    So, I leave in a few days for my mission. It's a time of change, and I'm feeling a little nervous, but I know that this is the right thing for me to do. And it's exciting! But how did it come so fast?! :P

    Also, if anyone wants to stay in touch, PM me your email and such if you want to be on my email list (I'll try to write once a week--but if that's too much for you, feel free to protect yourself from being spammed :P).

      I turned off my PMs :( is there any other way I can send you my email address?

      can you not just turn them back on then turn them off again?

    I got to sit in the pit of Aladdin on Broadway last night! A friend from my internship reached out and I sat with the keyboards.

    There is some really cool tech that they use!

      darn i've read that one

      If you haven’t read any other Andy Weir stuff, The Martian and Artemis are both really good.

      I’m currently reading Black Sun, which is pretty good.

      The Outsiders if you haven't yet, it's a classic. Sad, kinda cheesy sometimes, but really good. In my opinion. Although it was written by a 16/18-year-old girl. But it's short so you don't have to commit much!

  10. Shining Silhouette
    Sure, I can send you a pdf and parts!

    I'm almost finished with an arrangement of Be Still My Soul for cello, piano, and violin for my mission farewell. It's a bittersweet time. It won't be too long before I say goodbye to my family and depart for my mission. But as I've served in the temple, I've come to appreciate the joy that exists in Christ's gospel and of our glorious purposes. We can live together with our families forever--what a blessing! Because we know of our divine heritage, we can stand on pillars of gospel truth and see past the obstructions that block others. There's an old saying: "you can only pull others up to where you are" or something like that. A year ago, I wasn't prepared. Even a few months ago, I really struggled with knowing whether I was doing was right. But I know that the Lord has prepared me, through my unique life experiences and challenges, to preach His word to the nations of the world. I have felt His power in my life. I never realized how real it was. But there is power in our knowledge, in the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and in the house of the Lord. All we need to do is call on it. It's amazing how much the Lord can change your life if you let Him in. 15 minutes of gospel study could alter the path of your life forever.

    Woah, my grandpa was the president there 1995-98 so for a second I wondered if you were one of his missionaries.

    Working at the temple is one of the best experiences ever. If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend it.

    Have I been obsessively figuring out my degree program and emailing professors and asking on forums and scheduling which classes to take when to make my double major possible and looking at potential masters programs and summer internships and employers when I don't even start school for two years???

    ...

    maybe.

      I know I'm crazy

      But sometimes you just wanna know, you know?

      Or at least have a plan

    2. The Paradoxical Phenomenon

      The Paradoxical Phenomenon

      Yeah, it’s nice to have a plan. I’m not quite to college yet, but I’ve planned a lot. In fact, I may not go to college. I’m probably gonna be a plumber. Start a business, make money, and live comfortably. It won’t be that easy, but I have a framework of a plan. If I go to college, it’ll be to become a doctor.

      i think you're just really excited (and maybe a bit nervous) for your life to start, which is a good thing!

      planning for the future never hurt anyone, and if anyone calls you crazy for it, chances are they have no idea what to do with their life :P

    Mission shopping is so fun. I bought a suit and several pairs of slacks and shirts and socks and belts and shoes and ties and a shoulder bag and I didn't even have to pay for it (my dad did :D)
