End of the Semester Fun

The last few weeks of the semester are so fun, minus the finals, crazy amounts of studying and sleepless nights. Anyways, on Saturday, my roommate, Brooke, and I were in a dance competition and performance. I danced the Waltz with my dance partner, Matt (who is pretty cute, just sayin). There were 80 couples dancing the waltz, we had to dance in different heats because there were so many of us, and after each round we would either get called back or be cut. Time and time again Matt and I heard them call out our dance number, 444. We were so excited and made it through each round and ended up placing 5th, we even got a green ribbon. It was fun, and the best part is Matt and I hardly practiced. Brooke was suppose to dance the Waltz with Doug, but he had a test to take that morning, so he didn't make it and they had to compete in the ChaCha, which they didn't practice, but they ended up doing well. They got in the top 12 out of 120 couples. The dance competition was in the morning and the performance was at night, so in between dancing I went to the Sandbar in St. Anthony with a bunch of friends. It was such a great day for swimming with the sun shinning, the water felt so good. I taught Brooke how to dive, I've never been more proud! After that swimming adventure, the girls went out to Big Judds for dinner, which wasn't a great idea to do right before dancing again. Oh well. So the dance performance finally came, and my group performed the Waltz. My group was pretty intense and held practices outside of class, there were some pretty heated arguments that went down too, but it ended up being a pretty good performance. My partner was crazy tall and it made it difficult for me to dance with him. After the dancing was done, Brooke, Martha, Kayla and I had to go jump one of Martha and Kayla's roommates car that died in the middle of nowhere, Idaho..It took us quite a while to find them, but when we did we jumped the car and off we went. Yes, the girls, well mostly Brooke, jumped the car, GIRL POWER!
On Sunday we did our usual after church activity...watch a movie, sleep, park. This time we went to a little neighborhood park that has 2 swings, slide, merry-go-round, and open grassy field. It was a relaxing activity. There were 2 little boys there and we played games with them like red light, green light and freeze tag. They totally owned us, they even told us we were old...which I guess to them, we are! After the park, we went to Zach's apartment and made a cake and brownies because we have to get rid of all our food before the end of the sememster.
On Monday we had our ward closing social, which was a cook out at the park and we had waterballons in baby pools and volleyball. It was pretty fun. I got thrown in the pool and was soaking wet right from the start, but I did nail a few people pretty good. Since we were already wet, we went to the sandbar again, but it was kinda cold because the sun was setting. When we returned home from the ward activity, we discovered that Nate and Reed (who brooke and I were in a Prank war with) got into our apartment, through a window, and turned all our funiture and appliances in our living room and kitchen upside down, opened all the drawers and cupboards and threw 7 trash bags full of newspaper all over our apartment, bedrooms, bathrooms, literally everywhere! They also attemped to make Jello in our toilets, but that failed, thankfully! It took us a good half hour to clean up. And we surrenedered to them because we were afraid of what they would and could do to us...



This is our apartment after Nate and Reed got done with it. :(
Tuesday I began the long process of packing. With a break that involved riding around in Nate's jeep throwing waterballons. I'm sorry to report that we did not have very good aim. Haha.
Today I took a psychology final and gave a presentation in my art methods class. Now all I have to look forward to is intense packing and cleaning. How I'm suppose to fit all my stuff in my little Jetta is beyond me, but it will be done!

Peace and Blessings.
