Rubber Ducky, You're The One

So, lots of funny stories this week! When I aim to be obedient I do great, but then I struggle after that. But I have tried hard this week! So for the run-ins there was a huge spider in our dorm, we pranked our teacher with rubber ducks, we got in trouble for racing with the rolly chairs, Elder Neu (new) jumped me (not really, well kinda) and a few others...

Okay the spider, we were all ready for bed when Sister Macbeth freaks out because there is this HUGE spider crawling towards her open closet door and I mean this thing was huge so we were all screaming "Kill it!!!" Well it's like 3 min later when the sisters next to us burst into the room with flip flops in hand to kill whatever we were screaming at but Sister Claypool killed it thank heavens. We almost died.

 So our teacher is nice but he can be a little stuck up and it doesn't help that he is this scrawny little guy. So it's really hard to listen to what he says because he kinda lords over us and we all don't like it. It's also funny because he enunciates hardcore and there's this little spit zone that we all steer clear of. Especially with anything that starts with a "C, S, CH". Anyways, Elder Kirkman got about 50 little rubber ducks so we all took them and anytime he spat out a word that started with C, we all squeezed our little rubber ducks that made a noise. He was pretty confused. And it took him the whole 3 hours before he figured out it was us. But oh man it was soooooooo funny! You hear him say something like "choose" and then you would hear 12 rubber ducks. But we only did that for one day because we thought it would be mean to do it more. It was still funny though.  

Okay, so we had a break in class and there is this big long hallway in the teaching center and they have the best chairs that roll so perfectly. Ugh I love it. Anyways, Sister Macbeth and I had a big long race down the hallway with the chairs, but our teacher said we probably shouldn't do that so we stopped.  So we were playing lightning instead of an actual basketball game because you know, no contact, anyways I shot and missed and my ball went behind me and Elder Neu had just shot and missed as well. Well when he grabbed his ball, he did a layup and accidentally jumped on my heel. But the bruise doesn't hurt and I was still able to play! It looks worse than the picture but it doesn't hurt.

So Tuesday was my birthday and man my sisters here are sneaky!! Monday they spent the whole day sneaking around with each other writing a card and getting me a necklace with the D.C. temple on it. Because we are insanely busy, it took them all day. They also got Elder Allen to write out my name on the card. Let me tell you, the guy is so sweet and so talented! They gave it to me early which was fun. 

On my actual birthday, I hate it when people sing to me, its soooooo awkward but the girls next door came over in the morning and sang, then my district sang to me in class and dinner!! It was so awkward I slid down in my chair. 

So we did a belly button video. It's a song from veggie tales and "belly  button" is the name of the song! I had the bright idea of suggesting we should do a dance to the song. I was just joking but Sister Macbeth choreographed a dance! We had a weird amount of energy for that little thing. But it was fun.

Okay I think that's it for this week so later!
