Today started out groggily, but I think I'm getting more used to 7 hours of sleep. I still need to get to bed earlier, doggone it! Anyways, I went to seminary this morning, and, just like every other day, Sis. Brinkerhoff used pictures and other memorizing tools to teach all of the students the scripture mastery. Today was picture day, the day in which we took class pictures which would hang on display in the Stake Center all year long. I still remember the ridiculous grin, messy hairdo, and awkward position that I had in the picture from last year. I did not want to get it wrong this time. So we took a few pictures and I gave myself a mental note to NOT grin as huge as I could. It's a habit I need to break.
When we got done with the pictures (after doing some goofy ones too, of course), we went back to the classroom and played a game. There were chairs set up in a 4x4 square, and there were three teams. The teacher was to call out a scripture reference, and the students would find the scripture as fast as they could. Once they found the scripture, they could go sit on one of the chairs on the grid. If 3 team members were in a row, they'd get a point and then we'd repeat with a new scripture reference. It's like tic tac toe, only cooler. It was the most fun game I remember playing for seminary. You can change your seat to get in the way of others and to align with your team members. I remember the game getting pretty lively. Savanna, a usually quiet girl in class who was on my team, was screaming and pushing other people out of the way to stop them from getting three in a row as I frantically looked for the verse as Miranda yelled the reference: "D&C 25!!!" It was so awesome and surprising to see all of my classmates act that way. And at that time in the morning! The team named Noah's Ark (led my one of the coolest guys in the stake, Noah Smith) won, but the Padawans (our team name, which we changed later to the Platypus Padawans) got second. :) It was a great morning.
Sis. Burg gave me a small container that had four doughnuts in them. She said to share them with my family. I thought "cool!", but then I imagined myself running home with the box of doughnuts in hand which I did. Sis. Brinkerhoff dropped me off at my usual spot, and I had fun yelling at cars passing by, "HEY, WANT A DOUGNUT??" While waving the box at them as I ran. It was fun. I stopped at the Stewart's house, a family in our ward, just to use their bathroom, and thought, "Well, might as well give them these doughnuts for almost destroying their bathroom (good thing they had a plunger handy)."
And so I ran home doughnut-less.
Today's schoolwork wasn't as fulfilling as I had wished. I spent most all of it working on two essays, one of which I got nowhere on. Ah well. :) It'll get done.
For tonight's movie night, one of the movies we saw was Toy Story 2. Toy Story is my most favorite movie trilogy. I just love it!
