Church was great (as always). I was a little agitated, though, when I walked in. I don't have a lot of self-confidence when I have pimples on my face. I got rid of most of them at Utah, but then we went camping, then came home. I couldn't put my face medicene on then. It really sucks. I do have a lot of self-confidence usually. The only problem is at school. I'm usually quiet. This year I'm going to try to be outspoken. I don't know hat it is, but somehow, this year feels different. A good different. It's like somethings going to happen. Something BIG! I just don't know.

Dad and I attended a Seminary Mtg. The announcement, I thought, was like when the Saints were told to no longer practice polygamy. Or when African Americans were given the priesthood. (You've gotta remember - I'm a teenager.) We're going to have semiary as a ward! Sister Cluff is our teacher. I can already tell she's going to be awesome. Britt Wallace was mad though. He's a senior and now he won't be with the rest of them. His mom and Sister Chestworth were adamently opposed to it. They started argueing the negative sides of it. Dad later said he was disappointed. He said -

"Priesthood leaders debated this issue. It's like when the prophets say something. I can't believe people would speak against it." He was disappointed. I know I will never be those kinds of Mormons. Most of the Freshman (except Reed) were opposed. They don't know the other wards. I'm all for it. Most people were saying "how do you socialize then?" SEMINARY'S NOT FOR SOCIALIZING! It's for understanding the gospel. Now people are talking about having more dances to increase socialization. Parents want us to be more together. So that's why I'm going to have a party. YES, a party. When seminary starts, I'm going to invite the class to come over. We're going to do those personality tests. I think it will be fun. I'm going to do it on (I have to set a date or we won't do it) August 21 or 22.
