1. diet coke
yes...i drank diet coke this morning before my final. it woke me up. i in no way feel guilty about this.
2. dr hallen
even though i complain about my linguistics class a lot, i really do love dr hallen. she is such a sweetheart. on our final today, she gave us 1.5 points extra credit because she didn't get all of our names right. then she gave us 20 more points extra credit (if we answered the questions correctly). FANTASTIC. and i wrote my own language. which i guess is pretty cool.
3. angel presents
so the humanities advisement center was doing this thing called angel presents, where students were able to pick names of kids from the provo/orem area and buy christmas presents for them. these kids probably won't be getting a whole lot for christmas, so it was really important to me to do this! after my final, i went to target and got some super sweet spiderman light-up shoes for a little boy named ethan, some flat stanley books for a girl named (crumbs, i can't remember, i feel horrible...), and then i went to barnes & noble to get a tinkerbell book for a little girl named nathaly. there weren't any tinkerbell books at target, so i was thinking about just getting some disney princess books for her, but it suddenly occurred to me: nathaly had not asked for anything else. she just wanted a tinkerbell book. so i had to get one for her. i actually was able to find an entire disney fairy story book with silver-edged pages. it was so perfect. i don't even know these kids, but i loved them so much. i hope they have the best christmases ever :)
steph and i decided that our song is the song from the fox and the hound. the best of friends. we were trying to decide who was copper and who was todd, but we decided we were both copper. we're both too shy and obedient to be todd. our new motivational phrase is, "what would todd do?" haha. we decided this while we were doing yoga.
5. our bishopric
tonight, our bishopric came around to each apartment in our ward and gave us all pizza! they ordered each apartment an entire pizza. how sweet is that?! i am so grateful for leaders who care enough about us to take the time and money to personally bring each of us a pizza and carol at our doorstep. that pizza was the perfect dinner. that and reese's pieces.

| our pizza with a little note, and some of my reese's in the corner haha |
6. a fixed dresser drawer
so for like a month...or so...i've had a broken dresser drawer. i opened it one day, and it wouldn't open any further or close. distressing, i know. i finally talked to maintenance about it today and they fixed it for me. brilliant. now i have a fully functioning dresser and access to my pants again.
7. laundry machines that only stole 50 cents from me
the laundry at liberty square sometimes steals your money. or wastes your money when the dryers don't actually do what they're supposed to. today they only stole 50 of my cents as opposed to $1.00 or more. i'm so happy i have clean clothes. i was getting a little desperate there, people.

| so this is steph's awesome cat shirt i found at walmart. i mentioned it in my post yesterday, if you missed that. |

| i made this sign today for our door so everyone would know that our apartment was "the quiet zone" ha. |
