You drive me crazy

Dear Readers,

In no way do I support Brittany Spears, but her song "You drive me crazy" so accurately describes this week that the catchy tune has been stuck in my head. Maybe I'll have to think of another song like "Crazy Train." Getting to the point, this week brings a lot of action for me and everyone else.

First off, I have to share the most exciting news of my week. I am officially an member of one the largest fraternities on this earth: the Melchezidik Priesthood. That's right, on Sunday I was sustained in stake conference and then ordained an elder later in the afternoon. It may seem obvious, but I feel this overwhelming sense of more responsibility. Whatever the case, I feel really great. :)

This week brings many a final meeting for various groups as our high school career comes to an end. Tomorrow is our last band concert of the year, during which all the seniors will be recognized for their participation in the instrumental music program. Our Jazz Band is relatively young this year, with only four seniors out of the twenty or so in the group. I'm sad to have it come to an end.

We also have a senior testimony meeting this week. I can't say I'm looking forward to this meeting. Feeling the spirit will be great, but crying will go on a rampage through the group of seniors who attend. The tears might come to my eyes and I don't like that idea.

Choir also has an end, which has far surpassed its due date. The seniors will also be getting awards at the choir barbeque, but they won't mean as much due to the fact that most of them are lame awards. I saw one today that was entitled the "Mr. Personal Agenda" award. Talk about lame credits. Although, getting these awards will sum up a the pretty lame year we had in the choir program.

By far, the most exciting event this week takes place on Saturday. Today we, a few guys, planned out what we would like to do on that day for a group date to the Olympus Senior Prom. The night doesn't sound too extravegant, but I can garuantee it will make for a good time.

Yes siree, this week already has been and will be a great, busy week. I'm already tired. ;)

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
