Preference was great, both nights. The first night we took Panda Express food up into the canyon and ate it around a campfire, and then roasted starbursts. After that we went to the dance, which was either ice skating or an actual dance. We skated until about 15 minutes left, and then danced. It was quite fun - I love ice skating and haven't been for a long time! I need to learn to stop though...
On Saturday we made homemade pizzas and then went to a fun dance at the Wilkinson Student Center. After that it was ice cream! It was very fun as well. We danced and had a grand old time.

So preference was quite fun.
I just bought Jesus the Christ, by James E. Talmage, at the bookstore. So far it's a really, really great book. I'm only done with the first two chapters though, but I'm plugging away on it.
That reminds me: for mission prep this last little bit we had to talk to 10 complete strangers about the gospel. It was difficult. Talking to strangers is uncomfortable sometimes, but it's good practice.
School is going well; chemistry is difficult but getting easier, biology is surprisingly easier than I thought it would be, missionary prep is great, English is my lowest grade but one of my favorite classes, and next semester should be fun. Signing up for classes is stressing and confusing. I want to take general ed classes, but I want some fun classes as well. I want to take more advanced classes in my major but I'm not sure if they will transfer with me if I decide to switch schools. A fine balance must be struck between fun and hard, general and specific; a academic quadruple point, if you will (closely related to chemistry's triple point).
The weather is very nice. Today is the perfect temperature - bordering on jackets. Sunny and bright, the clouds hover high overhead, wispy threads of cotton.
If I think of anything else, I'll throw it up here.

Sean, sounds like you had a great time at both events. As for school, I like your philosophy; challenging classes along with some fun...ain't college life grand. Congrats on your good score in biology.
