Day 594: Isn't it a wonder

Sunday was a good day. I got to sleep in, but I made it to church on time. I am speaking for ward conference on Sunday, which I'm not so jazzed about, but I'm sure once I buckle down and write my talk it'll be all good. My lesson went well - it was, oddly enough, one I was excited to teach. After church I hung out with the sister missionaries, answering questions for a boy who's writing a paper for his world religion class. He asked one of the hardest questions, and we tried to answer it, but in the end we just sort of left it. Of course, once we were gone, I had a good answer. It's not that He knows what we'll do, it's that we'll learn. Just because He knows what we'll learn doesn't mean we still shouldn't learn it. Anyway...I came home and talked to my mom. And then, the coolest thing ever, I talked to my Dad! Over my computer (with the shiny built-in microphone) while he was in China. In his office with people beating down his door. I forget that he's not just my dad, that he's actually a fairly important person who must oversee many minions. But they're cooler than minions, really. I also talked to Justin. It was good times.

I went to bed early so I could get up early this morning. Did I get up early? Not really. I slept in till seven but made it to the hospital in good time anyway. I went to get my insurance straightened out and made it to the doctor's office early, so they saw me early, so I got out early, but I still got a lame parking spot in the law school garage. At least I wasn't banished to the top. Today it was grey and drizzly and generally unpleasant. But it was a happy St. Patrick's day anyway. I managed to get homework done and survived through classes. I attempted to pay attention in Property and only discovered what cool things I can do in Japanese with my keyboard. After school I attempted to do homework but instead sat around with Matt, Jason, and Brian talking about life, the universe, and everything, or rather politics, the economy, and how aliens brought technology to the Egyptians, and whether or not there is a God. We solved all the world's problems. It was great. And I still got homework done. I came home and got real mail, which made me happy. It was a funny thing from mom about how the English have revoked American independence. (I know, not so funny to those who don't have redcoats in the family).

I took off to FHE. It was goofy fun. Dustin bought us green hats for the occasion. We had a lesson, ate awesome cookies. We played leap-frog and this weird game that involved all the girls sitting on chairs in a circle and boys standing behind us. There was one empty chair with a boy standing behind it. If he winked at a girl, she had to make a dash for the empty chair and the boy standing behind her had to stop her. If he did - which wasn't easy, because he had to keep his head down and not look at the one winking - then he got so sit and she had to stand and prevent him from running away. Apparently the end goal was to get all the boys on the chairs, but we gave up before then.

Then Scott, James, and I came to play Guitar Hero. James was awesome - he can play on expert. We only played a little bit, and now it's just me here.

Also, I totally won by eBay nonsense bid thing to get a copy of Truly, Madly, Deeply for less than forty bucks. It made me waaaay too happy. I'm a sad loser that way.

And I ought to stop spending money altogether.

I managed to write my closing argument, and Adam was awesome about giving me a critique. Now I just have to learn the thing. The more I think about it, the more I'm scared, but that's life, ne?

I'll sort things out tomorrow night. I have more of a free night, I think.

Also read a good story, which makes me happy.
