Everyone was up a bit earlier today since we had tests to cram for. I studied for OWH and then French quickly before the test. The test didn't take very long. I spent the next hour studying for OWH. I was studying dates over and over. Turns out, there weren't any dates even on the test. Cool. There were some short answer, discussion questions, a map, a cathedral floor plan, and matching sections. It took almost the whole 90 minutes. It wasn't bad, but it is hard to tell what she is looking for exactly. After the test, I was a free bird. I am still sick, but I feel a whole lot better than yesterday. Way more myself. So much so, that Hannah said she wished I was sick again because I was just too crazy for her. Oops. Not sorry. We had chapel and then got our food money for the trip. We leave for Germany and Austria tomorrow for a week. WOO travel. Lunch was poppyseed chicken. Our favoritest thing ever. yes. favoritest. Also, peaches and corn. I had clean up duty. It didn't take long though and we were done at 1. That was nice because I was ready to take a good long nap. And I did. I think I slept for another three hours. I needed it, okay? After I rested, I uploaded some pictures to Facebook and then it was time for dinner. It was leftover night. I ate some chicken, baked potato, and oranges. Cleaning this time took way longer. We had to throw out or put away all the leftovers in preparation for our absence. Then, we had to wash all of the dishes from all the leftovers. Which takes forever. I packed after we finally finished cleaning. We had a girls devotional at about 8. Very refreshing. Then we had tea time and they had the yummy chocolate waffles. I will actually miss those when we leave. After tea time, I made my bed and took my shower. I facetimed Ben for a bit and uploaded some more photos. I am so excited for GERMANY AND AUSTRIA!!! I have read so many things, watched so many movies, and have learned so many things about these countries throughout my life. Now, I finally get to go there. CRAZY.
Fun Facts: We will be going on a sound of music bike tour. Pumped. Annah got her hair cut by Alexa!!! It's adorbs. We only have 12 more days left spent in the facility. How insane is that? Less than 2 weeks! I know our time here will be over before we know it. I am trying to soak in every minute.
Shoutout: Apparently it is national boyfriend day? I don't know. I know I shout out Ben a lot. But let's be honest, he deserves it. So here is to you and your perfect presence in my life. Lots of love for you.
