Yesterday was the 2-week-preversary of the MTC for me. "I'll be outta here in 14 days," I kept thinking to myself. Well, actually, I was thinking "fortnight", but I digress. There's so much I wanted to do, but I know I'll forget most of it, or else be too Spirit-minded to really enjoy a lot of it. I wanted to start a band, go longboarding, catch a concert, commit "Nothing Better" by the Postal Service to memory, and finish the world tour on Rock Band.
Some things I think may have been good for me are:
1. A real date (number 5, it would be, for those of you keeping track at home). I'm not into dating 'cause I'm scared; not entirely of being rejected, more of her accepting and then my having to actually go through with it. I'mso terrible when it comes to people.
2. Shaved more (current count is 7, I think), although I haven't had to, which rocks!
3. A kiss. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of my VL status, I just wonder what all the hype is about.
As I look back on the month since I got my call, I notice I've become much more family-concious. I find that the more closely I follow the commandments of the Lord, the more aware I am of my siblings. I have been trying not to forget about my siblings. I try to spend time with each and all of them; I don't want to leave thinking what I did when Sean left, "I missed it."
Sibs and padres, I love you guys.
Calvy, I love you too. :) You're bringing me to tears here. Really.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, wanna be in a band?
Let's go longboarding!
You went to my region concert! (Probably not what you had in mind...)
...Can't help much on Nothing Better, but I can play Rock Band!!
I keep hoping I won't be thinking "I missed it," when you go. But luckily, the more and more I think about it, the more and more I realize, I haven't missed it at all! Thank you for putting in such an excellent effort! I love you. I'll miss you.
