Church today. Taught primary. Bishop asked to talk to me after church. I was really nervous that he was going to ask me to give a talk. Instead he just was doing a little “checkup” and was making sure everything was going okay in my life. It took about two minutes total, but I had to wait over half an hour to meet with him. All of the girls I go to church with had left already, so I had to go back to the Centre alone. Sad day.

After church, Allyson and I headed towards Chinatown for the Chinese New Year celebrations. We stopped at Covent Garden to see the red carpet for the British Orange Awards (British Oscars). I would have loved to stay and watch, but Allyson has no patience for my interest in celebrities/movies, so we continued on our way to Leicester Square. Well… the celebrations were a complete bust. It was super crowded, but otherwise completely uneventful. It was very disorganized and there was nothing of interest going on. We pushed our way through crowds for a while, then realized that it was totally pointless to be there, so we left. Lame!

After dinner we had a fireside by President Phillips in the classroom. He was young, nice, and very funny. After, Allyson was very disappointed to find out that all of the Nutella was gone, so after eating some other source of chocolate, we sat down to do our Mythology papers. Found out that our papers weren’t actually due until 5pm on Monday, so I didn’t get very far with that! Hahaha, so while Allyson was in the kitchen, I jumped onto her computer and changed her screensaver to a giant jar of Nutella. When she came back and turned on her computer, she burst into hysterics. She completely lost it when she saw the picture of Nutella. We were laughing so hard. Completely lost it! Tears were streaming down her eyes. She was truly crying… not just from laughing. She had to excuse herself from the library. Some of the girls were concerned that something was actually wrong. So funny!
