Praise Heaven Above for Long Weekends

I am all for 3 day weekends every weekend. For Real. It isn't like we every really get a "day of rest" anyway. I am not too good at this college thing any more. Getting dressed up for the first day of school isn't as exciting as it used to be. I am not even sure I showered that day. Walking around all three floors of the library to find long lost friends doesn't make me feel as cool as it once did. I guess once you have crossed off the pyramids, Dome of the Rock, and Petra off of your "Things I haven't seen yet" list, the David O. McKay library can't give the kicks and giggles it once did. I am sure I will still act as immature as I ever did. You know... find the athletic books from the 70's, mark the page with a man wearing the shortest shorts, and slip it in a friends backpack. There is one thing that never gets old. Prank Calling. For our first ward FHE, all the girls went around to all of the boys apartments and got treats and got to know eachother. One of the apartments is full of brand new RM's. They gave us a little sheet a paper entitled "The Menu". No joke. It had their pictures, phone numbers, relationship status, ect. Oh that is just asking to be prank called. I let it sit on out kitchen table a couple of days until I couldn't stand it any more. So much fun.
Now about the long weekend. Nathan came up to visit me. It was so good to have him around here in Rexburg and throw him in with my friends. He is just so easy to be around I can't see how he wouldn't get along with every one. He lets me be the goof ball I am and even lets me try and embarass him...I don't think I have succeeded yet. He ended up locking his keys in his car and having to stay an extra day until we could get them out. He was a good sport and wandered around campus while I went to my classes. Luckily he only has one class on Tuesday and it was his New Testament class (and us Jerusalem kids like think we know it all when it comes to the Bible).
Well, the school week is back in swing and I am hating every minut of it. Just kidding. Just thinking about all the things I have to get done on top of school work stresses me out. I have to prepare for my Praxis exams (in order to be a liscensed teacher) and take them, put my portfolio together to present to the faculty board in order to graduate, get student teaching all lines up, and figure out what the heck I want to be when I grow up. As of right now, I am thinking about being a developmental specialist. I would work with infants and toddler in their home. I would be the lady that came over like the lady who did when Jamison was a baby. I get to so spend a whole day with a lady tomorrow, shadowing her, so we will see what I think after that. If any of you have any suggestions on what to do with my life, let me know. You guess is as good as mine
