The Music of Life

So, most of the time a blog tells you about what a person is up to. What they have been doing and any special things that have happened in their recent lives. This is not one of those posts. Possibly it is because my life has been pretty boring recently. Or it's because the words that fit best are those that are found in the words of popular music. Since being home from college, music has been a huge part of everything I do. Surprising to all who knew me before, but I spend a lot more time now just listening to music than watching TV. It is so interesting how the words of a song can be the perfect words to describe life. So many times just sitting in my room listening to music I catch just a phrase or two of a song and just shake my head and say, "How do they know?" I guess I'm a normal person because someone else out there is having the same feelings I have. I fear to think of what my life would be like silent. No music ever in it. Growing up, I was always involved in music in some way: choir, band, piano, not to mention my love of musicals and radio. Maybe I should start writing songs. Tell my own story through song. Not like they would ever get famous or influence anyone or anything but maybe just for me.

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
