good choice.

tonight when i got home from school
all i planned to do
was chill.
you know,
just sit. hahaha
tuesdays and wednesdays are loooong days for me.
on campus from 8 am to 6pm.

side story:
luckily today i had a break
between 1 and 3:30 today
so i went back to my apartment
to change and just relax a little.
i got out of the shuttle
and i saw...
chad!
hahaha and i said
"chad!....what are you doing?" haha
he brought me my phone charger that i left in sandy.
so i invited him up
and we had a small game of mario kart!
i thoroughly enjoyed this spontaneous visit!



anyways i planned to come home and just relax
and as soon as i got in my room
my roommate macy came in and said
"you goin to the relief society activity?"
....
umm....
when is it? now.
sad to say what really got me to go was free dinner...
haha but i'm glad i went!
we went to an assisted living center close by
to paint nails and just visit.
i visited with a lady named joanna.
she had Alzheimer's 
so she wasn't making much sense.
i would ask her questions and her answers had nothing to do with what i asked.
but i just listened and talked with her.
i started to feel sorry for her,
she couldn't remember hardly anything.
she didn't really know where she was.
she was making no sense...
at the point when i was going to stop just because i didn't know what else to say,
she grabbed my hand
and looked me right in the eyes
and smiled and said
"thank you. you are very nice."

my heart melted.
she may not remember it.
she may not remember me.
but i will remember.
for just one moment i made her feel comfortable
and she appreciated me visiting with her.

and she made me feel loved.

i am glad there was free food that made me decided to go to this activity...
hahaha, but really.
