Most of the Same

It's been a long time since I've been on this thing and I apologize, mostly to myself for ignoring my blog. I've needed to write out ideas and thoughts badly but I have just found myself going to friends for those needed vent sessions instead. That's not a bad thing but sometimes just writing down ideas helps as well. A lot has transpired in my life in the last month I've been away and I can say that it has been a happy month.

I had two vacations that were a nice break from work and the monotonous end of summer weeks that had crept in around the time I was done working for the school. The mountains were beautiful and serene. It was a great time spent driving and thinking about how the next few years should go for me. I can't ever seem to go a few days without wishing I were in the mountains, sitting my the stream or in a meadow just enjoying the sights and sounds. Right now I'm missing them badly.

School is now in full swing and it's a little terrifying. I've been overwhelmed at times and comfortable as well. I feel like I'm more prepared this time than I was last time around and that makes it a little easier. The long breaks in between classes have provided me the time to get work done so that my nights are free from the stresses of homework. It is such a different environment here than I have experienced at Emporia State. I spent my first day between classes just watching people and writing about it. I wish it were more like ESU but I prefer the class size and professors here.

As usual I have been listening to lots of music and finding new stuff. Nothing really exciting but it's always nice to have new stuff on my trips to class. Pilot has another show coming up which is pretty exciting. I'm looking forward to playing the songs we're playing. They are fun and upbeat songs. I'm terrified to sing though. It's been years since I have sang into a microphone in front of others. I will enjoy it once the day gets here.

So I guess that is it for now. Nothing real deep or thoughtful. I'll try and do that kind of post soon though. For myself mostly. With LOVE.
