In school I always laughed when people assumed that because I was an English Major I must like to write. I was just in it for the stories. Of course, that was when I wrote for homework. It turns out that I really do like to write after all and I really look forward to working on my writing assignments. Maybe I just didn't find the writing meaningful enough before, or maybe I enjoy it more because I am better at it and it isn't such a struggle to string the words together. Who knows?
It is a very different kind of writing from what I am used to. I admit, I had no idea if my writing could make it in the real world. The problem with school is that you work hard on your papers and then your professors send them back covered in red ink. It isn't that the professors are mean, I love most of my professors, but their job is to teach, and there is always room to improve. When you are writing for publication though, you just have to publish it anyway. The other writers at the Church Office Building have been incredibly kind and supportive. It feels good to know that I can make it in the outside world.
This week I took over the mail delivery for PSD. It turns out that being the assistant to the administrative assistant really means that I run errands. A lot of people have moved desks lately, so I spend a lot of time tracking people down. It is necessary, so I try to have a good attitude about it even though I have been sent on more than a couple wild goose chases.
I have also finally figured out where Institute is held here in Heber. I didn't realize how much I missed that kind of atmosphere where we discuss the gospel and learn together. I've been teaching primary for the last six weeks or so, and missing the adult meetings just makes Institute all the sweeter.
In other news, I have a picture of a cute little buck for you. Somehow this fellow made it all the way to downtown Salt Lake and was trying to rest next to one of the director's windows. We think he might have gotten hit by a car before animal control came. I don't know what happened to him, but I am choosing to believe that he had a happy ending.
