I don't want to repeat last year!!!

Last year, on the way to Summit, I as well as two of my teammates got food poisoning on the way to Summit and while it hit one of my teammates really hard, it also really hit me. Opening ceremonies was hard because I didn't feel good at all. This morning, at the beginning of Church, I felt the same way I did that night and with Summit in 3 days, I really want to get better quickly. Thankfully, I'm feeling better right now, but I still don't feel completely well.

Another thing I don't want to repeat is my performance in Fine Arts. Last year, I was extremely nervous during my solo and everyone could tell nerves were getting to me. This year, I feel slightly more confident right now, but I'm still nervous and I'm really hoping that I'll do better this year.

Lastly, I really want to do better in quiz this year than I did last year. Last year, I didn't study at all, and my team made it to silver. This year, I'm actually studying and know most of what I'm supposed to know and I would really like to go farther.

Despite my desires to have this year's Summit go better for me than last year did, I know that God is the one who is in control and so above anything and everything else that I want, I want His will to be done and for Him to be glorified by not only me, but by my whole team.

Less than a week 'til Summit!!!

So we leave next Wednesday and despite the fact that I'm not ready at all, ok, maybe I'm exaggerating, but anyway I'm really looking forward to Summit. I'm getting things done faster this week than I thought I would (For instance, I finished memorizing my solo in 3 days and was able to run through it with accompaniment tonight.), but I still have so much to do. I haven't memorized any more Bible Summaries because I've been memorizing my solo, and I haven't finished choreography for my dance either. This next week is going to go by so quickly!!! I can't wait for summit to get here!!

Summit's 10 days away!!!!

So, Summit is 10 days away and I finally finished memorizing the Old Testament Bible Summaries. Now I have to attack the New Testament Summaries as well as my fine arts. I have to memorize my solo and finish choreographing my dance. The dance I probably won't get to until next weekend because unlike the others, if worse comes to worse, I'll just have to improv.
