(no subject)
so opposed to popular belief, i'm still alive...much to the chagrin of my schedule, which has tried it's very best to eat me alive. but two class-dropping forms and fifteen dollars later, resulting in the absence of covenant singers AND three credit choral conducting from my life, i'm doing much better now than i've been for the last few weeks. ::happy freedom dance:: it took me about three weeks longer than i thought it would to fall back into old covenant patterns, and i've been going through all sorts of culture-shock-type symptoms since being back, but i've finally settled into my life here again and i really couldn't imagine being anywhere else...with anyone else...right now. i wonder how i survived the summer without these people, these amazing, crazy, incredible, insane, hilarious people that make up my family here.
and here's a happy news flash: last week i got a call from the chattanooga symphony asking me to sub for the opening program of the season this weekend. so after rehearsals on sunday, tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, we performed tchaikovsky's fourth symphony and brahms' second piano concerto last night and tonight. i can't even describe the feeling of being surrounded by the sounds of a professional orchestra and performing (and getting paid, muahaha) right along with them...definitely in the top five list of most gratifying and exhilarating experiences ever.
i don't really know how to describe life right now. there's so much to say that i don't know how. God is teaching and blessing me more than i could have imagined possible, and life is full and rich and happy and difficult and frustrating and deep and wonderful all at the same time. and so i never post in my livejournal anymore because there's always a trio, quartet, or orchestra rehearsal, or a meal to run to, or a deep conversation to be had, or a third lobby meeting, or a lesson to teach, or a lesson to attend, or practicing to be done, or a spontaneous trip down the mountain, or ::insert crazyrandom act of gallery or covenant in general here::.
in three words...life is good. God is good. and i couldn't feel more blessed.
