Dear Reader,
Ok, so normally I wouldn't write more than once a week or so, but we were talking about keeping personal records in my Doctrine and Covenants class this evening, so I'm going to write more here and keep up more with my actual Journal. I write here because I've decided this is a good way to express my feelings without offending anyone. That is the case because this is a private blog and those who follow it probably don't read a whole lot of it anyway. I thank those of you who do. Anyway, we will get back to the point here.
Life is grand. I may feel otherwise much of the time, but life is grand. This is why I mention keeping a record, because I'm going to tell you every big thing going on in my life right now as a record of what I was doing my freshman year of college. It's a pretty good record. Right now I'm working hard with a Barbershop Choir at the University and we're putting on several concerts this month and next. It's amazing to sing with them and I feel like a great part of something. They really are great guys who come out and sing with us.
Another great thing? I had an interview to be a Counselor at EFY over the Summer. Best part? I feel it went really well! While walking home afterwards, I ran into a friend from the ward who has previously been a counselor and we became really excited while talking about it. EFY is such a great opportunity and I really hope they call me to come out.
Keeping with the idea of Jobs, I start my new Job at the MTC tomorrow! No, I'm not teaching there, but that would have been cool, too. My work will be in the Laundry room, working about 20 hours a week. I'm pretty excited because it means I'll finally have an income! Woot! It'll be interesting to see what my responsibilities are every day, because they switch depending on the shift we are given.
Stress comes from school-work. Staying up til 2 to finish biology homework is not exactly fun. Especially when you know your grade isn't going to be great on the assignment. Hopefully it will go ok. That's all I can pray for concerning my classes.
I must say that my social life isn't as dead as I thought. My roommates are great and help me out a lot, even though I probably annoy the daylights out of them. The complex that owns our house is pretty great. I'm glad I live here. There's a basketball court that makes for a great place to relieve stress and just not think. I didn't realize how much it helps just to go out and shoot some hoops, especially if you're talking with someone. I must thank my roommates and friends for that, as well. It'll be nice to actually live in the apartment complex in the spring and next fall.
Yes, life is going pretty well. I need to remind myself of that. God loves me, no matter my mistakes. I make a lot of them, but He loves me still the same. That is one of two relationships that I find most important to me. I'm having a hard time with both, but at least the one with my Heavenly Father I know how to fix and I am working on improving it. Hopefully the other will be mended as well.
So, keep smiling. Life is good. :)
