We carved pumpkins (our first Halloween as a married couple) and Erin joined us. However, we probably won't be doing anything exciting for the ol' HALLOWEEN. But at least we look festive. :)Hawks: So we were undefeated until we played a very poor-sported team. They were trash-talking, staging fouls against us...the ref was making horrible calls...they had ridiculous, uncalled-for pk's. Our team fell apart that day and we started blaming each other and not playing our positions or our game. BUT the finals are this weekend and we are still ranked #1 and we are going to kick butt!
**Lane and I have been discussing the future a lot lately. We're thinking of going to teach English in Thailand or some other country when I get my associate's (which I should get after summer semester and maybe a few more classes). And then Lane's thinking of teaching high school, so we might just turn everything around. We don't know exactly what we're going to do but that's just our thoughts.
STORY TIME!: So the other day I was walking to a building, and I saw President Clark walking from the opposite direction. (For those of you who don't know, he's the President of our school--obviously--and he directs all the devotionals and he's pretty famous in the Rexburg world). I was a ways ahead of him so I didn't think much of it (wasn't even close enough to hold the door open for him). So I went in the building over to a food cart and grabbed a drink and turned around to the line to pay and there's Pres. Clark, standing there looking at me. So I'm like "Hi" and he asked my name, I told him "Jannica" (no last name) and he asks where I'm from and how things are...and then ends the convo and walks away. I was thinking it was kind of weird that he went out of his way to meet me. I was very awkward in talking to him as well because #1 that's just how I am and #2 He caught me off-guard, I mean it's not every day that the president of a university goes out of his way to talk to you.
THEN I get home a few hours later and I have an email from his assistant, asking me to call her because she wants to meet with me. So I start freaking out. What the heck did I do? Nothing, I was just buying a drink. So I call and she asks me to meet the next day when I'm done with classes, and informs me that I'm not in trouble, she just needed to "chat". So I'm freaking out all night and all the next day...12:30 rolls around and I go in. She said that President Clark had felt that I seem like I have some heavy burdens in my life right now and that I might need to talk. I try to think of everything that's going on in my life and reply "Honestly, I can't think of anything that would be burdening me. I have a couple hard classes but it's not like they are kicking my butt or killin me" So she asks if there's any financial issues, or emotional...still can't think of anything. We chat a little more. I feel awkward. We end the discussion with her saying if I ever need financial help, or emotional that I need to go to them. UMMMMMMMM.............WHAT??! Really, I'm fine. I'm sorry that I don't walk around campus with my head held high, smiling and singing like a lot of other BYU-I students. I'm kind of in my own world when I walk around. Apparently I need help tho. SOOOOOOOO....Make sure you walk with your head held high and smile/sing/skip/whistle! Otherwise you are heavy-burdened. THE END.
