhh... I'm gonna miss them so much. :( We got these SWEET filmstrip photos from the mall that I will put on here as soon as I scan them in!! :D WOOT!!
Anyways, Thursday came around and I went to Emmy's! We watched Born to Be Wild on IMAX. Seriously, the coolest movie EVER. We ate at Tucanos and hhh... life. is. good. I'm home now and Andrew's home and :) :) :) yeah. That about sums it.
