Good day. A little hectic, but so good. I have to get up early so I will just give you some of the highlights that I remember at the moment.
1. Fallen leaves + rain = THE greatest smell ever! I love being outside right now.
2. I didn't have Art History today.
3. My Family Process professor lost his voice so he whispered into a microphone today. He made a joke about him talking like Batman, and we all just cracked up because that's totally who he sounded like! It was hard for me to take him seriously for the rest of the class.
4. Speaking of Batman: today was Superhero day for Homecoming Week. I wore my Batman shirt that I got Senior year from the little boys' section of Walmart. Love it.
5. Imari and I made plans to play tennis with Elder and Sister Crowther (our institute teachers and the greatest people I have ever met) So excited!
6. Best part of the day: I had an Activities Committee meeting tonight. After the meeting I had to head over to the SAC because I was in charge of the movie for tonight (this mostly means shutting everyone up so we can pray, turning off the lights, clicking play, and popping popcorn....nothing serious). Branden was walking over to the SAC with me because we were using his laptop for the movie. (Branden is the VP of Campus Programming...aka kid in charge of Activities Committee) He's a fun kid but we don't really have a super tight relationship. He tells me what to do, I ask him questions if I have any, and then I do it. That's the extent of our communication with each other. As we were walking to the SAC tonight, he started telling me how much he appreciated everything that I do. He said he had just been thinking about it and he loves that I never complain and I always do what I say I will, and he doesn't feel like he needs to check up on me to see if I'm doing my jobs. It wasn't anything major, but shoot that was nice to hear. That is always my goal with these things. I don't want to be "that" girl who is always missing meetings, or complaining, or making excuses for why she didn't accomplish her jobs. Those people irritate me and my goal is to never be one of them. It was nice to hear that I am accomplishing that goal and that it is recognized and appreciated. I told him that this is what I love and that I know how hard it is working with people who are less than enthusiastic and unreliable (high school student council was a frustrating time in my life). Branden and I didn't know each other at all before this year, but I feel like I have proven myself to him now and I am starting to be trusted with bigger responsibilities. I love that.
