Late-Night Fun and Freedom

Last night, I was spontaneously invited to help Monica and Karla put fun pictures and leftover heart decor on our good friend Kyle's apartment door by means of ding-dong-ditching. I readily agreed. We all made awesome pictures, got several hearts and put them in a bag, and headed out to do our deed.

The problem? We knew what building Kyle lived in; we just didn't know what room. Karla tried to call him to ask, but he didn't answer. Then Monica tried, saying, "I don't think he's going to answer--oh! Hey, Kyle!" as he picked up on the third ring. She told him our made-up, prepared story that we had made cupcakes and wanted to bring them to him tomorrow, since it was about 11:15 pm, so she wanted to verify his room number. He told her, adding that girls aren't allowed in the men's apartments. She said OK, then they hung up. During the whole conversation, Karla and I were trying so hard not to burst out laughing. After they hung up, we all cracked up.

We got to the building, and going towards the door there were at least three to five signs basically saying, "No women allowed beyond this point." It was hysterical.

We reached the right room and got to work. Monica couldn't handle it, so she went out into the separated stairway and cracked up. I felt like we were being way too loud putting the stuff on the door, not to mention that the apartment door right across from us was wide open. Thankfully, no one came to it. We finished our mischief, got into a running stance, knocked, and took off. That was probably the fastest I've ever gone down three flights of stairs. On our way out the door, a guy coming out of the lounge area looked at us with a look of total confusion. "We're sorry; we're leaving!" we shouted as we ran completely out and towards our apartment for a little bit. We started walking and laughed so hard all the way home.

I tried to get to sleep around 11:30, but was having difficulty because Monica and Kyle were talking on the speaker phone afterwards. (Turns out that they didn't hear the knock, so Karla and Monica told Kyle to go look at his door. He said it was so awesome and thanked us) I finally listened to soft music on my iPod, coming back to "A Whole New World" by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle, the one that always puts me to sleep.

I woke up at about 5:45 to my alarm, hit the snooze, woke up to it again about 10 minutes later, and hit it one more time before deciding to get up at about 6 am.

Karla and Monica had decided to sleep in the living room again, so I tried to be extra quiet. I'm not sure how great I did, but they're both heavy sleepers, so I wasn't too worried.

Today was pretty good in general, although it wasn't as great as yesterday. I'm planning on going to the temple with another girl in my dorm (Anne-Marie) next week. Super excited to see this beautiful temple from the inside. :)

We had our midterm test in English tonight, and I felt like I was reviewing things that I knew really well in 8th grade. I felt bad for some of the kids in my class who weren't really sure about some answers while we were discussing grammatical stuff. I did get a 90% on my first English paper. :)

I'm so thrilled to be leaving tomorrow with my cousin and her roommate to come home!!!! :D I'm not sure if I'll be able to get to sleep tonight, I'm so excited! :)
