Compared to last week this week has been pretty great, which is ironic because I had all my tests. Many good things have happened this week amid the stress though. First, I lived through my tests. Second, I got one of my tests back to find I got an A on it. Boo-yeah. Third, it was a gorgeous day today.
After morning classes (which were shortened) I headed over to Kensington Gardens with my religion book and enjoyed the cool brisk air. About two minutes after I sat down on my comfortable bench a dog came out of nowhere and jumped up beside me. Those who know me know I'm not the best person with dogs, in fact I don't do well around most every dog, especially when it comes in physical contact with me. Anyway I'm sitting on a bench, right? So I can only move so far back before the dog hops on my lap and licks my mouth. LICKS my mouth. YUCK!!!! I hate even touching dogs and this one was giving me a full on slobbery saliva-y smooch. Remember I am on a bench and have limited mobility, so thank goodness my mouth was closed. After the owner sauntered over and mumbled "get down" to his dog and semi-nodded at me, I promptly got my hand sanitizer out and profusely wiped my mouth. I guess that stuff isn't toxic on your mouth because I'm still alive to tell this tale.
Following that episode I was able to sit back and enjoy the day. I read about Victoria and Kensington Palace while sitting in front of Kensington Palace, which was pretty awesome being right outside the gate of Kensington Palace. I was sitting by the pond and it got windy just in time to head home for religion class. In class we are talking about the original Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and the missionaries that first came to Great Britain. Thanks to the Church history class I took last semester and my parents, I was able to contribute a lot in class today, especially because we talked a ton about Orson Hyde. Talking about Orson Hyde and soaking in some sun made me miss this:
Right now I'm lovin' being home at the center. Exactly one half of the students are gone traveling this weekend. I'm so glad I'm not traveling, it's way too stressful. So instead of spending money on traveling I spent a few pounds tonight at Primark. I bought a cute blue scarf for 3 pounds and a bright yellow tee-shirt for 1 pound. It's definitely a shirt to sleep in because it's not super fashionable and it's a mens XXL. Although, we might have to break them out in March because apparently a couple of the boys are planning on doing Mustache March. Courtney and I can represent the girls by sporting these around. We can just call it Mustache Mullet March, right?
I saw this on FB and was wondering what is was. Mustache Mullet is right.
ReplyDeleteSo did I ever tell you about my dog experience on my mission? There are tons of dogs in the streets, and usually they tell you the best thing to do is to stand completely still and let them sniff you because once they see you aren't scared, they won't bite you. Well, a HUGE dog came running toward me. I was nervous but I just stood there and let it sniff me. It was circling around me, just sniffing away when all the sudden I heard my companion yell "Watch out!" I looked up to see it there, hind leg raised... and well... let's just say I wasn't quick enough. Probably the grossest thing I've ever experienced. I stunk really bad and my companion kept stopping to talk to people while I just stood there holding my skirt trying to maintain my distance so they couldn't smell me. So gross! Sorry to anyone who didn't really want to hear that... :) So, moral of the story: I feel your pain! Glad you did well on your tests!
