Good Times

Life is great.  I'm really having fun with my new roomates and friends at Glenwood.  We've started a tradition of inviting different girls over for Sunday dinner to get to know them.  Last week was Mexican week, and this week was French themed (well, it was soup themed, but we thought that was too boring.)  We keep being pleasantly surprised how amazing the food turns out each week (since these are things we've never made before), and also how fun the girls are (since we try to invite apartments that we don't really know).  Each week seems to get better.  And, I feel like I know half the ward already, so that's another bonus.

So, this week I've got a lot on my plate.  Well, that is except for a date.  I don't know what I'm doing for a date this week.   But other than that, I've got a ton of accounting studying to do, plus other stuff.  Really, compared to accounting, my other classes are a piece of cake.  Speaking of cake, there's not much I enjoy more than leaving my accounting class, where we talk about debits and credits and financial statements, and heading over to cooking, where we have serious discussions about making sure your meal has a variety of color, texture, and temperature.   For a college course, cooking feels like such a joke, but I love it.  I also have a speech to give this week for public speaking.  We are doing recitations this week - choosing a piece of prose, and reciting it using a variety of tone, volume, pitch, etc.                                             

I'm considering participating in a program called Conexiones - where you have a Latino family in the area, and you and a partner go and read with them each week to promote literacy.  I think it would be a fun way to learn Spanish since that's something I really want to do, but I don't know if I have the time for it.
