It's one of those beautiful mornings where you're wide awake because your mind is swirling with excitement over ideas you can't wait to implement. That feeling of being on the cusp of something new, a positive direction for your life. It's mornings like this that I've needed for awhile now. After spending more than enough time in a bit of a rut over things, it's nice to have a bit of a fresh take on things. Even though my worries and fears haven't gone, theres some hope and light shining in my mind now, perhaps guiding me towards a new path. Or perhaps a path period.
I guess what it boils down to is that, even when one doesn't have certainty in one's life, you at least need to know when to put one foot ahead of the other and keep going forward. And that's what I'm going to try and do right now. And where there's a will, there's a way, eh?

Twenty Third Birthday
Today was my twenty third birthday on November 23rd, 2010. At 11:23 Sharon wanted me to make a wish. I did. :)
I don't usually do much for my birthday. Today was, for the most part, Tuesday. And not the best Tuesday in recent memory for that matter, but it did press some real life issues to the forefront. I wish it could have waited until not my birthday, but beggars can't be choosers. I'd rather poor news now that I can alter my plans around than no news later so I'm caught off guard.
One of my students was, however, kind enough to give me a gift. I received, wrapped up all purdy in a bag (the background of the below picture) a can of hairspray and some spray on glitter. Note to any other aspiring teachers, don't tease your students about something all semester long, because it'll come back to bite you in the butt.
I mean, I can't complain completely, she also got me cupcakes. And who knows, maybe I'll actually need a bottle of silver spray glitter that says "Sexy" on the front in the near future? She might just end up saving my tail someday.
Ok, well probably not. But it's the thought that counts, right?

Only about six more days left of student teaching. Kind of frightening.
Have a meeting with WT's Graduate Program advisor for Music before I head to Midland tomorrow. Hopefully that goes well. If it doesn't... eh, I need some good news after today. I'm just going to pray that it does go well.
