Random Details and Trivialities
I'm rife with the intent to update again, but I'm uncertain where to start.
I meant to have this quiet and languid Saturday afternoon, cleaning, going for a walk outside, reading a bit for my class, and then chatting with friends. You know, no plans whatsoever. Go with the flow. But instead, I'm being pulled partially against my will (because truly nothing can override free will - I just see the point that it being presented so I partially agree) to go ahead and find a swimsuit that actually fits me. It makes sense, because I am a notorious last-minute shopper (since I am far from a fan of shopping), and my female family members are attempting to prevent such a thing from occurring. I'm rather the black sheep in the family, being the singular artsy one, who graduated college first, who wants higher degrees, who reads and plays videogames, who doesn't like to gossip constantly, and who doesn't like to shop for hours and hours. *shrugs* Not that I care.
In other news, I'm battling ferociously with my rationality. I get these sweeping feelings of cold realism shortly followed by a completely whitewash of happiness, trust, and peacefulness. It's surreal.
In yet other news, I am officially SONAR savvy. What an amazing sequencing program! Aside from the daunting task of creating an instructional calendar and effective lesson plans (which will hopefully be accomplished next week at the curriculum in-service), I feel much more prepared to teach Music Technology. I was going to post my .wav file that I created as a short commercial for Victoria's Secret (which I was assigned to do last Tuesday), but it's not exactly a masterpiece. I only had an hour, and it's hard to actually compose something decent in such a sort amount of time. Otherwise, I still have two more programs to learn (Sibelius, the notation software and Reason, another sequencing program).
In still some more other news, my History of Education class was rescheduled from Friday to tomorrow. YES. I KNOW. A SUNDAY. I am extremely displeased, since I am supposed to be on summer break. Hopefully, the class won't be as boring as I suspect. If I've learned nothing else this last week, it's that when you are accepting of it, life generally like to give you what you least expect.
What I really wanted to write from the start is that I'm content with life these past few days. It's as if some random door as been opened, and I can see the light again. I suddenly find that my need for companionship from friends has exponentially increased. I may be mildly disturbed on some personal level, but also, I'm really enjoying it. I feel as if I'm getting to know these people all over again. It was great to start to cultivate things again in this past weekend.
And quite randomly, Joe Cocker's "The Letter" pops into my head.
I've now successfully put off getting ready to go out by twenty minutes. Thank you, Livejournal. :)
