The Highs & The Lows Of Life

I guess one does change on life's waves make their impressions in the bedrock of youth.  I used to have such problems staying in the library to study.  It was especially difficult during the warm summer months.  It still isn't easy but the discipline is gradually becoming more evident in my life.  My, but what a struggle this life has been.  How happy I have been at times and how low I have plunged.  Sometimes life is so filled with activities that the excitement never seems to ebb.  At other times the daily grind of things can approach a hypnotic state.

I took a tour through the MTC tonight.  It was my Religion 130 class (Mission Prep).  I felt the Spirit very strongly.

Blessings, Trials & An Awkward Date Dance

3:30, 3:00, 1:30 - that's my excuse for no journal entries the last couple days.  I can't believe how blessed I have been.

There have been some real trials for me to overcome in this life and I'm still working on quite a few.  The Lord has given me so much.

School is going well and my social life is going along after than I can manage.

Tonight I was asked if I would be the lead in the ward play, "Cinderella".  I am going to play the part of Prince Charming.  I don't know what to expect.

Valerie is on vacation and I'm looking forward to a letter from Anne.

Last night I doubled with Jim and Laneeda Lucero.  I took out Laneeda's friend, Mary.  We had a barbecue which was fun.  Then we went to a dance which was not fun because every girl I've ever met in the whole wide world (including Lisa) was there.  All of Val's roommates were there.  Founder Bridge was playing and I felt like everyone was watching me.

Luce and I went golfing for the first time on Saturday.  I haven't golfed for 10 years and it was a lot of fun to get out and hit a few.
