Doughnut Day

There were doughnuts all over the school today. Well, not like in an all-over-the-floor kind of way, just that there were a LOT of them. The Burrs brought boxes and boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts to school this morning, and so magically, almost everyone I saw around campus was carrying a box of them! I would say there was probably a ton of them, but since Krispy Kremes are about 91% air, that wouldn't be quite accurate. Karly Q said she had eaten three before fourth period, but somehow the doughnut fairy passed over me, because I had gotten none! Oh well, it wasn't that sad. They were just Krispy Kremes. I can get air anywhere.

Fourth period, though, we won the scripture mastery challenge thingy, so as a reward, we got...wait for it...DOUGHNUTS! :D Haha except these ones were the good kind. I forget where they were from, probably a real bakery. But anyway, the point is that these ones had substance in them, and it was more than just glazed ones: there were twists, bars, sprinkled, frosted...Yay for variety! Wow, can you tell I'm hungry? I'm writing about FOOD. :P

We got an assignment last time in seminary. We all wrote a real-life problem anonymously that either we or people we knew were dealing with on a little piece of paper, and then we put them all in a jar. After, everyone came and got someone else's problem, and the assignment was to go home and try to answer their question/problem the best we could. When I opened up the little piece of paper I'd taken and read it for the first time, I was more or less at a loss for how to answer it. At the same time, though, I felt an immediate outpouring of love and sympathy toward the person, even though I had no idea who it was, and I still don't. Using the scriptures to solve a real-life problem added a whole new level to my scripture study, and it felt good to try and help someone else. :)

We did lifts today in ballroom, since it's a Friday. Lifts are not my favoritest thing because I'm terribly self-conscious, but I actually had a little bit of fun with them today. Shane was my lift partner, and I was pretty sure he wouldn't drop me, and of course he didn't. I don't know the names of any of the lifts (except for one of them was called a prayer lift or something like that... that's the only one I remember), so I can't say which ones we did, probably just the easiest few. The real downside to doing lifts today is that since we still have one or two steps to learn, we have to do yet ANOTHER day of foxtrot, and we don't get to test until AFTER FALL BREAK. Ugh :P I want to be DONE with this dance! I mean, I like the music for it, but the actual dance...not so much. Let's move on already, please??

Which for some strange reason reminds me: is anyone else freezing today?! Yay for hoodies.
