Only at the MTC...

My roommates in room 209 (aka Sis. Snow, Sis. Anderson, Sis. Hegstrom, Sis. Cusick and I) made a list of things that only happen at the MTC.  It is seriously funny because it is so true!  Some of them are particular to our group, (inside jokes, real life incidents) but anyone who has been there can relate.  Hope you enjoy it!
