DISCLAIMER: I have not proofread this. So, if you find errors... it's because I had to go and proofread real homework. ;-)
It's dusk outside, and there's some snow on the ground... inside my bright dorm room, my roommate is listening to her rap... and doing a dance. The sink slowly drip-drops as our California flag sways away from our wall...N64 controllers, backpacks, shoes, and dirty laundry litter our floor... maybe it's time to clean up...
As I walked into the RB, I saw them in massive groups. I noticed their athletic builds and their perfectly kept sandals. Their makeup was flawless, and I could find no imperfection with any of them... I watched the masses parade into a room... I followed the sound of their Latin sandals clicking against the hard floor. I walked into the room and took a look around...Those Latin sandals that I had followed into the room gracefully clicked the floor... I nervously clicked the heels of my own Latin sandals... secretly wishing that they would take me home... I was so intimidated. There was no way that I could dominate that dance floor. So, I left the ballroom try-outs... without even trying out. oh well, there's always next year! ;-)
Well, let's see... college life has been great, so far. It has been a month since I returned to school. This semester, I have started volunteering with TOPS. I basically go and help in a classroom. I love the kids! They are all so cute! It has been fun so far!
Some more volunteering I'm doing is at BYUSA. I have started by writing a few press releases for BYUSA, and that has been going well. Last week, I wrote one about "Knight Games." It's basically a medieval carnival in the Wilk. Next week, I have to write one on YBall. That should be interesting.
Speaking of press releases, I get to write press releases for the Stanislaus County Fair! I loved working there last summer, and I was so happy when they said I could write press releases for this year!
Unfortunately, I'm not writing press releases in my communications classes... I'm not even writing articles. That really bums me out... I miss writing in my classes... my communications 275 class is fun. Learning how to use video editing software is almost worth getting up at 7:15 for 8:00am lab. ;-) The teacher for my communications 239 class is a cool guy, but I wish we got to write... like in communications 211...last semester. On the bright side, my presentation group scored a 90% on our project!! YAY! We would have done better if we hadn't gone 10 minutes over! Ooops! :-P
Speaking of scores, I am soooo excited about my American Heritage test! American Heritage is a dreaded class...that EVERYONE at BYU has to take. I was freaking out about my test... because the TA sent emails that said things like "if you're not happy with your score, don't worry...we'll curve them." Well, I went in and took it... I felt my palms sweat in anticipation. I read over the questions carefully and made a smeary mess of my bubble sheet. With shaking hands, I gave it to the testing center attendant. I quickly ran by the screen with not so much as a glance... I came home and turned on my computer... With my heart pounding, I clicked the link that would give me my score... I got a... 91.2%...wait? Did I see that correctly? I keep making sure it's real, and apparently, it's real! I still have to wait for the written portion to be graded, but I am sooooo grateful that my studying and prayers paid off!!
Matt's taking that class with me... which makes it awesome! :-) He opened his mission call on Friday. He's going to Tallahassee, Florida Spanish speaking!! I am so excited for him, but I will miss him...
Man, I have been typing for a really long time...
As I have been typing, it has become very dark outside... there's some snow on the ground. Inside my bright dorm room, my roommate is still listening to rap... and doing a dance. The sink slowly drip-drops...our California flag makes a swaying movement... the N64 controllers, backpacks, shoes, and dirty laundry still litter our floor... maybe it's finally time to clean it up.
