Typical


So Last Week, March 3rd, I started a GRE prep Course. We took a diagnostic test to see kind of in what areas we were strong, and where we need to work. 2 full hours of testing. It was brutal and needless to say I felt quite humbled when I got my waited scores back. I got 520/800 on the math sections (40 percentile-pitiful) and 560/800 (74 percentile). So there's lots of room for improvement. As I like to. I can't really do any worse, there's no place to go but up =-)

Then Thursday I got to do Goldman Fristo Test of Articulation on Isabel for a project. Just my luck. It was so nice and sunny that day. I wore a t-shirt. When I walked over to the clinic to pick up the test it started getting breezy and a little colder. So, on my way to class I stopped by my apartment and got a sweater. As I walked home from class with Maddie, my partner for the project, it was snowing. Full on snowing. So we had to drive to my parents house and meet Lindsay and the kids to do the test. Isabel was really adorable and actually surprisingly cooperative. There's a part of the oral motor exam where we have to have the kids say puh puh puh as fast as they can 20 times. Then the same thing for tuh and kuh. Then we have them say them together 20 times, either puh tuh kuh or buttercup. Isabel didn't want to do it at first. She kind of looked at us like we were a bit crazy. She told us she didn't want to do that and that she was too little. She was great for the rest of the test though. She was a trooper.

Friday, We had a girls night. My friends Justine and kaisha and I went to dinner and then we met up with some other friend from the ward to see Leap Year. I like Amy Adams. The movie was cutesy. It was fun but nothing really special. I actually found it very predictable. I just kept thinking throughout the movie that the shoes Amy Adams was wearing were really cute but they looked really uncomfortable, especially for all the walking and hiking that was going on during the movie.

Saturday I worked til 1. Then, I wanted to meet up with my cousins and hang out. My cousin is getting married and wanted me to meet her at Davids Bridal so she could try on a dress. I got there first and I didn't want to go wait inside. That would just be slightly awkward. So I sat down on a bench outside and got my book out to read. I'm reading The Lovely Bones. Now, this homeless guy who had been standing on the corner of the sidewalk facing the street with a "Please Help Me" sign came over and asked if he could sit by me. I said sure. Right as he was sitting down my cousins entered the parking lot and drove past and were laughing at what was happening. So the homeless guy looks over at me and asks "Are you reading the Bible?" I looked down at my book and back at him. I was thinking in my head "Does this look like a Bible, this story is probably the furthest you could get from the good messages found in the Bible". But I looked at him and with a slight smile said, "I'm not reading it right now". He just looked at me and said "Sorry. I'm really tired. Its really hard work out here." With that I promptly put my attention back to my book and waited for my cousins to find a parking spot.
That Night we also had some friends over to watch Taken. Such a good movie!!!!
