School House Rock

School resumes tomorrow, and I will be a sophomore. Hopefully I'll get to start studying drivers ed. soon, because I want my license the earliest I can. The rule about waiting a year to drive others is going to irritate me forever. But at least I won't have to spend hours trying to get rides when Mom, Dad, or Gary can't take me. Anyway-my schedual consists of:
Fall:
Seminary
Band
AP Euro/English block
band
Chemistry
Honors Pre-Cal

Spring:
Seminary
band
AP Euro/English block
pe
Japanese 2
Choir for now-I may switch to musical theater or another elective

The Planets

I started band camp again this week. Our show this year is all about space, with parts from "The Planets," "Apollo 13," and "Star Trek." Our drill is a lot easier than last year. I have already gotten tan lines (farmer tan and sock tan) and burns (not as bad as last year) even though we only had 3 days of camp this week. Some of the freshman are easy to like, but some aren't as easily loved. Thankfully I can spend time with all the sophmores and up too. My friends sent me on a scavenger hunt made of puzzle pieces I had to collect that formed a happy belated birthday poster on the back when put together. One of them gave me a "My Little Pony" for my gift because we have a joke about wanting a pony. So that made me laugh. Other stuff I got (my friends got for me just cause it made them think of me) were a disney princess gift bag and coloring book, horse figurine, and flutist sculpture. I have two more days of camp this week, and there will be two or more people there that weren't at last weeks because of the drum core compition (which were this weekend, but I didn't get to go or watch that.) I also get my school schedual tomorrow before camp.

Power in Purity

Although the food was somewhat de-appetizing, I loved my trip to BYU-I for EFY. My company's name was 'Before the World Was,' but we didn't come up with as good of cheers as the other groups. My session director was the hilarious Brother Beecher, and my counselor was named Nicole. We had people mostly from Utah, Idaho, and CA in my group, although we had people from Canada and other states too. It was great spiritually, and fun too, I loved the people I got to meet. I loved the dances-their DJ is better than the one for my stake, and a million times better than the ones we get at school. The lesson were taught mostly or all by full time CES workers, and were really good.
