(no subject)
First day of tour was highly successful. The trip there was probably the most interesting, I think. It was nice to catch up with Jenny. We had an interesting small discussion on our thoughts of love (whether or not you really can find MUTUAL deep love, or if you just have to decide whether you want to be the one IN love or the one who IS loved and settle), decided that when we're 40 and unmarried we'll move in together and have fourty cats and hire Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood to dress up as an elf and hobbit, respectively, discussed the possibility of auditioning for Tokyo Disney in June (I'm serious about this...if we got it, it's a one year contract, $500/wk, blah blah blah) and just...goofed off. It was nice. Jenny decided to meet up with one of her World of Warcraft guild members for the first time while we were in Savannah...he seems like a nice guy, just really quiet. He wound up coming to the performance. He's going to the Savannah College of Arts and Design ( a REALLY expensive well respected art school here) for animation, but doesn't watch anime *rolls eyes* ^_~
The performance went really well, I think. On a personal front, the only glitch on my side was tripping on my dress while climbing up the stairs to the entrance...in fact, the stair everyone could see me trip on. It took a lot of work and composure to keep myself from laughing...though I wasn't 100% successful. We have some really deeply religious songs, and a few of them hold a special place in my heart...one stands out in particular, but I'll share that later.
I ate at a Greek restaurant for the first time. It was pricey, but pretty good...we all stopped at the Savannah Candy Co. on the way back to the Parish to change. I was good and got only ONE chocolate pinwheel, and it took me a period of a few hours to eat it all. On the way back from the Parish to the actual church, a 2 or so block walk, it decided to pour rain, so we're all in concert attire without umbrellas. Needless to say, we (most of us...I had a coat to cover myself ;) ) were all soaking wet for the performance.
We got home around eleven or so, and I made a few phone calls and made it to bed around midnight or so after a few phone calls because I was pretty exhausted. I was sleeping soundly until about 2:30 am when Maria called to ask me to go do something with her. I drowsily declined, only to find I couldn't go back to sleep until 4 a.m.....but don't worry, Maria. It's just because my body isn't used to being asleep before 4 am in the first place anymore ^_^
So now, I'm at work for a few hours. My boss just called to complain about a few things and inform me that I've not been performing at 100%...which I'm well aware of. I deserved that. I'm in this "I won't be here forever so I don't really care and I'm unmotivated anyway" rut right now. It's something I've been aware of, but can't seem to shake myself out of it. I guess if I want a raise, like I desperately need, I'm going to have to work harder, so I won't be around on the internet as much anymore during the day. I also found out he chewed out the delivery guys, so I'm not feeling too bad about it. Plus, they've had a family emergency this week, so I know he's a bit stressed. I'm not really taking it personally. I just feel stuck in a rut. He said "I know this semester has been a bit difficult for you and school comes first, but you need to try a little harder." Yeah, I know.
This semester has been a bit rough. Though God is bringing me through some wonderful changes, I think it's obvious to those who know me pretty well and who are around me semi daily that I'm struggling with a bit of depression. I'm trying, but it doesn't mean I'll always win. I'll get out of it. I think it's just a rough time for a lot of people right now. I was frustrated because it seems like I've lost my passion to sing at school....I don't care anymore....but then I've noticed that a lot of people around me are experiencing the same thing. We're all in a rut together. This next semester off will be good for me.
Well, I'm off. I need to do a few things around the store because I get off soon, then we're heading out to sing again.
Love you guys.
