An Adventure...

Man, something's just awesome about Fridays when it comes to seminary. I had a crazy time yesterday...

So we played this random object scripture chase which was awesome. Everyone was runnig around and trying to grab random objects and stuff from around the room. So, like, Sis. Brinkerhoff whould do one of two things every round: She would either show an object from a bag that represented one of the scripture mastery verses that we'd have to get or she would call out an object that we would have to put on the table. It sounds kind of dull the way I write it, but it was really quite an exciting game.

Brinkerhoff: "The next object is... a red pencil."
(There's a bunch of pencils in a box on the table)

*Miranda, Jared and I dash to the container, shoving and grabbing for the pencil*

Jared: "Got it!!"

It was that sort of thing. She'd say stuff like, "A dollar", or "Some kind of jewelry". The scripture chase part of it was fun too. Something that I found kind of funny was how Savanna was so quiet whenever she got the verse before anyone else. Hm, how to describe it... Okay, so, it was like the teacher would show something representing the verse, and the mouse in the corner would flip to the verse in his scriptures before anyone else and yell, "I've got it!" That's the best way to describe it.

After the game we ate some homemade bread and jam. Something was mildew-y about the strawberry jam. I swear that it tasted just like my grandpa's workshop. I ate it anyway; it was nostalgic jam and reminded me of grandpa. But the other jam tasted just fine.

That day I realized that all of the other seminary kids would walk to the GP High School after seminary. It was the one in town, and it was close by. After internalizing this fact I thought, "Hey, it would sure be fun to follow Jared around campus... Mwahaha. I'll show those district leaders that they can't keep ME off of that school!"

And so I caught up to the rest of the group, and they told me about a security guard that would probably kill me if he saw me on campus. I never even saw him, and I WALKED RIGHT THROUGH THE SCHOOL. It was so fun. I was thinking, pretty much singing in my head, "Mwahahaha, I'm not even a student here... Look at all of the people! This is so cool!" I was just throwing "yo"s, "hello"s, and "'sup"s to anyone who would dare look my way. It was fun. Most of them just thought I was strange and paid no attention.

By the time Jared got to the library to work on an assignment, I decided that it was time for me to get out of there before something bad happened. I simply walked to the other side of the big school and walked into the downtown area. I told Sis. Brinkerhoff to catch me is she saw me running home, but she didn't see me. I jogged all the way from the Savage Street building to my house yesterday. Sure, it took more time out of my day, but I feel that experiencing the public school experience just for a few minutes was worth it.

Worked on a portfolio assignment for almost the whole school day. I am appalled that it took me so long to finally polish that one assignment. Ah well, ya do what ya do.
