standing at the edge....

Three weeks and my last semester of classes will be over. This seems to be a trend in my ramblings on here of late, but the title says it all. I'm at the edge of something... Resounding in my ears is
what the hell am i going to to with my life?
I wish there were a magical answer, and they mailed it with my diploma and the dorky music ties i'll be wearing for the rest of my life. Its time to build my career- it has to come first. It never has before but if I want to make anything of myself it HAS to now. As much as it hurts, as hard as it is, other things have to come after that. Thankfully, this is the last time in my life that I have to pick up and start completely over- If i don't want to. What I do in the next 5 years has a lot more to do with how the rest of my life will go than the previous 4. I mean, I got a degree (hopefully). But, that won't lead to the kind of life I want in the future- to live comfortably. I look up to my grandparents for that. They have money enough to live comfortably, have a beautiful house, and can help their grandkids out. To do that, they made sacrifices, they went to school and went to school and went to more school. Somehow in there... they managed to even meet eachother, have kids, and grow older... Amazing really- and they did it without things like credit cards and vacations. They're a living economics lesson I wish i would have paid attention to a long time ago.

Someday... i'll look back on this and laugh

It felt good to be a king

So two performances of the Madrigal Dinner are over now. I must say, it was a great experience and I think one of the most lively in my four years in the organization. Its one of those things you can rehearse on forever, but nothing quite prepares you for the experience... Lines are made up as we go... the jokes, everything... The show went really well thanks to a stellar cast and great singers. Sunday the music was better, Saturday the spirit was better. We get to do it one more time on December 5th and I'm actually kind of happy about that... I get to be the most important person in a room for one more night.

Church sucked this weekend... No one was where they were supposed to be when they were supossed to be there. I hope things get better now that we have a new schedule and some extra people to work with. Christmas choir is coming... I really need that to go well to keep my job. I NEED the job until May... then they can fire me. *sigh* Hopefully I can be done with catholicism for awhile after that!

Ultimately, its time for a nap. I had a great time hanging out with Ty and Brian this weekend. We watched Finding Nemo last night and the night before we bummed around Dubois. In a few short weeks I don't get to have a life after 9pm anymore, so its good to do it now I suppose. Oh yeah... lost 2 pounds... go me :)

ANyway, thats all for now....
I'm going to go sit by the phone and wait for my Joel to call.
