I feel like such a sillikins sometimes. I got my test back today from Shakespeare, and it was one of those where you get a scan tron, but you also have to write on the actual test for essays and things. I'd forgotten about the scan tron part, and I saw that I hadn't circled an answer for many of the questions. I started freaking out, wondering why I hadn't answered so many of the questions. Lots of the m were the easy ones, too. When I finally realized the reality of it, I started laughing out loud. I don't know if professor Shakespeare appreciated that... or even heard it. Oh well, I like that class... efre nit! In a pumpkin!

My Country Dancing Boy

So yesterday I had absolutely no plans, and that felt pretty nice. I slept in, went to the temple. (shout out to Shelley. I walked all the way there, and right as I went through the doors, I realized I'd forgotten my recommend. I didn't really feel like making the hour round trip to get it, so I called Shell and she drove me. That was super awesome, so Thank you!!!) Anyways, it was really nice in there. It was a long wait, and I ended up staying there until about 1:15. And considering I left my house at about 10:30, it was a nice long break from home, and roommates, and homework, and life in general. It was just a really cool thing to sit there and think about life, and read the scriptures and whatnot. So when I went home and showered, I wrote my New Testament paper. It was pretty good (but I feel like a sillykins, because I sent my "draft" to our group. It was actually my Machiavelli paper for Music 201. One of the girls was nice enough to write me back telling me it was the wrong one, so I did eventually send out the right one). While I was taking a lunch break, the boy that I met country dancing called me. He gets extra points for actually using my number. Anyways, he asked me on a date, and it was actually a really fun night. We went to Fat Cats, and I had a resounding win: 74 to 50! Oh, man we were bad, but it was still pretty fun. Then we came back to the Riv and played a little ping pong. He stunk pretty bad, which deducted some points from him. Then we went back to our apartment, and Juliet, Bubba, and Dan were sitting there eating Chinese food and watching Divince Comedy. We did that for a while, then Bubba put in the Book of Mormon movie. I laughed the whole time, just because it is ridiculously bad. Then Jaren, Jordan, and Joel came over to borrow a movie, and ended up staying. Mike (country dancing boy) must have felt a little crowded, because he then asked me if I wanted to go on a walk. We did, and we ended up sitting on some of the rocks by the little duck pond next to the bell tower. We talked about a ton of stuff, and he's a music major, so we sang together, Coldplay, Lifehouse, Jason Mraz. It was totally fun. Then he sang me a song in Portuguese, so I sang him one in French, and it was cool. Then when we were walking back, he gave me his coat because he saw that I was freezing. Also, something that won him major points was, he asked me the question, "Do you like the book Frankenstein?" You've got to be kidding me! I'm reading that right now, thanks to Holly! Yeah, it was a fun date, and he invited me to hike the Y with him and his roommate and another girl next Saturday. It will be pretty cool if I go on two dates in one day, because next Saturday night will be the fateful night (hopefully) of my date with Ryker. And Roxy will get to meet my hot Shakespeare boy, Andrew. It will be totally awesome!

Country Dancing...

So I decided to be a little spontaneous tonight, and actually went with Leesa when she invited me country dancing. I didn't really know what to expect, but it was all right. A couple of boys asked me to dance, and one named Mike asked for my number. Crazy, no? I did a few of the line dances, and most of them were really hard, so I couldn't get them by the end of the dance. Leesa is so good at them, though. I didn't have enough fun to actually ever go again. Also, I just kept looking at all the people there and couldn't stop feeling like they were all totally lame. Maybe I shouldn't go again to prevent myself from judging. But, now I can say that I've gone country dancing, and Leesa can't use the line, "you'll have fun!" because I now know the truth of what I will have... not fun.
Also, I did not see Ryker today. Ryker day is a special day, but when you don't actually see Ryker, what is the point of Ryker day? No point. When I realized I wasn't going to see him, I should have just jumped back in bed. I saw a couple guys who looked like Ryker at country dancing, but then I knew it wasn't him, because Ryker is not lame. But he would still look hot in flannel.

Shout out to Cari: I am taking Shakespeare from The Shakespeare... not THE Shakespeare... But yes, I like his class.

I just ordered a shirt from Woot Shirt, and it should be here by next Wednesday at the latest. Maybe I should stop checking it in the middle of the night so I'm not so easily swayed.

I totally got an 85% on my stats test, and that may not sound like much, but I am totally excited!!! It might even go up a little because of an extra question and the written portion.

When I was walking to work from the testing center, I was talking to Mom on the phone, (which was really fun by the way), and I saw Aaron. I pretended like I didn't see him, and I'll bet he did the same to me. It still geeked me out a little.

I've resolved to ask Ryker on a date. Roxy and I are doubling on the 17th, and that sounds like the perfect opportunity. But I have an anxiety attack every time I merely think about doing it. So Shelley, be prepared to take some extreme life-saving measures after class on me. I will most likely need it.

I'm going to an elementary school tomorrow to present a minilesson to some kids on the water cycle. I hope it goes well. I'm sad though, because it will cause me to miss music 201, and most likely all of Marriage and Family. Which reminds me... I need to email my friends to send me some notes. I shall do that now.

PS: the picture is from Leesa's party. Nelson, Leesa, Bubba, and I are enjoying the nun-chucks that the boys gave her. It's name is Heratio.

So you know how I stalked that boy from 125 a while ago? I saw him again today when I was walking back from class. This time he was standing waiting for the cross walk, so I went and stood by him so I could get a good look at his face. At that point I decided stalking him wasn't really worth it. Plus it turns out that everyone is on team Griffin. (by the way, his last name is not Christmas. It's Weaver. But maybe I can hold out for the middle name) I sent an invite to him on Facebook to Leesa's birthday party. If he shows, you will all hear about it.
I took a bag of candy to Jaren last night and talked to him for a few minutes. He is so the cutest.
I also went running last night with a friend, and it was so amazing. I love running, and we were going at a good pace for about 30-40 minutes. I really need to go running more often. It's good for my body, but it's really good for my brain.
Now I must study for my Shakespeare midterm that I am going to take in about three hours. Here is the sonnet I had to memorize for it:

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of Heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair that thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eye can see,
So long live this, and this give life to thee.

Boomshadow! Punctuation and all. And I totally only started memorizing today.
