The bishop had wisdom enough to finally let me work with those who are right at my level the SUNBEAMS!!! Boy are they bursting with energy enough to keep me busy! Today we talked about temples, why we go to them, what we do, and what we can do to prepare to enter them. I handed out each kid about 5 temple pictures to hang in their room, and the rest of the class was spent building our own "temples" with lego's. They loved it! I got my camera out to take pictures of our creations but sure enough, the kids just had to have their turn, so sorry the heads are cut off.
Last week our lesson was on how we love our whole family, including cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. I asked them what where some things they do with their whole family, when one girl said "we go camping" I said, should we go camping too? Of course they just thought it was so cool that we could build a tent out of blankets over chairs, and sit in it, eat treats, sing songs, and string froot loops onto necklaces!
And the week before the lesson was on how we love our brothers and sisters, so we went outside and drew with sidewalk chalk our families and they even got to take home some chalk to share with their siblings!
I am sure that there is definitely no calling greater than this. Where else can you play with legos, build a tent, draw with chalk, and eat treats?
Ok, so I'm not really getting my doctorate but I'm graduating! YAY! Just with my associates but hey, you have to find some reason to rejoice when all you see in front of you is piles of papers, books, scantrons, pens, pencils, calling you to get your homework done. And what is the deal with all these finals? Do teachers really think that we actually get anything out of the midnight cramming, endless stressing, and all nighters? STOOOPID!!! In closing, I leave this poem:
Now I Lay Me Down to Study,
I pray the Lord I Won't go nutty.
If I should fail to learn this junk,
I pray the Lord I will not flunk.
But if i do don't pity me at all,
just lay my bones in the study hall.
Tell my prof that i did my best,
Then pile my books upon my chest.
Now I lay me down to rest,
and pray i'll pass tomorrow's test
and if I should die before I wake,
that's one less test i'll have to take
Just 2 more weeks just 2 more weeks just 2 more weeks just 2 more weeks just 2 more weeks just 2 more weeks just 2 more weeks just 2 more weeks.
Hope everyone had an awesome spring break!

acetaminophen (tylenol) is called that for a reason. It's chemical structure contains an acetyl, amine, and a phenol. Thus acetaminophen. And all these years, I thought it was just because they couldn't think of anything better.

So after the short but wonderful break of working, working, and working, and 600 dollars. I'm back at school, in freakin 2 feet of snow and in a city where no one has heard of a snow plow let alone a snow shovel...GOSH!!! What is wrong with these people??? Plus it's supposed to snow again this weekend. 3 days into classes and I'm already wanting a break. My classes are so boring...I can't help but fall asleep. Well this is a pretty lame blog, but at least Catherine can't complain anymore for me not updating, even though she doesn't even have a blog...
