before I explode...

I can't believe this is the last week of classes! Aggh! I have two tests this week, projects that are due during finals week, and finals to study for besides. Is it terrible of me to wish that there were one more week in the semester? *dodges flying projectiles*

So, what happened since I last wrote? I went country swing dancing with a guy who took a month to call me after getting my number. But he had a very good reason--he had the mother of all crazy jobs. He hasn't contacted me since the date, but it's not the end of the world. Perhaps he was put off by the fact that my uncle is his home stake president...ha ha.

Then there was Thanksgiving Break. I got to see my family and my mother's family. I went indoor skydiving. You read right. It was a wind tunnel that simulated skydiving. It was a lot of fun, and I think I might want to try the real thing one day. I ate far too much over a period of several days. Not only was there Thanksgiving dinner, but my family ate out a lot. We went to Music and the Spoken Word on Temple Square, and it was wonderful. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sounds so much better live. We walked around Temple Square for a while. We ran into my cousin Kerstin--she's a violinist with Orchestra at Temple Square. We had to take Paul and Scott to the airport so they could make their bus back to Idaho, and then we went to my Uncle Vernon's house in Alpine for dinner. A very full break indeed. I was actually kind of glad to get back to Provo because my vacation was so full! My parents were in Utah until Wednesday and were able to come to my orchestra concert on Tuesday. My cousin Anika invited us over for dinner before my concert, which was fun. My little cousin Luke had a lightsaber duel with my dad. I never thought I would live to see my dad play with a lightsaber, and make sound effects no less! By the way, Luke won.

What else? My roommate's boyfriend is visiting from Texas. I'm preparing a Sunday School lesson. I'm going home on December 17. My little brother FINALLY got a housing contract. He's going to be living pretty close to me. I seem to have a lunch date next week...yes, with a boy.
