Bad News

Bad news of the week....ITUNES STOPPED WORKING. I can't open it (it physically will not open because of something or other that is missing) so I tried re-downloading it (several times) and nothing is working. I even went to itunes.com and tried to use their little help me guide, and it still isn't working. I feel lost and left alone in this big world without access to my itunes. Of course I have my ipod, which charges on my alarm clock, but it's not the same! Obviously I have access to music in other aspects, but I want my music. I am not the most savvy person when it comes to fixing technology, so I am at a loss. What do I do now?

Today's song of the day: Variations from an original theme, "Enigma", Variation number 9:Nimrod - by Elgar
This piece is almost a religious experience. It is an orchestral setting, but it is soooo beautiful!! If you are really ambitious see if you can find the entire set of all 14 variations. I'm definitely feeling the part of the nerdy music student today. With this admittance of what a nerd I am, I will now commence writing my paper that I have been putting off all week.

The Prodigal Daughter

I feel a bit like the Prodigal Daughter of the blogging world. I haven't blogged in months, but am back in full swing! I hopefully won't make this too terribly long, I hate when I get long winded.

Today's song: "Curbside Prophet" (acoustic version) by Jason Mraz....so wonderful!!

click me for a treat for your ears!!

I felt like this semester I kind of got off track of me, and have been having some issues finding who I am and where I'm going.....like I've been in Limbo or something. I'm not claiming by any means that I have all my issues resolved, but I am more comfortable with where I'm at in my life and where I'm headed for now. I think a big role in this was Lent (I'm Catholic). I really just feel like I was able to re-find myself and met me where I'm at. I know that sentence was all kinds of crazy bad grammar, and so is this one, but it's the only way I know how to explain myself. I am happy with where I am at. 

This semester is finally coming to a close school-wise, and I couldn't be more ready for it to end! I am mentally exhausted at this point, but I cannot wait to get into new classes! I am taking a three-week minimester online of biology, which may just kill me, but I'm kind of nerdily excited for it! Then in the fall I am transferring schools from my current junior college to a 4-year University to finish my degree so I am definitely ready for that change in scenery and challenges. 

Last but not least, today was an awesome day filled with funny God moments and coinciding ideas. I almost become giddy at the thought of how well today went and how many things tied together and how much I needed today after this weekend....opera rehearsal and concert Friday night, middle-school retreat I helped with all day Saturday, then same concert repeated Saturday night, sang in church choir Sunday morning, then helped with Sunday school stuff for the high schoolers at my church Sunday night, and I took an online psychology test that I might have bombed (oops)....crazy and tiring and wonderful all at the same time.
