And life continues.
Actually, life goes crazy.
My final midterm for the semester is this afternoon. Then 2 more small projects (one of which I am currently avoiding by writing this) and finals. Then we all can hold our collective breath and wait to see if my GPA is going to be high enough. One last great push and hopefully all goes well.
Going to school this time around is entirely different than when I did my first degree. This time I feel smart. I'm getting grades like when I was back in high school. It feels so good to know that I'm not actually a C+/B- student. That I am actually an A student (at least in most subjects). It's amazing the difference between sick and healthy.
In other news, I have a band concert next Tuesday. I started to break in a new reed last night at practice (I play clarinet for those who don't know - I have no clue who may actually read this blog). And my face hurt so bad. After 45 min (of and 1.5 hr practice) I started to sputter around my mouthpiece. Back in high school I could play for 3 hours on a brand new 3 reed and at least have made it through the practice on a 3.5. I was breaking in a 2.5. My mouth is not comparable.
Point being, I don't promise miracles on Tuesday. But I'm going to practice hard this week! There are a few tricky fingerings that I need to nail down.
Wednesday, Nick and I have our orientation for Little Bits. It's an organization that does horseback riding for children with disabilities. And we're going to be volunteering bright and early every Sunday morning. No more sleeping in for us. I'm so excited. I've wanted to do this for a while but didn't have the spare energy while I was making myself better.
It feels so good to be reinvesting in my life. It makes me feel just a little bit more alive.
