Just some thoughts.

May 7, 2008

I think that reflecting at this time of year is cheesy, because everyone does it, so I’m just going to say that I am reflecting and that I reflect everyday, so this isn’t something that I’m doing and writing about specifically because it’s the end of the year; it is an accumulation of thoughts and a build up of feelings that need to be released.

My piano jury was today, and I kind of enjoyed it. Crazy? Yes, a little bit. I forget how much I enjoy playing piano, especially good pianos. I’ve played on several grands recently, and the sound is just fabulous. I know I played a lot a while back, and I have been considering playing even more today just because I love to do it, and I long to be good. There are a lot of pieces that I have been working on off and on for a long time, and I am ready to be able to play those all the way through for enjoyment and not work. Creating music is the best feeling in the world when I am actually creating it and not simply playing and working on pieces, though that is great as well. I just love play.

You know that feeling when you’re exhausted and trying to play a sport but can’t because you haven’t stretched and you’re laughing too hard and your muscles feel limp? Well, I used you a lot. Maybe I am the only one that feels that way. We were playing 500 last night, and I was just dying! It’s a frisbee game, of course, because my friends and I love to throw a disc, and I just reach this point where I can’t move. I haven’t been eating very healthy lately, so I think my energy is down from that.

I’m kind of, ok, not kind of.. but really sad about leaving my friends for most of the summer. They have truly become my family, and I’m not ready to leave the people that I eat with and live with. I’m about to start packing my stuff up later tonight and actually moving out tomorrow, and it’s so crazy to think about!! Tonight is the last night that I will spend in this room, or even on campus. I’m ready. I am. I just want to be able to be strong over the summer, and I think that I will be. It’s just hard to leave.

I can feel some serious reading time drifting my way, and for that I am stoked! I need to finish a multitude of books.. to name a few..

Searching for God Knows What - Donald Miller

The Ethics of What We Eat
The Glass Castle - Jeannette Walls
Mere Christianity - C.S. Lewis

I can see probably five or six other books sitting around if not more that I have probably read a couple of pages of, so those will hopefully be read by the end of.. well, the time that I have to do so.

Farvel.
