A Week in Review (The Highlights at least!)

Monday- Worked 10 hours. Hung out with my roommates.
Tuesday- Worked 10 hours. Visited Jena at the Villa.
Wednesday- Worked 4 hours. Picked up my cousin Melanie from the airport. Car wouldn't start again. A nice airport employee jumped my car. I drove up to my aunt and uncle's house in Bountiful. My uncle fixed my car and my cousins were entertained by my "crazy" grandma (on my dad's side-not their grandma).
Thursday- Worked 10 hours. We had scary stories at the Provo City Library. After work I went to my ward/apt. complex skating party at Classic Skating. It was fun, but now I am sore from skating and falling!
Friday- Worked 8 hours. Played with Alan and Jenny!
Saturday- Worked 3 hours. Went shopping. Watched Pirates of Penzance with my roommate.

Whew!

Car. Won't. Start.

So yesterday morning I went out to my car to leave for work and my car wouldn't start! It had been acting a little funny earlier in the week-taking longer to turn over, but it did start each time. Yesterday it was just DEAD!
After silently panicking for a second, I decided that I would just have to ride the bus up to campus and then deal with my car later. Of course I didn't have change to ride the bus, just at $5 bill. So some girl that lives in my complex (I've never seen her before) offered to pay for me to ride up to campus. I am so greatful to her.
Halfway through my shift at BYU I realized that I didn't have my keys with me for Provo City. So I rode the bus back home after work and then walked to the Provo City Library. I had one of my co-workers bring me home at the end of the day.
All throughout the day I was freaking out because I didn't know what was wrong with my car and I didn't know how long it would take to get it fixed and on and on.
So I called Jay to come look at it. I also called my hometeacher to come give my car a jump. It turns out that my battery terminal was pretty corroded. So I went ahead and bought myself a new battery. I'm so thankful for those boys! They were life savers to me and I really appreciate all the time they spent helping me out.
It all worked out at the end of the day, but it was a pretty stressful day!

Inspiring

The other night at work I was looking through a journal with book reviews in it. This book caught my attention, so I decided to find out more about it. This is Akaine's website. She seems like such a pure and amazing person! Her art is simply stunning! She is so young, yet so wise. I want to learn more about her and have asked that we order this book for the library!

This one is my favorite painting! It is called "Father Forgive Them"

Dinner

Yum!
CPK is one of my favorites!

Crazy Holidays

When I was at work the other day, one of the librarians called me asking me to look in a reference book for her. She was writing a newsletter for her dept. and wanted some "filler" stuff. We have this book called 'Chase's Calendar of Events' that lists what holiday there is on each day of the year. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up on what there is to celebrate in October!
