It's been a while since I last blogged, and that's because I haven't felt like I've had anything important to say. I realized tonight that not every blog I write has to have some deeper meaning or message. So, I decided to blog about the things that are going well in my life right now, in the hopes that, later on, if I hit a rough patch, I can look back and take stock of the positives.
So, after the fiasco with Financial Aid, a friend of mine stepped in and offered me a job. That makes three part time jobs for me now. The Distance Learning Center (new), the costume shop, and teaching (both with the After School Strings Program as well as private students). Let's see what else? Oh! I'm enrolled in Jazz I and Modern I and I'm having such a good time! Last semester I changed minors from music to dance, and I've been happier ever since. The fact that I'm stretching/moving every day is really helping my shoulder. I'm not cured yet, but I can see a marked improvement...I'm not crippled after symphony rehearsals.
The best thing to be going on right now is I've been dating a really cute guy. Well, I guess that comes across a little strong. We've been on two dates, with a third one to come this Friday. Things are going great so far, and he wants to meet my friends, that's a good sign right? He's funny, and smart, and just as busy as I am. We both understand that we don't need to be around each other 24/7 from the get-go.
On another note, not pun intended, I'm acting principal cellist for the Idaho State Civic Symphony this semester! And I'm getting paid for it! The real principal is in Sweden with his wife, who was awarded a Fullbright Scholarship to go over there and teach.
I'm sure there are many more things and people that are contributing to my happiness, but no more are coming to mind. If you know you have helped, and feel you should be mentioned here, know that, even though my brain forgot you, my mood hasn't!
Until next time, here's a little quote:
"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Abraham Lincoln
