Today, for the first time in my college career I sat down in my private lesson and performed like a college music student should. I made a few mistakes here and there but for the most part my playing was excellent-I even got a good job from my teacher! Something that NEVER happens.
This cause band to freaking rock for me today. The two hour rehearsal flew by for the most part and I nailed most of the things that have been giving me trouble. Practicing helped but a big part of it was having a clear and level head, a good mood in my heart, and a happiness that I have never known fill me up and take control. This happiness I'm talking about is knowing someone like her can care for and take care of someone like me, an undeserving mess. "I owe it all to my girls ex-boyfriend" This mess is getting his act together, finally, all the work I've been doing personally is starting to show and pay off. I can feel a change inside me, a change in the weather for good and it feels amazing :)
Skipped my Bible Studies class tonight in an effort to not only spend a beautifully warm evening with the almost, but also get my presentation together for tomorrow. I'll be going in to teach the Bongos to a group of 6th graders in a less privalaged area of the city tomorrow. I've never officially been in front and in charge of a classroom before. Of course there will be 4 of my peers there with me, and we are going to break the class down in to small groups-but I'm still a little nervous and apprehensive. Tomorrow is the first test to see if this is truly what I want to be doing for the rest of my life.
Alrighty time to get my poster board together and get in to bed.
end of line.
