I can't sleep. There's too loud of music playing, my brother.

(9:29am)

In church. About to start. Right now, the tech team is trying to figure out how to play the audio. I also figured out that Sydney, the girl from my church who was going to New Town for a while, is no longer going to New Town. She's going back to her old school. She was only here temperarily. She asked why I was still in school, since I'm 19. It's because I started school later and was held back, by choice, one year.

Ms. Wendy, the woman who I help on the powerpoints, asked if I was into girls yet. I got a haircut and she asked if I had a hot date. When I said no, she asked if I had a girlfriend. I don't. I guess since every other teen is dating, it seems odd that I'm not. She's (Ms. Wendy) young and peppy, only in mid 30s, married, and has 2 kids (an 8 or 9 year old daughter named Jazzy, and a 3 month old named Xavier). She teaches at Roland Parks (which is also where Maya goes).

I came back from my first Steering Committee meeting for my church's youth ministry. A Steering committee is basically just a group of people (2 parents, 2 volunteers, and 4 youths) who set up the events, topics, and ideas of the youth group. We just talked about how to run the ministry effectively and when we should have outings and discussions. We also discussed our budget. The comittee consists of me, Jacquynn, Sydney, and Maya for the youth, Mr. Omar (our youth leader) for one of the volunteers, and Mrs. Butler (Sydney's mom) as one of the parents. All these leadership positions are making my head spin %(

I found this video from an old blog I did last year. I think it shows a great representation of what most school students face, not only in high school but now middle school, too, it seems.
