Testing

I just completed my third test in two days. I really want to find out how I did on all of them. I studied so hard for my Chemistry test. But when I got to it, I couldn't remember everything. I ended up doing some (very educated) guessing. Then, I had an easy Creative Arts test, and I just took an online test. It was open notes, and I only missed one question. I'm so nervous about finding out the results of my Chemistry test. It was such a hard test. So much material was covered. I wish we had homework assignments in that class. The grade is calculated purely off the tests. I don't like that very much.

A Call to Repentance

Hear Ye, Hear Ye. I issue a call to repentance unto my sisteren. Today is February 26. This means that in 3 days it will be exactly a year from March 1 2008. I hope you all recall what took place on that historic day. Let me remind you if you've forgotten. We all (Stephanie Lambert, Marinda Townsend, Morgan Goudy, and I, Lacey Johnson) took a vow to abstain from consuming chocolate. The conditions of this vow included dying your hair blond if you broke it. To my knowledge, I am the only one that has kept this vow. I now call on you to fulfill the conditions of this vow.

A Major Award

I've won a major award. It might be a bowling alley. Or a leg lamp. Or $100!!! I think that I personally would like to have won 100 dollars. Oh wait. I think I did. This weekend, the USU Swing Club put on Harlem Nights. They flew in professional dancers from Seattle. Their names were Mike Faltesek, and Casey Schneider. They taught some amazing workshops. There were also dances and competitions. Josh Ferrer (he taught me practically everything I know) and I entered the First-Timers competition. We figured we'd maybe get 2nd place if we were lucky, because some of the other couples had more experience than I did. They were even doing lifts and stuff. And we'd talked to several other people who thought that we'd get 2nd or 3rd. Well, they announced the winners, and the 3rd place was the couple we thought would win. And the 2nd place was a couple we thought might not have done as well. So, we were figuring that maybe we'd gotten fourth place. But then they called our names and we were shocked. It was so cool to go up and shake the professional dancers' hands and have them congratulate us. They had been two of the 5 judges. We also collected a $200 prize, which we split. We weren't even going to enter the competition until one of our swing teachers encouraged us to. I'm glad I listened to her, it really "paid" off.

Morgan's Shower





While I have my camera here, I think I'll share some pictures of the baby shower.

Muhahaha

For those of you who can't tell, the title of this post is me, laughing evilly. This is because I pulled a dirty trick. Actually, I was only an accomplice, but still. It was funny. On Monday, we were bored so I brought down my copy of 199 Ways to Confuse a Roommate. One of the items was: Dance around them excitedly when they get home for five minutes. After that look at your watch and say, "Shouldn't you be going somewhere?" Well, we determined that we would try to confuse Kim because she wasn't back from home yet. As we were waiting for her to get home, Kasi had the brilliant idea to switch her and Kim's bedding. I helped pull of the switch. So, when Kim got home we all confused her with our behavior. And then somebody said, "Just wait til you go upstairs." So she ran upstairs and saw the result of our mischievousness. The picture on the left is Kim's bed with Kasi's stuff on it, and the picture on the right is Kasi's bed with Kim's stuff on it.

Two Months Late


The mug enjoyed the bountiful feast shared by the Johnson Family this Christmas season. It loved the eggnog and peppermint pleaser, as I'm sure we all did. We're so grateful for this addition to our family and look forward to the fun we'll have with him throughout the year. I shall keep you updated on his activities throughout the year.

Snow

I find myself a little in bit in the humdrum of Winter. It started snowing on Sunday, and hasn't stopped since, even if it's just tiny flakes. All the trees are covered in snow, and one has to be careful walking under them or they might find that their necks are cold and wet (this has happened to me a couple of times). It just feels really dreary up here. But, all this dreariness and bad weather just makes Spring and Summer seem all the brighter. I can't wait til they arrive!
