the last several weeks have been packed. so starting from the beginning...
june 5, my birthday. was greatly surprised by the sisters. very touching and sweet.
finals week june 11 - 15. that was definitely interesting, very little sleep, and a whole lot of energy drinks. lots of cramming info on yams and fishing. had an interesting adventure trying to find a room to study in one night. we wandered from haines, to royce, to powell, to pab, to ms, to finally boelter. i probably got about 3 hours max of sleep every night. not good. then friday, grace and i stayed up til 5am doing the stencils for the grad reception banner. woke up at 9 the next morning to start woking on the banner at haskell. the reception was so sweet and living. the testimonies were awesome. it was a lot of fun but kinda crazy. instead of going to sleep early, i helped the sisters pack and then helped grace make gifts for the seniors. again, did not sleep until 4am. so Lord's day i was completely pooped. and ended up taking a long nap after table meeting. then finally last week i was at home catching up on sleep. it was normal and, actually, good. my dog is too cute. my mom's doing well too. i feel like she has more respect for me. i don't know how this came to be, but it's good. although major decisions do fall on me now. eh which ever. instead of flying back to LA, i drove my car down. i still can't believe my parents let me drive to LA. i guess they're starting to see me differently, instead of as a kid. it's weird having my car here. and now i'm at work, really bored and hopefully going home soon. i really want to do something fun, but i don't know what. i think i'll go find sisters to have dinner with tonight.
