English was canceled this morning, so i slept in until 9:30, and it was pretty great. I took a shower, and then studied until 1:30 for my jazz test. Then, i went to sociology (my absolute favorite class) and biology (not my favorite class). Then, Starla and I ate dinner at L&T, the salad and wrap shop at the Cougareat.. it was amazing. I had a BLT salad. it had lettuce, and cheese, and a LOT of bacon, and tomatoes, and ranch dressing, and cucumbers, and other stuff.. i dont' remember what all else was on there. but it was yummy. After dinner, i came home and worked on homework until 10:30, at which point i took a break, and ended up downstairs dancing with Eric, Kris, Heidi, Rachel, and Jessie. Funny story: Heidi and Eric were doing this dance move that requires grabbing the girls hands and flipping her over.. and they'd done it a few times, and wanted to get it to look better, so they tried again. well, halfway through the flip, you hear RIIIPPP!! Heidi had split her pants, and we were all cracking up. Eric almost dropped her on her head, she was laughing so hard, and Rachel was literally rolling on the ground. Fomrcilth! (which, FYI, means Freaking Out My Roommates Cause I'm Laughing Too Hard) So, as we were all laughing, we were walking up the steps from the basement, and as soon as we get up there, the first thing we notice is that the dorm lobby is silent. Then, we see the group of people kneeling on the floor, saying a prayer. looking more, we see paramedics standing at one of the dorm doors, and an ambulance outside. Since the prayer was just finishing, we started asking questions. Evidently, one of the girls (Krista) two dorms down from mine had a seizure in the middle of talking to her friend on the computer. It was so scary.. i went into her dorm, because i wanted to see if Starla was in there, because it was her dorm. all of krista's roommates were so shaken up, and so were a bunch of the other girls in the hall. we all love Krista-she's our choir leader, and she's a really fun girl. I stayed in her kitchen, because the paramedics were in the hallway of the dorm, and as soon as they took i went to find Starla, and let her know what was going on, because she didn't know. After finding her, and making sure she was okay, we rounded up a bunch of the people so that we could say another prayer. We ended up with a group of probably forty girls and guys outside, huddling (it's really cold). I, not thinking, ran outside in my shorts and t-shirt, barefoot.. well, one of the guys offered me his slippers. I tried to say no, but he wouldn't let me.. i love BYU guys. they are all really sweet. So, i used one slipper, and starla used the other, because she was cold and in shock, and we all had a prayer together. It was so strange, going from such a fun time to such a serious one. Evidently one of the guys in our ward, David somebody, was in the ER as well, because he had a mini heart attack. What a night! So, consequently, i got no more studying done, even though i was planning on it. It's okay, though.. Starla needed me a bit more than studying did. We all just hope and pray that both Krista and David are going to be okay.
So, Krista was really blessed. When she had this seizure, she was using her webcam to talk to her friend from back home. Krista had a seizure seven years ago, and that friend was with her for that one, too, and so she knew the signs. She was able to call Krista's roommate and give her some information about what was happening.. its a really good thing that she was on the computer with this friend. and that she was on her bed, where she couldn't help herself.
We are planning on getting a group together to see her if she is still in the hospital tomorrow.
So... day two.. i did get on facebook after 12, but that's because i clicked the wrong link.. i thought i had clicked on this, instead of facebook.. so i exited out as soon as i saw it. Other than that, though, i haven't been on it at the forbidden times. I'm going to do this! It helps so much.. i'm so much more productive. i always thought i studied alot before, but i realize that it was studying/talking, and i don't remember the stuff hardly at all.
