miles away from sanity

Yeah, so, October? I’m not very current. *sweatdrop*

Well, I have had a lot go on in my life since then. Bradin and I are still together, and quite in love, and I’m surely enjoying that!

I’m just getting into the semester, and I’m slightly overwhelmed already. I have the block going on, which is just plain scary. For those of you who don’t know what the education block here at SUU, it’s a group of classes you have to take in the Education Department the semester before you student teach to wrap up all the things you should know and so they have a final assessment of whether you’ll be a good teacher. Part of those classes is Practicum, where you have to go out into the schools to observe and teach. I’ll get my assignment soon! Anyway, Along with that, which is a whole lot of classes, I have my Senior Voice Recital Coming up on February 9th. I have my preview on January 26th. Plus, I’m taking my normal 3 ensembles, taking an internet course (which is quite involved), Playing Salute to Youth on the cello in March with the Southwest Symphony, and working at Wal-Mart Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays as a Customer Service Manager. Can we say stress? Yeah… It’s a hefty semester, for sure.

I’ve been trying to go off Caffeine to get ready for the recital. I’ve been really successful until just a day ago, because I only got 3 ½ hours of sleep, which isn’t NEARLY enough.

You know what else is hard? There is so much preparation that goes into putting a recital together. It’s really quite scary. Thank Goodness I’m not a performance major and have to deal with this a lot more often.

I’ve also been on a video game kick and been quite lazy, which isn’t good. I’m such a bad procrastinator. Hopefully I’ll get everything together.
