The Final Stretch of Summer

 Welcome to the final stretch of summer...oh boy, haha. 

The day I'll enter the Missionary Training Center is coming pretty fast., and I'm just about ready for this adventure :) This summer, the weeks have felt like days, I swear they did.

Pretty much I've spent this summer with family, work, and friends, and I really enjoyed it.

Something else I did a lot of was reading. I love it, and since I won't be able to have access to a wide variety of books during the 18 months I'll be in South Carolina, I've reread most of my favorite books, like Ranger's Apprentice, the Mistborn Trilogy, East, etc. I also found a new series that I really like too. I love werewolves. Not like the Stephanie Meyer wolves though. 

I've also been to several of my friends' own mission farewells, and those were nice. It's awesome to see so many people so eager to serve :)
Life is good. Seriously :) 

Goodbyes are hard :/

Last day of "school". Technically school ended last week and this current week was just filled with finals, but oh well. I played with the band at the graduation ceremony thing. My favorite part? Instead of playing the usual "Pomp and Circumstance" for the march, we played a movement from Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz, and basically this march is about a guy who's been sentenced to death. The movement is called, "March to the Scaffold" if anyone would care to hear it. Be sure to listen for the 4 short notes in the last few measures ;). I have a weird sense of humor, but I'm not the only one, lol. I know the conductor has the same humor with this march and playing it in a graduation ceremony, haha.
Anyway, goodbyes.
I've had (will)  say goodbye to some awesome friends and roommates today, and its hard :/
I've met some fantastic friends here, and I've gotten really lucky with roommates. I'm not ready for the rest of the ones that haven't been said. Oh well. It'll happen, whether I'm ready or not. I love this place and the people. I love the music department here too.
On the bright side? The weather is fantastically warm and nice today, and I do get to go home and be with family. Tomorrow I'll also begin a trip that'll be amazing with a previous roommate. I'm sooo excited!! Yay for the trips, lol.
See ya

New Role In Life For the Next Couple of Years

Hi, haha, long time no see =)
Anyway, so a huge event has happened for me today, and I'm so excited!!!
Just so ya know and understand what I'll be saying, I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I'm super happy with this, and am so blessed in many many ways.
Today I got my mission call!!!
I'm so excited!!! =D
I'm serving the Lord and people as a missionary in the South Carolina, Columbia Mission.
FANTASTIC!!!
I'm just bouncing off of the walls with excitement :D
Hopefully I'll be able to write more about this in the next few months. I might have someone write about my mission experiences on here for me and whomever reads this while I'm gone...Idk. We'll see.
See ya :)
