So, thursday I studied all day for my biology test, and i ended up with a 78, which makes me happy, compared to the 66 i got on the last one. plus, you can take the test twice, and if you get above a 75 on the first one, he'll take the higher of the two tests, which makes me insanely happy.. i'm hoping i can raise my grade quite a bit.
After studying for three hours and then taking the test, i got home at about 8:30, and then went to Steven's mission call.. he's going to Sweden!!! So far we've got Nathan in Cambodia, Nate in France, Eric in Texas, Kirk in Ohio, Steven in Sweden, Jacob in Tailand, and more.. that's only my friends, not all the guys.. our ward has about three mission calls a week that are being opened now. Then, Brindy (Starla's little sister) came over to spend the night, and our 'group' had our Thursday-night Temple Devotional. This is one of my favorite parts of the week.. we all get together and spend about an hour reading scriptures and conference talks and singing hymns to prepare to go to the temple the next morning.
Thursday night, i got about two hours of sleep..and got up at 4:45 to go to the temple. This week, Brindy drove us (it figures the only one with a car is 16, and doesn't live close enough to take us everywhere..), which was great. We were back home by 7 and i attempted to do my math homework, but i fell asleep. i slept until 9:40, went to class, came back, and slept from 12-3. now, the fun starts. Heidi borrowed a van from her aunt, and we took 15 of us (starla, ashley, rachel, me, carly, heidi, steven, steven, katie, jill, brian, peter, autsin brindy, and brenna) to Heidi's house.. they fed us dinner, we played missionary tag and jumped on the trampoline and swung on the swingset, and then we went to her high school to see "Into the Woods". The play was .... interesting. That's about all i can say to describe it. The production was pretty good, though. Then, we went back to Heidi's house to play with her family, and drove back home. It was pretty fun, but resulted in not much sleep... Everyone congregrated outside after we went home, and so i didn't get to bed until after two.. and not asleep untili 3:30. whoops :) but then, i slept until 12:30 (i desperately needed it), so all was well

and i understand that this probably boring - this has become my journal, more than anything. and i'm too tired to write interestingly... it's been a long and stressful week.
