“I have come to believe that by and large the human family all has the same secrets, which are both very telling and very important to tell. They are telling in the sense that they tell what is perhaps the central paradox of our condition - that what we hunger for perhaps more than anything else is to be known in our full humanness, and yet that is often just what we also fear more than anything else.” - Frederick Buechner

And so it begins...
So I've been home for about 3 days now and thankfully the initial boredom has worn off. Yesterday I got a job, applied for my liquor license, went to see Troy and managed to run into my ex boyfriend whom I haven't seen in over a year and a half. Needless to say, I was productive.
So I'll be waiting tables at Trapper's this summer, and I hope that doesn't turn out to be a bad thing. They actually hired me on the spot, and I start orientation tomorrow morning bright and early at 9am. Wohoo.
My school bill for the summer is less than $750. I cannot believe this. I'm taking 3 classes, a total of 8 hours for $747.10. Unbelievable. I couldn't even get 2 hours with that at Belmont... crazy.
Troy was a good movie. Very hot. Yes, very hot.
The old boyfriend situation was not as bad as it could have been, but a tad bit awkward nonetheless. Especially after I left and realized that I had my "engagement ring" on... I have a feeling I'll have to explain that one eventually... oh well.

Another year, gone.
And yet another year leaves me speechless. I suppose the more I think of it, that's how it really should be. So many things to say, and yet no way to say them. I remember the end of last year... so many things in limbo, the future unknown.. and yet, it was as though I knew that chapter of my life was finished. This year leaves me in a completely different state, feeling as though this is ending is only the beginning.
So what can I say about it, my first year at Belmont? Looking back at one of hardest/easiest decisions I have ever made, I can honestly say that I made the right choice.
It's been a good year. It's been a great year! Of course I have some regrets, I've done things I never thought I would (both good and bad)and I can't believe how much I have learned and experienced. I've been to more shows in this 1 year than most people go to their whole lives. I've seen my fair share of famous people, I've gone to amazing art exhibits, the Nashville Film festival, and the Flameworthy Awards, I've worked the Nashville New Music Conference, and I've eaten out more than I ever have in my entire life! I've discovered some amazing music, and I've made some amazing music of my own. I went to a midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, I've seen a handful of foreign/independent films and I've walked Music Row my fair share of times. I found a church that I LOVE and some of the best friends I will ever have. If that's not living, then I don't know what is.
I can't believe that this year is already over, and that I'm half-way through with my college career. It's scary really, thinking about the fact that in 2 years I won't have a fall semester to register for. In 2 years I'll have even more bills to pay. In 2 years I will get a wake-up call from Sallie Mae... But more importantly, in 2 years this will all be over..and I just don't know what to make of that.
Funny, last year I was afraid of what would happen to me if I didn't leave Pt. Loma.. now I am afraid of what will happen to me once I do leave Belmont...

Riverstages Review and Random Rantings...
So Johnny Lang's faces were funny, Wyclef Jean scared the pants off the sound guys when he decided to climb up the sound tower and toss the mic up and down, Fuel was terrible, Graham Colton's band is one of my new faves, Switchfoot was good, but they didn't perform my favorite song, Patty Griffin was wonderful, G. Love was cut short, The Stereophonics convinced me to get a CD, Fountains of Wayne was alright, the Foo Fighters were pretty cool and of course The Strokes Rocked... just in case any of you care.
So how was this week? Pretty hectic. I honestly can't believe that it's Friday already. Since thursday(aka:yesterday) i've had 2 juries (both awful, thanks for caring.) my piano proficiency (i passed wohoo) my conducting final (4 recits. and a choral # from The Messiah), and my Theory Final (gag me... a one page choral to analyze with 5 modulations, 1 of which I swear was almost unrecognizable... not to mention a figured bass piece to fully compose). Now all that's left is my Survey of Recording Technology final on Tuesday. Then I get in the car and drive home Wed. where I will do everything humanly possible to make money so that I can put gas in my car and buy books for summer school which begins June 1st at 8am. Boy, this summer sure looks promising.
Please pray that Rachel gets me the CD in time, and that I get an amazing phone call from Smiley.
I really really need this.... so is it too much to ask?
