Well, now my blog finally looks exactly how I want it to. I suppose now that the typical I'm-still-figuring-this-out posts are out of the way, it may be a good idea to say a few things about myself. But you know what? I don't feel like it. I'm a writer, and I know enough to show not tell.

Currently I'm trying to decipher my own feelings. I'm definitely tired. I'm also slightly apprehensive, because in just a few hours, I'll be going on a mission to the Dominican Republic. I'm not really nervous or scared; I've been to Mexico on a similar trip, but I've heard different thing about DR, and it sounds very unlike Mexico. Plus, I'm not entirely sure what we'll be doing down there. In Mexico, the mission was clear: build a house for a family that has none. But this time around, I have choices to make about what I'll be doing, which is bad, because I'm horrible at decision making. That's mostly because I'm overly analytical and try to figure out the best choice instead of going with my feelings.

Only two of my friends are going on this trip with me, and they're two that I really only see at church on sundays, and sometimes Wednesdays. Well, hopefully this will be a good time to get to know Megan and Katie better.

Now I have to wrap this up. My mom's going to come in here in a minute and yell at me for not getting ready.

Until next week,
