Surprise!

[This blog took me a while to write. I was very ADD this week.]

Sunday, I had just got back from hanging out at home, and I was cleaning my dorm in the silence. Soon after, I turned my ipod on. I don't like the quiet, unless I'm asleep. A quiet room feels weird. During the silence, I started thinking. No, not the bad, depressing type of thinking. I was thinking about how much I have changed since I graduated. 

I've really surprised myself. I'm a lot freer now. I'm more comfortable with myself.  I feel like I am being me. I've made a new circle of friends that I talk to almost daily. (I have not forgotten my BMHS circle. I miss and love you guys!) Also, I'm closer with friends that I barely hung out with before. It's crazy. I thought that I would only be friends with Loyola people once I started college, but I love that I'm still good friends with my friends who are still in high school. But also, a lot of this feeling has come from this weekend. I finally went and drank at a bar for the first time, which I was kind of nervous about. Idk why, but I was. To sum up that night in general: It was a great night. That's all I'm gonna say.

So I just finished my midterms. They weren't too bad. I actually only had 2. The Into to music industry midterm most of the class failed. I'm not too worried about the grade because there is supposed to be a grade curve. My music theory midterm was separated into 2 parts. The first part was a musicianship exam. This I was worried about. I'm not exactly sure why. I know this stuff. I was fine until about 5 minutes before I had to go in. I was going over some info, and I totally blanked. That's when I started to freak out. Thankfully, Andy walked by and distracted me. Thank you Andy. I needed that. That half of the midterm went fairly well. The second half of the midterm was a timed written test. I  knew what I was doing most of the time. The time kind of killed me. Whatever. I did what I could. I just hope it is good enough to get a good grade.

On to the fun stuff: I finally got a TV for my dorm today(Thursday)!! I had to rearrange some of the stuff in my room. The whole combination of things makes my room a lot more comfortable. I might actually have people come hang out now.

Also, today I have MTO rehearsal for the Avenue Q section of our Recital Hour performance. I'm excited because I get to be Princeton in "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" and "I wish I Could Go Back to College." Yay!

In general, I'm happy with life right now.

I know I'm a little late, but let's take a moment of silence for the closing of [Title of Show] on Broadway.

You wrote an original musical. You became more than just 9 people's favorite thing. You made it to Broadway! You did the impossible! Snaps to you! We'll miss you!!
