I should probably NOT be doing this right now.

Once again I have waited until the last minute to pack for a camp. The night before speech camp was HORRIBLE and I'm packing for about 5 more days this time....great.

Anyway, tomorrow I'll be in Duncan/Marlow with MARDI! Then, the next day I'll be off to Falls Creek. "Creek Week" is always 100000% the best week of my entire year. Why wouldn't it be? I'll be at my favorite place in the world with my favorite people in the world, getting closer to the Savior of the world!

Last year was amazing! The speaker, Ben Stuart, quickly became my favorite even though he has a lisp. rofl.

Tips for boys:

3.) Sex is the last piece of a radical, self-giving puzzle meant only for heterosexual marriages.
4.) Laziness leads to lust.
5.) Your appetite grows for lust. (never multiply horses, gold, or women. it only leads to greed- a lust for power.)

When you're tired, you're more susceptible to temptation.
