Looking for Rainbows

This weekend was mother's weekend. It was difficult. Maybe one of the hardest times I've had here besides my birthday. Usually it's easy to know that I'm alone out here. I don't dwell on it, don't think about it. But there are those times when someone in class will mention having discussed something with their mom or asked their dad a question and in that very moment I feel utterly alone. With everyone having their mom here this weekend I felt like that constantly, which made me angry, which made me unpleasant to be around. So today I had a meeting with the Bishop because sometimes you just need someone to tell you you're doing okay and you'll get through it.

I spent most of the day up in apartment 10. We had a blast. Kristen and I did some studying and we took a nap. Then Kristen and Miriam made corn chowder and biscuits from scratch. After that we started singing and recording for the CD I'm making as a Christmas present to a few people.

Now I'm home in apartment 1 and I'm debating which book to begin reading on the list below. I think I'll start with Dealing With Dragons because I need to read it for class anyway. I read it when I was a freshman in high school and loved the series. It's such a fantastic book.
