PHYSICS EXAM

Hello Everyone!

This has been a very very busy week (as always). It started off very nicely on Monday... after my last class was over (7pm), the Miller family (Uncle Brett and Aunt Heather and cousins) came to pick me up for a family home evening lesson and some homemade food. It was pretty cold outside, so we just drove down to the RB (Richards Building - where all the sports have practices and stuff), pulled some benches together in a deserted hall and had a wonderful lesson about Paul and his teachings about trials of our faith.

Tuesday was review day in physics... I was getting really nervous and felt pretty unprepared for the exam that we were reviewing for (not a normal feeling for me before a test). Wednesday afforded no chances to study (it's one of the busiest days in my week), and calculus was especially torturous as always. Thursday I committed to study for physics all day... what a bleak prospect! The Lord knew I needed a little reassurance and I did get a little sunshine in my day! My German professor emailed me, congratulated me on participating so well in his class and being prepared, and finally on my exam - according to him I had written by far the best exam of the class! I got up and screamed for joy!!! I could do college! I would survive, no matter what happened in physics or calculus. If things got really bad, I'd just major in German and have fun (which I have been seriously considering by the way).

FRIDAY came. Exam day. Surprisingly, I wasn't too nervous... it didn't really matter if I failed, all I had to do was my best. Tender mercy of the Lord: the test was easier than I expected, and although I'm sure didn't get 100, I didn't fail (I find out sometime this week). Friday evening to celebrate, Erin and I went to play volleyball and some football (2 hand touch) which was really fun.

Saturday I woke up early to go to a study group for Book of Mormon (I have an exam coming up this week for that), and I'm a little nervous because there are sooooooo many things to remember. Right after that I listened to 30 min. of Handel's Water Music for German, came back to the dorms and started to write my paper about it. Erin and I went to lunch, then got ready to go to World of Dance. It was pretty much absolutely amazing. The cougarettes, the ballroom dancers, the theater ballet, the stompers, the cloggers... everything!! All of these people moving in perfect unison in brilliant costumes with awesome music... it was inspirational. I came back and continued work on my music paper for German, but within a few minutes it was time to leave for the Relief Society broadcast in the Merriot center. Erin was so kind as to drive us all up... it was a freezing cold wet night... the mountains were covered in snow. When we got back I did homework till midnight, and I still have some things to do for Monday (I made significant progress though!).

Today in like 15 min. I'm going to a Relief Society training meeting... always something going on!!!!!!

Love you all and love to hear from you!!
