Me the missionary

Hola amigos. Today is a good day. It's Thursday, which means the end of my school week. And I found out today that I got a 91% on the Patho test I took on Tuesday. Score! It's raining out, which means it's not snowing. Bonus.

It's been a pretty interesting week at school. There has been a lot of conversation about BYU and Mormons and who we are and stuff like that. NOBODY here really knows what a Mormon is and what they believe. So I've been asked question after question about what we believe in and things we do and about temples and tithing and drinking and all sorts of stuff. My friend was even over on Tuesday to study and the missionaries stopped by and she was really curious about Mormons and the church and everything so she was asking them to explain. What I learned is, our missionaries SUCK, and it's going to be basically up to me to explain everything to people. I honestly have no faith in them to properly teach any of my friends. That's sad. But what I also learned is, I'm not very good at explaining the church! I never went on a mission, so I just don't have the experience that Derrick does in explaining, which he is really good at. I guess it's good practice for me tho. And it's good that no one has really heard of them, because I'll be their first impression, which is hopefully a good one. And then later on, when they encounter Mormons again they'll remember me and not think we're weirdos. We'll see if we can get any of them to come to church one week. Or at least read The Restoration Pamphlet. So if anyone has any good tips, let me know!

Last night I did something I rarely do. I voted on American Idol. A LOT. I voted for Elliot, who in my opinion has the best male voice in the competition. And I voted for Bucky. Not the best looking guy, but he's good, and I think they could spruce him up a bit. I know Chris will get through, so I didn't bother voting for him. It'll be hard to decide who will go home tonite, but my money is on Gideon and Will. Buh-bye. Oh, and I think Taylor looks like Bert from Sesame Street. And he sorta bugs me. That stupid leaning move. Ugh.

We watched this new show on FX last night called Black.White. It's really interesting. There's 2 families, one black and one white, and they put on makeup that makes them look like the other race. It's amazing. It's a 6 week experiment about how each family is affected by being the opposite race. Check it out.

Well, I should get going on some school related stuff before I head to clinicals.

Peace out girl scout! (Speaking of which, where ARE my cookies????)
