I Didn't Even Have to Use My AK


In the immortal words of Ice Cube, "I didn't even have to use my AK, I gotta say it was a good day." These words describe how my weekend went. Friday, I had my behavioral science final. I didn't do too well on the midterm when I thought I could have done better. This time, things were different. I was able to score well and pulled off a B in the class. I have always tried to get B's or better. Sometimes, I don't quite make it other times I do. Perhaps, taking time to concentrate and not rush through the exam helped. I really tried to settle down and prove answers wrong before choosing the answer I wanted to stick with. When I found out my grade I had a smile like the one shown in the picture. After the test, Kuulei and I went to the Grenada Grande Beach Hotel to meet some friends. We sipped smoothies poolside as we chomped on BBQ chicken wings and soaked up some rays. It was a good day. Saturday, we were able to get a ride with some friends who are always great to let us come with them grocery shopping. We got lots of yummy food and Kuulei let me get two cartons of chocolate milk. Later that day, we went to the beach with some members of the branch and soaked up some rays again. Kuulei and Casey went off to play some Volleyball while I watched Casey's little daughter. We stopped at the grocery store again and I schmoozed Kuulei into letting me get more chocolate milk. She is very kind to me. I gotta say it was a good day. Sunday we taught the primary kids a fun lesson and sang songs. It is amazing how I can remember a lot of the primary songs from when I was in primary. Some songs are new but most are still the ones I learned. I sang a long except when the notes get too high for my manly voice. We came home and lazed about until dinner time where we traditionally eat with friends. We had a lot of great pasta salads and some chicken and meatballs. We always enjoy the food and the company we have grown to love since being here. I gotta say it was a good day. Tomorrow, I start 4th term. It is very busy but now we will really start to do doctor things by learning clinical skills and pathology. I am excited and nervous. I will do my best so that I can always say, "I didn't even have to use my AK."
