A little bit of everything

This post will be sort of random. Just a little bit of what has happened since my last post. I’ll write whatever comes to mind.

-School started. All my professors seem really nice and fun — score! The work they are handing out seems manageable (for now). I’m taking ECO200, SPE111, PSC101, MUS120, and ART105. I wasn’t too excited for the Economics and Political science class, but am finding out they aren’t all that bad. Economics isn’t as strenuous as it sounded, and political science isn’t as boring as I thought. I actually am finding myself interested in some of that stuff — weird :]. All in all, this semester should be a good one.

-Thanks for everyone who sent me birthday wishes!! It all added up to make my day feel special and loved! Whether through facebook, text messages, phone calls, a homemade cake or flowers — it all meant so much to me!

-I’m missing all the college kids. I have talked to them, and they are doing great. I could feel bad for myself, but when I hear how awesome they are doing, it sort makes me feel stupid being sad :] So, if they are doing well, I’m doing well.

-I have really been excited about this next year regarding youth ministry at our church. I wasn’t the most excited about starting my senior year, but with everything God has been placing in my life, I can’t help but be enthusiastic about this semester/year! I have really been impressed with some of my fellow high schoolers, in how they have been offering their lives up to Christ — letting Him direct their every move. It’s been encouraging to watch them grow. I pray that this year is a fruitful one, and that I can have a strong impact on incoming students and everyone around me.

-I am hesitant about writing about college applications, because I feel guilty in that I should probably be doing that right now. BUT … yeah. The goal was to have some of them in by Monday. That didn’t happen. So now my next goal is September 15. Let’s see if that happens. I’m really going to try — I’m so close. I just have to sit down and do it.

-I have been trying to write some of my new music lately. It’s going…good? Well? Terrible? I would say a mix of “Okay” and “Horrible” :] I’m hoping it’s one of those things where you get better at it, as you go along. Or maybe you were just born with it. I, was not born with that gift.

-I went to my first live concert last week. Not Steve Green (although, I did want to marry him at one point … anyway … ) but Kenny Wayne Shepherd. I never had heard of him before, but was offered a free ticket. Naturally I took it. It was at the House of Blues, which was awesome. It was a good first experience. Not the type of music I would listen to on a CD, but it was definitely cool to see live.  I actually got to accomplish another thing from my “Things to Do” summer list!

-I have picked out my entire program for my senior recital, so that has been a major accomplishment. It’s a lot of music, but I’ll just have to focus real hard on getting it all learned. If you’re reading this, mark your calendars for January 2, 2009 (I know, it’s not the best time in the year). I hope you all can make it!!

-Sleep.
