Agreed

quote of the day:
You really can't have a good storytime if there isn't any kissing.

Conference

We had a regional conference thingy today for church and it was awesome! First President Samuelson spoke, then Joseph B. Wirthlin, and then President Monson! It was broadcast from the Marriott center on campus, but the roomies and I went to the Fine Arts center to watch it from the De Jong concert hall.

I think this was the best conference I've ever been to. President Monson gave a totally phenomenal talk. It was interesting and funny and incredibly spiritual. He was so much more animated than he is in General Conference. He talked about lots of things, but mostly about making a blueprint for our lives, by having a house of learning, house of glory, house of order, etc. This was one of those talks that makes you want to go out and take action afterwards, those talks that get you really excited about the gospel. It was amazing! So, hopefully this week will be great, and I'll do good stuff.

School

First day back in school. Well, it didn't really feel very schoolish, cause I only have one class on Tuesdays. I went to work at 9, ate lunch a little after 11, hung around campus, went to my interior design class, which looks like fun, bought the book for interior design (along with the packet for the class, a binder, and some notebook paper), then came home. Our apartment manager called to tell us that the 4th girl should be moving in today at 5:30. That's in a hour, roughly. I hope she's nice.

Oooo, and I get to be a kind of mentor to Parker, the Italian poetry-reading guy, because all the new people at work get a mentor. Points for my boss for assigning me to him!

Holiday

I woke up at 7:45 in the morning today. How awful is that? Today is the last day before school starts and I don't even get to sleep in. Anyway, the reason I woke up so early is so I could go to Walmart with the Roberts. I bought some stuff, including pillows. Ah, there's nothing like new fluffy pillows.

When I got home I got started on cleaning up my room. I did some laundry, put all my clothes away, and did a little bit of organizing. I still have some more to do, but my room looks much better now.

Jamie's friend, Merrill, invited us to go boating on Deer Creek Lake on his friend's boat. That was way fun, speeding around the lake, the wind rushing through my hair. It felt great and the mountains were gorgeous!

I think I spent my Labor Day pretty well, all things considered. And I still get to look forward to going to IHOP tonight!

Antitheses

Nice thing that happened today:

Parker, a new guy at work, read me Italian poetry while we did book processing. There's nothing like having a cute guy speak Italian to you!

Creepy thing that happened today:

On the way home from work, this weird Latino guy pulls up in a car and I swear, starts hitting on me. It was creepy. Really, really creepy. So much so that when I got home I locked the door, with both the handle and the deadbolt.
