Sincerely, Sidney

Happy Birthday to Ema yesterday! Boy, I sure do love that girl. I met her near the end of the summer. She is from Sweden and is here on a foreign exchange. She's funny and loving and holds fantastic conversations. She loves to read and write and laugh which is good because I like to do all those things too! (: We went to Rib City for dinner, came back to her house and ate cake, and then met with the missionaries. I had a good time, and I hope she did too. I really hope, though, that her birthday was a good one because she sure does deserve it!!!!


Just a little update of this week: stressful. That one word sums it up quite perfectly. I woke up at 5 in the morning twice to get homework done that hadn't gotten done, and today I stayed after for math help for 2 solid hours: from 2:15 to 4:15, and I would have stayed longer if I hadn't needed to get home to eat and change for work. Which, by the way, was a great time. I'm getting the hang of the menu and the computer and serving, so I had a very enjoyable time tonight. (:  In my World Religion's class we performed the epic Ramayana. . . I sure wish it had gone better than it did. I had this vision in my head (as I always do) and like always my vision isn't put to life. I got called out on my perfectionism, though, through this assignment, and it made me realize that yeah, maybe I am a perfectionist. And yeah, maybe it really is annoying sometimes, but when it comes down to it, the things that I get done gets done well. Also, I learned that I'm better at projects if I'm just doing them by myself. (:

I hope everybody else had a great week. It's always good to have the weekend to just get a handle on things again and be able to start fresh again on Monday. And, if you go to AF and you're reading this, thank goodness Mondays are short days, right???? At least that's what I'm thinking!

Anyway, listen to some music from The Help.

Maybe some Little Women too

They never fail to calm me down.
