Stalkerism and the double whammy

I began my life as a stalker today. I was walking home from class, and I saw a boy who looked pretty hot, so I thought I'd follow him to see where he lived. I was glad to find that he lives in the Riv, but he didn't go straight to his apartment. He went to the front desk, so I went in through the other door to the lounge, and puttered around for a bit until he left the office. So then I followed him some more, and come to find he lives by me kind of. I watched what apartment he went into (125) and ran to my ward directory at home. Turns out that our ward boundaries end at 124. Curses!!! So I'll just have to continue my life as a stalker. I hope it's worth it. =)
Anyways, the double whammy: Bill invited me to watch the Office at his sister's house last night, so naturally I said yes. But when we got there, it hadn't recorded properly, so we only got to see the last few minutes, which were hilarious, by the way. Anyways, Bill had to turn in early because he had to study for a test. But he is so cute, as he was walking me to my door, I thanked him for inviting me, and he said, "I like doing things with you." In my mind I did the aaaawwwww, but out loud I just said I like doing things with him too. But when I got to my apartment, I got bored because it was only about 10 o'clock, so I called Aaron, and we went for a walk. It was the freakingest long walk ever, but it was fun.
Here's the punchline: I saw both my boys, and got awkward porch scenes from both of them. Well, at least I have my new boy to stalk.

Dreams?

So I had some crazy dreams last night. In one of them, I was with Kellie, and my little baby piglet, and we were between some portables somewhere, maybe Cope. Anyways, Daddy calls me and says he needs some help. There is a cat that is going to have kittens, and he needed it to come inside his classroom so that it could be out of the rain, but it wouldn't come. So Kellie and I get into the car, and we see a "pelican" which was really a HUGE goose. I'm talking, bigger and taller than me. Kellie and I sit there and wonder at its beauty for a few seconds. (here's what was going through my mind. You know how in real life, Daddy has a great appreciation for bees, and is sad when they're lost when it's cloudy or something? Well, in my dreams, he apparently had this same appreciation for "pelicans," so Kellie and I honored him by watching it) So we see the bird fly off into the stormy sky, and we start driving to Daddy's school. My piglet was in my lap, and when I looked down, it looked really sick and wasn't moving. By the time we got out of the car, it was dead. I was so sad, and I just stood there holding my limp little piglet. That's when I woke up (it was about 3:30) and I was crying. I had to calm myself down for a few minutes, and I don't know why it made me so sad, but it did, and it still does. Moral of the story, don't get me a piglet unless you know it's going to live.
But there's a happy ending: I did my first successful french braid to my hair today, and it looks really cute.

So I guess I should write a new post since some pretty fun stuff has happened this week. First of all, Bill asked me on Tuesday if I wanted to do something with him on Saturday. Of course I said yes, so I guess we're going hiking tomorrow. My plan is to ask him up to my apartment afterwards to watch a movie. I hope it works.
On Wednesday, I got called into an interview with one of the members of the bishopric, and I totally got a calling! Sunday school Secretary! I have no idea as to what I'm going to be doing, but I think they'll give me an idea. I'll figure it out. I'm just so excited because it's my first honest to goodness calling.
Last night Leesa and I went on the porch to eat some beans, and Juliet and a boy named David came and joined us. Then the guitars came out and people started singing, and the sidewalk chalk came to play. It was fantastic!
Today (or some day soon) is Mexican Independence day, so Claudia has invited us all to go to a big fiesta where there will be salsa dancing, and salsa eating, and Jorge! Maybe I got the spelling wrong, but he is still rock awesome.
This week I've gotten two letters from Tim, one containing some fun pictures! I got one of him and Monson Elder in front of the Provo temple, and another of them doing a Matrix shot. It looks pretty cool.
I'm super stoked for Sunday dinner at Grandma's house. I hope my rolls last that long. They've been doing pretty good all week, but I don't know. Bread can be fickle.
My classes are all going wonderfully. I have about 1 Billion online quizzes every week, and this week I did really well on all of them. I hope I can keep up the tradition. In Shakespeare, there is an extra credit opportunity where we can perform a scene from the play we're studying. Right now we're doing As You Like It, and I've volunteered. I am really excited. Yesterday, Leesa and this boy were practicing a scene for their drama class, and the inner-director came out of me. I feel a little bad for interrupting, and I know I should have let them do it on their own, but when I see a possible improvement, I have to say it. After the boy left, Leesa wanted some help, so I got to run though the scene with her a few times and it was totally fun.
Oh, today in my stats lab, we were going around introducing ourselves and saying something interesting about ourselves. When my turn came around, I said that I loved to play ping pong. This guy across the room whipped his head around and said, "are you good?" I had to give him the honest truth and say, "yeah, I'm pretty good." Then he got to talking about setting up a ping pong club at school and I could be the co president. Then when it was finally his turn, his interesting thing was that he had been the ping pong champion at the school where he did his undergrad. When he was saying it, he was looking right at me. The whole thing was pretty funny, and I hope I get a ping pong game out of it.
Holly, did you know that Bill is 6'2? Wowsers.

First of all, I apologize to everyone who has written Hecht Elder, and not received a letter from him yet. I thought for sure he would write back. Maybe there was some freak accident and all your letters got lost. I dunno.
So Brittany and I just went to the temple to do the family names, and it was a really great experience. It was fun seeing my cousin again, but walking to the temple in high heels was not a great idea. When we got to the temple, Brittany was to do the family names, and so she got baptized and confirmed at the waters edge. I was watching from the area behind the glass with the pews, and I noticed that she was doing four names instead of three. I thought they'd just given her an extra name from the temple, so I thought nothing of it and did some confirmations. Then when I went to the fount, they asked if I was going to do the other family names, and I told them that my cousin had done them. Tuns out, Brittany did another family's names. Oops! But that's OK because I got to do our family names and get confirmed for them. Altogether it was great.
So I am really excited for my classes. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have at least one friend in each class, so I won't be so lonely. Juliet and I are in the same Physical Science class, so it will be nice to have a study Buddy and someone to keep me awake. I'm excited that Shelley and I are sharing a class, and it turns out that Roxy and I are in the same New Testament class!! When I saw her walking past me in the hall, I grabbed her, then we went to the same class. What a welcome surprise!!! Stats is scary, but I'm gonna get help and do well in it. All my other classes seem pretty cool.
And Holly, I'm gonna ask Bill on a date tonight. Don't worry!
