Welcome Back!

Well, dear reader, please let me apologize for not writing sooner. The catch phrase around here has been "it's soo crazy!" ... and it is. But that is no excuse. Here's a quick update about the stuff that happened between then and now.



First, Obamarama. Kudos. I hope the momentum sticks, people need something to hang onto in these truly insane economic times. But I don't feel like talking politics tonight.



The music building has been an interesting place to be these past few weeks. I'm in a wonderful, but odd place. I absolutely love what I'm doing and where I'm at, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm horribly out of place. "Relationships" with people who are, by definition, my superior have been tricky simply because they're miles out of my comfort zone. The lines change daily - making initial conversation bumbling and indirect until I find my ground and put my game face on. After that I'm safe (with most), and I'm getting better. I look forward to the challenge.



Next semester is going to be fabulous, in all honesty. I'll be taking a full course load, working on campus, and doing the church job. That's it! No crazy high school stuff, no sporadic schedule anywhere else. Classes start at 11:00 Monday, Wednesday, Friday! Tuesday/Thursday is 9:30 Theory (but it's my favorite class and my favorite professor so it's all good). I can actually work out in the morning and have a set practice routine. Thank goodness. I might actually have my sanity this time next semester!



I cleaned everything today. It's very nice to live in such a small space - I can do a top-to-bottom scrub of the entire place in just a day. House keeping has become a therapeutic activity for me, even though I used to resent every minute of it as a kid. It is unbelievably calming to take a day off, turn on some good music, and move everything, clean it, vacuum the floor, and put it all back perfectly. mmmm.



Thursday was the last night of its kind. Time to get back into my usual character - the one who cares about grades, punctuality, etiquette, and presentation. I am a good kid, I am. I just need to get my act together from the past couple of weeks and nail all of my finals.

That being said, I should go to bed. I have to sing in the morning!

This has been fun. I promise it'll happen again. :D
