Jr. Music went very well overall, but my tent was really bad. I had four guys who were really hard to keep track of... they didn't get along with each other, with the other kids, or with the other counselors. All in all they were pretty difficult to control. One of them even got hit in the head and got a concussion and I had to spend a night in the hospital with him. Aside from that... the week was really quite good. I loved leading recreation and band and handbells. Handbells was probably the highlight of my week... I had a great choir this year, and one little girl even told me that handbells was her favorite part of camp. How cool is that!? The program went very well on Saturday, and the kids were just awesome. Yeah, so that was Jr. Music.

PYC was a little different this year... I don't know. It just wasn't my best year. Part of it may have been that I was just very tired all week... never really got recovered from Jr. Music before PYC started... actually, I still haven't completely recovered... I've been staying up late and then sleeping in and I'm just a little bit out of sync... but anyways, back to camp. It was actually a very good week, I just wasn't feeling it this time around. I think part of it is that there's supposed to be this really close knit group of seniors or whatever, and we just didn't have that. My best guy friends were all there... but my female friends are all younger than me, and I didn't get to spend very much time with them this week... I feel bad about that. I especially feel like I kind of blew Katy off, and I really feel like a jerk for it. She's always been such a good friend to me, I feel like I was really a jerk to her last week.

Last week wasn't all bad, though... we had a really good senior vespers, it was very cool, very emotional, very moving, whatever you want to call it. I almost broke down crying when I gave my senior testimony, and then all the girls started crying and I felt bad for making everybody cry... it was really a good service, though. Then we had this MASSIVE bonfire... it was just one of those things that you see and you know you're never going to forget. Ask me about it sometime and I'll tell you in more detail... it's too hard to describe online.

We had a really good program on Saturday, too... the choir sang the piece that Michele and I arranged so well... I was crying while they were singing it... it was intense. We're already talking about doing another one for Jr. Music next year... since I won't be at PYC (which does make me sad, even if it wasn't my best year this year).

One other big thing that happened over the two weeks... my friend Deanna and I got really close during Jr. Music and quickly realized that there was something else there... I am so incredibly happy right now... we had the most amazing couple of weeks, and she is so awesome... I don't even know what to say. She lives a LONG ways away... but we're both committed to trying to make it work... so here's hoping. I'm really afraid to tell Kerri, though... I'm just afraid she's not going to take that news very well... and I know that you all read this... even though I'm talking about people that read it... but I treat this like an actual journal... anybody who wants to read it can. That's how I'm feeling right now.

Yeah, so I guess that's pretty much it for now... I'll post again soon (sooner than it took for this one, at least!). Bye everybody.
