My Dorm Smells Like Butter

My roommate is making Greek cookies and they require two pounds of butter. Needless to say, our dorm smells a lot like butter.

Well last week was fantastic! My mom came on Monday and she spent the whole week with me. We did a lot of shopping and eating and we visited my cousin's house and I got ballroom dance shoes for my birthday present. Then Friday the rest of my family came up and we spent the weekend together. Again we did a lot of eating, and we went bowling and I got my very first ever strike -extremely shocking- and we saw Divine Comedy and ate a five-minute Easter Dinner Saturday night and then saw the Ballroom Dance Concert- which was so amazing! Sunday morning, I got up to watch the sunrise with the girls in my ward and then I went back to bed until my family came and they made me Crepes for my birthday. They went to Sacrament Meeting with me, but they had to leave right after that. I loved having them there for my birthday.

My roommates continued to make my birthday special by singing to me pretty much every time I walked in the dorm and they made me a cake, even though I had already made cupcakes, and yesterday they made me brownies also in celebration of my birthday. We have so much junk food now. We have like four cartons of ice cream, cake, brownies, cookies, and cupcakes. And my roommates are making more cookies and two more cakes tonight. Oh dear...

But my birthday was so great. I have never had this many people tell me Happy Birthday before. For the past couple of years, people always forget it's my birthday despite the fact that I start talking about it a month in advance and keep talking about it until the day before. But this year pretty much everyone I saw wished me a happy birthday. I felt so loved! It was one of the best birthdays I've ever had. And it was on Easter!

Well today was pretty much my last day of classes. The only class I have tomorrow is Dance and we are having a party, so I'm pretty much all done. Then I just got to worry about Finals. I'm going to do what I did last time again and not eat ice cream or get on facebook while Finals are going on. I've also got to worry about getting all of my things packed up for Spring term. Everything has to be moved out of my dorm by 10am Saturday morning next week, but I can't move it into my new dorm until the afternoon. But they are letting us put our things in the central building during the time in between. Well that's just great. For those of you who don't know, the central building is kind of far to be carrying that much stuff. I'm probably going to be making a bazillion trips back and forth. And all of my roommates leave that Thursday, so I'm also going to be alone for two days until I move into my new dorm. : (

I'm excited for a new semester, for the change and all, but I am seriously going to miss my roommates and my ward. This semester has been so much fun, way more fun than last semester. I have really been blessed. Thank you to everyone who has made this year so great. Good luck with finals!
