SO GOOD MORNING AUGUST AND GOODBYE JULY!

Summer in Provo!

I'm so bad at updating my blog.

I mean I've always been bad, but summer is clearly not the high point of my blogging career.

So I'm gonna try to update without being WAY too boring.

During the spring term I took Chinese 102!

It took a lot of hard work, but I loved every second of it!

I also continued working at the Testing Center.

AND I BROKE 10,000 TESTS!

I also went to California for the first time ever.

IT WAS AMAZING!!

At the beginning of spring term, I was called in church to be the Relief Society Secretary.

That calling has been amazing to have so far.

I became so close to my ward in the spring that I just didn't want to leave.

I decided to stay in Provo for the rest of the summer.

[much to my mother's disappointment.]

During spring term, I also made a pretty big decision.

I decided that I want to go on a mission for the church.

I can't go for awhile since I'm only 19, but I'm so excited to and I feel really good about my decision!

A couple days ago I got "Preach My Gospel" so I'm beginning my studying and preparation for my mission:)

After Spring term ended, I went home to Virginia to visit for a couple weeks.

While I was there I spent time in DC with my siblings and watched "The Middle" with my mom as well as went shopping and had other forms of major girl bonding time. My family went into DC for the fireworks over the 4th of July.

IT WAS FANTASTIC!

On the fifth I headed back to Provo and everyday life.

I got back to working at the testing center, writing my play, and hanging out with my roommates (who I missed so much when I was gone).

I also searched for another job.

AND I FOUND ONE!

I am currently training to be the assistant manager of Canyon Terrace Apartments.

WEIRD, HUH?

I love it so far.

The great part is that I don't work a ton so during fall semester I can work there and still be at the testing center a couple hours a week.

Next big change?

I'm changing my major!

FOR THE THOUSANDTH YET LAST TIME!

Tomorrow I'm going to the office to apply.

I'm going to study Elementary Education and I couldn't be happier!

I know I say this every time I change my major, but this is definitely the last time:)

That's pretty much everything that is happening.

My parents are coming in town on Friday for my cousins' weddings. I can't wait to see them.

Oh and I'm moving in exactly three weeks.

SO WEIRD!

I'm excited to get a new apartment, but I'll definitely miss what I have now.

I have a good life:)

And that is all that matters.

Embarrassment.

When I'm asleep, dreams have a crazy affect on my body.

That sounds weird, so let me explain!

If I get hurt in a dream, I feel it bigtime and usually I wake up having shed a few tears.

If something in a dream makes me happy, I wake up smiling.

If I get in an argument with someone in my dream, I'm extra irritable with them all day.

So it makes sense that if I get embarrassed in a dream then my palms will sweat and my face will feel hot.

So here's what happened.

I was taking a public speaking/tap class at BYU.

[I should have known this couldn't be real. The first hour you tap, the second hour you speak... weird.]

We had competitions too.

At one of our competitions, one of our competitors gave their speeches while tapping.

It was amazing, so obviously our tapspeech team would have some practicing to do.

On our first day back from our competition, we showed up to class ready to work.

I was wearing velvet black stretchy pants and a greenish yellow thick turtle neck.

When I heard that we were going to tap and speak at the same time, I was so ready.

I was definitely the best tapper in the class and by far the best speaker as well.

There were a few people in my class that I recognized [Nikki Mendenhall, Camille Lucero, and Reesa Tirrell], but I didn't recognize anyone else. However, I did know them.

And actually Camille's name wasn't Camille in my dream... It was Sandra. Sandra Bullock.

Weird, huh!

Our teacher collected our cell phones at the beginning of class to avoid distraction, then we were given a topic in our groups of four and we were assigned to.

Camille/Sandra, Nikki, Reesa, and myself were assigned to speak on a special car.

The speech was only supposed to be a few lines, and we had to make up a few simple tap steps to go along with our speech.

We wrote this simple speech.

"Sandra Bullock's car is the most beautiful of all the cars. We all love it very much. It has five seats and we like to drive it everywhere."

We decided that since I was the best speaker, I would have a few extra lines to say after we finished saying this.

I don't remember what those lines were.

We also decided that we needed to be better than the rest of our class, so not only were we going to sing our speech in three part harmony, but we were also going to say it in Spanish.

[Author's note: I don't speak any Spanish at all, but subconsciously I did translate this speech into Spanish, except I didn't understand what I was saying... And I don't think the translation was correct.]

We practiced for maybe thirty seconds before our teacher came around to see how our work was going and let us know that we would perform first in the class. We asked if we could practice it for her and she said yes. We began to sing our speech. Everyone in the class went silent and watched us. We hadn't written the tap yet, so we were just sitting in chairs. I was hardly singing at all because I couldn't remember the Spanish. Every time I would open my mouth, I would start singing Chinese. People kept giving me weird looks. It was literally the longest 30 seconds of my life. Well then it came time for my solo. I just stared blankly, while my face turned red. I looked at Nikki for a hint. She just smiled. Then I said "line." She gave me the first word only. That didn't spark my memory. I asked her to just tell me what to say. She said this was something I needed to do on my own. I felt so abandoned, and everyone was still staring. I started to cry, but really I had no idea why I was crying, because this really wasn't that bad. Except in dream world, it really was that bad. I was so hot and sweaty from embarrassment, and on top of that I finally realized that the turtle neck wasn't the best thing to be wearing at the moment. It made me even hotter and a bit claustrophobic. I jumped out of my chair and ran away from embarrassment.

That's when I woke up.

I know this seems silly,

but I was REALLY embarrassed.

I still can't remember my line.

Good thing it was just a dream:)
