A Busy Week Ahead

Greetings,

First, I would like to apologize for not posting in a while, but a lot has been going on recently.

For starters, there is a speech and debate tournament (which I am participating in) at my church this Friday and Saturday, being as the rest of my speech club lives about 45 minutes east of here, my mom has been put in charge of a lot of the organization above and beyond what we need to do normally to prepare. I have no doubt that this week will be hectic. The following is a schedule for my week.

Monday: Prepare for speech tournament, work on room diagrams, practice persuasive and impromptu, try to get some school done (didn’t happen)

Tuesday: Prepare for speech club meeting, go to speech club meeting (leave 10:15am get back 5:45pm), eat supper (and man, I’m glad I crammed that in there)

Wednesday: Prepare for speech tournament, maybe do some school if I get the chance, prayer meeting, probably practice humorous duo with partner at church

Thursday: Last minute frantic preparations for speech tournament, school? (Yeah right), help set up at church for the tournament, go to bed early

Friday: wake up at 5:00am to go to the tournament and run around in a suit trying to get chairs to the right people, hang out with whoever from my club comes (with the addition of bumpas), and probably watch a few of the Jr. Varsity speech rounds, go to bed early

Saturday: wake up at 4:30am to go to the tournament and present persuasive speech and impromptu, talk to friends, play cards, and relax in between rounds, crash.

Anyway, that’s what I’m looking at for this week.

Other than that, I just have a couple of things to mention:

First, on Saturday, my sister found out that see had gotten a really big collage scholarship. Praise the Lord. He was undoubtedly working in that situation. Besides that, she also received another smaller (but still substantial) scholarship. Like I said God is working here, but this part’s even better: There was one scholarship that my sister was for, my mom mailed the package from the post office about a week ago (two days before the sent-by line). Yesterday, it came back to us in the mail without a stamp. Note: this was not our fault; the post worker had forgotten the stamp. Anyway, my dad called the people giving the scholarship and they were very nice and let my mom take the paperwork up there almost four days after the line! God is great!

And secondly, some of you will most likely be interested to learn that I have finally seen Pride and Prejudice (yes the A&E), well at least the highlights. Watching the movie, I had three thoughts, 1) Man, my pastor was right, this is a chick flick. 2) But it is pretty good. And 3) I’m going to memorize and use that first proposal by Mr. Darsey (ok, well maybe not use, but I thought that was one of the most interesting scenes).

So, anyway, I have lots to do.

Good bye.
