Caught Up

It's been a while.

I've been caught off guard since the end of the grading period and the King and I, but now I feel somewhat caught up.

My grandma's back from Hawaii. I haven't seen her yet. My mom told me tonight at the end of the meeting that Grandpa Johnny's dying. I haven't seen him in the longest. I don't know what to do. I feel really distant.

GYC is coming up, and I'm really down about how I'm not going. I'd give up the Christmas gala to go to GYC. Just hearing Jay talk about going to Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles in LA pisses me off. Then at Vespers when the offering was going to the AYA fund. Five days in San Jose without parents with a bunch of dope SDA kids. The Silent Night skit was alright. I was kinda confused though.. Auntie Michelle is a really good actor though. She had me on the verge of tears.

Saturday morning was a journey. I left the house by 8:45am and Kenneth drove me to school. I ended up staying there longer than I anticipated. I feel like my mom took her time getting ready for church because she knew we were going to PV. The program was fine, nothing extremely special. It was really cold that day.. After the service, we left, and I was pissed that I went home instead of going to FilAm for potluck. I was hella ready and everything. By the time I got there, we all just chilled and kicked it. Someone took out glow sticks and then we turned off the lights and lit them. It was hella fun. When we started settling down, I found myself laying on the futon. "Deaj, you're beautiful." The most down time we've ever had together. Afterwards was drill practice. We were out in the rain for a few minutes, then Auntie Beth had us go inside. Boyet and Francis taught Kayla, Riley, and I the double hand salute. Around 6, my mom took Kayla, Ian, Chloe, and I to school, and they watched the King and I. I totally messed up my solo D; King x Anna Planning the Party was alright. When the musical ended, Jay, Francis, AJ, Kayla, and I drove around to Carl's Jr in Sweetwater and bought five spicy chicken sandwiches, then went to the Plaza Bonita food court to eat, hah. I ended up getting home hella late. Oh weeeelll.

Today we got to the meeting late. No big. PT was chill.. but I'm getting tired of playing/watching Capture the Flag. Teens lost again D; But I did accomplish two things!: I freed Ken and I pulled Josh's flag :D After PT was Bible study in the sanctuary. I didn't know what I was supposed to be reading, so I prayed that when I opened the book, that He'd bless me with something to learn from. I found myself in the seventh chapter of Psalm. After Bible study we played Capture the Bacon. When Francis called, "people who wear... GLASSES!" I was in the back, then I think EJ threw a lateral, and I caught it and scored. Haha, greatest accomplishment so far :D When we fell back in, we ate. Then we played White Elephant. Crazy stuff. I ended up leaving with White Chocolate Truffles. When the meeting officially ended, Pastor Kyle called a short GYC meeting in the sanctuary. -___- I stayed in the Fellowship Hall and left before everyone got back from the meeting.

Now I'm home, and I feel ridiculous. I don't feel like it's a good ridiculous. The heater's on, but I feel cold. I'm selling my cat's to buy Christmas presents. This is the last school week of the year. FINALLY.
