So I was standing in front of one of Lisa's paintings at her art show, and I almost started crying. Her painting was so gorgeous, and it got me thinking about a lot of things...like how proud I am of all of my fellow seniors. All of these senior recitals, Lisa's art show, ending our leadership positions...where the hell did the time go? We've all grown so much as people that it's incredible. I'm so grateful for all of the people I have gotten to know, and who have grown alongside me. I just can't believe it. Part of me feels like freshman year was AGES ago, and part of me feels like we're all getting here on our first day of band camp, 18 years old, nervous/excited. It's...surreal.
I'm so glad I did not go to a bigger school. For all of the bullshit that the music department and the college puts us through, I woudlnt' change a thing. First of all, a lot of us woudln't even know each other. People from different ensembles often don't meet at bigger schools. Also, there'd be so much competetion that a lot of us wouldn't be friends because of it. I wouldn't trade anything in the world for all of the experiences I've had with so many wonderful people. Thanks, guys.
I can't believe that this year is coming to an end so QUICKLY. Last night, we figured out that there's only 3 Brenda parties left. That was a weird thing to think about. We're planning for our senior ceremonies in greek organizations, and that's crazy. I remember not realizing that I was going to actually be doing that someday...and now it's here. I can't believe it.
And you know, I'm sad. I really am...but I'm ready, too. I'm ready to live it up these last few weeks. I'll do what I have to do to get decent grades, but more importantly, I'm going to hang out with the people I have so little time left with. I'm going to make sure that I say all I need to say to the people I care about, to spend as much time as possible with them, to share my last weeks with them. You know, Jilian died before she got to do all that. I'm going to take something from her death, and this is it. TRULY live in the moment. you never knwo what tomorrow might bring. Make the most of the time you have.
