I haven't blogged since... December first?
Wow.
Haha, I guess I'm a little behind!
I've been tremendously busy with the end of the Fall semester,
and getting ready for the Spring semester,
with Christmas, New Years, church, Winn Dixie, McKay,
and everything else in between!
A couple of things that I'm doing right now,
that I'm terribly stoked for, and want to begin and complete,
and know the outcome of right now!
1: I took the pre-test for getting my GED today!
Now I just have to take so many hours of class at the
high school in order to take the GED test?
So, I'm gonna be working on that whenever I have a second!
2: I applied to be an EFY counselor!
And, I got an email saying,
"Hey, we think you might do well! Let's interview you!"
SO, I'm going to my interview,
(along with Courtney, John Frey, Heather Moss,
and maybe, hopefully, Katharine Daniels!)
on January 28th.
I'm so nervous.
And so stoked.
It's complete mixed emotions,
I'm going crazy waiting for it!
I want to be an EFY counselor SO bad.
But, I feel like I'll not do too well sometimes.
Maybe the kids won't like me. And I won't be a fun counselor
(which is part of the reason for a counselor! To get the kids
hyped up, and enjoy themselves! I realize, we're supposed to teach
and try to bring the spirit, but we are also to try to get them to have fun!)
I can be really fun sometimes.
But only sometimes.
I'm usually too level-headed, and my head's on too tight
for me to let loose, and have fun.
I can let loose and have fun,
but I just have to get in the mood for it.
And, once I'm in the mood, I'm solid!
So, I don't want to let the kids down if I do get picked to be a counselor.
And, if I don't get picked, I'll probably be semi-discouraged.
But, only semi. I'll be okay with it, though.
I'm still a kid, myself.
But, maybe that's why I need to be a counselor.
To act goofy, and be silly with other counselors.
I dunno, my mind is going 1000x miles an hour lately.
Just thinking.
I've been freaking out about the interview part.
It's a group interview, and somewhere in that interview,
I have to give a 3-5 minutes lesson/devotional/thing.
I severely dislike public speaking!
Much less public teaching, where I have to try to
teach people who have most likely been counselors before/gone
on missions, and are quite a bit smarter than me.
But, I guess I shouldn't be worried about that.
I just need to have the Spirit with me, and I should do fine.
I've been trying to prepare myself spiritually for it by
having some gospel/scripture study daily, and praying daily
(more sincerely), and then pondering afterward.
But, I'm still super nervous when I think about it.
Oh well.
I'll calm down.
I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, and I'm sure I'll do fine! :)
If I do get picked to be an EFY counselor, then
GREAT! I'll be able to have a blast throughout my summer,
and get paid to do it! And I'll be able to travel around a couple of states
(hopefully GA, VA, and TX!), while being spiritually uplifted,
and in the process uplifting some youth/other people as well! :)
So, keep me in your prayers y'all!
So I won't be so stressed, and so I'll have the Spirit to be with me
when I have my interview, so I'll know what to do/say!
That's what I'm praying for at least! :) Haha.
That's what's mainly been on my mind lately
(if you couldn't tell).
EFY, EFY, EFY, EFY, EFY, EFY, EFY.
It seems like the greatest opportunity in the world,
but sometimes I don't know how to have fun,
and I'm scared all ruin the whole thing by not letting loose!

Random side note: I just wrote all that mumble jumble
of letters, and in the process erased all that I had written.
This whole blog post.
Luckily, there is the "undo" option.
Greatest. Option. Ever.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Next subject!
What am I taking this coming semester?
- History, 1865-present (I think)
- Spanish I
- Biology
I think it'll make for a nice semester.
Then, after this semester it will be summertime.
Aka, hopefully EFY time!
Then, Fall semester.
What will I be taking then?
Probably the same thing, roughly.
- History (of something/somewhere else)
- Science (of some sort) with a lab - help me pick which one!
- Spanish II (probably)
...and then, after that semester ALL I'LL HAVE LEFT
ARE ELECTIVES! I think 4 classes of electives that I have to take,
then I'll have my AA! (Associates in Arts Degree)
Wow, it seems like it's flown by so fast.
Me being in college, and getting a degree and all.
Granted, I don't have my degree just yet, and I still have
a few more semesters to go, but I feel like I'm SO close!
It's crazy.
Where do I want to transfer to once I get my AA?
BYU.
BYU-Provo, BYU-Idaho, or BYU-Hawaii.
However, the out of state tuition will be killer.
That's something that just kills me.
But, I want to be somewhere where I can feel the Spirit,
you know? I don't want to go to a college where everyone
goes out and gets drunk on the weekend.
Oh decisions, decisions, decisions.
Alright. I think I'm done ranting for the night.
I'm sure I could think of more, but my sisters are
trying to sleep, and I'm keep the lights on.
And I have to work in the morning, too.
So, goodnight!
