hectic

Things have been hectic. I've not had a decent hour to call my own nowadays, but that's to be expected for the end of the semester...or so I'm told. I appreciate that I have work study. I mean -- who wouldn't want a nice cushy job like handling tickets at the School of Music box office or ushering concerts you get to attend for free? Or occasionally see a theater performance free? Can't get any better you say? Well, this fall I'll be working the office scheduling all the dudes and dudettes to work those concerts/shows and I'll get credit for doing it. Not bad, huh? Actually, I'm really looking forward to that because (1) I won't have to be out at all hours of the nice (such a homebody) and (2) I'll be able to have work be 'central', easy and fit nicely into my school/work schedule as well as giving me a life!! :)

I'm also excited about the the fall/spring '08/'09 year because I'll be doing what I set out to do: study music and languages (starting up with German). I can't WAIT!! :) After sitting through 4+ classes of core curriculum, I thought, "Why am I doing this? I already have a degree. Why am I wasting time sitting in a class that does not serve my goals?" This brought me to basics again -- go to school for what you WANT to study, Mara...duh! :) After all, I'm not 18. I've already lived that first half of my life. Now, it's time for me to do what I want to do, not what I 'should' do!! Yup! I'm excited! :)

stay tuned....
