Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set the example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity. I Timothy 4:12

This is your life...

... I mean, mine...

On Mondays I have School of the Bible in Springfield from 6:30 – 8:30 PM (a time commitment from 5:45 to 9:30).
On Tuesdays I babysit from 9 – 5 (roughly; it changes).
On Wednesdays I have piano lessons in the morning, church in the evening, and sometimes errands before church.
On Thursdays I have AIM from roughly 11:30 to 5:30.
On Fridays I have nothing.
On Saturdays I have nothing but school.
On Sundays I have church in the morning and group at night.

The only time commitment that’s going to change in the foreseeable future is that School of the Bible will be over in a month or so… so I’d better get used to this schedule.

I’ve been doing it for a month now; you’d think I’d be used to it by now. Alas, I’ve yet to become accustomed to this whirlwind life. I know I keep talking about it, but this IS my blog, and what’s going on in my life right now is… well, life. So that’s why I’m talking about it.

Tomorrow I’m going to take the ACT and be done with it. That’ll be nice. I’m moving along quickly in physics and though it takes me a while to get the concepts; once I get them I tend to do pretty well on the tests. I’m on module 8… halfway done!

Cleaned a lodge with Ms. Kelly and another lady last Saturday. The place was HUGE – it housed 30 people – and it had 6 ½ bathrooms. I cleaned them all, plus some other random work. The bathrooms took the bulk of my time. Look it up – it’s breathtaking. The Rusty Moose Lodge in Branson West.

We had practice yesterday. Our team’s first presentation is tomorrow – I’ll miss it – but it doesn’t really count because none of the new team members are going to be there. The first one with everyone will be this coming Monday. Anyway, all that meant that we had a LOT to cover and polish and prep this practice. Ryan showed up to help, which was super nice. Jo and I kept asking him to clean up various parts. It was almost like having three SALT people (man, what a novel thought). Eight days till the MT gets home…

The review Bible study went really well. I was definitely pleased that the girls seemed to have learned something and it was really encouraging to see that the Word was changing us. The guys study must have gone well, too – they spent the whole hour and a half on it. Bummer for discipleship time but good for Bible study. We only spent half an hour on the Bible study – the girls aren’t real verbose – and half an hour on discipleship. The other half hour we played Ducky Wucky. I’ll never let Tess spin me in that game ever again. When I went to find someone to sit on, all the chairs were empty. I stripped off my blindfold and found that Tess had told all the girls to leave the room while she was spinning me. They were all giggling at me and I immediately attacked Tess. It was fun.

Practice went pretty well. We really polished End of the Beginning and then realized that we didn’t have time to polish the other songs like that so the rest of them we kinda flew through. We threw together Via Dolorosa with Alex, Maria, Charleton, Emily, Sadie, John, Moriah, Jo and I. It was super interesting since Alex, Maria and Charleton didn’t know it at all and Alex and Charleton had to do the guard parts. Ryan marched with them and tried to explain the song while telling them what to do while Jo asked if someone was going to put the crown of thorns on while I tried to tell Maria what was going on and do the Mary part at the same time. It was maddeningly hilarious.

We also threw together There is a God with a similar bunch but without me since I won’t be at the presentation tomorrow. Virtuoso was super easy except for we just picked places in the circle and they weren’t exactly right. Oh, well – we’ll work on that next week. I am TERRIBLE at the zoned out part in that song. I’ve got to get someone else to do it.

Then we did the patriotic stuff. Gotta go to bed. Hope to write more soon. Getting tired of this “weekly blog post” thing.
