Nothing Really

I'd like to start out this post by thanking The Decemberists for their new album The King Is Dead. It is wonderful and it is putting me in the absolute best mood right now. I highly suggest you download it right now. Regardless of your musical preferences.

There isn't anything in particular I would really like to write about right now. I just feel like writing. We just finished exams and I'm enjoying a night of 'me time' because we don't have school tomorrow. It has been kind of a crazy week with exams and studying accompaied by practicing and preparing for my audition this weekend. Other random things have been tossed into the mix, such as snow storms, getting hit by a bus, and senior pictures. Yeah I said hit by a bus, but it is definately not as bad as it sounds. Well anyway, this 'me time' is well deserved and necesary. It is kind of crazy to think I'll be doing my first audition in short two days. I have been told about the nerves, stress and excitement that comes with these things and it always just seemed so far off. So did senior year, turning 18, graduating and college... But that all is too soon for me to be comfortable with. Handing out senior pictures, although a bit early in the year, has been a strange experience as well.

So the usual topics, I got stress, school and music covered along with some senioritis and nostalgia. I don't really have anyone I'm too interested in to write about, or anyone who is 'significant' Nothing too catastrophic or life-altering has happened recently. Life is just happening, the exact way it is supposed to. A few small suprises here and there, but mostly routine simplistic living. I'm content with this right now. I know if I wish for excitement, trauma is headed my way. I enjoy the relaxation that accompanies routines though, it is a nice break from all the change and stress. Thank you God for the life you've given me, as it unfolds all around.

P.S. random thought, but I LOVE when I go through and spell-check my posts and NOTHING pops up as misspelled, I am so proud of myself right now.
