On Monday, we had our last FHE activity, and us girls planned a redneck paint-balling fight. Basically, there's a red team and a yellow team... the red team uses ketchup and the yellow team uses mustard. The idea was to squirt a little ketchup or mustard onto a marshmallow, and then throw it at someone... not surprisingly though, we soon forgot about the marshmallows, cause it wasn't getting the other person "good enough". ;) We ended up running all over this grassy field, bottles in our hands, getting each other as messy as possible, hahaaa!!! Good times. That's not where it ends either. We told the guys to walk with us back to our apartment for refreshments (where we had planned a surprise attack). We filled four garbage cans with 300 dye-filled water balloons and stationed them in different spots around the building, so when we got there, some of us went to "get the food" while some of us disappeared into the laundry room and garbage shed. As soon as the guys were all chillin' on the grass, we jumped out and ambushed them! It was great! You should have seen their faces, haha... they were pretty shocked, but it didn't take them long to figure out where these balloons were coming from, and they soon overpowered us. SO... we ruined the clothes that we were wearing, but it was totally worth it :D
Thursday, my schedule was slammed-- went from 10am to 9pm out of my apartment. One of the requirements for my "Fitness For Life" class is to take a Wellness Exam at the Wellness Center at both the beginning of the semester and at the end, and to write a paper comparing the results. I gained 30 pounds. HAHAHAHAA!!!! Juuuust Kidding :D I was actually pretty happy with myself... I got my resting heart rate down, lost 4% of my body fat, am in the 98th percentile for curl-ups and flexibility, and benched 75 pounds! Hahaa... don't laugh too hard at that last part... I've never bench pressed anything in my life. All the guys that were in the weight room there at the gym were HUGE!!! Talk about scary :O
Friday was pretty fun... I went on a big group date, where we played Ultimate Frisbee (Hooray for getting sweaty on a date, LOL) and then watched Stardust. Unfortunately, we had White Glove at 8am on Saturday morning, and I didn't even start my portion of the cleaning. You know me... I just HAVE to procrastinate, haha :) Anyway, I had to clean my bedroom and the Bathroom... don't even ask how I got stuck cleaning the bathroom... I have no idea. Big shout out of love to my roommates who assigned me to that while I was not there to protest. I ended up cleaning through the night, by the time I was done, I had 45 minutes before we got clean checked, so I fell asleep on the couch. By the way, I think I'm permanently scarred from some of the nasty crap in there... I had to HAND SCRUB the toilet INSIDE and out (thank goodness for those long yellow gloves), and the bathroom floor because we didn't have a mop. Also: girls have a lot of hair. One word: Ew.
After pulling the all-nighter, I got invited to have a Lord of The Rings marathon at my FHE brother's house in Blackfoot Idaho. After the hour long drive there, we decided that we'd only have time to watch the 2nd and 3rd movies, because the were the EXTENDED version.... making each movie 4 hours long. Yeah, 8 hours seemed to be a pretty decent chunk of time. :) I was wondering what I had gotten myself into... but it turned out to be awesome. Usually, I feel like if I don't do something productive, then why the heck would I even get out of bed, but Saturday ended up being the perfect day to be lazy. Basically, we would watch a couple hours, let the projector cool off, eat some dinner, watch a couple hours, eat dessert, watch a couple more hours, etc. The best part was that after only 45 minutes of sleep that night, it was easy for my to drift into sleep during the "repetitive" parts of the movies. Hahaaa... I think you would have laughed at me if you saw that on one of these "drifting off into sleep" occasions, I accidentally fell asleep on one of the guys! I woke up up and in my head I was like, "AHHHHH!!! How did this happen?!?! AWKWARD!!!" but in real life, I played it off like it was no big deal... ahhaahaaa.... the worst part is that he didn't seem to mind.... ahhhh.... good thing the end of the semester is in 2 more days!!!! :]
The highlight for Sunday is that I got my Temple Recommend!!! I'm leaving Rexburg late on Thursday night to head down to Utah for a week before going home, so I'm going to the temple with my roomie on Thursday morning. I also finally got released from my Sunday School Teacher calling, so that will be one less thing to worry about as well.
Well, sorry it's been a while since I've posted... I keep meaning to update it, but I get busy with other things. Hope you have an awesome upcoming week!!! Wish me luck on my Finals :P
