I am doing so much better. I've still got a cough, but I don't expect that to go away for a long time. Still don't have the mission call yet. Crossing my fingers that next week will be the lucky week. At this point, I've kind of lost my excitement over the mission call to be honest. After waiting so long, I'm no longer thrilled. Just like, whatever, it'll come eventually. I've got this feeling like it's just never going to come. Like I'll just keep being told, not this week, next week. But not next week, the week after. And not the week after, but maybe three months from now. My Dad told me "don't worry, it'll come. It's like Christmas. You think it will never come, but then it does." Yeah, but Christmas has a deadline. You can't keep pushing Christmas back. Whereas my mission call is 3 weeks late and still not here.
On the bright side, the snow is melting! We are finally in the 30s and it is beautiful! Blue skies! I am SO glad for the warm weather, and the fact that I am feeling a lot better, and I got two letters in the mail today. I just took a test for Human Development, and had the odd experience of my score failing to show up on the screen, and questioning my sanity, wondering whether I had either forgotten my ID number, or somehow it showed up but I missed it. I seriously stood there for a long time wondering whether I had memory problems or vision problems. I finally went back up to ask why my score never showed up, and after a couple minutes of searching, they finally found my test and realized that it hadn't been scanned. Good thing I went back and checked or I might not have gotten a score for that test!
I am entering the midst of midterms, yet I'm really not freaking out about it like I usually do. I'm just taking them one at a time. Oh, and speaking of my Human Development class, it is absolutely fascinating! I cannot stress how awesome I think it is. I like to call my mom and tell her pretty much the entire lecture (even though the majority is stuff she already knows being a nurse) because I can't get over how cool it is. Like babies are built in with the ability to walk - walking is a reflex! I did not know that! What babies have to learn is how to balance their weight, that's why walking is difficult. And when babies are born, they can't see very well, only like 8-10 inches away from their face, which coincidentally is about the distance from your face to your arms if you are holding the baby. That's so cool! Haha I seriously could talk all day about human development. I kind of wish I could switch my emphasis to Human Development, but we were told in our Intro to SFL class that there's not much you can do with Human Development other than become a professor, which I don't want to do, so I'm probably just going to stick with Family Studies.
So yesterday, I was having intense sugar cravings. Like really really strong. Nothing sounded even remotely good, but bread and sugar. Finally, I gave in to my cravings and made sugar cookie dough. And ate it. Not all of it, but a good portion. Yes, I made sugar cookie dough just to eat it. I had no intentions of cooking that dough. I am so unhealthy. A little while later, I decided to weigh myself, since eating that much cookie dough is so unhealthy. Just to make sure the scale was accurate, I used three different scales. And they all told me the same thing. In two weeks, I have lost roughly 6 pounds. And no, I have not been trying. Well that explains the sugar cravings! I don't feel so bad about eating all that cookie dough now.
Well, today's my sister Allison's birthday, so I am going to get off so I can call her and wish her a happy birthday. Then I am going to go watch a mission call opening for one of my good friends Amber. Ta ta!
