So I'm back in my spotless house and I finished the last episode of my Korean drama. It ended in Shakespearean fashion with the supposedly scorned man shooting his rival who fled to Bali with the woman he loved. He also kills her but before she dies she manages to tell him she loves him finally. Very tragic AND dramatic. I like nice romantic comedies and happy endings.

I managed to do a load of laundry. Now I need to finish cleaning my kitchen. It feels like Saturday since I didn't work yesterday. I need to take out some chicken. I'm planning to make some chicken curry and rice. I am going to watch mindless television too as I just clean and get ready for the rest of this week. It's sort of cold. I'm using my throw blanket a bunch. I keep spilling things on it. It is beige but I keep having to wash it and now it's filled with splotches so I'm going to have to replace it.

I did a load of laundry I need to take out of the washer and dry most of the clothes. I'm going to hang my pink dress although since it's cotton I should just dry it too. I bought a banana creme pie yesterday that was marked down to 3.99 at Smith's. I also bought ice-cream and chocolate milk was on sale.

What this chapter reminded me of is when I went to elementary school in Tonga. Tonga Side School is the only English-speaking school on the entire island. The government officials and businessmen in Tonga send their kids to school there.

Kids from Liahona were LDS and we all carpooled together. Everyone else was NOT LDS and traveled to New Zealand or Australia. The LDS kids were all American. Every morning the entire school assembled for a devotional that consisted of ALL of us "praying" or reciting the Lord's Prayer. As a result I have that thing memorized. It is easy for me to see how people mess that up. Christ gave them the prayer as an EXAMPLE. I remember also on my mission teaching this investigator to pray and thinking he understood. We asked him to say the prayer. He read EXACTY from our chart without filling in his own words.

I tried sooo hard NOT to laugh at him but this turned out horribly because I couldn't stop laughing for a while. The poor investigator I'm sure felt bad and nervous only to have one of the "sweet" sisters laugh at him, hard. I FINALLY composed myself and apologized repeatedly.

One of my biggest fears then was that I'd do that in court. I was so sure I wanted to be an attorney. I just knew I'd crack up at the most inappropriate moment like I did then. I still want to go to law school and my mother wants me to do that too. I have no intention of doing that however until AFTER I'm married. Now I'm going to keep working on my career. I want to be part of ALA's emerging leaders program. I'm doing everything I can to make my next librarian job incredible. Teaching online is something else I want to do now.
