In short:
General Conference weekend I got a ride to Provo with Chad Busath, a kid in my ward. On Saturday I hung out with the family and with Chad a little bit. Mom, Mollie, Erin, Grandma, my cousin Liz and I went to see "Footloose" at a Community Theater in Orem. It was fun.
While we were out I got this picture. I didn't think Provo was THAT ghetto.
I stayed at Mollie's dorm on Saturday night, and then on Sunday our family "packed" a picnic (bought it from KFC) and took it up the canyon between sessions of Conference. It was such a nice day. I took lots of pictures trying to capture what little fall foliage Utah had to offer.

On Sunday night Mom and Dad drove me as far as Pocatello where I visited with Aunt Karen and Uncle Tom before Chad picked me up and drove me back to my little bubble in Rexburg. We walked up to the temple and tried to get some pictures, but my camera is too small to get anything that great.

The last couple of weeks of school have just been business as usual. Boring and time consuming.
Kimberly was out of town all last weekend so Sarah and I went out and had fun. On Saturday night I went to the Best of Guitars Unplugged concert which Chad's band made it into. When I got home from that Sarah and I went to her friend Ryan's apartment and watched a movie. On Sunday Sarah and I skipped Relief Society (trust me, it was better for both of us, and probably everyone else too, that we did) and then went to Sunday School and Sacrament Meeting. Our church schedule is all backwards from home, and nothing compares to church in the Cromwell Ward. It's so boring and ... boring here. Ugh.
Anyways, that night I made cookies to take to Brittany's (a fellow clarinet player) apartment. She invited a bunch of people over for dinner and I said I might come and if I did, I'd bring cookies. Sarah and I got to talking and we talked forever and about everything. It was good. I missed the party, so Sarah and I ate the cookies ourselves. Since we still had some leftover, we took them with us and went to Viking Village to meet people. The first floor is mostly our ward, so we went up to the second and third floors bearing cookies. It's easy to meet people when you have cookies with you. It was so fun to just meet people. Then we went to Stadium Singing where Sarah tried to set me up with this boy she knows who plays in the Wind Ensemble with me. He thought she was interested in him. He asked her out for Saturday night. Hahaha. Anyways, then we went back to Viking Village to meet some more people before going to Sarah's friend Matt's house to watch a little bit of Pride and Prejudice before we had to leave.
Monday night was FHE so we went to karaoke night at a local hangout kind of place called Heart Mind and Soul. I would say bar, but it wasn't exactly a bar. Maybe a mormonized bar. I don't know. Anyway, after that Brittany, Dallin, Cody, (FHE Brothers) and I went to Broulim's since Brittany and I were out of groceries. I bought tons of food. Yum. Food!
My clarinet lesson was cancelled on Friday because my professor went to Utah to play in a concert... I think. Anyway, I have to reschedule it for sometime next week. Two lessons in one week is going to be interesting. In other news, school this week was long and tiring. I need a break. I know, it's only been a month, but still -- I need a break!
I guess that's about it for now. Wish me luck for the next week!
