What time is it? SUMMER TIME

Well, I am officially a junior in high school! I took my last exam Wednesday morning so I am now on summer break! Being able to say that is more of a relief than I can tell you. I'm so excited about what's happening this summer. Here's a few of the things I'm doing.

ASP
The senior high mission trip for my youth group this year is Appalachian Service Project. We basically are going into an impoverished area in Appalachia and working on houses. Our youth group has been through a lot in the last several months so I'm a little more excited than usual to see what God does on this trip. I think everyone is going for a different reason. Me, I like mission trips and I want to build/rebuild relationships with a lot of the people in the youth group. After all, these are the people I'll be spending the rest of high school with so I want to know them better.

Hollymont
It's the summer camp my mom, sister, and I go to every year (I wrote a whole post about it here). This will be my tenth summer there and my first as a Counselor in Training or CIT. Hollymont is the two weeks I spend the other fifty looking to. I can't wait to see all of my girls! I'd write more about it, but if I don't stop now I never will.


Raider Workouts
I do these with JROTC. What I'm really excited about is the actual raider season which doesn't start until September (I think). The hard part about this, though, is that I'm not doing marching band because of it. It's been kind of a tough pill to swallow, but I think I made the right decision. And it's not like I'm doing nothing in the fall, I'm going to be at raider meets most weekends.

Books
Near the end of school I started reading again and I've finished two so far and have started another. First I read Dancing at the Harvest Moon by K.C. McKinnon then I tackled The Help by Katherine Stockett. Now I'm on The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen. I highly recommend the first two, I'll let you know on the last one.I love reading outside, but with these dang cicadas I've been driven inside twice now. But that's a story for another post.

And there's a rundown on what I'm doing this summer. 

Currently....
Listening to: A bunch of stuff from Passion 2010.
Waiting on: The A-Team to arrive in my mailbox. 
Hoping to: Go see the new Pirates movie today.
