Hey Kristi! How are you, girlfriend? I’m okay, I guess. I am so bored! I have no idea what to write about. (Wait a minute; I need to find a pen… There we go, much better!)
I am so tired. This week has been so long and stressfully busy! This weekend will be busy too. Its Lucy’s birthday and I have the seminary party to go to, homework (already) and there’s a fireside from BYU on Sunday.
The fireside is supposed to give us career ideas and teach us all about college. I am excited to go because I would really like to go to BYU. I’m not sure what I will major in yet but I think it would be fun to go. Maybe I will take art, dance, writing, singing and a home ec.-type class.
I don’t know, I don’t really want to go to school more than I have to… but then again, I will probably learn something at BYU unlike public school where the only thing you learn is how to stay awake while people are talking at you on the same boring pitch for seven straight hours.
I’m kidding, it’s not that bad. We do learn some things. I wonder if I would like college better, though. Then I might be able to be a photographer and travel the world! … (Sorry, my ink ran out. Back to colored pencils. Pretty funny looking, huh? Who knows, maybe my colorful, funny-looking entries are keeping you awake! …I know I’m boring but if you don’t like listening to me babble, CLOSE THIS BOOK FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE! There’s no sense in making me look like an idiot!)
Okay, I’m sorry but I had to find another pen… Now what was I saying? Oh yes, college. I still can’t decide if I should go. My patriarchal blessing says that my “educational experiences will extend beyond those of the public school”. What do you think that means? It could mean BYU, right? My blessing says lots of neat things. It also gives me a lot of responsibility. It’s hard to do everything that is expected of us. There are so many opportunities in life to “mess up” and make wrong choices. It’s sad to see how many of us have given up.
Even though I have made so many mistakes in the short amount of time I have lived on this Earth, I haven’t given up yet. I made a goal, when I was young, to return to my Heavenly Father with honor. I haven’t given up yet and I won’t give up until we have won the war against evil. I just wish more were fighting with me.
I am really, really tired now so I am going to bed. Sweet dreams, Kristi.
Love, Melonie
