FINALLY!
a short note.
sometimes it is completely impossible not to rejoice in the loveliness of life, and the small things people do that just make everything better.
so...
1) my thr class is going to be amazing. lots of plays I havent read before, Beckett and Stoppard, even though the professor admitted to the class she hates Beckett (but oddly loves Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead!).
I found this last point mystifying, so I asked her after class...
"What if I really like Beckett?" she laughed and told me that was wonderful (she likes Shaw herself, who, I don't really care for at all, stuffiness). all she wants is lively discussion and she said she just personally wants something more accessible. I asked her about Beckett and R + G are Dead and why she liked that play but hated Beckett, and she laughed again and said, "I know. But I find it more accessible"
I think this will be a fun class, not to mention several people in Romeo and Juliet were in that class that I enjoyed spending time with :) ALSO, a girl that in my archeology class I argued with about Ra and ended up liking immensely when we discovered we were both right, and become friends, is in that class too.
2) my abnormal psych class won't be too bad, and most of the info is online or in a packet (YES!) we also get to take the best 3 scores out of four exams! I might even go, the professor seems cool too.
3) even though the landscape of Falcorps has sadly changed a bit, me and Zach finally finished two new songs we've been dying to play. PROGRESS! we have a big show on Wednesday, and I've been very excited about how much zach has been talking about recording again.
4) my new musical equipment makes me feel a lot more in control of sound and I feel like finally we'll never be without a microphone. I'm learning about how to deal with condenser mics and feeling very enriched.
5) yesterday I went to SBS to buy my coursepack. of course I had to check my bag, and when I went to retrieve it at the end, the BEAUTIFUL girl who was working the storage area asked me what I was there for and I said "Uh, to get my backpack?" she said "Really. you're kidding!" at first I thought she was being nasty and sarcastic, but I realized she was being silly. I said "You're a sarcastic one, are you having a bad day?" she laughed and said "No, it just kind of slipped out! You're a sweetheart, have a wonderful day!" I smiled the whole walk home!
6) I just deposited money in the bank. When the lovely teller woman noticed my green hat and sweatshirt, she gave me a green bag (one of those ones that Meijer sells for "greenness") just because! She asked me where the money was to go, I told her into the "GERMANY" account. She asked me if I was going, I told her no and the story of the account, and she said, "Well, why don't we change that right now, you don't want to have to look at that anymore" :)
7) I can't wait to meet with Diana and work on music stuff, I have lyrics and I can't wait to practice the covers. I've decided I love and am well-suited to "Pale Blue Eyes."
8) one of my favorite clients ever came back to me today and told me that she had gotten into the school she wanted to after we worked on her personal statement. I was so happy that she had gotten in, and she was really thankful. It made me feel great that I could help, even a little. She was such a sweet and engaging person I had confidence she would get in anyway.
9) I work with Lala, Abby, Noah, and Julia! HURRAY!
10) I'm getting lots of creative ideas I can't wait to expand on! I'm also reading a lot of really cool stuff (about to start "American Gods" finally! after finishing "American Splendor") which have encouraged me and given me a lot of ideas.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I finally feel no stress. I feel busy busy busy and so excited about everything I feel exhausted at night, able to sleep! until someone yells outside of course :) but even that doesn't bother me.
I feel like I can take on any project and succeed (of course I have limits, but the feeling is such a drive!). I feel like I'm alive again and that this last semester will be the best yet at MSU. I am completely overjoyed to be here and to be apart of all of this stuff.
ohhhhhh it feels so AMAZING to just be here right now. it's all happening :) I am OVERFLOWING with love!
