School. Yea. My most favoritest. Nah, it should be okay. Part of me is pretty excited for school to start again, to be able to see everyone again and all that, but I also kinda wanted to have a summer this year. I think I've only had three or four days so far that really count as summer days. The rest I've been working or at band or off doing something else. It's been fun, don't get me wrong, but I miss the days when summer was full of nothing to do but lay around and be lazy.
This school year should be good. I have some pretty intense classes (AP Gov, mostly) but also some pretty fun classes that I've wanted to take for quite some time. I don't know whether I'm excited or maybe not so much for Encore to start too. It's really fun to be able to make things work and to sound good, but I don't really like working it over, and over, and over, and over again. If people could just get it right the first few times, then it would all be okay. But, I guess that they don't have band experience, where you're expected to get things right after one or two runs. It's really helped me to be able to quickly memorize things.
Plus, I get to be a Senior now. It's been a long time coming, and I'm fairly excited, to say the least. I've been excited to graduate for a few years now, but at the same time, I'm kind of afraid. After I graduate, I have to work hardcore all summer, and then I'm off on my mission. As excited as I am to go out and serve a mission, it still scares me. I don't feel ready to teach people the gospel. I mean, some of the people I'll probably be teaching will have been searching their entire lives for the truth, and it'll be up to me, just a boy, to bring it to them. It's a rather intimidating idea, if I do say so myself. But back to being a senior. I've decided not to deal in lasts, especially with band, until later. I mean, I've been through my last band camp, my last first rehearsal, my last parades, etc, but I don't really want to start thinking about all that. It would probably just detract from my ability to get as much done as I could. It'll hit me pretty hard late in the season, I'm sure of it.
Wow, I still can't get over the fact that school starts on Thursday. I kinda want to take the week off of work. I mean, I know I should work and earn more money, but I want to have a little while to call my own and to have a bit of summer. I guess I should make that call sometime in the near future, as I should let Kevin know tonight whether or not I'll be working tomorrow.
Well, I'm off to try and take a nap, or at least lay down for a while! I could use the rest.

Don't be afraid about the mission. You may not feel like you are prepared now, but you still have a year to grow, and it's one of those things that you're not really going to feel ready for no matter what you do. :D Like getting married. But Heavenly Father takes what you give Him and turns it into enough to accomplish the job.
Have I mentioned how cool your show is? Because... It is. :) I'm really, really excited to go to competitions and such to watch it under the bright lights with the adrenaline of competition. Yep, I'm excited. :) And.. For the record, you're going to make an incredible missionary. I don't know that anyone can ever fully prepare themselves for things like that, no matter what they do. I think it's because of faith. You prepare yourself the best way you can, and then you hand yourselve over to the Lord and let Him take it from there. :) Which... is pretty much what your sister said. =)
Um... I think I was trying to write "yourself" and I wrote "yourselve." Your friend is dumb. =)
You know what? I've kinda missed reading your updates. =) I know I talk to you all the time, but... it's different. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying your ride down to the temple open house!
