It's been a while since I wrote anything. Life has pretty much been business as usual. I'm really enjoying my classes this semester. While I could probably write pages and pages about how amazing physiology is, I will spare you. It's bizarre to me that no one else finds it as fascinating as I do, but I try to be understanding :)
I finished a book on my reading list: "The Hunt for Red October." It was really good. I wish I had more spare time, because it's almost embarrassing how long it took me to read the whole thing. Right now I'm working on a book assigned to me for a political science class, so my reading list is on temporary hiatus.
Tonight was my roommate Kim's birthday. Suzy wanted to make her a cake that my neighbors have euphemistically named 'Better than Spuds Cake' but when she mentioned it, she only called it 'Spuds Cake.' Kim was a bit concerned about a cake made with potatoes, but Suzy quickly reassured her that the hash browns rehydrate during the baking process and take on the chocolaty flavor. The elaborate stories that Suzy ad libs always amaze me. For four days Kim was steeling herself to be brave as she ate the 'Spuds Cake,' determined to be open-minded and polite. The poor thing. Pretty soon all of our roommates were in on the secret, and only Kim was left to worry about what kind of people actually put potatoes in birthday cake. Tonight we ate it. She was such a trooper. After her first bite, she asked where the hash browns were. By that point we were all laughing so hard that she realized she had been had. Happy 20th Kim!
In Relief Society yesterday we learned about the new Mormon.org website. Members have been encouraged to go to the site and create profiles, much like the profiles on social networking sites like Facebook. On your profile you post a picture of yourself and answer questions about your life and your beliefs. These profiles are available to the public (but not any private information) and will be used as a tool by missionaries to help investigators. If you want to make your own profile, click here. When your profile is complete, you can even choose to link it to your Facebook or Twitter account or your blog.
My Relief Society is also starting a 90-Day Book of Mormon reading challenge. If you'd like to download a chart and read along, click here.
School and work are good. Life is great. I'm really looking forward to the long weekend coming up!
You know how many times I have made a fool of myself at work because Suzy convinced me of something that in fact was nowhere near true? Yeah... and she wonders why I pretend to be mean to her... haha.
