Welp, I am. And here's the part that I know I didn't tell you: I am here indefinitely. As in, Stanford starts on the 24th, and I am not going to be there. I have a year left of school - I didn't graduate, but I won't be going back. Why?
And here's the part where I explain it:
You knew I was a Mormon, right? And by this point in our country's history, I'm assuming that you know what a Mormon is (see Mitt Romney, the Book of Mormon musical, the bands Neon Trees or Imagine Dragons, the author of the Twilight books, and a bunch of other people/events that I can't currently think of) - but we're actually called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Did you know that members of this church go on missions? They are largely service/proselytizing, and often times you go to a foreign country, perhaps learning a new language, and almost always it involves getting in over your head, helping people, and learning a lot about yourself.
I've decided to do one of these missions. I will be serving for a year and a half, but I don't know where or when. (I will find out VERY soon) And after I'm done, I'll go back and finish my last year at school. I wanted to do it this way so that I could go back and have a year of school left before I have to start the job search and enter the real world. Just a quick little year.
IN THE MEAN TIME
I'm in Upland, I got a job at tutoring agency, I am bugging Lucas approximately every possible moment, and I am playing the piano like its my job. At least for now, that's what I'm doing.
So, I was going to wait until I knew where I was going to blog, but I missed you crazy people. And by "you crazy people" I mean, I missed telling random stories to a faceless internet.
SO EXPECT MORE OF ME, I'M DONE WITH VACATION!
Meanwhile, Lucas will continue to do this as if I never moved in:
