Futuro...El Porvenir

School is going to be ending soon for me. I'm starting to become more reflective and retrospective; I think more about the things I've done, the many lessons I've learned, the people who have helped me along the way, and I also look to the future.
While MHS has been a great outlet for testing my testimony and a great way for me to learn who I am. I have really come out of my shell while at MHS, in regards to social situations, and I am really happy that I've been able to do so. I've met a ton of really awesome people, mainly teachers, but a lot of my friends are really great, sometimes weird, but really great overall.
As I think about the life ahead of me, all i can think about is my impending voyage to BYU and my fast-approaching mission. I know that BYU is where I am supposed to go, and I now know what I'm going to study, however I am still a little nervous about the friends that I have yet to make. I ask myself constantly whether or not I'll be able to make such great friends as the friends I've been able to become so attached to out here. I also cannot believe that I'll actually be closer (in relative distance) to all my church friends, as the closest one lives three or four miles away.
Also, with regards to the whole mission thing...I was lying in my bed last night after my personal prayer, and before I fell asleep I realized something rather odd. I realized that in less than 9 months I can be turning in my papers, which mean that in less than a year's time I can know where I'll be serving my mission. I cannot wait, I'm thoroughly excited and wicked pumped for my mission...
As for life right now, all I can do is keep saing "Endure to the End" to myself. School is wicked boring and actually more like a chore for me now, which has never been the case for me. It's actually painful to be in that school now, I just want to be reading at home, or hangin' out with my cool mama. Argh....I have AP tests in less than a month......ew.
Oh well, as they say in Spain, "¡que todo vaya bien!"
