Friday (whoa, just realized. Today's 9/11)

Ah, today was a good day.

Went to seminary today for the second time this year. Sis. Brinkerhoff is one of the nicest ladies I've ever met. I guess you could say that I job-shadow the seminary teachers that work in town. After class I have to stay because I get my ride home from Sis. Brinkerhoff. I help her and the other teachers clean up and we have a good time chatting and laughing about various topics. Sis. Berg is the Freshman teacher for seminary this year, and she is the wife of the Patriarch that gave me my Patriarchal Blessing. She is a very sweet woman. It's great getting to know these good people! But I miss Sis. Allen and Sis. Dastrup from last year; they were released.

Today's seminary class was spiritually potent. It was abut the 3 Acts that make up Premortal, Mortal, and Postmortal life. They related it to a play in which you participated in. The thing is, you don't know what happened in Act I. Which is why you must read the script. You will see a lot of bad things happen on the stage. But it all has to happen. It all turns out alright in the end of the play in Act III. So remember that. That works with Habit 3: Begin With The End in Mind. Just try to see the big picture; it's so much easier to make the right decisions when you are! :)

Today's choir practice was not as dull as yesterday's. It was a bit more fun. We're starting a song ("Chumbera") and we got to do some more entertaining warm ups.

Today I also had some fun describing a way I would estimate how many deer there are on an island for Biology. I wonder what the comments to my discussion will be like.

Tonight was movie night, and we had an okay time. We saw a couple Simpsons episodes (with a foul-language filter!), and then my parents watched a movie called A Walk to Remember. I watched the first part and thought it was lame and decided go read a book instead. But I came back during the second half of the movie and discovered awesomeness. It was a really religious, dramatic, romantic film and I almost cried. Mom did. But it has a few wordies in it so don't watch it unless you have a filter. It was so good. It was a good Christian film and I felt like screaming to the characters, "THE MORMONS!! GO LISTEN TO THE MORMONS!!"

 That's how I feel about a lot of people.
