Ok so I guess it has been awhile since I wrote. Hmmm.... where to start huh?
I am still working at Wal-Mart but I work in the dairy section now. I start college tomorrow and I am not a bit nervous. I am going in as a music major and my theory professor was a former concert pianist for thirty years. She is also my piano professor. Just by talking with her for forty five minutes I've become so excited about what I am going to learn. She's going to teach me on a 135,000 grand piano!!
I am constantly checking up on the band, I miss being apart of it. Watching them from the sidelines makes me so proud of all the band has accomplished in these few years. I think I miss Caviness and band council the most. Alot of people consider Caviness there second dad but to me he was like an older brother. Always giving advice but trying to get me in trouble at the same time. I miss being infront of the band council and I actually miss hearing them argue over something stupid.
Candice and I have the same classes! Rock on! It's going to be sweet having someone I know on the first day in the majority of my classes. Speaking of Candice, I was thinking today about some of the stuff I regret doing while I was in high school. There are a few people I regret not becoming good friends with. Candice is one of them, she was always strong and not afraid to live her own life. Wish some of that would of rubbed off on me. Thomas is another, he is the funniest mexican I've ever met. Always chewing gum and trying to make people laugh. Patrick is the last person, Patrick is the biggest asshole I know at times and he generally doesn't like to work but he is determined and I've never seen him not stick up for a friend. He is really loyal and I respect him alot for that.
I 've got the first couple of paragraphs in the serenity prayer etched in my mind until I die. I've been reading it over and over and it has helped improve my life alot. I am learning to cope with things I can't control and realizing the things I can. It says "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." Nothing hits truer than that. I was so focused on trying to fix things I can't change that the things I could do to improve my life just swept by me.
Well shit I gotta get up early and I am writing this stupid thing. I really don't even know if people read it, I don't think anyone really does when they write... it just helps me vent a little.
