20 Questions (well, make that a dozen)
Mary tagged me with this meme.
1. What I was doing 10 years ago: Let's see, ten years ago I was nine. That means I was in third grade--that's the grade that I struggled enough with that I ended up being home schooled for half the year. *Tries to remember all of what into that decision* I remember that they tried giving me more "challenging" spelling lists to make school interesting. It didn't work.
2. Five years ago: My first year as an abnormally young high school student had just begun. I was a sophomore at PG High. Go Vikings! (I actually went to all the assemblies that year.)
3. One year ago: I was a sophomore at the University of Utah, getting geared up for what would be my most stressful month of school thus far.
4. Yesterday: I slept in through the first hour of church and spent the second hour getting dressed and hurrying downhill on the ten minute walk to the institute building. I didn't get to bed before 2am Friday or Saturday and once I was in bed, I didn't get much sleep ... I made it to Relief Society, though! And I did my visiting teaching, even though my companion didn't show up. I also read some of Asher Lev and composed a piano piece.
5. 5 snacks I enjoy: Nutella on toast (mmm, Nutella), milk chocolate Lindor truffles, hot chocolate stirred with a peppermint stick, freshly baked cookies (particularly ones with chocolate chips), and monterey jack cheese melted on saltines.
6. 5 things I would do if I suddenly had $100 million: (Mary's answer: Buy a house, hire a maid, travel (see #7), buy a grand piano, and give some to family.) My answer: Buy a house, travel, buy a grand piano, give some to family, and get a masters from Oxford (yes, the college in England).
7. 5 locations I would like to run away to: The United Kingdom, Israel, Florence, Denmark, Sweden.
8. 5 bad habits I have: procrastinating, worrying too much, giving up too easily, sleeping in through my alarms, and worrying too much.
9. 5 things I like doing: Reading books, watching movies, playing games with friends and/or family, participating intelligently in discussions, and writing.
10: 5 TV shows I like: Heroes, Burn Notice, Psych, M*A*S*H, and Firefly.
11. 5 things I hate doing: becoming unstuck when I've hit a hard point in my novel, writing a paper when I feel uninspired, taking tests, saying "no, I just can't do that", pretending, getting out of bed when I'm sick, going to the doctor (any kind).
12. 5 biggest joys of the moment: reading truly great literature, writing something wonderful, getting a good grad (particularly when it's unexpected), unexpected good news, talking with friends, family time.

I'll have to get Burn Notice from Netflix if it comes out on DVD. Good answers for number 6. ;-) Hot chocolate is sounding pretty good today. Getting cool in the mornings. Thanks for doing the meme. Fun to see your answers. :-)
