Now that I quit the bookstore....

Today was officially the first day of class for me (I have no class on Mondays). I got out of class early today, because the state of our room was horrible. It wasn't even a real room in an actual building. It was a portable with a hole in the floor, a leaky roof (I'm assuming, since some of the chairs in the back were wet), and mold growing on the ceiling (no wonder it smelled funny in there). So the teacher's trying to get us another room. Anyway, once I got out of class, I suddenly had a feeling of "now what?" which is something I hadn't felt since the spring semester. For the past few months, I've always had somewhere to be, and something to do. But to actually have nothing (aside from a couple errands), was... refreshing... I mean, I can actually take my time now! I have time to relax!!!! I gotta tell ya, it feels amazing.

A couple of things I'd like to comment on: 1)I don't think my math class this semester is going to be that bad, because I can already tell that my teacher is really, really cool. She is both professional and casual, both serious and fun, and she tells it like it is. I've never had a teacher like her.
2)Band camp was fun, even though I was in and out a lot (out more than in). And yes, I missed a lot of the fun, which kinda makes me mad. But at least I got to make some memories. More importantly, band camp brought me back to life. I swear, when we played the warm-up chorale for the very first time, my heart started beating... and I began to breathe again... And that new half note chorale sent shudders through me. It was wonderful. And it was then that I remembered that that's what I live for. I live for all the wonderful emotions and physical sensations that music makes me feel. It's just not of this world.... If I were to describe it all, it might sound weird to you. I really don't know if anyone could really understand. I get the feeling that I feel music on a deeper level than most... Why do you think I decided to be a Music Performance major? I'm addicted to how music makes me feel...
