December Highlights


So it has been a pretty crazy two months. It has been nice to be done with school. It was a crazy end of the semester. I was trying to finish volunteer hours for abnormal psychology, write papers, tests, presentations, and then finals. Here I am with my project for Introduction to Therapeutic Recreation. It went through over 500 sheets and an ink cartridge. It was insane but I got 100% on it.





There were many parties to celebrate Christmas and the end of the semester. I'm on the student council for my major and we had a Christmas breakfast. We told the students that we'd have waffles and pancakes. We had enough of the mix and enough griddles and waffle makers, unfortunately, we blew all the fuses in the room (including the one for the computer so our Christmas music was gone). So, we ended up having one griddle and one waffle maker going in the hallway. We were suppose to have one of the members of the faculty dress up as Santa, but the person responsible to bring the costume slept passed his alarm. It was crazy! Definitely a learning experience.



I'm in the Relief Society Presidency and so we planned a Christmas party. We had house making but instead of using ginger bread, we used wafers and frosted mini wheats. There were a few bumps getting ready for that event but it turned out pretty well.






John and Edna had their twin girls blessed in Edna's parent's ward. It was great to be able to attend.






We had everyone home for Christmas. It was a bit crazy having 11 adults and 4 babies in the house, but it was fun. We definitely did not do the Hallelujah chorus run. That stampede would have been very dangerous.





I went with my friend, Samantha, to a pajama New Year's Eve party at the institute. I think that was one of the better New Year's Eves that I've celebrated. We watch the movie "The Fall", played games, and brought in the New Year with sparkling cider.
