Freshman year: done.
Hold on while I go run around the lake a couple times in utter, joyous exhilaration. (Side note: it took me three tries to spell exhilaration correctly. *sigh* Apparently four days without school and I'm already losing knowledge).
It strikes me how important transitions can be in certain periods of our lives. When a gradual transition isn't possible, the result is either high stress or a better result because I didn't have time to worry. So, how am I transitioning into summer?
By working, using up my hours in the conservatory office. I had three days at home before I was back at school, haha. It would have been nice to be at home this week, but I'm staying with one of the ladies from the office. She and her husband have a beautiful house beside a marvelous lake. To top it off, her husband loves to cook! I had a cornish hen, brown rice, and corn on the cob for dinner. Right now, I'm watching a cake show on TLC. I feel like I'm already on vacation.
The sad thing is that I'll only have one day at home before we're on the road again. Friday I work in the office, Friday night I work at a dress rehearsal for a dance concert, then I drive home for some sleep. Saturday morning my whole family leaves at 7:20 a.m. to go pack meals at church. After that we leave for the beach.
Hopefully sometime this summer I'll just...relax.
But why would I want that? Hahahahahaha.
Happy summer!
in the midst of passing bravery , in the face of our own injuries, is the constant generosity of grace. It's the beauty in the tales we tell, it's the pressing on and ending well , it's the joy that comes when we give our self away ~Sara Groves

"Let Us Not Be Hasty"
It bothers me when people jump into things without thinking about the consequences. It really bothers me when people don't set themselves up for success. It really REALLY bothers me when people do all this and hurt others in the process.
Come on, people. Live like you value every minute. If you don't value your own time, consider the people who do. You would have an easier...hold on while I stuff envelopes.
Done. I love work study. To be honest, it's quite refreshing to work with people who have already graduated college. It gives me hope for the world. And they're all so positive, it's just great. I've met a lot of the teachers thanks to having this job.
I shall get off my soapbox now. :)

Fall break was nice, and it made for a very short school week. I don't have any homework save practicing and working ahead on math, so I am going home for the weekend. I get to see one of my brother's baseball games. I miss those. He was going to have a tournament up here, which would have been very fun, but it was moved. Big bummer.
Things are going smoothly with school. I got my midterms and my grades are fine. Stats could be better, but it might in the end. Part of the problem in that class is that the prof's voice is so soothing. I have a hard time staying awake!
It has been beautiful up here. I went for a bike ride yesterday and found a nice housing development. It's fairly hilly, which is good because you can't go all that fast in neighborhoods. It would also be good for rollerblades, I think. Oh joy, another thing to store in my dorm room.
Okay I must shred paper now. Bye bye.
