Survival

Somehow I can never remember the beginning of the week. I guess it's because I'm just focused on pure survival until the hump day (Wed) and the weekend begins to seem like it will come after all. I do remember watching devotional with Keith on Tuesday. Wednesday I taught in German again, analyzing "Ein Fester Burg ist unser Gott," a hymn written by Martin Luther that contains the core beliefs of the Lutheran movement. I felt really good about it. In dance we started choreographing for our short performance at the dance lab this coming Wed. It's so fun -- we're cha chaing to Mario music (yes, the game boy Mario) and yes we do have a Mario and a princess. Need I say more :-)?
Thursday was a huge blur. Dad came to visit, which was really fun. I introduced him to Dr. Kelling, talked with them for a while, then went to my Book of Mormon class. After that eternity was over Dad took me to Brick Oven where we met Rachel and enjoyed a scrumptious meal and good conversation. The best part was dessert - a fresh, hot chocolate chip cookie smothered in ice cream and fudge sauce with a lavish helping of whipped cream on top... SOOOOOOO good!!!!!! It was 10pm when I got back to the dorm. Cami met me in the hall and said "oh my gosh, I have to see your reaction!" "What do you mean?" was my shocked response. There was a cookie sheet on my bed with a card attached. The poem on the card invited me to go to the malt shop with Keith. The cookie was the size of the sheet and had Happy Valentines Day and little hearts of frosting all over it. Friday after class and a fast trip to Walmart he took me to the malt shop, and we had fun talking. Saturday we went on a double date which was pretty much crazy fun. We ate a spaghetti dinner with all four of our hands tied to each other, eating with ladles and spatulas. We did give up halfway through, but it was fun anyway. After some delicious home made cookies we played pit and Egyptian rat screw. I spent the rest of my Saturday grading tests… yeah… not so fun.
Anyway, love and miss you all!!
